return to Christian county He is an able forcible speaker and a minister of un ¬ tiring energy His departure from the work here is generally regretted His last sermon on Sunday night was de livered to a crowded house and before the congregation was dismissed the love and respect bur tne speaker was mani ¬ fested by a rising vote Eid Azbill spoke very kindly of the highesteem in which the pastor was held and the brotherly feeling all the different de ¬ nominations in the town had for him and to us it looked like perfect harmony prevailed but before dismissing Bro Wright let drop an admonition which could have been said to the officers of the Church with more propriety The deputy Sheriff of Grayson coun ty Texas who in company with Ed Staples arrested E H Phemester at Edmonton one day last week informed a News man that Phemester had been in Texas twenty years and that he was a native of Monroe county Kentucky About two months ago he disposed of mortgaged property amounting in value

in Metcalfe county where a farm had been rented When the officer reached Columbia he decided to go at once to Edmonton where lie had to wait but a short time to make the sir i rest Phemester landing in town with his family and plunder from Horse Cave He will doubtless serve a term in the penitentiary and has but little as to yhaf will become of his family So far the present month has been an unusually busy one in this office and if- we are to judge the year 1905 by the beginning we have every reason to ex pect a great increase in business over I the past Our job presses made over 700000
