largely devoted to. tho discussion of
topics bea ring upon, religio?" lifo br
thought- On '.Dntiea of thc Laity" it
waa brought bu! th ! the great major
ity bf the laity did not realize their
respnnsihili'y as an integral and uec
cessary part of theChuroh. The Re
formation iu the Church of England
aud The Revision of the Prayer Book
in the loth Century were closely re
lated subjects. lu their discussion it
waB developed that no church was
founded iu England as the result nf
the Reformation hut that the Church
of England preserving its continuity
and holding fast to those ancient cus
toms and doctrines which seemed good
merely threw off and discarded the
corruptions which had prevailed dur
ing the middle ages.
Tho delegates were hospitably en
tertained at tho homes of Messrs W.
P Breeden, Jackson, Maultsby, Hod
ges, Cobb, Beatty, Douglas, Rogers
and Dr M aison.

Ignorance ol' tho Bible.
"To a man 83 years old, on his
dying bcd it was news that Jesus
Christ was dead. Mr,, Osborne of
the Society of St John tho Baptist,
Wost End, told of recently meet
ing a girl 17 years old who had
nover heard ot Jesus Christ or
Adam and live, and tho same
ministor recently ran across a
business man who waa not ac

A SHOCKINGvTKAGEDY. ^
ADrunken Husband Kills Els
Wife With Knife:and Gun.. ? 1 :
On Tuesday morning between two \
and three o'clock, the officers of the
law were aroused i rom theil slumbers '
with the news that Mr. Henry Pat- '
rick bad taken his gun and shot hi*
wife to death. The load striking ber :
in the neck.
Those who got into the house first ;
found Henry io the yard in a?druok
en stupor and Mrs. Patrick lying un
her. face on the floor of the bcd room
dead. She leaves two .children ages
two and six.
Mr. Patrick was taken in a wagon
to jail but be was too drunk to know
anything about the shocking killing.
Coroner Covington went down
Tuesday morning and held an inquest
but there was no testimony to change
the above, except that in addition to
the gunshot wounds, knife wounds on
the throat were found.
PL/EA$1S Remember,
that Hamilton sells goods at
a very close per cent-the
quantity is what he ligures
for.

Horse
For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are won
derfully effective because they cre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer
cise in the filling of a physician's
J prescription. High grade and real
' merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
small doses, prepared from the
purest and highly concentrated in
gredients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade-are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good
for-everything powders now on the
market.
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
up in doses, and good for horses
and mules only.
"Having tried many klnd9 of Condition Pow
dery, I consider Ashcraft's the beet on tho
market. I take pleasure in recommending
thom to my friends and customers.-H. CAMP
