THE prevalence Of divorces in the
United States is a reproach alike
to the country and to the church. IL
the declaration Of Dr. Robert Stuart
Macarthur. The American republic
has most unenviable prominence IN
this regard. The detailed accounts Of
suits for divorce, as these suits are
pressed in the various courts. are dis
gusting in the extreme. They bring
reproach alike upon American men
and women in all parts Of our country.
These facts are admitted and at the
same time are sadly regretted by our
best citizens and our most devoted
churchmen and churchwomen.
The causes FOR divorce are numer

sponsibility. either to men or to
women It Is not a sufficient state
ment to say that the broader educa
ton Of women and their emancipa
ton from the greater subsection Of
former years Is the chief cause. as

and women who rush into the divorce

Georgian mad an editorial that
"struck" US very forcibly which
we take pleasure in giving to the
readers of The Herald and News.
A banker said a few days ago:
''The farmer is a fool to hold his
cotton like he is doing.' A little
later a big merchant said the farmer
was to blame for the panic in money
because ne had not sold his cotton,
and judging from what else they said,
the cotton grower is to blame tor
everything that has happened from
Wall street down.
Now we are willing to admit that
more money would have been in cir
culaton and more notes paid at the
bank if the entire hundred million
dollars worth of Georgia cotton alone
had been turned loose and the money
going its rounds Of duty, but let's
see whether the farmer is fool and
to blame for everything because he
wants to get as much as he can for
his cotton.

Ganderbone's December Forecast.

Copyright. 1907 by C. Fl. Rieth.)
December Of the drifting snow
And yule-log blazing bright;
December, when the cold winds blow
Across the fields Of white;
When winters ring is in the ground
And the nights are clear a1d still,
And the boys go belly-buster down
The slick and shiny hill.
December of the Christmas tree
And childhood's brightest dream;
Dece1u,er Of the ecstacy
Of hallowed Christmas cen;
When the last sweet lullaby is sung
And ehildren's whispers cease,
And the wee sweet stockings all are
strung
Along the mantel-piece.
December Of the drum and horn
And bundles slyly hid;
December Of the one great morn
Of mornings for a kid;
When the chimes Of sweet and mel
low bells
Are welcoming the drawn,
And the house rocks with the merry
yells
Of kids with nighties on.
December was the ninth month IN
the old Ramon calendar, and its
name is from decem(ten). When
Julius Ceaser became Big Stick Of
the empire, the month contained but
twenty-nine days. He added two

from it.. Christmas gifts originated
with the Greeks. Hence the saying,
"Beware Of the Greeks bearing
gifts.' Santa Claus was invented by
the toy manufacturers Of Neurem-
burg, Germany, Wnere The Ieo1y
Bears came from.
The motto for this month will be,
"Shut the door!' Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Bryan will be the leading
presidential candidates, and prohlbi-
.tion will continue the burning issue.
The liquor interests will build walls
around Peoria, ILL.,, St. Louis, Louis
vile and Milwaukee, and their war
balloon will make daily observations
Of the movements of Mrs. Nation.
The Anti Saloon League mas con-
sented to let the Winter Solstice Of
this year begin at p. m. on the 22nd;
but there must be no drinking, and
every one must be in by Curfew.
The 21st will be the shortest day in
the year. This will be on Saturday,
and if you are at church next day and
stay for the sermon, you will notice
that the 22nd is much longer.
The m, will be full on the 18th,
and the sign Of the zodiac for the
month will be Caprciornus the Goat.
This will make butter 60 up, and send

From the Newcastle Chronicle.
 A queer case of collective temporary mental alteration. of which an entire family were the victims, is reported from Le Mans as having occurred at Bellevillers, on the borders of the Sarthe and the Orne Departments. A family of six persons had made their midday luncheon on Sunday and shortlyafter all abandoned themselves to extraordinary freaks. One woman spent the whole aft ernoori washing her hands under the de- fusion that they were dirty another made her bed a lumber head, and two men kept loading a wagon with soil and then emptying it. Rnother went to drive imaginary cows and kept seeing non-existent balloons, while the youngest roamed about with one boot on and the other off Toward evening all resumed their usual sane composure.
