EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon b yRev. II. Preston
just as God binds the orbs of the
sky into magnificent systems, in which
each star still preserves its own move
ment and color; so does he link togeth-
er the scattered nations into one vast
brotherhood, each people still retain
ing the distinctive characteristics
which are so helpful to the race.
The good things of nature are not
all found in any one land; they are
distributed over the planet. Recip.
rocity is designed and necessitated
by the very dispositions of soil and
climate.
No one national type includes all
projections. The mental and physi-
cal deficiencies of mankind show how
necessary international is, if man is
to realize the fullness of power and
happiness.
Some assert that commerce will
bind the nations, some that it will be
literature, while others put their
hopes in science; but the marriage of
nations will take place at the alter of
God.
In his second Epistle to the Cor
inthian church Paul urges the CORN
thianS tn Sand holm tn their Christian
brethren at Jerusalem who were suf-
fering from a famine. They did not
know them but the Gospel had bound
them together by a common sympathy.
Are we not doing the same thing
on a larger scale today Do not some
of our acts as a nation indicate that
we are beginning to realize the posi-
ton we occupy among the nations?
Blest with gospel privileges, are we
not, in a measure exemplifying gospel
principles7

self and did not propose to lose any
grain from poor stacking.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Erwin went "wet" at the spring cleo
ton, it went dry Monday, There
were two applications for license, but
the village board decided to refuse
both applicants. The matter was
heard or discussed at a second meet
ing held for that purpose, but with
out changing the result. The major
ity of the board simply exercised its
power under the law to refuse a per,
NIT without specifying reasons there
for. 1t is reported that another petit

the board. Whether it is by one of
the parties who have already been re-
fused, we do not know. There seems
to be more than one way of making a
town go "dry."

BELIEVED CRISIS HAS
PASSED AT new YORK

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-(SpeciaD-
Two small Brooklyn financial institu-

dition was noted.
During the night, however, he grew
rapidly worse and passed away as

KILLED A BIG BUNCH
OF SNAKES IN CITY
HaIf Dozen are Found in
City Limits.

Americus is still headquarters for
rattlesnakes, many huge reptiles hav-
ing been killed here recently, and
yesterday the record was still further
increased by the killing of six huge
diamond backs" near the plant of
the Americus Oil Company.
Henry Daniel colored man,
found them at point where the rail-
way tracks cross, and killed them.
Two of the snakes were of great
size, one bearing twenty-three rattles
and another twenty-four. The other
four were not so large, but big fell
lows, as rattlers grow.
Another snake story is that of a
white hunter, who had a very narrow
escape, his hat saving him.
Seeing a big rattlesnake, as he
supposed, he shot it, and desiring to
secure the rattles he stopped over to
cut them Off Another rattlesnake at
the same moment struck at him, the
deadly fangs fastening in the brim of
the hunters hat
Perhaps a hundred huge fellows
have been killed here this year, and
young men going possum hunting at
night run great risk; as October is
the worst month for rattlers.
