ELD. JOHN SHOUSE, who is preaching a series of sermons at the Christian
Church, is one of Kentuck"s ablest ministers. About twelve years ago he
held a meeting in Columbia, and no divine was ever accorded a closer
bearing during his stay in our midst. His services were attended by all
denominations, and much good resulted from his preaching.

Miss. ANNIE EUBANK, of this city, desiring to be taught the art of
printing, has acceoted cases in the News office, and is learning
rapidly. Type setting is very light work, and in a few weeks she will be
a great help to us. We are glad to have her, and every thing will be
done to make her stay pleasant. She is quick and intelligent, a daughter
of Mr. R. C. and Mrs. ANN EUBANK. Whats to hinder her from making an
excellant Compostor?

Last Saturday night the death Angel visited the home of Dr. N.M.
HANCOCK, Cane Valley, and removed from the terrestial walks of life to
the celestial home above, his beloved daughter, BETTIE, aged 15 years.
She was the pride of the family and a general favorite in Cane valley.
The News extends its profoundest sympathy to the bereaved parents.
trusting that this dispensation of providence may be santified to their
good, and bind them closer to God.

He was born in Adair, County, Kentucky.
Mr. R.R. CONOVER fired upon thieves in his cornfield Monday night. From
the amount of blood discovered next morning , some person was evidently
shot.
ELD. Z.T. WILLIAMS lecture "His Travels to the Holy land," was the
occasion of a large crowd being at the Christian Church last Sunday
night. We read of interesting sites in Jerusalem and at ather places in

has been over the Country and beheld with his own eye many of the
historical places of which the Bible speaks.
