HYMENEAL.

Editor Star:
The social event of which Nc
Cool has been whispering for
weeks, and which transpired in the
Methodist church at one o'clock,
p m, Oct. goth, was the marriage
of Mr.. w. C. Smith to Miss Stella
Barron, the Rev. W. c. Lester
officiating.
The attendants were Miss Bessie
OBrien, of Starkville, with Mr..
Eugene Smith, brother Of the
groom, and Miss Maude Hurt, of
Sturgess, with Mr.. E. Carr, Of
| McCool; Messrs. Bruce Edwards
Of McCool, and J. Thomas Tom
linson of Sturges, acting IN the
capacity of ushers.
The ceremony was beautiful and
impressive, and was witnessed by
a large audience, composed of the
relatives and friends of the bride
and groom. The bridal party en-
tered the church and retired from
it to the step of Mendelssohn' S
beautiful wedding march, fault
lessly rendered by Mrs. Elmer A.
Smith, who played "Annie Laurie
, very softly while the ceremony
was being performed.
The bride wore an exquisite
dress of changeable silk, pink and
green, with hat to match; the

Joe Stuart Kills Jack Scott.

At Midway voting precinct in
Leake county last Tuesday, a dlt-
ficulty arose between Joe Stuart
and ack Scott resulting in the
death of the latter.
1t appears that that there had
been some family trouble between
the two men for some time, and
last Tuesday they met and Stuart
demanded retraction of some
thing Scott had said. Scott made
no reply but pulled his pistol an(
snapped it three times at Stuart
when the latter fired several time
killing Scott instantly.

Japan Not so Very Little.

Possibly it is because Japan is pet
Of the American public that she is so
frequently spoken of as 'little Japan"
Among the nations of the earth Japan
is not specially little either in area or
population. The area of Japan, 147, ,655
square miles, is larger by 27,O00 square
miles than that of the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, there are 41,O0O,000 peo-
pie that are subject to the mikado,
against 3S,O0OOOO in the United King
dom, taking latest census results in
both cases. Japan's population is larg-
er than Italy's by fully 100000,
while her area is 81 100000 miles great
er. No one speaks Of Italy as little
Italy," although she is not so populous
as Japan. Japan has nearly ten times
the area and almost twenty times the
population Of Denmark. Japan is not a
"little" country save as compared with
such unwieldy masses as the Chinese
empire or such a giant as the United
States. That she is big enough to hold
her own and more she has evinced In

excited by recent statements in regard
to the possibility of infection by means
of the telephone transmitt"r. DR..
Nash says that the common idea that
disease germs ~are deposited in the
Instrument which the speaker holds
to his mouth, and the next person who
bic but not probable. For instance,
would have to he deposited in the in
the persoL subsequently using the in
strument. This is also true Of diph-
liberia. except that the germs Of that
disease exist in the sufferers throat.
They must be transferred from there
to the il strument, and to be danger
GUS they must be inhaled while they
still have vitality. Besides, as Dr.
Nash says, persons who have diph-
liberia have not much use for the tele-
phone. There are millions of not nee
ess 'rily disease-p"od'7c ng bacteria
in the mouth of healthy person, and
it is quite possible that among these
some disease germs might find their
way into the transmitter of the tele-
phone; but the danger is not so great
as it appears. Germs, as a rule, are
not dangerous in moist state, only
when dry, just as one can inhale mud,
but when it turns to dust it is differ
ent matter. SO far as reyarls the
catching of disease, DR.. Nash does not
see as much danger in speaking into
the telephone as in the practice that
some women have of putting nicIels
in their mouth while buttoning their
gloves in a street-car, or in the daily
handling of dirty and bacteria-incrust-
ed greenbacks.

CHuRNs AND SHOE BRUs4Es.

: Among the'Electricnl Devices Shown
at the Recent Budn-Pesth Exhibi-
tiOn.
Electricity mot only rings door-bells,
lights houses and cooks food, but it
sweeps the floors, washes the dishes,
blacks boots, shoes and so on through
the whole cataloge of domestic opera
tions. If no machine has yet been in
vented to dress and to feed man
it is only because the inventors hav
been so busy that they have not got
around yet to the electric valet and
the electric knife and fork. If any
one thinks there is any eXaggeratjon
about this, says the New York World,
he ought to have attended the exhibit
tion of machines Of this sort that has
just closed at Buda-Resth, Hungary
This exhibition, which was organized
by the Hungarian Commercial Mus
cum, was great success, and pr0ba-
bly, will result in greatly increasing
the use of small electric motors for
domestic purposes. All sorts of curl
.Ous electrical machines were exhibit
ed, ir Guiding wild-working and metal
working machines, clothes-washing
machines, sewing machines ventilators
ice-making apparatus, blowers and
looms. These different machines were
run thirty-two alternating current mo-
tors and forty-tWo continuous current
motors. Thus the contest between
these two types of current which has
been waging almost since the first in
PRODUCTION of electricity may still be
said to be carried on on even terms,
the advantage being little in favor
of ths latter. One of the most inter-
esting machines exhibited was an cleo
trio cEurn, of which the motor was Of
the alternating current type. Both the
motor and the churn were fixed upon
a table. The power was transmitted
from the motor to the vertical axis of
the churn by an arrangement Of pull
leys. In the foor-poAshing brush the
motor was situated above the brush
proper rotating at high speed, and
the whole device was pushed over the
door by a long handle, like that Of q
lawn mower. The mower was fed
through q flexible conductor Of sufn
eienr length from a tap in the wall.
In the electric shoe brush a motor
in the lower part of the machine work
ed two brushes placed in front. The
upper was grooved so as to fit over the
boot, while the lower cleaned the sole.
These are only a small part of the
voI DE- rful things shown at Buda-P Pesth.
Electricians are now talking of per-
manent exhibition of the kind, to be
held In Paris and to be kept supplied
constantly with new electrical curiosi-
ties.

Virginia can claim the distinction of
having been the chief battle-ground of

historic by the armies that watered her

persisted in defense of their principles.
She has also the right to say that it was
one of her sons who was the first to
fall in the defense of what the south
believed to be her rights. And for
thirty-fve years, says Once Week, the
