4 Startling Confession.

ssAt the Free Methodist revival in AL
mena, Merton county, last week, -
writes correspondent of the Mail aud
Breeze. t'an amusing incident occurred.
The minister was laborinE earnestly for
the salvation of souls when a farmer
arose to tell his experience and make an
open confession Among the startling
disclosures made by the farmer was
one where he confessed that he had ap-
piled the torch to his neighber's house
last winter He also told sf destroy ring
other property and stealing stock, but
how he had reformed and was repentant.
He proceeded at once to pay 500 to the
owner Of the house he had destroyed
and in company with the minister he
called upon those he had wronged By
stealing hogs and various other plundeI
and asked forgiyeneaess.

rnE FOOTBALL GAME.

Some OF the Grand Rapids team
falling TO come Ia the morning made IL
necessary to change the hour OF the
game Thanksgiving day To p. IN.
when everyone was supposed TO be
filled with turkey and accompanying
fixin's, and feeling their best. The
Y. NJ. G. A. team has a long string OF
victories To their credit and the home
team knew they would have a hard
struggle on hand, but they certainly
had the best OF it all the way through,
1t only being lack Of about one min
ute's time on each half that prevented
Bedding from making touchdown
which would have counted FIVE points
In each half and made the score 10 to
10. AS it was neither side scored, the
visitors not coming anywhere near
scoring.
We must compliment the line men of
the home team for their excellent
work, there seemed TO be nothing to
hold them back from going through
Grand Rapids line whenever they de-
desired.
The principal part of the game was
played by the whole team, the line
holding up fine by the good work of
King who pushed the whole thing
along when he took notion and he
had good ma Y notions.
Osterhout putting in some of his old
time sprints, wifi was also good
gain for Belding. Chapman and Hall
for half backs did fire work, only
making one or two fumbles in the
whole gam"
All Bedding lacked was signal
practice and they would have scooped
the whole field. Belding is open for a
game with any High School team in
the state of its average weight.

DIVORCE LAWS.

The divorce frauds that have been
exposed in New York City are not alto
gether astonishing. Throughout the
country 1t is we'll known that there are
many evils in connection with the legal
practice in divorce proceedings. There
are thousands of cases in which DEGREES
have been granted that are of extreme
ly doubtful validity. Any kind of a de-
cree appears to answer the purpose for
those who wish to be relieved OF their
marriage obligations in order TO enter
upon new relations. The secrecy that
surrounds the trial of divorce suits un-
doubtedly facilitates fraud in many in
stances If the referee can be deceived
or if he can be induced to wink at ir-
Irregularities there is no chance that the
fraud will be discovered. The sugges-
tion has been made that special court
officer be employed TO investigate di-
yorce cases and be provided with am
pie power to disclose the facts, however
unwilling the parties might be to have
them known. This remedy, however,
has its objections and would not prove
wholly effective.
10 the opinion of men who give the
subject careful consideration, the est
thing to do is to put all divorce matters
under the jurisdiction OF the United
States courts and to pass in Congress a
divorce law uniform in all the states,
The authority OF state courts is limited,
while that OF the United States courts
covers the country. Abuses that pre-
vail under present conditions, which
ditferi n every state, would largely dis
appear under the operations OF a gen.
eral law applying TO every state and
territory. Measures may be adopted by
state legislatures that will check the di-
vorce evil, but uniform divorce law
offers the only true solution OF the prob.
lem. The revelations in the metropolis
will serve useful purpose if they
hasten a movement in this direction.
1t can not be supposed that the country
will much longer endure such practices
or continne conditions under which
they are possible.

There is considerable dissappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction manifested in
many localities concerning the result
of the recent census returns, and the
following from an exchange is but "a
sample of what is appearing in various
papers: I'VE don't believe in taking
issue with the government in time of
war, but there are some things that
Uncle Sam is likely to go astray on.
Wouldn't hurt the old gentleman =
feelings for the world aud wouldn't
think of questioning his veracity, but
he may be mistaken, particularly on
our census. The figures made public
to. day are obviously wrong. There
must be some error and the city should
set about to locate it. " 1t is of course
terribly disappointing TO the citizens
OF any city to have the census reveal
the fact that they are several hundreds
or several thousand less than they had
been in the habit OF claiming, out such
talk as that INDUCED in above is mere
buster to let themselves down easy.
The census is undoubtedly correct or
practically so in ninety nine cases out
of a hundred where such claims are
made.

1T is not surprising" remarks con
temporary THAT European countries
should seek to raisebans in the United
States when one considers the immonse
trade balances against them which the
people Of the United States have accum-
ulated. Those who imagine that loans
are sought in this country merely be-
cause money is more plentiful here
than elsewhere have not grasped the
full significance Of the movement. The
truth is that money is borrowed in this
country in order TO stop the shipment
of gold from Europe here, and as far as
possible turn the flow of the yellow
metal in the other direction. With
every possible expedient. however, the
balance OF trade continues to pile up in
our favor. Not only was the total OF ex-
ports for October the largest for any
October on record, but the ten months
of the calendar year ending with Octo-
Der has been the largest in the history
of the country"

EactsAhou cotton.

A gentleman from Wynnewood
was in the city yesterday and in
conversation with a reporter gave
the following facts from his ex-
perience this year with the round
aud square bales.
He bought 1850 pounds of seed
cotton at 3.12% cents amounting
to $55. He had it ginned by the
square bale system. paying ST. for
bagging and ties, and after the
toll was taken out he received a
bale weighing STA pounds and also
1900 pounds of seed. He sold the
cotton at 81 cents, making $54.-
SO, and the seed for Sc. go, making
a total Sol 13 which he received
from the 76Opounds of seed cotton
after deducting the gin toll. The
cotton cost him. including bag
ging and ties, $500. His
profit was therefore 5.13, or
counting the gin toll, 1888.
The $50 represents the price far
mers receive from the round bale
gins at the present price of cotton,
and it dosen't take a professor of
mathematics to figure out the loss
of the one who sells his cotton in
the seed. These figures are worth
studying.

Needs Work.

Word received from Lebanon is
to the effect that farmers in that
community claim that the road
leading to Ardmore is in such bad
condition near this city that they
will not haul their cotton over it,
but intend to market it at Marietta
unless the road is repaired. This
is a matter which should receive
the attention of business men
through the Commercial club.
