HUNCARIANS FIGHT

A rather serious melee took place
on the farm of Chas. l.. Best, Thurs
day, in which John Gross, tenant on
the farm, and another Hungarian
were implicated. 1t appears that the
latter who is known as Joe and who
is single man, appeared at the
Gross home and demanded payment
of loan of eighty dollars which he
had previously made. Gross states
he told the man he did not have the
money to pay the debt with just then
but that if he were in a hurry for
it he could take cow which had been
bought with the proceeds of the loan.
Shortly after this Gross says he heard
his wife scream and on looking out of
the tool house where he was working
found that his creditor was making
vicious assault on mis- wife having
thrown her to the ground and bitten
one of her hands. AS Mrs. Gross
is in delicate condition of health the
enraged husband grabbed a club and
rushed to the assistance of his wife
and it is said that he inflicted some
very severe injuries on the intruder,
cutting his head and hands so badly
that it took surgeon about two
hours to dress his wounds, twenty
two stitches, besides liberal quantities
of adhesive plaster being required in
the operation. 1t is said that both
parties are anticipating court action.

where she continued to reside for
fifteen years. Following this Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitman moved to Thetford

REVIVAL. MEETINGS

The Kadey meetings are on. En-
thusiasm prevails. Interest and at
tendance are steadily increasing. The
outlook is encouraging and definite
results are expected. Evangelist
kadey lays stress on the old-fashioned
faith once delivered to the saints"

issue. No apology is offered for the

much interst to the meetings under
their direction. The large chorus
choir is proving valuable asset to
the campaign.
We quote below few "shots"
from the Kadey sermons: you'll
have to be more than church mem
Der if you ever get to heaven"
Its not what people notice about
you, it's what God sees in you that
counts"
IF you have not the courage to
come down here to the front and get
upon your knees in humble confes-
sion of sin, you would be no use to
God of you did join the church."
What you need is a choke bore
that sends the truth into your hide.
not blunderbus that scatters every
where and hits nothing"
Don't "get excited because some
folks are getting sore over these
meetings. A dog never howls till he's
hit"
1T takes more than noise to get
a prayer to God"
God is more interested in what
you are than in what you say"
Pray with your heart as well as
your lips if you don't want God to
hang up the receiver"
