gaed ava DOT again and | lay awake and
shaking in my bed a that nicbt, saying
prayers for my miunie,"
At this Umphroy Spurway would have
spoken, but my lord advocate stopped him
and the next moment. with a shrek that
rang through the Kirk Janet Mark cried
out, 1T is true It is true' | confess.
Take me away"
And SO fell forward, doubled, limp and
soft over the seat back like a twisted sheet
that is wrung out Of a washing on the
green.
Then the other woman cried out also:
My lord, my lord. say IL is not unto death
and |, too, will confess all-O, say that it is
not unto DEATH
But the gray-eyed man in the precen:or's
desk only put his pen between his teeth
and rising to his feet began to bundle up his
papers,
Take them away" he said. briefly, but
even as the soldiers s]houldcred their arms
with a sharp, unanimous movement, a
thought seemed to strike him.
First let the chief prisoner touch the
body of the murdered man" he said; ut is
legal and customary. even II there be in 1t
little efficacy"
And in a moment, hearing the words, the
sullen scorn of the young man was broken
up.
Il will not" he cried. "ye shall not force
me | will not touch my fathers body"
And he fought against his captors as they
strovo to take him up to where the body lay.
1t took four strong men to bring him to the
place, fighting every inch like a wildcat, his
face like no face | have ever seen, distorted
out Of recognition with passion and anger.

he cried.
Sir James Dalrymple stood grimly, watch
ing, almost with a smile on his thin lips.
at is enough he said; his behavior
speaks more loudly of his guilt than if blood
had flowed from forty wounds at his touch.
Take him away"
The guard FLASHED out with their prison,
ers. In five ticks of the clock the little kirk
was empty of all save the dead body Of
my grandfather, which at last was to be
laid to its final rest without further dis
turhance. ! could hear the crying of the
women as Janet Mark tried to look back to
where, on the highest part of the kirk brae,
Ur.phray Spurway stood with little Anna
Mark holding tightly to his hand. And |
could see the figure of Philip Stansfeld
taller than any of the guards by a head, cut
black against the Frightening sky or morn.
And little Anna Mark had gotten over her
fears and now smiled down at the advocate.
at is pretty, so ~pretty!" she said. See
the coats of the soldiers-red, just like mine.
And look at the sparkling Of their swords
bonny, bonny!"
And she waved her hand %prettily. as a
child does to a pageant that passes below
on the street with music and banners, while
the soldiers marched her mother out of her
sight.
But l think it brought the water to the
eyes of all that saw it, to watch the mother
locking back and ever back at her child
and the innocent BARN smiling and Decking
ana waving her little hand.
And even as we stood so the sun rose and
it was the new day.

Smallest Current Coin.

In Europe the smallest coin now current
and the one having the least value is the
Greek leptCn. The lepton is, according to
the decimal monetary system, current in all
belonging to the Latin union. Some
idea of this valuable little disk of copper
may be gathered from the fact that the lep-
ten is the one-hundredth part of a drachma.
The Greek dracEcna usually passes for the
same value that a franc piece does; that is,
it is about equal to 20 cents of our money.

you for your uniform kindness and for
the many favors you have extended to

tally while rehearsing for "The Spins
tiers Convention" which they felt COM
PEELED to carry through under most
trying circumstances. They wish also
through the medium of your valued pa
per, to express their appreciation of
the zeal and patience of each particle
pant in the play which made it possible
for the committee, under many draw
backs and unforeseen dicffiulties, Ito
push their work on to success. To the
public they return their grateful ac-
acknowledgements for patronage and for

CASH SYSTEM.

Last year we only collected 1893
from our. 1850 subscribers lberton
Star. The Star then concludes to
adopt the cash system on the first of
December and drop delinquents. This
is the only sensible business course.
The sos subscribers are the ones that
kept the Star alive, while the other
non-payers got the benefit, which was
unfair to them. No paper should try
to build up a large subscription list
simply for the sake of claiming large
list. The Journal has a large list but
they are cash paying subscribers. We
stop papers after the expiration of two
weeks after their time is out. Our
subscribers have learned that this is
cur way of doing business, and conse-
quently they have become educated to
pay, as much so as buying railroad
ticket.

BIG DIVIDEND.

The Crown Cotton mills of Dalton,
Gas, at the annual meetingof the stock
holders the Goth inst, declared divi-
dend OF SO per cent, SO per cent in
stock and 10 per cent. in cash This
beats the worlds record in cotton mill
dividends. The company will at once
build another 100000 cotton mill at
Dalton. Last year the company de-
clared "A dividend of 40 per cent.
The above shows what a cotton mill
has done and what can be done. There
is no question of the above facts. They
are record breakers. Marietta is Just
as good point for cotton factory as
Dalton, and if some enterprising gen.
tlemen will put their heads and money
together and build a cotton factory
here, they can make money. One fac
tory will bring another and thus the
town will grow and trade increase.
We have Jagged in this matter long
enough. Let us do something.

IN EVERY HOME.

The newspaper is a visitor in every
home. 1t takes up its abode in every
household. The wife reads it; the
husband reads it; and the little ones
learn their b c's from the big letters
Of the advertisements in it The names
of the advertisers in our paper thus
become household words. People trade
with those they know, or with those
names they are familiar. But not only
are the advertisers thus benefited,
but by showing to the world the bust
ness that is carried on, the city in
which they live is also benefited.

so STRANGE.

1t is so strange that man who has a
farm, making money, doing well, will
sell it under its real value, almost give
his stock, cattle and household goods
away, to go to Texas and commence
life over, having to begin at the stump,
living so economically that he and his
family at times suffer for want of the
necessaries Of life. But such is life and
such is the way of discomfort
ment. Say, friend. if you are doing
we'll and making living for your fam
ly, be content. "a rolling stone gath
ers no moss"

DON'T FORGET.

Never forget that women are made
out of girls and that men are made out
of boys; that if you are worthless
girl you will be worthless woman,
and if you are worthless boy you will
be worthless man; that the best edu-
Gated men and women once did not
know "a. B. CT; that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them; that the efforts spent
in making others happy will in some
way add to your own happiness; that a
life of usefulness and .helpfulness is
worth many times more than life of
pleasure.

WHITE PRIMARY.

PROSPERITY or i f0WNs

The prosperity ofa town, village Or
city is not guided 6y the wealth OF its
inhabitants, but by the uniformity
with which they pull together when
any important duty is to be accom-
plished. A man with a thousand dol
lars at his command, and an interest
in the welfare of his town at heart, can
do more for the building and improve
ment of it than millionaire who locks
up his capital and snaps his finger at
home progress.
Citizens all should feel like they have
mutual interest in the success of our
town, and cooperate in every good
enterprise. No one can prosper within
himself, but depends largely upon the
help and patronage of others. Let all
our Marietta people stand shoulder to
shoulder in all matters that will ad-
vince the common veal.

THE REMEDY.

Love is the burden of all natures
odes. The song of the birds is an hy-
meneal. The marriage of the flowers
spots the meadows and fringes the
hedges with pearls and diamonds. In
deep water, in the high air, in woods
and pastures, and the bowels of the
earth, this is the employment and con-
dition of things. Therefore, it is not
surprising that certain Marietta cou-
pie manifest their love for one another
so oblivious of all surroundings that
they become the observed of all observ-
ers. There is one remedy--get mar
ried

That Common Trouble. Acid
Dyspepsia or Sour Sto mach.
Now Recognized as Cause Of Serious
disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form OF
indigestion resulting from fermentation
or the food. The stomach being too
weak to digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning
taste in the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic and be-
ing an every day occurrence Is given
but little attention Because dyspepsia
is not Immediately fatal, many people
do nothing for the trouble
Within a recent period remedy mas
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles 1t is
known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as radical cure for every form
Of dyspepsia.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for so cents per package.
1t is prepared by the f. A. Stuart Co.,

ana effectually restores vigorous d.
geston, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion strengthens
the stomach, improves the appetite and

NINETEEN SHOWS THIS WINTER


The first snow storm of the winter
came on the oath of November, and it
was then predicted that there would be
twenty-four snow storms before spring,
might come true, for, according to an
account taken by a local person, the
storm of Tuesday was the nineteenth.
Some record has been kept by the same
person of the severity Of the storms and
but three could be called small. y None
was counted that was mere furry,
and only those were set down which
left decided covering on the ground.

pletely hidden the ground and all know

In AND ABOUT THE COURTS
II NUMBER OF INTERESTING SU-
PREME COURT DECISIONS.

Suit for $4,000 Damages -Hamden
VIII Case-A Salvage Claim Settled
Many Other Court Notes.
The supreme court yesterday deliver
ed more decisions of much interest.
In the case Of the state VS.. Gertrude
A Vaughan, the appeal is dismissed
on the point raised by the supreme
court itself, that it must refuse to pass
on the question until Judgment is en-
tered in the superior court. Miss
Vaughan, it will be remembered. was
convicted on three counts, but was not
sentenced. The opinion is by Justice
Hamersley.
In the appeal of Henry S. Johnson
from probate Judge Cleaveland hav-
ing refused to approve the arrange
ment made with the heirs of Harold ST..
Clair Johnson by the CONSERVATION of
Mrs Harry Leigh, on the ground that
he could not approve such contract,
the supreme court advises the superior
court that it has power to approve the
contract. This overrides the ruling of
Judge Cleaveland.
Error is found in the appeal of Will
bur c. Brown, administrator of the
Howard H. Hanscom estate VS.. Char
lotte B. Butler, flance of the deceased,
who claimed -siXty-fourth of the
schooner H. H. Hanscom, which since
the appeal was taken, was lost at sea.
New trial is granted.
In the case of John Macedonian VS..
Thomas Curren, administrator. no err
ror; opinion by Chief Justice Andrews.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad wins in appeal of the
case against the Fair Haven and West
vile railroad, involving the question of
additional servitude and right of way
at Long wharf. The supreme court dis
misses the appeal as premature; opin-
ion by Justice Torrance.
Edwin l.. Bennett VS.. Frank l..
Lathrop, no error; opinion by Justice
Hall.
William Brennan vs. Berlin Iron
Bridge Co., a Waterbury case, error;
Judgment set aside and case remand
ed.
Caleb T. Merwin VS.. Andrew B. Nor
