Mr.. H. M. Warner has recently
opened q cigar mandatory at lola,
and we understand II nearly-seady to
take out orders torgo0ds. From sam
pies of 6i&w0rk which we have tested
we arc convinced that he can make
good enough cigars for anybody, and
we want to see his business grow. We
believe that he should have the entire
trade Of lola to commence with and
every dealer in cigars should purchase
his goods. No lola man will smoke
anything but an lola cigar hereafter
and as soon as the stock now in town is
exhausted, Mr.. v. should be aided In
every way. Support home men every
time.

A sad accident occurred last Tues
day about ten O'Clock on>fhe new rail-

work. Charley Brown, . boy about
seventeen yeap6 old, and q son Of John
BROWN went out with the men on the

tempting to get on the iron car while
it WAS il motion, was caught by the
wheels and thrown to the ground, the
wheels passing over the side of one Of
his legs, MASKING the flesh INTO jelly
and making horrible wopnG. The
men working on the road gave him
all the attention possible, binding his
leg to stop bleeding from the artery
and bringing him to town as soon as
possible. Medical aid was called as
soon as he reached town, but the shock
to his system was SO great that ali the
stimulants that could be administered
failed to revive him in the least, and
in short time he died, apparently
without pain.

Whereas, the experience Of the

A New Comet.

ROCHESTER, November 17.--At
eleven o'clock last evening Director
Lewis Swift, of the Warner obser-.
vatory, discovered the seventh comit
Of the year in the constellation of
Cassiopia, in line between Polaris
and the great bluster in Perseus, a
trife nearer Polaris. It is nearly
round and faint; has a slight central
condensation, but no tail Is yet Wis
ible. Its right ascension is one hour
and fifty minutes, declination II, and
its motion slow and westward. The
estimated diameter is about four min.
utes. As the comet of 1912 is antici-
pated from this quarter, it may be
the Great Potts comet.
Prof. Swift will visit Egypt in Nay,
1882, to observe the total eclips OF
the sun, and verify his celebrated
discovery of a sutramer curial planet
in 1878, which has been 80 much
disputed by astronomers.

of fye-four of them for the differ

ing each are appropriate emblems for
every month in the year, and in each

figure of great dignity. The mid

most striking of all, as in the back

FEW Presidents have furnished
employment for SO long time to
one class of persons as President
Arthur. We mean the guessers.
Before President Garfield died they
commenced telling who his successor
would select as his Cabinet advisers.
And from the day he took the official
oath down to the present they have
kept on telling. There is scarcely &
prominent Republican in any State
in the Union whose name h S
not been mention by tLese Cabi-
net makers. None of their pre-
dictions have beed fulfilled but that
does not appear to discourage them
in the least. The President is reti-
cent and keeps his own counsel,
listens well but acts slowly. When
he gets ready he Will evidently re-
verse his cabinet to suit himself,
and when it is done, the guessers
themselves will probably be sur
prised.

BENTON AND FOOTE.

happened to be IN the Senate ON
April II, just before the memorable
fracas between Foote, Of Mississippi,
and Col. Benton. They had had an un-
friendly encounter not long before, and
it was well understood that Benton had
made up his mind that Foote should not
henceforward name him or allude to him
in debate. Foote was on the aoor, and,
in speaking of the late "Southeyn Ad-
Dress" referred to Benton in terms
which everybody understood. In an
indirect way he became more and more
personal as he proceeded. Col. Benton
finally rose from his seat with every ap-
pearance of intense passion, and, with
quick pace, moved toward Foote, who
was addressing the Senate from his
desk in the main aisle. The Vice Presi-
dent demanded "order," and several
Senators tried to hold Benton back but
he broke loose from his keepers, and
was moving rapidly upon his foe. When
he saw Benton nearing him, Foote
sprang into the main aisle and retreated
toward the Vice President, presenting
a pistol as he fed, or, as he afterward
expressed it, as he advanced back
ward" In the meantime Benton had
been SO obstructed by the Sereeant-at-
Arms and others that Foote, If disposed
to shoot, could not have done so with
out firing through the crowd. But Ben
ton, with several Senators hanging to
him, now proceeded round the lobby so
as to meet Foote at the opposite side OF
the chamber. Tearing himself away
from those who sought to hold him, and
throwing open his bosom, he said: '.Let
him shoot me! The cowardly assassin
hos come here to shoot me let him shoot
me, if he dares! / never carry arms,
and he knows ii let the assassin fire I"
He was an embodied fury, and ragged
and raved, the helpless victim of his
passions. had never seen such an up
roar in Legislative body; but the Ser
geant-at-Arms al last restored order,
when Mr.. Clay suggested that both par
ties should voluntarily enter into bonds
to keep the peace upon which Benton
instantly rose, and said: "In rot in
Jail, sir, before l will do it. No, sir |!
I'll rot in Jail first; Til rot, sir T. and he
poured forth fresh torrent of bitter
words upon the man who was then so
we'll known throughout the Northern
States as "Hangman Foote. ."-George
W. Julian, Of Indiana.
