her. After an instant's silent con-

thought Marise, that incapacitated
her from having a valid opinion

Eugene Eugenia discussion had
somehow taken place in another
dimension than the one she knew.
She was not allowed to ponder
the question, however, receiving
at this point another irnpassioned

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
True Love.
BY Beatrice, Fairfax

Ii =
I am twenty years Of age
and have been going about
with a man who is twenty-four
for nearly two years. Some
time ago he gave me a ring
and said. it was an engagement
ring: But don't know whether
to take it as that or not, as
he keeps writing to another
girl.
I asked him to stop and he
says there is no harm in
friendship letters. Now, 1 gave
up my friends for him. When
we are at a public gathering
he always tries to speak to
! other girls. I can't give him
up and / don't know how /
could make him understand
Can you give me advice?
ROSE.
TRUE love casts out fear-and
jealousy. Perhaps If you
showed more faith in this man,
and didn't nag at him when he
happens to show little friendly
interest in another girl. he would
OF his own accord make an eff
fort to avoid hurting your feel
ings. Sensitiveness is generally
self-love. Have more faith in 10y
atty and in, your own power to
command a real love, and you
won't see so many flaws in the
love, that is offered you. An en-
gagement ring is a token of good
faith and devotion, so don't seek
barriers to the happiness that is
yours if you don't repel it.

The day Of grace, or Tie N-a,-
OF grace Is that period marhrl by
the Cross Of Calvary and the morn
Ing of the resurrection. Grace lc-
gan to pour out it's stream Of Gods
favor and beneyolence ON Calvary's
brow, when Christ died for men.
When the angel shouts. the dead
in Christ shall rise first, and on the
morning Of the resurrection, when
Christ begins His reign, the day of
grace will end. Between these two
events the Church is operating, pre-
sehting the gospel Of grace rs lost
world. Not one knows when Christ
is coming. Therefore every one In
the Church should work inccs-
sanity; work while It is day; work
while the day of grace llngers;
work while opportunity affords;
work while life lasts. The period
of time in which we can work IS
very short. The life of the average
Christian is fOrty-fiye years. lie
must do his best work in the last
twenty. When the Christian dies
his opportunity to he useful is gone.
If he has not preached and worked
during that period, then he must
pass into the presence Of Christ
with empty hands, unfinished work,
and lost sdttls who might have been
touched by him. This is very sad
picture. but how much more sad ~
the picture Of the sinner dying be
fore he Is saved His day OF grace
ended in darkness. There Is no
chance for him beyond the grave.
The general period Of grace viii
end with the coming Of Christ; but
each sinners day Of grace ends
the moment his breath leaves his
body. lie will never be given an
other chance lie has sinned
against light, against God, against
opportunity, against the Church,
ngainSt himself lie Is dead. lost,
damned; his day Of grace ended;
he neglected to be saved; he is lost.

language as sad MS that.

LIGHTNING KILLS
span OF MULES
Misfortune PWSueS EH-Deputy

Loss Within Year.

Mr.. w. A. Webb, ex-Deputy
Sheriff Of Hampstead County,
sustained a heavy loss in a fine
pair of mules, by lightning, at
his home in Ozan, Saturday af.
ternoon during a thunder and
rain storm. The mules were
standing in the barn lot when
the bolt struck them. Both
were instantly killed.
A few months ago Mr.. Webb
lost a good mule by death.
These misfortunes bring to
mind the fact that several
months ago Mr.. Webb's barl,
containing a large quantity oi
hay and valuable farm imple-
ments, was burned. The origin
of the barn fire was never def
nitely known, tho many peo-
pie believed sparks from a pass
ing engine causes the fire.

Respectable JunkiHg of King

Myers Block TEST.

Efforts to make a test at the
King No. / well in Sec. PAIL
25, drilling / 3-4 miles east OF
Washington by the Columbus
Hope Oil Co., proved futile and
abandonment. of the well was
decided on at a meeting of Off
cials of the company last Fri
day. The company, however,
will make every effort to Sc
cure enough FUNDS from its
members to finance a new hole.
If successful in this, the der
rick will be skidded and the
new test started as soon as
possible.
Failure to complete the King
No. l test was due to inability
to shut off the water. After
the entire string of casing had
dropped Is feet to bottom the
crew was not successful in re-
moving all of it from the we'll
as it became wedged. AS last
resort it was decided to screw
into the casing remaining in the
hole and cement. This appar-
antly was a success, but it is
now believed that the lower
joints of casing were crooked
and that the bit worked thru
the side when the cement was
being drilled out.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
TWO Hampstead County Men

A grade crossing accident In
which two Hampstead county
men narrowly escaped death,

Both men escaped serious in

of the car, had been to Magno-

daughters, Misses Rubye and
Hazel, to Magnolia, where they

the return trip many cars were
passed on the road. When ten
miles out from Buckner at 8
o'clock Sunday night, not
knowing they were approach
ing a Cotton Belt grade cross
ing, light was observed ahead
but it was thought to be from
another car. The light, how
ever, was from an approaching
locomotive, which was in close
proximity to the automobile
when discovered. Seeing he
did not have time to clear the
track, Stophs jammed the
brakes and brought the car to

ana the casing ordered set. The
well looked so good to the pro-
motors that they are anxious
to begin a new hole at the
earliest possible moment and
say they will be able to do so
if further cooperation from the
land owners is Forthcoming.
Two incidents of the week
have caused all eyes to turn
to the Frank Myers well, the
Nichols No. l, in Section I'LL
25, l mile north of the city linn
its of Washington. One of
these is the junking of the King
we'll and the other the pres
ence of gas in quantity at the
1185 foot depth last Sunday
morning. The gas showing
was so good that a halt was
made and the setting of 10-inch
casing considered, but as the
quantity of gas diminished in
the afternoon it was decided
the extra expense would not
be justified.
This well, located south of
the Tycap test, has been a IA
voTite with many since it was
5pudded in the latter part of
July. The present depth is
1885 feet. Drilling has been
suspended at the we'll the past
three days to put a new cyl
inder in the engine and make
other repairs. On the whole,
few delays have been had at
the Nichols No. l and progress
has been splendid.
Manager Myers says ne in
tends to profit by the expert
ence of otha-s and will safe
guard his we'll by setting 8-iuch

depth.
