DAMASCUS.

Damascus IS a pretty thriving
 little town, situated in the north
 west corner of Faulkner and the
 southwest corner of Van Buren
 counties, and is noted as health re
 sort. It is located on high, dry
 dividing ridge, which divides the tributaries of Pine Mountain creek on the north and Batesville creek on the south. Damascus IS filled with enthusiastic, energetic men and women. There is one fine school building in town, conduct ed by Prof. Vaughter as principal and Miss Ethel Julian as assistant, with an enrolment of 95 pupils and several more to come i'll soon. There are three churches in the town, one Missionary Baptist, one general Baptist and Methodist church, all we'll represented. There are six secret orders in the town, four of men and two of wom- en, F. & A. M.; I. o. o. F.; w. O. w.; F. E. & C. U. of A.; and Eastern Star and Rebeckahs. .... Toll Hudspeth and wife went wis iting in the country Sunday. ..... Prof. Vaughter, Mart Edwards, l. M. and Irwin Cossey attended church at Bee Branch Sunday.... Walter Crownover and Miss Mat tie Crownover, students of Damas GUS high school, went home on a visit Saturday; and were accom- panied by Misses Dora and Emma Mcgee and Dote Leslies children. They returned Sunday. Dr. A. I. Hutto has moved his family and a part of his household goods back to Damascus from Wooster ...... Mrs. Ada Hutto is very sick at this writing. .... M. V. Shottner is on the sick list this week ...... The infant of John Hartwick is re- ported very sick at this writing The Spaulding Buggy Company is working their rabbits foot in this section of the county at this writ ing and from the amount of busi- ness that they are doing l think that the fool killer has failed to pass this way in some time. M. B. Lynn will go to Conway Tues day night to meet his wife, who has been at St. Vincent's infirmary in Little Rock for the past three weeks, for surgical treatment. She is reported very much improved. MT. Moss, the town jockey, IS keeping up with his business at present in good shape. The Jus tice of the Peace of our town on the Van Buren side was very busy last Friday, having three cases on his docket. One withdrew, one submitted and one was continued. .... Nathan Mckenzie has pur- chased the Parson Vest store house from Dr. Harris and is converting it into dwelling by adding some rooms and porches to it. MT. Nc Kenzie has also purchased half interest in the blacksmith and wood shop of Tolbert Hudspeth and they will work as partners from henceforth.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN JEWELS.
Treasure Recently Unearthed In the
Tomb of King Ter Shows Some
Marvellous Workmanship.

Some of the most remarkable Egyp-
tian jewelry ever discovered has re-
Gently been unearthed. The date as
signed is as remote as 5000 B. c., but
the workmanship in gold and jewels
is marvellous. In exploring the tomb
tomb had been entered for robbery
at some remote period and that the
plunderers had broken off the arm of
the mummy quietly and hidden it in
crevice in the wall-perhaps on be-
ing discovered or alarmed-and had
never returned to remove it, says the
New York Herald.
On taking off the wrappings Prof.
Fetrie found four magnificent brace
lets of gold, with amethyst, turquoise
and lapis lazuli in varied and elegant
adjustments. The gold work was
peculiarly fine and delicate, though
the metal was soft and pure, appar-
entity with no hardening alloy. The
stones were beautiful and very strik-
ing!y and peculiarly arranged.
A number of amethyst beads Of the
richest and deepest purple, about a
quarter of an inch in diameter, are IN
the possession of Mr.. Edward Aver,
OF Chicago. He obtained them from
Dashone. Egypt, they being from the
treasures in the tomb of Princess
Merit, daughter Of Amenhotep H.. Of
the twelfth dynasty.

Now, submit that Sunday is not
only associated with Christian civil
ization, but is the direct product and

never find one without the other.
In drawing contrast between

many questions which would require
more space than you can give me for
their discussion even in bare outline.
The Fourth Commandment was the

ton. More than one sect today
builds its separated existence upon
the contention that the seventh and
not the first day should be observed.
But, waving all these questions, the
simple, outstanding fact speaks for
itself that Anglo-Saxon civilization
| is a Christian civilization and that
Christian civilization has always and
everywhere found necessary to il
existence and perpetuation a broad,
honest and unequivocal recognition
of Sunday as Holy Day, rather
than as holiday. Have we any
reason to suppose that this is any TIE
less true of this present time in
Clarksburg and West Virginia, than
of other times and places?
If we want here in Clarksburg

us make no mistake; a Christian

counter-attractions of secular con-
certs, games, etc, discountenanced

of honor and the credit-in fact,
famous. There should be no OPPOSE

the teamsters are deserving. They

SUNDAY DISCUSSED
IN ABLE MANNER
10 the Editor Of the Telegram

10 the Editors of the Telegram:
Your leading editorial last Satur-
day on the american Sunday"
seems to. draw a contrast between
that term and the term "Christian
Sunday" There are many of US
who believe that when Sunday en-
tirely ceases to be Christian it will
ease to exist at all, American or
otherwise. Instances of the begin
ming and progress Of that tendency
are not wanting; Sunday travel,
Sunday baseball, Sunday concerts of
a secular character, Sunday dinner
parties. These and many similar
practices, innocent and desirable per-
haps in themselves, have invaded our
Sunday and 80 far destroyed the
spirit of the day as to draw away
from our churches many of our un-
stable Christians and our children J;
to open wider the gates for employers
to require their men to work on this
one day, as on the other six, for
Saloon-keepers and gamblers 10 carry
on their business of amusing the
public on this day in defiance of a
law WHICH appears not to have public
opinion behind tin word, for
any and every custom and habit that
makes the day Ito say the least) a
purely secular one for the commune
~ at large.
Is the Telegram willing to stand
for that tendency, Mr.. Editor?
Your argument il: based upon the
separation between Church and State
that is created by our Federal Con-
Stitution.
But it is quite another matter to
speak of separation between Relig-
ion and the State. The Constitu-
ton does not attempt that. The
Isigners of that Constitution joined
lin prayer 10 Almighty God that He
would direct and support them in
their joint responsibility The
courts established by that Constitu-
Ition decline to take a single step ;
hear a witness, impanel jury, ad-
init to office a magistrate, judge,
a mayor. governor, a president,
without first placing him, with up
lifted hand, before God Almighty
as the final Judge of the political
action he is about to inaugurate.
| Therefore, Mr.. Editor. while the
State Of West Virginia and City Of
Clarksburg are forbidden by our
Constitution to establish any church
Or sect, there are not wanting evil
dences that both city and State
recognize their dependence for their
real welfare upon religion. The
conclusion then follows ''as the night
the day." that every good citizen,
without respect to sect or party, will
at least refrain from opposing the
fundamental institutions of rclig-
ion. And ! submit that a distinctly
Christian Sunday is such an insti-
tuition, and is properly recognized as
such in our State and municipal
laws.
Goa indeed say this yourself and.
4 you viii permit the criticism. You
thereby somewhat contradict your
general contention. You say "After
all, Sunday, whether regarded as the
Sabbath or not. has Christian
