WARRANT TRIAL
A hotly fought caae waa tried in the
court of Justice A. James at Irvington
on laat Saturday morning. Arthur
Messick warranted Willie Taylor, of
White Stone, for aix dollars. Taylor
notifled Meaaick that he would offset
the clsim to the extent of $1.50. Mes?
sick denied the offset in toto. Both
partiesgot rungup and cleared for ac?
tion. They came into the forum of
Justice James, each backed by hia law
yer. All suggestions of compromiae
offered by the friendly lawyers were
scouted. Justice James even offered
to pay half rather than judge the fight,
and to save time, but no quarter was
asked or given by the psrties. It was
"win the horse or lose the saddle''
straight through. The crowd grew
large as the contentions of the attor
neys rsng out on the morning air.
When the smoke cleared away, Mes?
sick stood victor over the prostrate
form of his relentless antagoniat. Tay?
lor in settling up waa heard to asaert
that he had much rather go to jail than
pay the extra one-fifty, and Measick
gave his lawyer courage by asaerting
during the heat of battle that he'd rath?
er give up one hundred cold plunks
than lose the case.
LETTER OF THANKS.
Permit me through your columns to
express our appreciation to the peo?
ple of White Stone Circuit for their
kindnesa to us since we have been
among them. We were met at the
boat by Dr. W. J. Newbill and brought
to the parsonage, where everything
was in readiness to receive the new
preacher and family. The ladies had
been to the parsonage and left the pan
try well supplied. The next day the
people began to drop in to get acquaint
ed with the preacher and family and
every person wbo came brought some
thing to add to the pantry suppiies.
Almost every day since, some one has
remerabered the people who live in the
parsonage.
A few daya before Xmas the people
of Irvington gave us a surprise party
in the form of a very large pounding.
During the holidays we received sev?
eral boxes from different people, while
they remembered their friends and lov?
ed onea they also remembered their
paator and family.
We have received nothing but kind?
nesa since we have been here. While
we have left so many of our friends on
the Eastern Shore and regretted doing
so, yet, we have been placed amid s
people whose kindnesa cannot be sur
passed by any. They have won
our hearts. May we have grace to
minister to thia people in spiritual
things aa they have given us temporal
things. May this year be bleased to
us sTl and may we see the work of the
Lord greatly prospering.
Youra truly

THOUGHT HADES TURNED LOOSE
Bewlldered Travelers See a Streak
ef Ureaaed Flame aad Take
to the liaaber.
As the shades of night were falling
fast last Monday a pair of Romeos were
speeding it toward Kilroarnock, behind
a certain popular phyaician's horse
named "Devil", when afront loomed
up a line of flame that made them think
of the great Eubank flre. Of course
the horse's name had nothing to do with
their easy consciences, but for some
reason thoughts of the Inferno crossed
their vision and both simultaneously
ejaculated "H-has broke looae!"
One scrambled out and started to ahin
up a pine tree, while the other steer
ed his horse into the nearby thicket.
Past them like greased lightnlng thef
flame sped down the road. It had
hooked up to it one of the scaredest
anirnals man ever saw. A buggy on
fire and the flame fanned by the Maud
S. pace left a streak about ten ysrds
long behind. Thoughts of a comet
hitched to a horse, or chasing him,
?flashed through the two gallants minds.
After it had passed the tremulous
pair crept out, and followed?but afar
off. They could not have caught up
had they tried. The apparition was
solved when the runaway steed took up
in a patch of wooda and started af resh
with only shafts, axle and spring. The
consuming buggy continued for awhile
to make lurid the darkening air.
A careless negro driver and a lantern
were the cause of all the conaternation.
Returning with Eubank's buggy the
driver had a lantern under the buggy
robe. Getting out to stretch his limbs,
the horse started up, upset the lantern
and?the rest has been told.
