Dear HERLLD, we come again, before
the close of 1897, to contribute our last
batch of news for this year, and to
tender our many thanks and apprecia-
tions for the courtesy shown us during
the year now fading away into the past.
Go well old year! Adieu! Soon you

Fare-thee-well! And to you, dear HER

you with sunshine and happiness, and
may the hand of prosperity conduct
your business safely through another
year.
And to you, gentle CLEANER, may a
happy Christmas greet thee, and Il
bright New Year follow.
The young man, Mr.. Jodie Randle,
who met with the sad misfortune last
Wednesday of being knocked off the
railroad bridge while at work, is recov-
eTing under the skillful treatment of
Drs. Padgett and VOORHEES,, and it is
hoped he will soon be able to be carried
to his home at Estill Springs. His
father and brother, in company with a
numter of friends, are attending him,
and we hope he will soon recover from
MS injuries.
1t is thought that the railroad bridge
will be completed about the first of
February. But one more girder re-
mains to be placed in. The bridge
building has been IN operation all this
fall.
DR.. Forgey was telephoned for on last
Saturday to come out to Mr.. Camp
Thomas, to attend his little son, whom
they thought had swallowed about half
an ounce of laudanum. We failed to get
any further information, but hope the
little fellow is all right.

Carrie favored her pupils with nice
treat to candy before dismissal.

The city of Roswell, In the Pecos val
ley of New Mexico, is in mourning, and
CONSERVATION prevails, says the Gal
weston News. No longer do its citizens
wear the smile of peace and content
ment as Of yore. Saloons and gambling
houses are all closed and their &
pants may be seen standing about In
crowds %canvassing the recently discov-
cred phenomenon which has enveloped
this land In gloom greater than would
follow the announcement OF the millen-
nium. Three days ago a Mexican shep-
herd walked into Roswell, and, stand
ing on, the street corner with eyes d.
rected .heavenward, was making the
sign Of the cross on his breast and
murmuring ~incoherently as II praying.
Being accosted by a man passing by,
he stated that he had discovered, ten
miles west Of Roswell, a cave in which
angels were singing and playing upon
musical instruments never before heard
by him, and, feeling confident that the
world was coming to an end, he wished
to apprise the people Of the earth. that
they may prepare themselves for the
grand finale. Several men returned.
with him, and to their. utter maze
ment discovered that he spoke the
truth, for as they appeared at the
mouth of the v plainly could they
hear the enchanting chords of the
heavenly orchestra pealing forth the
familiar notes of Nearer, My God, to
Thee" They returned to Roswell with
tears in their Eyes and proclaimed that
all. Is vanity here on, earth and the
time had come for the people to aban-
don temporal affairs and prepare for
the millennium, fer the end of the

counting hundreds on hundreds of peo-
pie, have visited the musical ave the

peace and good will, of reconciliation
and of forgiveness and protestations Of

A DOg-Hunting Fox.

A. r. Dodge OF Dexter, Me-, tells this
one: "The other day. coming down
Maple street, l saw a dog strike cross
lots from Park street. Some animal
was in pursuit. At first l thought 1t
was another dog; then 1t looked like
a large cat; ultimately l saw that it
was a fox. The dog was putting in his
best ticks, yelping like mad, and the
fox was hot on his trail. With a final
~!ong-drawn howl the dog reached the
piazza OF his masters house and from
that vantage ground sat down to watch
his pursuer. The fox stationed himself
about six or eight feet away, and the
two sat cycling each other for some
time. Finally the door opened and the
dog slipped inside. Then the shed door
was cautiously opened. and by the aid
of the neighbors the fox was driven In.
to the shed and is now a captive"

81 that each n responds to the tOne
strikes c, the c sphere vibrates, and
so on through the gamut. Thus 1t
may be seen that the voice-the sounds
that II means!-become matters to be
seen rather than heard. In fact, a
person who Is totally deaf could tell.
with a little practice, just exactly what
these gas Jets told in the way OF mu-
sic. To see musical sounds is some
thing few people ever expected would
happen, but, as has often occurred
before, science has brought about the
apparently impossible. The person
whose voice Is tested with the Hallock
apparatus a always have a photo
graph taken thereof, which will show
a power exact In accordance with the
facts. The possibility of photograph
Ing the singers voice also renders 1t
possible to give Photographic certifi-
Gates of excellence. One of these days
1t is likely to become as common a
matter to see a photograph of a per-
sons voice In a newspaper as 1t is
Of his face. Thus the great singers
Of the world can give ocular evidence
Of the power OF their singing voices.
| When a new star appears in the oper-
attic world by means of the Hallock
discoveries, the public may become
thoroughly familiarized with his OF
her singing powers before they have
heard the voice. Some scientists de-
clare that this discovery Is the begin.
