 Eve Night.

Selma, January 7.-(Speclal. )-The city court of Selma. Judge J. w. Mabry presiding, met today pursuant to adjourn ment from Monday last.

 A Valuable Meteor.
 Somewhere in Dallas, Perry, Hale or Sumpter there has fallen a meteor which if found in an intact state will mean 5000 or more to the finder. On the night of Thursday, December 31, 1908, several parties in this section saw the sky H. luminated, followed by flying meteor going in a northwesterly direction and descending towards the earth. Reports from Marion in Perry county and from as far west as Livingston tell of sight of evidently the same meteor, for it was seen here about 10 ocolck.
 Some years ago a meteor was found on the place of Robert Coleman on the Highlands about a mile from the city. The Age-Herald at that time published a photograph of the find and the rock was afterwards purchased for the National Museum for something in the neighbor- hood of 5000. This meteor was about to be rolled into a gully, the laborers thinking it piece of rock when brother of MT. Coleman who had been employed in the National Museum in Washington recognized it as a visitor from the sky and took the matter up with the author ities
 Just where the meteor fell to the earth that was seen on the night of New Year s Eve is not known, but it evidently fell west of Selma and the finder of the rock has an opportunity of securing quite a neat sum.

House Struck by Lightning

During the electrical storm Sat-
urday evening, a bolt of lightning
struck Roy Taylor's residence, on
the McGinnis farm doing consid-
cradle damage.
The bolt struck on the peak of
the roof and ran down the tin VAL
ley to the caves, and from there
down the wall and into the ground,
tearing a large hole in the roof of
the porch, and tearing the screen
door and inside door from their
hinges, beside considerable damage
to the wall. The shock broke al.
the windows in the frfoat OF thu
house and turned owe 7 a heavy
table in M of the front rooms or
which a clock rested. Some china
on the buffet was broken by the
conclusion, which also extinguish-
ed two kerosene lamps, one o!
which was in the front room and
the other in the kitchen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor were in the
kitchen when the shock came and
were slightly stunned for a few
seconds. Their escape from peg
sonal injury was a most fortunate
one and it is a wonder that the
lightning did not set the house on
ire,-Houstonian.
