County Court.

The April Term of the County
Court opened Tuesday morning, with
Hon. J. W. Rowell as presiding judge.
After prayer by Rev. f. c. Taylor,
the Judge pointedly and briefly
addressed the Jury as to their duties.
Thejury calendar was gone through
and of the seven cases set for trial by
Jury all were continued with the ex-
ception of that of Rosa Rock VS..
James Kelley, which was left with
the court, and that of David Barber
VS.. Will Godfrey, which was referred
to f. W. McGettrick. OF the state
cases, that of State VS.. Z. III. Adams,
charged with poisoning a we'll, the
States Attorney asked that it be
nolle prosed, for the reason that he
was unable to get a chemist in or
out of the state to analyze the
water.-With the Court. In that
of State VS.. Mary Clark, charged
with arson, the States Attorney
asked a similar disposition of the
case. Also in that oil State VS.. T. j.
Baker, charged with larceny; dismis-
sal asked for, as the prosecuting at
torney had little hopes of securing a
conviction. So ordered.
The case of State VS.. E. A. Barney,
indicted for obtaining liquor falsely,
was ordered to be tried Wednesday
morning.
Other State cases to be tried are
that of State VS.. John Athei ton, OF
Essex, for giving away liquor, and
that of State VS.. Barney Wescom, oil
Eden, for assault.
In the divorce case of George E.
White VS.. Lillian White, bill was
found for willful desertion.
There are more divorce cases to be
heard and other minor court bust
ness, but tits the g neral opinion that
the term will be of short duration.
There were several lawyers present
from out of the county, among them

Marriage and Divorce.

Prof. Wilcox has contributed to
tie Political Science Quarterly an
article of much interest on the de-
crea of marriages and the increase
of-divorces in the United States.
The Professor gives the results of in
designations of statistical data which
lac collected during the twenty years
from 1867 to 1886. 1t appears that
the average age of persons marrying
in the United States in 1867 was &c
years ana Z months ana by 1886 II
had advanced to 81 years and 2
months-a postponement ofan entire
year.
But the postponemeRt appears to
have had no effect in reducing the
number of divorces. According to
Prof. Wilcox, this country stands at
the head of the list in the number oil
dissolutions of the marriage tie.
There were in 1886 in the United
States SO divorces to 100000 in
habitants, in Switzerland ga, in
France 80, and in Germany 20. The
number of divorces in the United
States was so to 100000 inhabi-
tants in 1867. But in France di-
vorce has but recently been legalized,
SO that no fair comparison betwe, n
France and the United States in this
respect can be made. In large por-
tions OF Germany, too, divorce is
very rare, because of the religious
sentiments and social customs of the
Inhabitants. While people do not go
through the legal forms of divorce,
they separate, and no sign of it is
made in the courts or i'm the statisti-
cal records.
1t appears from these data that
the divorces as we'll as the marriages
are fewer in bad times than in peri
DDS of prosperity. From this is
drawn the conclusion that, instead
of Fastening to separate, married
people draw more closely together
in periods of distress. The statistics
show also that, while divorces in
crease, the number of marriage con-
tracts has diminished from about
three to eight in every 1000 inhabi-
tants in the last 20 years, with fuc-
tuations in good and bad bus. ness
years.-Rutland Herald

Take half q gallon Of Chiffon

Paint and add to it nearl y quart
of best linseed oil and you have a
paint that costs very little money,
and is very much better than the
majority of paints. We suggest this
as a methed of getting good deal
for a small outlay of money. You
get a thin coat of paint, but thin
coats of paint are better than thick.
Have your paints well brushed out
and applied to a dry surface, and
satisfaction is sure to follow. The
majority of mixed paints are worth
less because the manufacturer tries
to see now low cost an article he can
turn out, depending on the price
alone to sell it, Beginning in town
with every assurance of success on
account of the price, he lives to see
customers pass his agents by, till the
agent himself, thoroughly Disguised
with the loss of trade, reviles the
manufacturer whose goods he has
tried in vain to toist upon an unwill-
ing public. The Chiffon Paints sell
best in the town where they have
sold the longest.

No REASON FOR ALARM.-The Unit
ed States has more gold than Eng
land, the greatest commercial nation
of Europe. 1t has more gold than
any other nation in the world except
France. With $740,000,000 worth
of the yellow metal in the country.
according to Treasury estimates, it
is absurd to assert that the exports
of gold now going on threaten the
national prosperity. The wealth OF
the United States was never SO great
as it is to-day. The credit of the
American Republic, thanks to the
Republican craftsmanship and pa
triotism, is the best credit in exis-
tence. The United States is the only
country that ever sold it's 2 per cent
bonds at par. There is no reason
why any American citizen should be
disturbed by the clamor of alarmists.

1892. The countries which showed
the largest gains for the month were
those of the united kingdom-10,-
1919 against 6, 1914 last year. France
and the Netherlands also showed
small gains; from all other countries
there was a loss, the largest being
from Austria and Russia, each of
which fell off about one-half. The
loss for the nine months was about
twenty-eight per cent; that for
March was q little over twenty-one

the effect to check the large influx OF
