St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-08-21

Based on the Apocryphal book,
THE Destruction OF Bel and the
Dragon"
The Book as Part Of Daniel.-The orig
inal text of the Book of Daniel and the
Greek translations of the same differ in
that the latter contain several insertions
and additions, among them being this
eleventh book of the Apocrypha, known
as 1.-The History Of the Destruction OF
Bel and the Dragon" Such is the Song
of the Three Holy Children" which diff
fers from the History of Susanna" and
the book under consideration, in that the
former is incorporated in the midst of
the text of Daniel, while the two latter
mentioned appear more distinctly as ap-
pendices, and offer no semblance of form
ing part of the original text. The His
tory of Susanna" Cor 1.-THE Judgment of
Daniel') Is generally found in the begin
ming of the book; though 1t also occurs
after the twelfth chapter Of Daniel. THE
History of the Destruction of Bel and the
Dragon Is placed at the end of the
special heading as part of the prophecy
of Habakkuk. Various conjectures have
been made as to the origin of the addt-
tons, and it has been supposed that they
were derived from Aramic originals, but
the character of the additions themselves
indicate rather the hand of an AleXan-
drine writer. 1t is also not unlikely that
the translator of Daniel wrought up ira
ditions which were already current and
appended them to his work.

at each end toward the top, which
is at least two inches narrower than
the bottom. Wedge shape ends of

Midsummer Eashinns

Black panama hats are among fhs
midsummer importations, and these
have much the appearance and tex.
ture of Leghorn. Perhaps the smart.
est OF the very late millinery are the
straWs in red-brown Ga cinnamon
shaded, which are trimmed with black,
These hats are especially affected in
comparison with rough tussor and
heavy linen suits. With such suits,
too, the fashion is growing of wearing
shoes to match them. Some shoes of
the more brilliant colors are positive
offenses in the street, where they are
most inappropriate Bazaar.

Varying the Hat Band.

Ic is quite the smart thing now to
have four to six crown bands of col
ored ribbon to go with a white or
burnt straw hat. The woman who
does not want to bother with many
hats to match her linen frocks, and
cloth and tussor coat suits, could
carry out this method in an agreeable
manner. She could have a crown band
OF black, one of brown, one to match
the color of her collar on her chey-
lot suit, and one of morning glory pur-
pIe because it is a fashionable color.

and paved. All these and many other
improvements will be made II the
citizens of Fort Pierce can secure the
lands necessary for the purposes Of the
railroad company.
Judge Penney, chairman Of the com.
mittee, informed 'us that much prog.
eeSs has been made BY those genflemen
In securing deeds to the properties.
AS chronicled by us last week several
Of the property owners have donated
their portion Of the land aud oGhers
have made extremely low prices on
their holdings. Nearly every owner
Of real estate in the desired tract has
made sacrifice In the interest of prog
ress. The deeds to the properties are
being executed and placed in the bank
to await the raising Of the necessary
funds. BY the end Of this week they
expect TO have all but three Of the
deeds deposited in the bank. Three
property owners are still holding out
for what is considered an exhorbitant
price for their holdings, but it is hoped
that sufficient pressure can be brought
to bear on them to show them the error
OF their stands.
Even with donations Of land and sacri-
flce prices it will be necessary to raise
between $1,000 and 5000 dollars in
cash for the purchase Of the lands and
this will have to DO done solely on pub
lie spirit and city pride, but every
dollar paid In by any iEdiyidual, firm Of
corporation Of the city will be but =
good, safe investment that will bring
handsome returns in the future. Sew
eral citizens and firms have signifed
their readiness to invest several hum
dred dollars each in the movement and
the entire citizenship is enthusiastic
oyer the proposition. 1t is the talk OF
the town and we predict that when the
money is called for very few names
will be left off the list Of subscribers to
the fund.
