The choir of st. Paul's Church al
Lynchburg, Va, had an experience
Saturday night that will not soon bt
forgotten. At 9 o'clock the colorec
sexton saw a strange feline creep il
at the back door of the church. He
proceeded to do what any other faith
full sexton would have done. He
kicked the animal, and in the Ian

rest. 1t departed, but the odOr thai
settled around the sexton soon tolC

Didn't Want the Fiddle.


Several months ago John l.. High
barger, of Sharpsburg, constructed a
sweet-toned violin Of cedar wood from
the old John Brown place, near Har-
per's Ferry. He conceived the idea
of presenting the instrument to Queen
Victoria of England, who, he was in
formed, had spoken in high terms Of
the character of the ill-guided slave
liberator. He accordingly wrote ask
ing if the Queen would accept the gift
if he sent it. The offer was respect
fully declined in note to the follow
ing effect: "Sir Arthur Bigge is CON-
manded to thank Mr.. John L. High
barger for the kind offer contained in
his letter of July 2, but at the same
time to add that it would not be posi-
BILE for the Queen to accept violin, as
it is an invariable rule that offerings
of this nature should not be received
by her Majesty"

The Wheat Market.

Wheat has not changed much in
value since our last issue, and No. 2
red is quoted in Baltimore at 95 cents
per bushel. Receipts continue heavy,
but the foreigners are heavy buyers,
though they are getting some of their
supplies outside of this country. The
visible supply increased last week
2,430,000 bushels, but stocks are
smaller in Liverpool than they were
a week ago by 5000 bushels. Prices
declined in that market, but advanced
IN Paris and at Antwerp. There was
large buying by England on Monday,
and the news from Argentine was
favorable to holders of wheat. Corn
is quoted at SO "a 81 cents per bushel
in Baltimore. Hogs are bringing
$40 "a 4.65.
LATER Yesterday there was a de-
cline of two cents bushel in wheat,
with a dull market.

When a railroad company starts to
Law 800 or 400 miles of new 85-pound
steel rails, as the B. & o. is doing, it
costs money for ties, spikes, splice bars,
ETC., etc. The B. & o. has adopted
certain track standards, and accord
ing to the book it takes 1887 tons
of S5-pound rail for one mile of track.
Ties are laid "a inches from center to
center, making 2,640 per mile. -Four
spikes per tie calls for 80 kegs, or TO-
500 spikes, weighing 5000 pounds or
three tons. In each mile of so foot
rail are $50 complete joints, requiring
704 splice bars and l 40S bolts. The
B. & o. uses what is known as the
continuous rail joint splice bar,
which is supposed to prevent low

NOTICE OF LEVY OF SPECIAL TAX.

Whereas, Glynn county courthouse was SO
badly wrecked and damaged by wind storm
in the month of September, A. ID. 1896, so that
upon investigation by the commissioners 1t was
found unsafe to be used by the county as a
courthouse and a menace to the public safety
to remain in its unsafe and unsound condition
and to that end it was deemed eXpedient in the
discretion of the commissioners, owing to the
almost annihllation of the building, to have the
same RACED to the ground and,

upon them as such officers, it is necessary to

Resolved, That tax of forty eight per CEN

assessed and levied upon all the taxable prop

purpose of raising and creating fund to be

TOO MUCH LAW.

The Birmingham Age-Herald wisely
puts it thus:
"Thoughtful citizens In many states
are beginning to think there are two
many laws. Every year the national
ard local statesmen meet and go to
work making laws as if the salvation
of the world depended upon them.
Code follows code, only to be tinkered,
amended or destroyed by new crops of
legislators. Overworked supreme
courts flash their guesses into print
from day to day. but the tangle grows
worse all the time. 1t would be a
blessing to the country to rock along
for at least ten years without a single
new statute"

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about an attrac-
tive woman is her wOmanllness
Everybody admires womanly wO-
man. She must have health, of course,
because without it she would lose the
brightness of her eyes, the fullness of
her cheeks and her vIvacity. Real
health must mean that woman is
really woman. That she is strong
and sexual in a sexual way, as well as
IN every other. That she is capable of
performing perfectly the duties of ma
ternIty. Some are born with what is
called constitutional weakness"
Those who do not enjoy perfect health,
need only take the proper precautions
and the proper remedy to become per-
fectly we'll and strong. DR.. Pierce's
Favorte Prescription will cure any
arrangement of the distinctly femin-
Inc organism.

IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT.

Those who remember, from personal
experience, the old time yellow fever
must be forced TO the conclusion. In
studying the reports of the disease in
the last few years that great change
has come over the spirit of the ma
lady.
The fever at present prevailing
along the gulf coast is of such mild
type that old yellow fever nurses and
patients have hard time persuading
themselves that it is the same disease,
Thirty per cent. was the average
rate of mortality in the epidemics of
1853 to 1879. Seventy-two hours was
the limit of the disease. Then came
either death or slow convalescenc
After twelve days of convaIescence,
there was another danger-relapse,
which in nearly every case proved
fatal.
We do not hear of that sort of vel.
low fever now. 1t is an almost en-
tlrely dissimilar brand. In all the
infections of the past five years, the
average death rate has not been above
3 per cent. Patients linger for ten,
twelve or fifteen days before death or
cOnvalescence. If the present disease
is yellow fever, it's not the old, time
tested type.
