William Day and Joe Hubbard, of near Lee, will have their trial for chicken stealing next Tuesday morning. \ * / One of those circumstances which frequently occur In a preacher’s experience and add to his fund of stories, happened at one ot the meetings in a recent Methodist revival. A colored youth, black as the ace of spades, went forward under conviction, and as a natural expression of gladness, the preacher wanted to lift his voice In tuneful praise. “Sing No. 90!” he shouted, calling the number which first occurred to him. When he opened his book he whirled around to the organist and whispered, “For goodness sake don’t start that; we’ll take something else.” And he promptly gave out another hymn. Those who had the curiosity to turn to No. RO found that it was “Wash me, and 1 Shall be Whiter than Snow.” 0 » ■ i -■—■■■■ ■■■■ i ■■ Members of the South Bend W. R.
