no spring trimming a ear ago. but who

Three shots rang out on the morning
air in Pickering last Friday morning
and dead man lay on the floor of
the store of N. G. Jordan. That is
what comes of grabbing an axe to at
tempt to kill another.
Ii appears that Parson Hancock, as
the negro was called, had been owing
Mr.. Jordan bill for goods for some
time, and there was always some excuse
offered for the non-payment OF it.
When he came into the store for
some more goods last Friday morning
be became angry at being dunned for
the bill again and commenced to use
language that was not OF the best.
Then the words between the two be-
came warmer until it is alleged that
Hancock grabbed an axe. Well, he
grabbed it, and, that's all.
The jury returned verdict of juSti-
fable homicide.

METHODIST CHURCH

Everyone is invited to hear Hoff-

jest for the morning hour viii be: The
Secret Of Success in the Early
Church. The subject for the evening"
will be: ''Baffled to Fight Better. .
Now, if God is doing more for Others,
i IS because they have fallen in more
completely with Gods holy will and
thus made it possible for him to do
more for them.
Think this oyer-your pastor has
abilities and liabilities. His abilities
are his opportunity; his liabilities are
your opportunity: use it. Suppose
that the members Of given church
your own, for instance-instead of
grumbling because of some things the
pastor does not do. or criticising him
because he evidently cannot do them,
should recognize in his very inability
an opportunity for themselves, and
should go to work and do some of the
things themselveas-what do you sup
pose the resault would be. 1t might
be very interesting experiment to try

to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ming to form pools, inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
