This is good news to the congregation and to the many people who have been anxiously, waiting to hear of the progress of the new church. We understand that the corner stone could have been laid sooner but has been delayed on account of not being able to get a certain kind of stone for it. It was hoped to have been laid Home Coming week, when many of the old timers were here, a few of whom witnessed the laying of the cor ner stone of the old church.

L. M. Earnest, of Seattle, Wash. who acted as superintend ent of the Sunday School for several years, was present Sunday morning and by request, filled his old place. He also gave a good talk to the school, encour aging them in their work.

He is a firm believer that the new church will be built and paid for if the members will continue to work together. Mr. Earnest is one of the old-timers who wit i nessed the laying 01 the corner stone of the old church. A collection of old bibles and the names of all those contribu ting to the new church will be placed in the corner stone next Monday afternoon. Art Shockey and Wife Entertains and Mrs.

Amos Decker, wife of Sheriff Decker, late Monday proved herself a hero and perhaps saved the officers lots of trouble when she prevented R. A. Boggs, alias A. Dorsey, held on a charge of the murder of Henry Hinton at Birch Switch, from breaking jail. Mrs.

Decker was doing the house work when she heard a noise in the jail. She quietly slipped to the partition and raised a slide door and peeped in. Boggs had torn up an old broom which he kept in the cell to sweep out, took the wire from it and made a key with which he was attempting to pick the lock. Mrs. Decker grabbed a stove hook and entered the lobby and demanded the wire.

Boggs re fused to give it up until she threatened to open the door and take it from him, and then he reluctantly gave over the key. When Sheriff Decker returned home she told him of Boggs' at tempt to cause a jail delivery, and proceeded to make things livelv for the prisoner, who promised he would not again make an attempt to escape. The jail has been put under extra guard day and night as the sheriff believes Boggs has confederates who would help him break out if possible.
