COVE COMMENTS.
By C. A. Renouf.

The bazaar at the hall on Sat.
urday evening of last week, while
not crowded with visitors, was
quite a success, both financially
and socially. Of course, as a
mere man | was not interested in
the embroidery and fancy worked
feminine doodads but | did Cat
the last gasp with my last dime)
capture a pair of embroidered pill
low cases and on state occasions
| may be permitted to lay my
head at least on one of them.
What interested me mostly was
Mr.. Doyle's radio, a really fine
set, and | heard a selection lin
trumental) from II Trovatore as
| approached the hall. 1t was
clear and distinct, but | wondered
why the broadcasting outfits will
persist in in1icting that accursed
jazz on their audiences. It is
only fit for the wilds of Africa
and mostly sounds like the beating
of tom toms with tom cat ac-
compartment. The radio is too
sensitive and delicate to transmit
such trash, but the human voice or
the organ comes cut clear as a
bell and is something well worth
listening to.
Among other features ON the
program We're two songs by Mrs,
Tjomsland who played her own
accompaniment. OF course You
have all heard Mrs. Tjomsland
sing at one time or another. J
have heard a few good singers in
my day, in places as far apart as
England and Alaska, and without
a suspicion of hattery | will just
say that | have never heard a bet
ter voice than that of which Mrs.
Tjomsland is the possessor. She
is true musician from A to u.

MOON AS A WITNESS
IN WHISKEY CASE

WAYCROSS, April q. as the
moon shining on February IS, or
was it not? This is the question upon
which the fate of Rufus looks,
charged with having whisky in his
possession viii hinge when the case
is called for trial in the City court.
Monday in Recorders court, At
torney John w. Bennett and City
Attorney D. NJ Parker argued the
point at some length but neither
of the attorneys was able to con-
vince Recorder Crawley, and mis-
honor decided that the question was
one for jury to decide.
Mistaken identity was the con-
tention of the defense, who argued
that the police were unable to see
the defendant on the night of the
thirteenth. Attorney Parker, in re-
buttal produced a leaf torn from a
calendar to prove that there was a
full moon on that night. Attorney
Bennett came back with a leaf torn
from another calendar showing that
there was not a mooY at all on the
night Of the thirteenth. 1t was at
this. point that Recorder Crawley de-
cided the question was one that a
jury alone could decide and bound
the defendant over to the City court.

Meetings at Presbyterian
Church in May

The announcement several weeks
ago that the Rev. Geo. Guile of the
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. will
return on May for another Bible
conference at the PRESBYTERIAN
church, was greeted with delight n
the part of representatives of all
tFakhurches of Americas.
Dse who heard Mr.. Guile last
year were carried away with the evil
dence of his rare knowledge Of the
Bible and his equally rare ability to
present its truth in clear and
forceful manner, making it read
liz understood by young and old
alike. Every statement which Mr..
Guile is supported by passages from
the Bible and his fatihfulness to the
Bible and regard for it to integ-
ritv has given him nationwide re-
mutation as a defender Of the
truth which is growing with the
days.
And not only is Mr.. Guile wise
and winsome teacher of the word
Init a splendid Christian gentlemen
Of charming personality. Upon the
occasion of his former visit to Amer

friends by those who heard him, so

UNKNOWN PARTIES STAY
NEGRO NIGHT WATCHMAN

PERRY, April 25.-Tom Irvine, a
negro night Waterman at the Moore
Lumber company's plant at sand led
near Kathleen, was killed Sunday
night about :. clock. Coroner A. B.
night about 2 o'clock. Coroner A. B.
Schilling held an inquest Monday
morning and Fred Wise. was sworn
and testified that he slept in the
shaving room and went to sleep
about 9 o'clock. He said he did not
hear any noise during the night.
About 7 O'Clock this morning, he
came out and saw Tom lying on
the ground and thought he was asleep
and reported it to w. c. Wheeler,
who went where Tom was and found
him dead. In the shed where Tom
was lying dead was steel rod with
blood on it. Tom was struck with
the rod over the eyes and is supposed
to have died almost instantly, as
Fred Wise, who was not far from
him, heard no cutlery during the
night. Tom was known to have a
nice sum of money-how much is
not known. His wife IS being held
by 7. S. Chapman, who hopes to get
something from her with which to
work in apprehending the murderer.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
that Tom Irwin came to his death
at the hands of unknown parties,
the same being murder.
