young man to the editor the other day.

Judge Clark, who is holding court here
this week, is very strict and prompt man.
He follows strict business rules while hold
ing court, and every one having any busi-
ness with the court has to "walk the chalk
line" Whenever juror Oh witness does
not answer the roll call heavy fine is the
result of his absence. This fact was shown
here Monday by fine of $40 being placed
upon witness for not answering to his
name in the court room when called. Fort
unately for he witness he was relieved of
the fine when he informed the Judge that
he was before the grand-jury when he was
called. Judge Clark adheres to prompt
rules with everybody himself not excepted)
for it is said that he placed fine of $25
upon himself at Rockingham court last
week, for being tardy FIVE minutes one
morning. There are few Judge Clarke's in

President of the organization, next read a
brief but interesting history of the work,
ETC., that had been done by the Union dur
ing the past year. The anniversary address
was then delivered by Rev. w. c. Norman,
and a good one it was. He handled
his subject well and brought forth
arguments strong and forceful against
the great evil of intemperance. With
impressive language he referred to the infiu-
ence that might be brought forth by the
Pulpit and Press in driving the great
evil from the land. At the close of Mr..
Norman's remarks, Rev. E. P. Davis, in be-
half of the young ladies of the Union, pro-
scented the speaker with beautiful Gala
lily. Mr.. Norman, in returning thanks,
showed that he appreciated the gift highly.

A True Democrat.

Mr.. ]. A. Leak, of Francisco, farmer
and merchant paid us call this week and
tells somewhat remarkable history of him
self. On July l, 1868 he was wounded in
the left foot at Gettysburg; on July l, 1881
a mule bit him in the left knee, completely
crushing it on July 1, 1886 he lost his left
eye by blow from piece of rock, which
was sent into the eye accidentally while hoe
ing tobacco. So many unfortunate occur
rences on the same nay of the same month
is something unusual, and we believe, with
out parallel. He is Democrat as he says,
from the cradle to the grave" and believes
Stokes county will go solid for Democracy
in the next campaign. Hurrah for Democ-

Brain photo~raphio Revelations.

A writer in The New York Tribune tells the story of the appearance of mans brain under Q strong microscope that is both interesting and suggestive. In the brain matter, he says, were mo- ticed curious markings, some Geometri- cal, some sinuous, and many others that proved 10 be characters in the Ethiopic, Syriac and Phoenician languages, which the possessor of the brain, when alive, had made special study. Now for the suggestive part. Perhaps some day when a man dies we can take out his brain, spread it on a microscopic slide, and, in a peep, behold him as he really was, not as he pretended to be. Every thing his mind ever took cognizance of and formed an opinion about will be open before us like the page of a book.
 No doubt the traceries will take pecu- liar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the brains of some young men, who died young because they were good, will show markings closely resembling champagne bottles, night keys and fast horses. The tracings in the brain of more than one good bald headed deacon may assume the graceful forms of ballet girls, the sight of which made such an impression on him when alive and in the front TOW of the theatre. Shapes that closely resemble beautiful entrain and decollete dresses may be expected in the craniums of so- ciety belles called hence in the mx,st of their triumphs. In the brains of re- porters will be noticed many ghastly family and public secrets which, out of reportorial goodness of heart, never were given out to the world. And so we might continue ad infnitum, but we re- frain. This scientific investigation must not be pushed further. A key that opens a mans secrets after he is dead might not be such a hilarious discovery after all.-Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

Astrologers' s1azicnl Rings.

The ring among astrologers was favor- ite means of divining the future. It was suspended by hair in the middle of a cup known as the draining cup. Cues tions were asked and the ring tapped the sides of the goblet in answer, but as the hand of the astrologer held the hair to which the ring was fastened, perhaps there was not so much divining in this as the credulous supposed. All astrol- ogers, however, had at least seven magic rings; one for'the sun, diamond set in gold; another for the moon, Q crystal in silver; third for Mercury, a loadstone in silver; fourth for Venus, an amethyst in copper; a fifth for Mars, an emerald in iron; a sixth for Jupiter, comedian in tin; a seventh for Saturn, a turquoise in lead. Many astrologers had zodiac ring, or ring exhibiting ill its setting all the signs of the zodiac, the general effect be- ing that of calendar or old fashioned almanac. Charm rings are also very common even in later times. Henry VIII had so much confidence in ring which belonged to Thomas a Becket that he had it set as thumb ring and wore it all his hfe.-Globe-Dem

Here is story told by New Jersey justice of the peace: "A man from Pennsylvania was arrested in Gloucester for having dead deer in his possession.
 He was fined $50, which he paid, and went back to Pennsylvania. About the same time another Pennsvlvanian was caught in the same way and fined the same amount. He also paid up. In both cases the whole fine, under the law,
 went to the informant against them. knew them, and it always puzzled me how they came to seem so contented to pay their fines. We'll, sir, I have just found out. Do you know that these measly Pennsylvanians had put up job to come over here to kill our deer, and then each inform on the other, so that the fine each paid went right back into the pocket of the other, and their deer didn't cost them nt!"-Chicago News.
