(Al hr tu Journal.)
Aiiiieral Bluff, G i., Sept. Id. —"
While his wife, with their child in
her arms, heroically soVight to drag
tier husband from out of the range
of umliuslmr;-.’ buileis, Alalt Hughs,
a well known citizen of Rock Creek
district, was shot to death, as hi
lay outside of his home’s door, by
parties unknown to the officers,
according to the information wliicti
oae reached here.
Not content the assassination of
Hughes, the ambushers crushed in
the head o’ his child with guns,
vh .'ti they struck at Airs Hughes, I
who was battling for her husband's |
dfe. Tue child is not expected to!
live.
The ambushvrs made their es-|
cape, after threatening death of I
Mrs Huglies if she made any re !
part of her husb.iiil 's death. The
woman, who is prostrated by the:
tragedy, claims to Lave tecogniz-i
ed members of the party, but is a-j
i fraid to give any information,
j Sheriff Jenkins and a large ppsse
| have been at the Hughes home
since the killing and are endeav
oring to capture the ambushers. i
The oulv reason that can be es-‘
signed for the killingof Hughes is'
that he was believed to have been j
responsible for aeiivili; s rtve-'
nue officers who recently cotflsca
cated a nutjiber cf illicit stdis in
| ibis section.

i
Alission Messenger;
1 I have been connected with
! church worn for many years, and
- am not tired of it. Jesus said;
■•My fattier worketh hitherto and
1 work.” Hence I rise early on
J the Sabbath morning, ofttitU'.'s as
day is beginning to dawn. Istaud
1 at my eastern w.'iidow and view
the horizm, see the beautiful tints
made by the lingers of God. 1 cx
■ claim: “What is man that thou
! art mindful of him.”
' Then suddenly I get busy, my
1 feet move with rapidity, breakfast
J is prepared and house set in order.
Next comes preparation fur
' church. At ’J o’clock, as their
1 Leader, I meet with a Sunbeam
Band of seventy members. Then,
at W o’clock teach a Sunday-school
r class: attend preaching at 11
1 o’clock, teach a Sunday School
class at Alethoilist church in the
afternoon: attend prayer services
at 7:30 p. m. • Am also Secretary
! ot W. AL. S.
* 0, these busy Sundays! They
’ are “red letter days.” What a
1 sweet privilege and joy to the toil
-1 ers who d light themselves in the
"business of the king!” Though
we may sow in tears, after awhile
wo shall reap in joy.
As I meet the precious children
Sunday after Sunday, look into
their bright faces realizing that
they are soon to till the places of
us older ones, and am made to feel
the great responsibility that sests
upon me, 1 quietly ask myself;
"Am 1 doing my whole duty’? Am
I’?” Then 1 remember that Jesus
is the great Leader, and that when
I have done my best, He will do
the rest —Mrs A. T. Park, Center
