signed for the Star, and asked
about the news of this section. He
remarked that, temporarily, the
Wilson Cypress Company of Pa
latka had shut down on the log

al ound in the swamp was Major
Priest. The river is very low,
and the shutdown will last a
month.
a new industry has sprung up,
which is railroad tie-cutting.
Henry Wilson of lola is the pio-
neer in this line. Much is expect
ed of it.
The contest for the Eureka
post Office is as sizzling hot as the
weather. There are three aspi-
rants for it-John Harrison, Levi

At last accounts the Eureka

KNOWLEDGE AND RELIGION

A writer in the Church Union
pertinently says that the idea
that there is some antagonism
between religion and modern
knowledge is as widely current as
ignorance itself, and is, indeed, a
part of ignorance. This general
belief is largely among those who
have no church relationship.
Would that it were confined to
them! But it is now, as it has
been through the ages, that
many church members eschew
knowledge as if it were part and
parcel Of the evil one. How slow
we are to learn the lesson that all
real knowledge aids religion in it's
conquest Of the world. Even
such man as Luther vOcifer-
ated against the Copernican as
tronomy. Time alone suffices to
draw people close enough to OBJ
serve the truth. We all remem-
Der how textual criticism was
fought at first; but how neces-
sary it appears now. Some
writer's, when the new revision of
the Bible first came out, an
nounced that it would work mis-.
chief; but how foolish such an as
Sertion as that now seems to us.
Knowledge walks hand in hand
with our religion the longer we
live and wider open our eyes, the
more clearly shall we see it.

The Leading School

Jasper Normal Institute will
begin It's seventh year September,
10, 1897. The last year has been
the most prosperous in the his
tory Of the school. The enroll
ment Of students outside of JAS
per was $50, more than most OF
the colleges of Florida had for
their total enrolment.
The students of Jasper Nor
NAL are expected to devote the
greater part of their time to in
tellectual growth. The manage
ment of the school consider life
too short and duties too pressing
to fritter away half Or more of a
students time swinging clubs,
handling a gun or kicking ball.
The demand of the age is educat-
ed brain rather than professional
athletes.
Jasper Normal offers a variety
OF courses. In every course the
work. is of a high order of excel
lence. None but good teachers
are employed. It is the ambition
of the faculty to do more for the
young men and women under
their charge than is done at any
other school in the state for stu
dents. The constant increase in
attendance tells how we'll they
have succeeded.
The health record of Jasper
Normal cannot be excelled. In
six years there has been but one
death in Jasper of persons be-
tween six and twenty-one years
of age and that one was struck
by lightning.
Normal students board with
the best private families of Jas.
per at $40 per month.
Bear in mind that Jasper Nor.
NAL is not a little village school
but a school enrolling twice as
many students every year as is
done at most Florida colleges.
The work is superior in every de.
partment; the behavior of the
students is unexcelled.
Ample buildings, good library
abundant apparatus, healthfu
surroundings, low expenses, and
superior instructions are a few Of
the many reasons why parents
should send their sons and daugh
tiers to Jasper for an education

A Strange and Curious Incident.

The home of j. II. Ellis, near Brew
ton, is the scene of strange and Gu
rious incident, giving rise to much
discussion among the neighbors near
his home. Situated on the east side
of his house is giant oak that has
stood the storms and tempests of
many years. Among its worst trials
may be mentioned that Of having its
top cut out when about half grown.
The limbs grew out again, however,
forming an excavation about three
feet in circumference. In this dc.
sirable place, lofty and high
minded hen has made her nest and has
been laying three weeks. but is now
setting in perfect satisfaction and con-
tentment. The nest is fully twenty
feet from the ound.-Brewton (Ga.

ne uaQe a sale.

He was a very small boy and very
ragged, but there was look IN his eyes
of slsrewd intelligence beyond his
years. His left hand he held behind
his back, but his right was extended,
and between two grimy fingers he held
a half-s1noked stump Of cigarette.
He had his eye on well-dressed man
who was walking jauntily along the
street swinging his cane.
"Say, mister" said the boy, gimme
match, will yer, please"
The man stopped good-naturedly and
smiled when he saw the dirty cigarette
stump. He made a pretence Of search
ing his pockets for match. and finally
said.

The boy hastily slipped the stump
into his pocket, and withdrawing his

The Lost Pocket Book,

Three years ago a Portland man
lost his pocket book that contained
$500. The last he could remember of
it was laying it upon his bed. Last
Sunday he read in a newspaper the
notice of the death of an old friend,
and this set him to thinking Of his
school days. From these remembran-
ces came a desire to look over an old
chest containing souvenirs, and in
which he thought there was picture
of his former chum. He went to the
chest, lifted the cover, and the first
thing that met his gaze was the pock.
ct book with the money intact. And
now he is puzzling his brains to re-
member how it came there.-Lewis-

Boy Eating Himself.

A most peculiar case has come under
the observation of physicians of To-
ledo, Ohio, from the neighboring vii.
lage Of Oak Harbor. The victim is
the 3-year-old son of farmer in the
vicinity, who is gradually eating him
self up. Despite all the parents and
physicians have been able to do the
child has eaten off the end Of its fin
gers until several Of these members
have had to be amputated. When its
hands are encased in mitts to prevent
its biting them, the child nibbles Of
pieces of its tongue until that organ is
now so short that it can never talk.
The habit of the child was first dis.
covered when it was about fifteen
months old, and has continually grown
worse. The physicians say the boy
has absolutely no feeling in his fingers
or tongue.
