The Atlanta Constitution says that nearly
1000 ''moonshiners" will have been tried
when United States Judge Newman finishes
with the criminal docket of the term of
court now in session there. For many days
past the court has been disposing of this
class of offenders at the rate of about TWEEN
ty a day, and this will continue several
weeks longer. This involves considerable
expense to the government, and as they are
generally sentenced to six months impris-
Dnment the expense does not end with their
conviction. They are frequently fined, but
almost invariably avoid payment of the
INES by taking the pauper's oath. Altogeth-

A large number Of astronomers and scien-
lists and several hundred prominent citizens
of Chicago were present at the dedication
of the Yerkes telescope at Williams bay
yesterday. Mr. Yerkes himself, donor of
the instrument, was present. Being more
of a street railroad magnate than scien-
tist it is said he speaks of the telescope as
a big tunnel and thinks it may bring some
revelations concerning the motive power of
the moon and other heavenly bodies. Not
withstandng his crude ideas on the subject
the scientists kindly permitted Mr.. Yerkes

The Baltimore Sun in commenting on the

recent death of Admiral Worden says:
1t is customary in the North to credit
Admiral Worden with victory over the Vr-
ginia in the celebrated first battle Of YES
sells of the new era, and in the South it is
customary to credit Admiral Buchanan and
Lieutenant Jones with victory over the
Monitor. 1t is matter of geography which
version most persons shall accept.
1t is a matter not of geography, but of
history, that after terrific battle the
Monitor beat off the Merrimac, or the Vir-
ginia, the Sun calls her, and compelled
her to retire, rent, battered and practically
disabled.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY,
Mrs. Mary A. Denton of Near Brouwood
Passes Away.

Mrs. Mary "A. Denton of Near Bronwood
Passes Away.
Many fond hopes were bliehted and
many loving hearts were filed with
grief and sorrow when the sad news
spread throughout the community of the
death of our dear friend, Mrs. M. A.
Denton, who, at the age of 81 years, vas
called to join the angel throng which
surrounds Gods throne. There she
happily awaits the coming of her chill
dren, grandchildren and a host of
friends and relatives, who deeply
mourn the loss of loving mother, Sis
ter and friend.
Mrs. Denton was taken i'll with pneu-
monia only few weeks ago, and all
that medical skill and loving hands
could do was to no avail. On February
0th her sweet and gentle spirit took it's
flight to happy home in heaven, where
grief and sorrow and death come no
more. She was consistent member of
the Methodist church at. Brentwood and
was a loving mother and true friend.
and will be sadly missed. She leaves
two sons, two daughters, three brothers
and one sister to mourn her loss. On
February 9th her mortal remains were
tenderly laid to rest in the family burial
ground near Bronwood, followed by a
large cOncourse of relatives and friends,
where she will sweetlY sleep until the
great resurrection morning.
Mother, rest, thy labor is done
Thy tolls are DER and life's race is run
No more days of weary care,
NO more pains to feel or bear.
No night of broken slumber now.
NO tears OF sorrow fill thy eyes:
Nor will thy kindly hand again
BE felt to give US sweet goodbyes.
Thy chair is sadly vacant now
This makes our hearts in sorrow bow
Still thy image is in our memory,
And will be through all eternity.
Farewell, dear loving mother,
Thou art gone to rest;
To be happy with the angels
And forever blest.
In the end may we meet you
On that everlasting shore,
Where, with God and the angels,
We can greet you once more.
Then, there, around Gods throne,
We shall all happy be;
And with you we can sing:
