OUR POSITION.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The state de-
partment today received request from
the representatives Of the revolutionary
government at Panama that the United
States recognize the state Of Panama.
Pending official advices from the
United States consular officials at
Panama that the new government has
been established and Is a de facto gov
ernnen,. the state department declined
to commit itself. However. attention
is called to the fact that It is the invar-
liable policy OF the United States to
deal with the de facto government in
any country. This statement is taken
as favorable to recognition should the
new Panama government have an ac-
tive existence.

Hogs Liberty Is Restricted.

Oak Hill, W., Va, July 10
Mayor c. E. Duncan has tend
cred his resignation as Chief
Executive, and it has beenaccept-
ed by the council. He became
enraged because the council
adopted an ordinance preventing
hogs from running at largeon the
street, over his opposition.
Council of the city of Fitzgerald
go thou and do likewise, and
then amend the ordinance relat-
ing to the COWS and other animals
making it unlawful for them to
be allowed to run at lAge within
the city limits. Thewa the law
is now it seems that the people
living within the fire limits only
need protection. If so, let them
pay all the city tax, and those
people living out side of the fire
limits, can save some money to
buy guns and ammunition to pro-
tect their families from unruly
animals.
The next best thing our coun-
Gil can do, if the mayor resigns
for them to see that their ordin-
ance is enforced. A word to the
wise is sufficient. w.

Kathleen Elizabeth Knapp was
born on the 4th day of May, 1902,
and Hallett Pickering Marston
was born on the sixtieth birth
dav of his father, the 18th day of
May, 1902. On Sunday last,
July 18th, they we're both christ
ened at the St. Mathews Episco-
pal church, in this city, by Rev.
]. w. Turner, the beloved pastor
of said church. The former had
for her Godmother, Mrs. G. w.
Harrington, while the Misses
Eleanor and Ethel Marston act

Our esteemed friend and hustling
Trav. Pass. and freight Agent
of the A. & B. R. R., James G..
Knapp, was at his best and was
in every way equal to the occa-
sion. In fact he acted as though
he had been there many times
before, while the truth of the
matter is, it was but his second
attempt. Mr.. M: certainly out
ranked Jim, in this regard, as
he had appearedin nine instances
of like character. AS we gazed
into the eyes of the dear little
ones the thought, unbidden, came
to our minds, how much of hap
piness, una1loyed with sorrow,
will be the portion of those
earthly treasures, clinging now
so closely to the very hearts of
their devoted parents? The an
swer came not. He, in whose
hands we all are, alone, can re-
veal the future to us. He will
not, and SO we must rest con-
tent in the hope that the world
and all it's surroundings will,
through all LIES journey, be as
bright and pleasant to them as
on the day when that earnest
man of God placed his hands
upon their dear little heads and
in solemn, reverential tones said:
II baptize thee in the nameofthe
Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, Amen"
