JARRETTsvILLE CLEVELAND CLUB.-The
sturdy Democrats of Marshall's District have
for some time past had Cleveland club in
operation which meets twice a month. The
last regular meeting was held on Saturday
night, in the Knights of Pythias Hall, Jar
rettsville. A strong address on the tariff and
its effects upon the farming interests was de-
livered by Mr. James Baird, and speeches
were also made by Mr.. George A. Cairnes and
Mr.. Chatley. This club is a vigorous and eff
fective medium for the dissemination of in
formation with regard to the tariff and other
issues now presented to the consideration of
voters, and we hope to hear of other clubs of a
similar character being organized in every part
of Hartford county. The officers of the club are
DR.. M. /. Jarrett, President; A. s. Upton,
Secretary, and J. I. Gross, Treasurer.

FORTUNES IN FUTURES.
SEVERAL SAVANNAHIANs SAID
TOHAVR MADE BIG HAULS.

The Rise in the Price OF Cotton Phe-
nomenal--The Local Spectators on
the Lucky Bull Side This Time-A
Bay Street Man and stevedore said
to Have Cleared 100000 Each.
Another Operator Makes $4,000
and several Clerks Add From $4,000
to $4,000 to Their Savings.
The rapid rise in the cotton market since
Dot. |, has been something remarkable for
80 early in the season. Indeed the advance
in the New York option market just prior
to, and since the presidential election, has
been phenomenal in these days Of close and
conservative trading.
The trading in options In the past thirty
days was simply unparalleled. The south,
as usual, has been on the bull side of the
market, and il has been the regular thing
for the European and New York traders
to do the skinning, as they
are usually on the bear side, which is, as a
rule, a safe side to be on In speculation.
This season, however, the south is in 1t
in great shape. It. however, took a long
time for the New York traders TO realize the
fact that the crop is as short as it Wac
claimed TO be very early In the season. and
that now whoever needs cotton must pay
for it to the full value. The advance in the
price OF January options has reached 164
poi Is since October.
A few of our local spectators have not
been idle spectators. They rushed into the
furry and have in the past week come out
smiling. Bay street has been well repre-
sented on the bull side of the market, and
rumors are rife OF sundry small fortunes
having been soooped in by it's representa-
tives. One well-known factor on Bay
street who has been plunging for
q month or $50 has realized
over 100000 as the result Of his
speculations. Several clerks have carried
Off from 81, 900 10 SO, 900 profits from small

$4,000, while q well-known stevedore is in

THE COMET WON'T BURT Us.
Prof. Ashmore Has No Fears of Col.
lision Between It and the Earth.

Prof. Ashmore has No Fears of Col.
lision Between It and the Earth.
Prof. Otis Ashmore. 5avannah's astro-
nomioal authority, says that all fears AZ TO
collision between the earth and the comet
which has made its appearance directly
overhead are absurd and baseless.
If the comet is Biela's, which Mr.. Ash
more does not regard as certain by any
means, it will get very close to the earth by
noon OF Sunday. IL is headed this way at
the rate Of several thousand miles a minute
aud is scheduled to pass the same point as
the earth some time Sunday, the two bodies
passing the point only eight hours apart.
Biela's comet is very uncertain and IN
satisfactory sort OF comet, however, and
" as never known to arrive exactly on time
or TO stick closely to its path. This is why
astronomers ell over the country are hgur-
ing on what the result will be in case tue
comet happens to strike the earth. Some
hold that IL will be very disastrous Tor the
comet while others think the results will be
very dire for the earL7. Some even hold
that the earth would be swept along
in the tail of the comet while others
are inclined &c think the earth would be
knocked clear out Of its orbit and that We
would all freeze TO death. provided there
were any left alive, before the earth got
back to its regular beat.
ITOI- ASntnOre Tears none OF THESE lHiukss
He says even il the tail Of the comet should
sweep against the earth the effect would be
hardly perceptible The esrth's atmosphere
would act as a cushion, he says, to resist The
gaseous matter which largely composes the
tail of the comet. A few meteors may
strike the earth, but he doesn't think there
will be enough 20 cause any serious appre-
hension.
As the comet is headed directly toward
the earth it is impossible for scientists to
make any ca lculatiOns as to its size, length,
speed and appearance. II it was moving
across the heavens these things could be
very easily calculated. IL it is Biela's
comet, Prof Ashmors says it will pass this
way some time Sunday, and as its fail is
several hundred Thousand miles in length
aud is composed Of millions Of small meteors,
tine meteoric displays may be looked for
Monday aud Tuesday nights.
Shooting stars will be plentiful on those
nights

Justice Nsughtin committed Tom Miller
