prosecuting triune business, to wit: the
sole right to do a telephone business for
nine years in the United States of Vene-
zuela, and the additional right to conduct
an electric light and paper manufacturing
business for the period of twenty-five years;
and all these concessions are made by the
government of Venezuela for the full periods
specified-free to taxation. The company

We have received the August number
of the Parish Cleaner, published at Cbesa-
peake City by Rev. Jacob Miller 1t is
readable paper of 16 pages and contains,
besides much good religious and other mat
ter of general interest, number of good
local points. This deserving paper is in
need of financial aid and as it only costs
fifty cents for years subscription should
have a large circulation. The editor makes
the following appeal which we hope will be
needed: Will not our friends help us by
obtaining subscribers? Ii would be pity
to have such.a useful and cheap paper sus.
pended for want of financial aid. There are
scholars in the Sunday School to whom we
would like to give copies monthly, as we'll
AS persons of limited means who need a
church paper. We get little more than half
enough to detray the cost. Who will aid
the Cleaner by ordering copies tor free dis
tribution?

With stomach disordered-was sick unto

relief could have been found i'll DIR.

to keep out of the ladies waiting room and
with her children stayed back of the depot.
She still, however, used very offensive lam
guage which could be heard in the depot
and as it was also feared that she would
injure her young baby the sheriff was sent
for. Deputy Sheriff G. II. johnson took
her to Jail in the Howard House hack which
