Atuxti, Gi. Jan. 11.—Two of Mr.
D* e v » church member* will fight it out
in the court*.
Th«» morning T. M. Cowan wu ar-
rested for libel on a warrant sworn oat
Mrs. Lizzie Flournoy. Both are mem
bers of the Seventh Baptist cli arch, of
whlofa I>sle has been pa»tor.
On January 6th, Mr. Cowan publi-h-
ed a card in the Journal, giving tbe
*<«n*es of those who voted to turn Dale
out.
.tinong those was the name of Mrs.
Flournoy.' Cowan then goes on to
state in hit card that the “seven voting
for Dale’s dismissal a/e noted for ab-
' aence . from public worship or church
meltings of any kiud save conferences,
while the six who voted against dismis
sion were regular attendants and lib
eral contributors.”
The card winds up as follows:
“Deacon Smith did not threaten to
take his letter if Dale was dismissed, and
none of thft letters were called for on
that account, but because of the un
christian spirit and quarrelsome dispo
sition #o long ®<>nife«ted by the clique
represented by the seven.”
It is (his card that Mrs. Flournoy al
leges is libellous.

wai a sensational arrest this afternoon
Charles S. Abner, of Augusta; and

made to confront the angry husband of
the latter.
Fernandez Copeland, generally call

ago in Augusta, and is the father of one
child, a liule boy of six. llis wife,
Emily, has ulways appeared to be hap

Charles S; Abher, who is himself a
married man, and the father of one
child, became acquainted with Cope
land and frequently visited his house.
On December 21st last, when Cope-
laud returned borne late in the after

his wife gone and later learned that she
bad run away with Abner.
The deserted husband at once began
to search for the couple, and yesterday
located them in Atlanta.
This morning the police began to
work on the case and in a few hours
Abner and Mrs, Copeland were under
arrest.
Copeland says he bears no illfeeling
for his wife, but will prosecute the des

Abner reftiscs to talk, and Mrs. Cope
land appeared to be-too nervous to

“SHE SIGHTED HIM.”
And the Result Wes The Boy Wes Al-
u most Killed.;,*,
A shooting affair which came near
suiting fatally, oqpnred last Sunday near
tlie residence of Mrs. T. 8. Schell, on the
Union Poiut road.
On a place belonging to Mr. C. A. Da
vis, just off the Georgia railroad there
lives a negro man named Joe Foster. He
has a boy about fifteen years old, and this
boj came near being killed on last Sunday.
On an adjoining place lives a nerro girl
about eighteen years old, named Amanda
Davis, and “was this girl who did the
shooting.
On Sunday about noon the boy c-une in
front ot Amanda’s home, and pulling out
an old pistol, asked her where her gun
was. The girl replied that it was in the
house but that she would “fetch it."
The boy insisted that she should bring
it, and the grl went into the house and
quickly retained with an"old gun. When
she came out the boy said (o Amanda :.
’’Sight me 1"
No sooner had be Mid this than the girl
raised the gnn, look deliberate aim and
pulled the trigger. There was a deafening
report and the boy fell,, to the ground,
with the light side of his head almost torn
away by the load ot shot. Bis right eye
was shot almost entirely out, and a big
bole was put in the side of his bead. He
was carr.ed to the home ot bis father and
physician* sent tor. Though the wonnd
was a.atrious one, it is thought he will re
cover.
The gir! was arrested by Sheriff English
and brought to Greensboro. A commit
ment triai was held before Justice W. G.
Durham on Monday last. There being no
evidence to show that the girl intended
to hart the boy, she was discharged from
custody.
The girl said she did not think the gnn
was loaded. It is always the empty gnn
that does the work.—Home Journal.

MUCH IN LITTLE, OR AN OCEAN IN
A CUP.
Emerson, some years ago, was slowly
walking through the immense libraiy of
the British Museum, with its more than a
m llion and a half of volumes, observing
the books as he went. Seeing on the Bltelf
Plato’s works in three volumes, he re
mark- d, “Tust work contains them all."
Of course, this must be taken with consid
erable abatement. But no can any with
out any abatement, that the most wonder
ful consideration of truth to be found in
all the literature of all tlie ages, is seen in
the words of our Lord, in Matthew xxii.,
87, 40: ‘’Thou sualt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy sou),
and with all thy ntiud. This is the flrst,
and great commandment
The second is likewise unto it, namely,
thou shalt love tby neighbor aa tbyse f.
On these two commandments nang ali
the law and the prophets ”
Notice, *tis not on the first alone, nor on
the second alone, but on the two together,
hang all the laws of the Christian life A
child can commit to memory these four
vers-s iu half an hour A man, putting
forth daily prayerful effort, is vety fortu
nate If, making constant progress, he
comes pretty near fully keeping these two
commandments in a half century—getting
nearer and nearer every day.
He will still need to constantly battle in
"the fountain filled with blood." Great
nnd fatal mistakes are someiim- s made
tight here. Oil the one band, multitude*
have left out the second great command
ment, and livid in clois’ered cells—as
though the whole of religion consisted in
acts of worship. That is nullifying the
law of love to our neighbor. On the other
hand, many lay the whole stress upon kind
deeds to our neighbors nnd entirely ignore
tlie first and greatest commandment—i. e.,
what is due to God. ’Tis as though two
perrons described tlie visible heavens; the
one omitting the sun; the other, the ntoon.
Both must be brought in to make a correct
description of the heavens. To love God
supremely, and our neiglitior as ourselves,
we Died a reconstruction of the inner man
by the Spirit of God; for whuse aid if we
usk, we sltall receive. Distinctly recog
nizing that nn attempt to keep one only of
these- commandments as though ’ta’ere the
whole of duty, is like a bird trying to fly
with only one wing. We remark that
many just aud beautiful things have been
said about a life of doing good—a life like
that of the Sj otiess One. "Happy is the-
person who has a heart at leisure from
himself, to soothe and sympathise.”
Buskin has finely said, “Vr cate children
of God in proportion a- we are in sympa
thy with thosu around us, and in propor
tion as we bear with one another.”
And again, "Consider yourself as grow
ing in grscs, as you grow io patience and
in helpfulness.” *
The following selection is appropriate:
“George W. Childs, the Pniladelphia
philanthropist, concludes an interesting
article in the current LippincoU’a with tlie
following sentiments, which he exempli
fied during bis very useful life.
If asked what, as the result of my expe
rience, is the greatest pleasure in life, I
Should say doing good to others. Not a
strikingly original remark', perhaps; but
seemingly the most difficult thing in the
world is to fie prosperous and generous at
the same time. During tlie war, I asked a
very rich man to contribute some- money
to a certain relief fund. He shook his
head. "Childs,” he said, “1 can’t give you
anything. I have worked too hard for my
money." Tbatisjnst it. Being generous
grows on one, just as being mean does.
The disposition to give and be kiud to
others, should be inculcated and fostered
in children. It seems to me that is the way
to improve the world, and make happy
the people who are in it.”
SPIRITUAL GIFTS.
We ought, if rightly minded, to rejoice
io the exuberauce and variety of the spir
itual gifts possessed by Christians, just as
we delight in the rich variety ot nature.or
the Word of God. There are many lines
of thought ot religion, many lorms which
practical aud personal piety- takes, al
though, of coarse, they are all animated
by the same essential principles. -St. John
and 8t Paul are both equally devoted to
the cause and person of our Lord,’ yet no
two men ever existed who manifested this
devotion in shapes more different. Both
these members held to the Head by a liv
ing anion, but they discharged for the
Head functions altogether different- Let
us not conceive of all genuine religion as
moving in one groove ot ft-e’ing and prac
tice, and refuse to acknowledge any mail
m a Christian because he does not run up
on our own particular groove. It seems
to be God’s plan aud purpose that eacb
particular Christian should exhibit, in the
peculiarity of his c ; rcumstsnces, educa
tion, moral temperament, and menial en
dowments, anew specimen of . redeeming
love and grace. By various discipline
here He flu and polishes each living
stone for the place which it is destined to
occupy in the spiritual t -mple; and when
all the stones are ‘made ready Hu will
build them together, each his place, and
exhibit to men and angels tbeir perfect
