Barrett Telia Why Noah Won Grace From God. A large audience was out to hear Rev. Charles F. Barrett last night at the First Methodist church. He preached a very strong sermon about "Noah Finding Grace In the Eyes of the Lord." Besides this eloquent address two beautiful duets were rendered.

All currents and drifts are hellward. To be a Christian requires strength and effort, you have to go against the tide. The people laughed at Noah, but he went on build- Ing and at last went In, and God shut him in. Listen. The God that ihut Noah in was the same God that the world out, the same God th-t saved Noah destroyed the world." Mr.

The verdict of the Jury in the case of Mrs. Anna Augur vs. Calvin Augur was read In the circuit court Friday morn- Ing. The Jury found Calvin Augur grullty and assessed the damages of Mrs. Augur at J500.

The first vote was on the proposition of guilt, and stood 11 to 1 for gulJty. It took until 9:30 to get the obstinate juror to change his rjvlnd. After the question of guilt had been settled the Jury took up the matter of damages. The first a voted on was $5,000, and the jury stood 1 to 1 in favor of giving Mrs. Augur that amount.

The amount was gradually reduced, and still the contrary juror held out, until the sum of $500 was reached, and then he voted with the others. HELPED PROSECUTION.
