During the thaw the ice and snow
falling from the roof of Mr.. ID. II. Sell

with such torch as to carry with it the
roof and flooring. As it happened at
night no one was injured.
Eggs are plentiful, few Of us have

Lenten Season.

Lent began last Wednesday. A sea.
son Of more spirituality would helr
the restof us as well as our Episcopal
friends.
The word Lent" has no special sig
nilicance save only as it designates the
time Of the fast before Easter The
word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon
"lencten, - meaning the spring season,
and the lenten fast means simply the
fast that comes in the spring Of the
year. At first this fast may not have
extended over the Pascal week, but it
was arranged at very early period to
cover forty days.
For many reasons forty is a scrip
tural number. Forty years the chill
dren of Israel were ander discipline in
their pilgrimage in the wilderness.
Moses tasted forty days in the Mount.
Elijah was forty days in the wilder
ness. The Ninevites tasted forty days
and the Messiah tasted in the wilder
ness forty days before beginning his
ministry.
The deyOtions Of the Lenten fast are
intimately connected with Easter,
which it precedes, and are intended to
prepare the minds and hearts of Chris
tians for the devout celebration Of the
Easter communion.
Lent is strictly observed a a season
Of fasting by Roman Catholics, Pro-
testant and reformed Episcopalians
and LutheranS.

A Fine Tribute.

DR.. w. W. Landrum. the well.
known Baptist divine Of Atlanta, has
the following to say Of Douglas Left
witch, who will appear tonight at the
Opera House:
"Mr. Douglass Leftwich, whom /
have been glad for years to number
among my personal friends, gives such
an entertainment as thoroughly fills
my capacity for an evenings plea
sure. His soul throbs in his songs
and stories, and it is a jolly. healthy
soul, that makes itself catching.
Though by accident Of birth a Virgin
ian. which some folks think mighty
lucky for him, Mr.. Leftwich can trans
form himself at will into the old-time
darkey, and whether he MARBLES
strains Of sentiment or turns himself
loose in a negro dialect ballad, he al
ways finds me Immediately and heart
lily responsive. Long may he make
the folks laugh and grow fat"
