Words
Of Comfort
In these days of semi-tropical heat, which
is tiresome alike to mind and body, the
uppermost thought in the mind of every
sensible person is, "How can 1 keep
cool and comfortable ?" Life without a
sense of comfort is hardly worth living,
and with this idea in mind we present to
our readers today, two of the most com
fortable suggestions we can think of as
an offset to the two months' warm weath
er that still lies ahead of us.

On his bands was a church that needed repairs
and a aoelety that needed reconciliation, but
with friends who stand by every ptstor and the
blenslng of Almighty Uod, great work has so
far been accomplished.
The entire debt has been raM off, which work
calls for thn celebration of thi, dijs the
ihurcli has had some ncedetl repairs, all nf which
has been paid. Two new lots hue bem se
cured nn the Hound Woods plot, i mot beau

haic been wieded nut Slid workets hsic taken

John Klvldldls. mi employe nt the
Mt. Pleasant colllcty, him only been
In tho country six month", nnd knows
but llttlo about It, but he docs know
about man's duplicity. Ho lecclved u
duo bill from the initio cleik tor his
pay last week ntnountliiR to $18.50, but
when he went to obtain tho money,
ltnind that nil Unit was coming to
him was J:!4I.
lie cntilcl not undeistand why he re
ceived m little, nnd upon m.tkltiK In
cittliles It was learned th.it another
man had been to the company stote
and mdered n bill of poods .unouutlnr?
to Sl.'.Oii. The poods wete loaded on
the elellNcty wacroti and hauled up to

In (i small shanty.
As soon as the dilver disappeared,
the Impi'isntiatnr piooureel u wheel
b.mow and hauled the Roods away.
The stiaiiRc-st p.ut of the whole UiltiR
Is that the mam whose nil mo was
used did not onler any poods, neither
docs he know who tho fellow Is that
obtained them. All ho knows Is that
he is out SlfiOil.

Assyrians in Troublo Again.
At the net teini of coutt theie will
probably be another case similar to
the one disposed of at the last tcim,
In which u dozen or moio Assyrians
will apepftr apainst each other. The

The latter Is ti ptetty widow, and
the tioublo started on July 10, when
a Rioup of her counti men wete hold
Iiir one of their pcilotllcal seaaices.
At Uint time, the muhr woman was
seated in her rpiai lets when Iheie
came down fioin tin- npattinents aboe
a riu.tntity ot beet,' which soiled her
clothing and otheiwlse despoiled her
Reneral make-up.
On Jul IS she appealed befoto Al
deiman Kellow and caused wai rants
to be Issued for the an est of Thomas
A mane, Joseph Moil, t'allm Saiz nnd
Mltimei Matiboor, ihaiglnpr them with
assault and batteiy. Tho only evi
dence adduced ut tho heating was
fioni Aniline, who admitted spilling
the bcei on the j miner woman, but
contended that It was accidental. Ho
was held In $J00 ball and the othet
thleo weie dlbchaiRed.
The oiitcoinc ot this was thut seen
uieu loiisplicd to lulu the woman's
leputatloti by alleging that the I!ev.
Peti is Asuian was guilty of liupioper
lelations with nei, and fioni the testi
mony glxon. they composed a letter
which, It is alleged, was lot w aided to
the bishop.
1'pon learning' this the pi lest had
wan ants Issued for Oeoige Nicholas,
N.ijab YotimH, Alias Mackeoul. Joseph
MhsmiikI, Thomas Amane. Keiln Saab
and Mliimcr Mutisoonr, charging them
with ctlniliial libel. Theie was no evi
dence to substantiate the chatge, nnd
the cae was dismissed.

sheet, then had liov. IVtils Asmnr
and Siilma faille, the woman, anested
on ehaipes of assault and battery and
making threats to kill him. There was
no evidence to show that the pilest
had assaulted Maii"eor, anil he was
disc lunged on that count, and held In
