An eclipse Of the sun has always
been looAed upon with awe by the ig-
norant, and In the tenth century there
was prevalent-nay, almost universal
idea that the end Of the world was
approaching when an eclipse occurred.
Many charters began with these words,
"As the world Is now drawing to It's
Close" and 1t Is related that an army
marching under the Emperor Ohio I
was SO terrified by an eclipse OF the
sun, which II conceived to announce
this consumm2tion, as to disperse has
tlly on all sides. AS this notion seems
to have been founded on some confus-
ed theory Of the millennium 1t died
away when the seasons proceeded to
the eleventh century with their usual
regularity. The theory Of eclipses 10

Montauk had procured for the girl
most pressing invitations to the Ogden
mansion, but she had never gone
there, rightly appreciating the folly Of
such acQuaintances between persons
whose lives have nothing in common.

begun In the Thirteenth century, the
plant coming from India, where 1t has
been known for 1000 years. In spite
Of her unequaled agriculture, China
does not raise cotton for eXport-nor,
in fact, enough for her own needs. In
the growth and manufacture Of 1t, as
in everything else, the aim is not, as
In the United States, to save hand
labor, but to use Rs much OF IT as
possible. There are no power gins for

A PLEASANT GATHERING
Will Be That At MIR. Barton Cores On
Friday.

On Friday Nov. End Mr. Barton Core
'ene of our best known and esteemed
citizens whose home is near Cassville
will complete his four score years and
on that day his children and grand
children will gather at his home to
hold family reunion. Mrs. Core
completed her 10th year on the 7th of
October and Mr.. Core will complete
his S0th year on the above date. The
members of the family are warmly at
tached to each other and when they
get together have most delightful
meetings Five sons and five daugh-
tiers were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Core.
All grew to manhood and womanhood
and all have been married. All are
living except one daughter who died
last winter. 1t is expected that four
sons and their wives will be present
and the four living daughters and
their husbands together with the SON
in-law whose wife is deceased. The
&only absent son will be Rev. l.. A. Core
who is in India. There are 43 grand
children and Mr.. Core will arrange to
give each one a present of ten dollar
bNl on this occasion and should any of
them be absent he will forward check
for that amount to their address. Mr..
Core has lived frugal, upright, Chris
tian life and has amassed quite for
tune. He will leave each one of his
children quite comfortable start.
All the children and grandchildren
are fond Of the old folks and are al
ways glad Of an opportunity to gather
at the old home. They will make it
an occasion long to be remembered.
We wish them the pleasant time they
deserve to have.
