The following curious sentence we came
across few days ago:. "Sator, arepo,
tenet, opera, rotas." It has these .pecu,,
liarities: First, it spells backwards and
forwards the same; second, the first let
ter of each word spells the first word |;
third, the second letter Of each word
spells the second word, and so with the
third, fourth and fifth !; fourth, the last
letters, read backwards, spells the first
word, and so on throughout; fifth, there
are Just as many letters in each word
as there are " crds.
We have had good rains and things have
livened up. The stands of corn are re-
ported very fair. The moles, however,
are committing some depredations:: The
prospect for q good wheat crop is fatter-
ing. It has taken on new life since the
rain, and with few exceptions is looking
fine. Peaches, plums, cherries. black
berries, &C., promises an abundant yield,
and will come in. due time to supplement-
our diet account, and be beneficial IN
many respects.
Mrs. J. T. McCown Is ahead, so far as

We have nothing very new in our
midst except runaway marriage on last
Sunday morning. The irate father, when
he found his daughter absent suspicioned
what was up, and started out to hunt her.
He met the newly married couple walk

they had been so recently united. He
ordered his daughter homo, to which she
obediently went, while the groom went
on his way alone, a sadder if not wiser
man.

prevented the frost from falling, and kill

taught by Misses Ellen Tribble and Ida
Burts, will picnic on Broadmouth Creek,
about a half mile froc, the Church, on
Saturday, 29th inst. We extend to all a
cordial invitation to attend.
Quite good congregation assem- bled
at Broadmouth Church last Saturday to
attend to the ordination of three deacons
whom the Church had elected on the
fourth Saturday preceding. The deacons
of Big Creek, Turkey Creek and Honea
Path Churches had been invited, but
only two from each of the last named
were present. Rev. r. j. Williams, hav-
ing been invited, preached an excellent
sermon appropriate to the occasion:
There was also large congregation out
Burts, preached an able sermon, his
theme being the "Crucifixion of Christ"
After the sermon the solemn ordinance

Mrs. Mary Stevenson, the beloved wife
of Mr.. Robert Stevenson, died at her
home oear this city last Saturday night.
She was ill only few days, and the an
nouncement of her death was great
shock to many of her friends and ac-
quaintances. Mrs. Stevenson was in the
53rd year of her age. and was most esti-
mable woman. She had long been faith.
full member of the A. R. P. Church, and
when death came she was prepared to en-
ter into eternity. Her remains were in
tered in the Concord Churchyard on Sum-
day afternoon, Rev. DR.. Frierson conduct.

memory have many sympathizers in their
bereavement.

razor which they are now Offering to the
public. The firm has very kindly pre-
sented Us one of these razors, for which
we return our best thanks, and as we
have given it a trial we know whereof we
speak when we gay that better razor has
never been made. 1t is light and durable
and has many other advantages, and then,
too, it will never need honing. A good
razor is necessary article il any gentle
mans room. Read what Cunningham d
Humphreys have to say in their new ad'
,vertisement, and then be sure to call and
see this razor. They will show you It's
advantages with pleasure.
We visited our neighbor town, Abbe-
VILE, last Saturday and Sunday, and dur.
Ing our stay was the guest Of our clever
brother journalist, Mr.. Hugh Wilson, Of
the Press and Banner. To say that our
visit was most enjoyable one mildly ex-
presses it. To a newspaper man it is
worth travelling hundred miles any time
to hear Bro. " ilson talk few hours on
journalism, Tor we can always get some
information from his long experience.
Abbeville seems to be arousing from her
long sleep and taking on new life. Work
has commenced on the railroad shops
which have recently been located there,
aud improvements can be noticed in near
ly every section of the town. There are
number of Anderson boys now located in
Abbeville, and they are all doing we'll.
Among them is Mr.. Chas. D. Brown, the

recently purchased a lot and is now erect
ing modern dwelling house on promi-
nent street.

Caution.

MR.. EDITOR: Ny attention has just
been called to the fact that several men
in this city, who are opposed to the es-
tablishment of Dispensary, have sign
ed the application of men for Dispenser
on the false ideat that the signing of these
applications was not an application for
the establishment of Dispensary.
Be not deceived. The signing Of these
applications is the signing for the estab-
lishment of a Dispensary, for without a
Dispenser there can be no Dispensary.
II you ere opposed to tt1so3nsoa the Dispensary
one gets on his petition "a majority Of
the freehold voters of the city," he may
be given "permit" to dispense liquors,
and thus the Dispensary is established.
Don't sign anybody's petition or appli-
cation unless you want Dispensary es-
tablished. N. d.

- Speaking for Abbeville County, the
Press and Banner says: "This County
certainly is a prohibition County, if the
recent primary election means anything,
and it seems to us that Prohibitionists,
on principle, should not sign petitions
for the establishment Of County Dispen-
saries."
= There appears to be something in
the climate OF Kansas conducive to mat
rimonial differences. AS nearly as can
be ascertaiued there are 5000 divorces
granted annually in the State. 1t is the
exception, when divorce asked for is
not granted. For the April term of
court in Ieavenworth County there ap-
pear fort5-nine divorce cases, and in
Shawnee County thirty-six. The Pro-
bate Judge in Shawnee County shows re-
cords to prove that he has granted 12l Ii
censes to wed during the months of jan
uary, February and March, the period
covered by the applications made for di-
vorces. In Leavenworth the licenses
granted were fewer in number than in
Shawnee County, while the applications
for divorce were many more. These
two counties are but samples of the
State. there being relatively the same
number Of divorces and marriages.
