Have you ever let your light shine for God at the dance? Professors, the old Bible as I understand it, teaches us to dance only in praise and honor to God. If this" is the purpose of those enjoying it I heartily endorse the meeting. Should meet oftener. If you should find that it is no place to serve God, and you cannot invite Jesus with a clear conscience to go with you, you had better seriously think on this subject. Timothy, 3rd chapter and 4th verse teaches that in the last days men will be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, therefore the places of vain amusement has the greater power to draw folks than the king doms work. Dancing might De con, sidered rood for muscular exercise. God says there is a time to all things, not for all things..

SPORT COLUMN "By COLY" MARSHALL LOSES THE SECOND GAME OF THE SEASON TO MARS HII.L In a loosely played and manv er ror game, Marshall lost to Mars Hill last Saturday on the Mars Hill ground to the tune of 8 2. This game was not lost by the loose playing of any one man; it was lost by the errors of nine men every man on the team making one or more errors. The completion of the preliminary trial of Chester King, Wiley Rice and Chester Rice, before C. M. Gage, J. P., took pplace last Saturday after noon at the court house in Marshall. As the Solicitor could not be here he had secured the services of Mr. C. B. Mashburn to represent the State. Sam Moore, whose house had been at tacked and the State's chief witness, went on the stand and swore that the three young men above named were guilty of the charges heretofore des cribed in this paper. He swore that he knew these boys at sight and his discripption of the criminal attack upon "his wfie" was most realistic, and revolting. He described how they went to his house after dark, made improper proposals to his wife in his ppresence, and when the old man and woman left the house, the boys attacked them on the out side, ravished and stripped the woman and left her, making it necessary for her to go to at neighbor's to spend the night improperly dressed. To hear his sworn testimony and have him swear that he personally knew the three boys and that the above three were the ones, made an observer feel quite sure that those three boys were headed straight for the electric chair. His attorneys, Messrs. Guy . V. Rob erts, J. Coleman Ramsey and John H. MsElroy, insisted that the witness i dentify his wife's assailants. To this the State's attorney objected. The objection was sustained until a law book was brought which seem ed to prove that it would be neces sary for Sam Moore to point out the boys. One would have thought that he would have no trouble in doing this after his sworn declarations as to how well he knew them. Up to this point, Sam Moore had made a much better witness than had been expected. His language was fairly correct and his mind clear, tie was not easily confused and it began to look as if these three boys were doomed. However, when the court finally asked him to identify the boys among others, he stood and looked them over aa-if he did not-sriah. to point them out and finally pointed out two, calling the King boy Wihy-ic and calling another boy sitting near them one of the three, -failing com pletely to identify either one of the three boys. One strange part of it was that he pointed out the same boy that his "wife" had pointed out the first day of the trial a boy who had no charge against him. While the court ruled that they had sufficient cause to hold the three boys , for trial when Sam Moore made such a fiasco in indentifying the boys, the court ruled that the boys be set at liberty. As to the party or parties who had bousrht Sam Moore's conscience ti- gainst swearing against the boys, he Mars Hill made most of their scores ! claimed the money was given him m ! tne oarK ana ne wouiu not say woo gave it to him. He claimed that the donor gave him the money because he needed it, having been not able to work. This seems to end a mysterious case, the like of which this writer has not known before nor ever expects to know again. in the first and second innings. Then Tipton, who was pitching, was taken out and "Old Reliable," "Snake" Carver was put in to stop- the grand march, which he promptly did with a few of his specials. Paul Bruce, for Mars Hill, hit the only home run of the game, kiss ing one over the fence in the 1st or 2nd inning. The Marshall team was only in a slump Saturday, and the fans and patriotic rooters of our team are still backing it to the limit.
