Ne Must Unite.

A father had a family of sons who
were perpetually quarreling among
themselves. When he failed to heal
their disputes by his eXortations, he
determined to give them practical
illustration of the evils of disunion;
and for this purpose he one day told
them to bring him a bundle of sticks.
When they had done so, he placed
the faggot in the hand of each of
them in succession, and ordered them
to break it in pieces. They each
tried with all their strength, and
were not able to do it. He next un-
loosed the faggot, and took the sticks
separately, one by one, and again
put them into their hands, when
they broke them easily. He then ad-
dressed them in these words: MY
sons, if you are Of one mind, and
unite to assist each other, you will
be as this faggot, uninjured by all
the attempts of your enemies; but
if you are divided among yourselves
you will be broken as easily as these
sticks"

COMET IN SIGHT.
Its Tail Said to Extend Several Mil
lion Miles.

A new comet which is flying
through space at the rate of many
millions Of miles minute, may be
seen by the naked eye just after
sunset any evening on the south
west horizon, according to Edwin
Fairfax Naulty, an astronomer who
has confirmed the discovery of the
comet on Monday by Prof. William
B. Brooks, of Hobart College, Ge-
neva, N. Y.
Mr.. Nauty says that the new comet
is speeding toward the sun and
should be visible for a number of
days yet. Because of the direction
of the comets flight and the relative
position of the earth, its head is not
visible, but Mr.. Naulty and Prof.
Brooks say that its tail, which is
several miles in length, can be clear
ly detected.
The astronomers agree that there
is no danger of a collision with the
earth.
This is reassuring. So no one
need feel alarmed while looking up
this celestial wonderer. Any one
who sees it as indicated will please
report the fact at once to The Times
and Democrat 1t has been quite
while since a comet has given us
a call.

START DAMAGE SUIT.
Interesting Case Arises at St.
Matthews.

The st. Matthews correspondent
of The News and Courier says a
county seat is never lacking in inter-
esting and sometimes sensational
legal suits. DR.. l.. NJ. Able rented
one Of his stores to Mr.. Joe Hanna
last fall. The latter sub-rented to
his brother-in-law, John Alexander.
The rent was promptly paid, it ap-
pears, but early in April, Mr. Alex
ander issued faring advertisements
of quick sales" and short profits. :"
DR.. Able suspected that Mr.. Alex
ander was preparing to leave and
levied for rent, which was not due
till the last of April. Alexander
brought suit in the Magistrates
court, which resulted in Alexander S
favor.
An appeal was taken to the circuit
court, and Judge Watts referred 1T
back to the Magistrate on an error.
In the meantime, DR.. Able drew the
door staple of the store and re-
moved, it is alleged, part of the
goods.
The attorneys OF Alexander then
paid all costs Of the magistrate case,
quashed the case and served papers
Wednesday on DR.. Able in the sum
Of $4,000 damages for forcibly
removing the goods from the store.
The case will be fought out in the
courts next November.

Why Go Elsewhere?

Our agency will show convincing
evidence Of 35 years eXistive sale
and highly satisfied users of the L.

paints combined cannot furnish equal
evidence. When painting with L.
& NJ. you are painting with Metal

Lead. Zinc is imperishable and
makes the L. & M. wear and cover
like gold. Don't need repaint for

1t is probable that if our represen-

Elementary bond issue not to ex-

provide that the town of St. Mat

very successful years work.
Misses Ruby Till, Ethel Bell, Villa

John L. Bell made an average Of 95

awarded prize each. 1t seems TO
