that every Democrat in the county

The "Star Of Bethlehem" will ap.
pear in 1887. This star only makes
its appearance every 315 years. It
will appear and illuminate the heav-
en- and exceed in brilliancy even
Jupiter when in opposition to the
sun, and, therefore, nearer to the
earth and brightest. The marvellous
brilliancy of the"star Of Bethlehem"
In 1857 will surpass any of its pre-

S15 years after 1887. The star is the
same that Illuminated the heavens
at the nativity of Christ.

and the permanent seat at Charles

The town has been rather quiet
since Christmas day. Some of the
