Dr. C. W. Austell had the misfortune
to have his horse run away
Wednesday afternoon. The horse
was left at the side gate alone,
hitched to the buggy, something
^frightened him and ho ran. The
h buggy is a complete wreck. This
h is a dangerous practice to leave a
f - horse unhitched because some one
might be killed and other horses
driven by ladies on the street might
u be made to run away.

He was about 18 years old, and had j
been in declining health for the
past year. He, it is thought, contracted
a severe cold which developed
into consumption, the immediate
cause of his death. He was a
young man of strong characteristics,
possessed a bright mind and fully
calculated to develop into a good
and useful citizen. He is gone, cut
off in the very bloom of youth. He
leaves father, mother, sisters, brothers
and many friends to mourn his
untimely death. The bereaved

Easter I It is a brightness of the
soul more beautiful than the brightness
of the day, more evident than
the sun. I would that I could carry
into all hearts filled with shadow,
veiled in mourning, a ray of that
divine dawn.
Why, then, do so many Christians
fail to catch the vivifying
secret of this royal day?
, It is because they do not know
what Easter owes to Good Friday.
The glory of Easter is not directly
accessible to us. To conquer it we
must pass through the "via dolorosa.".
Such is the meaning of the 1
Scriptures, and life confirms and |
illustrates the scriptures. Superficial
man sees the spirit of God
only in the miracle that rends the
rock of the tomb into fragments,
and he stretches out his hand to
grasp the miracle; but his hand remains
empty. The Christian soul

Thou tcllst me, brother, that
thou canst not bclicvo in the Easter
message. Thou dost not astonish
me beyond measure. Didst thou
sec the Christ die? And those who,
like Him, die for love, of others?
Hast thou felt the greatness of those
vanquished for God, for justice?
Hast thou wished to be able to die
like them? If these things are unknown
to thee, how canst thou discorn
tho Easter message? Thou
hast not the eyes to bear that light.

the Risen, but the Crucified One!
It is from His dead eyes that the
eternal dawn of Easter is kindled.
To die as he died, to die with Him,
is to spell the unknown Verb of the
true life. There is no other school
to liberate men from the hideous
chains of all their slaveries, and
from the most awful of all?their
slavery to death. There is no other
school that does this but the school
of the Cross.

supernatural daylight; Good Friday
the night of anguish, from whose
bosom the cry arises on the air, i
"My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?"
But do not misapprehend?this
light comes from that night. There,
in the thick darkness, opens the
door into the "kingdom that cometh
not with observation."
It is Thou, O Christ! It is Thy
spirit which is the Resurrection and
the Life! Have pity upon us who
are children in faith! Thou Who
hast trod the dust of our earth!
Thou Who hast passed through our
twilights? Thou Who hast lain with
us in the tomb, that the tomb might
be less dark! Holy Victim of j
Calvary! Man of Sorrows! May '
the Father Who sent Thee reveal
Thee to our eyes. May our souls
across our humble religious symbols
be granted a glimpse of Thine ineffable
grandeur.
Come and tell us words of life, :
Thou Who art life eternal!
Scund the awakening in our tor- '

A Bad Runaway.
Wednesday when the 11:37 train
came down, Mr. Fred Barfield who
hauls the express freight front the
depot to the express oflicc, had his
wagon at the depot, his horse became
frightened by the train and
11 ? 1 i '
iuii . ilu tumcu across inc i
railroad track and up Main street, (
came near running into l)r. Gulp's |
buggy which was standing in front i
of Itiee Drug store, going on up
Main street he ran into Berry '
Thomas'dray wagon, jumping over i
Thomas' horse and broke the shafts (
of Thomas' wagon, then ran up |
Main street, and ran into Dr. Tor- i
rcncc's buggy strnding in front of
Duke Drug store, broke the hind '
wheels of Dr. Torrencc's buggy and (
otherwise injured the buggy. The j
horse was very much frightened, |
when he got his forefeet tangled in i
the spokes of Dr. Torrence's buggy
he fell. There were several severe 1
cuts on the body and legs of the
horse.
The dray wagons should not l)e ~
allowed to line up on Main street,
as there might be a terrible run- ^
away?in case all the dray horses ^
should get frightened by a horse wj
running away. There is no telling
how much damage or loss of life ar
might result from a general stampede
of dray horses on the street at
the same time. The express man f0
should not drive a horse that is ^
afraid of the cars. ^

and let us reason together sayeth
the Lord, and though your sins be
as scarlet they shall be white as
snow, and though they be red like
crimson they shall he as wool. This
is the testimony of the Lord which
is sure, making wise the simple.
Doth not wisdom cry and understanding
put forth her voice, unto
you, O men, I call: and my voice
is to the sons of man! Turn ye, O
turn ye, for why will ye die?
Jesus, the life, the truth, the way,
That leads srom earth to endless
. dfty;
Rids all to love and follow Him,
Nor longer dwell in ranks of sin.
He made the grandest sacrifice,
That all the human race might rise,
Kscape the death that never dies,
And reach a home licyond the skies.
Baptized hy John in Jordan's wave,
The whole Godhead their sanction
gave;
The Spirit in form of a dove,
Lighted on the Son of His love.
This is my Son, the Father cries,
The all atoning sacrifice;
Who came to hring poor man relief,
To bear his sins, and share his grief.
