East End Sabbath School Pienic. Mr. Editor: It is our privilege to tell you that the East End Sabbath school gave its annual picnic last Sat urday. Through the courtesy of Mr. G. M. Sligh we were bade welcome to Ebe nezer church and church yard for the day. Mr. Sligh also spent the day with us. Many thanks for his kind ness. Early in the morning the Sabbath school gathered at the church. Shout -ing boys and laughing girls soon told that our rustic trains were on hand. A few minutes put the living freight aboard, and away went the jolly crowd for the picnic ground. It was a bright !occasion. The morning looked a lit tle lowering, but all seemed to think every cloud had a "silver lining." A program was prepared for the children's pleasure and heartily they went into the practical part of it. Those above real children had a kind of pleasure of their own, into which only two were admitted, yet no one thought them selfish. But our Sabbath school picnic must not be all mirth. We must remember that we are working for our Master and that the crown of the occasion must b egiven to Him. "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Col. W. H. Hunt, our chosen speaker, ar rived in due time and he gave us an address than which none could better. It was an earnest appeal to parents and children to think of the duties and responsibilities resting upon them. He urged them to be up and doing with al their might, that they might lead some poor sinful sout to Christ. May his weighty words be "seed sown on good ground." After Col. Hunt's ad dress a sumptuous dinner was spread. That good man, Mr. Bowles, invoked the dinner blessing in his reverential way All then enjoyed the dinner. The versation, till the trains began to roll in when all were ready to get back to Mollohon to prepare for the Sabbath duties. To the Messrs. Dodd and Friday spe cial thanks are due, as they labored hard all day to give others pleas ure. J., A. L. t Grateful Appreciation. The Herald and News likes to run across beautiful things, whether in art. nature or in the life of humanity, be cause of a belief in the beautiful, the good and the true. The reporter hap- 1 pened at the postoffice the other day t and saw a letter that Dr. W. G. Hou seal had just received, in which The Herald and News man bt-ame at once interested to the extept of asking con sent for the publication of parts of it.' The doctor finally yielded to the per suasive argument so far as allowing a little local made of the letter. He was too modest, however, to let tne most complimentary portions of the letter appear in print. To explain matters, It is necessary to state that some time ago Rupert Riser, while practicing at the college gymnasium, fell and broke a part of his elbow joint. Dr. Houseal thought that the accident would leave Rupert with a stiff arm for life. How success ful he was in his treatment of the broken elbow, and the gratitude of the parents, will be seen by the letter, a little part of which is as follows: "Dear Doctor: It is with pleasure that we receive our boy back home again, sound and well. We have you to thank for it. We appreciate your kindnesses often repeated as they have been. . . . The break was at a bad place, and it must have put you to much trouble to make it a good arm. I am grateful. "Rupert is lively, and seems well; but has his arm in the sling yet. He seems to think it ought to be so. We have him use the arm a little. "Thanking you again, for myself and wife, also for his grandparents, I beg to remain always, "Your friend, "Y. von A. Riser." Of course the Rev. Mr. Riser did not expect to see the above in print, neither did Dr. Houseal intend to give it to the public, but The Herald and News feels that Mr. Riser's friends will be glad to learn that in treating the broken member Dr. Houseal has been able "to make It a good arm." Newberry Took Both Games. The Newberry Juniors celebrated the Fourth by taking both games .of a double-header from Goldville, on the latter's grounds.

A certain countryman was chargei n a magistrate's court as feloniousl: :aking, stealing and carrying awa: hree geese, the property of a womal 'eighbor. The facts being that th< reese were upon the land of the man iamaging his young corn, he drovi hem into his pasture and kept them emanding a small amount as darn tges. The legal question before the cour: >eing: 1. Whether any larceny had beer :ommitted in taking up these geest qhile on the man's land damaging hie :orn, and for that purpose, the inten ion to steal being wanting, the geese eing taken up in the day time, whilE amaging the young corn, while thE 'wner was looking on, and simply eld for the payment of damages tc he corn. 2. Wlgether poultry is included un er the statute (Section 1497) which aakes it "unlawful for any owner ol er domestic animals, to run at large beyond the limits of his own land." The legal dictionary classifying poul try under head of animals (domitae naturae) and Webster's International dictionary, defining an animal as a creature with breath ("animns" breath) with: power of voluntary mo tion and digestion. The trespassing of one - neighbor's chickens, geese, turkeys, etc., on an other, is a source of great and gener al annoyance and damage, and the I question how to regulate such tress passing is a very important one to al most every one. One circuit judge has already de cided that a goose is an animal, evi dently because it is a breathing, mov ing, digesting, living creature, and the statutes make it unlawful for the owner of all domestic animals to al low same to trespass. The magistrate decided the man was guilty of larceny of these geese. The decision now being appealed from, and the higher court will decide whether any one has the right to pro tect his crop from damages under the statute law or under the common law. News of Pomarla.
