There are two comets now visible In

and has been observed by most peo-
pie. has not yet been identified by as.
tronomers and there is a difference OF
opinion among them as TO whether IL
is one heretofore known or a new
one. They are studying its move
ments and will doubtless soon be able
TO arrive at correct conclusions as TO
its orbit. II is now quite conspicuous
and It's path among the stars is east.

BRANTLEY AND PARKER.

The following from the Clinch Coun-
ty News will be of interest to the
Brunswick friends of both Congress-
man Brantley and Judge Parker:
In regard to a discussion now go
ing on of probable candidate to OPP
pose the Hon. VIM. G. Brantley, who
is rightly considered by many as Geor
gia's ablest congressman now in
Washington, and apropos to the sug-
gestion that Judge ThOs. A. Parker,
gestion that Judge Thos. A. Parker, the
of the old Brunswick Judicial circuit
and now judge of the new Waycross
circuit, should be this opposing candi-
date, the editor of The News takes
the same position as he did two years
ago, that Congressman Brantley was
the right man in the right place and
Judge Parker the right man in his
place. Mr.. Brantley makes an ideal
congressman, Judge Parker has proved
to be an ideal Judge Both are occI-
plying the identical spheres for which
nature environment, education, train
ing and experience have fitted them,
and it would be TO the best interest
of the people to either sidetrack or
defeat the one CT the other for the
respective offices they are so ably fill
( ing and are reaping encomiums of gold
en- opinions from the people whom
they are serving.
The News is for Brantley and Par
ker. for Parker and Brantley--for each
to be reelected to the important Of
fee now being honored by each"

THE ABIDING MOTHER.

There was printed, the other day in
ST. Louis, something about man who
had died in that city, and about his
mother, woman 81 years old, who
had travelled alone from Ohio to st.
Louis in order to attend her son s
funeral.
1t - remarkable that woman of
that age aho-ld he able to travel SO
far 81 ne, especially in a season of
distress. Bat beyond this aspect of
the case there is something touching
in the story of that venerable lady,
whose fate it has been to witness the
burial of her sen, man of mature
age. who long ago established a
sphere Of love and usefulness of his
own.
In the course of sGture, the son
should outlive the mother But
there is something in the mother
heart which strangely cllngs to life.
and is even WILLING to outlive her fam
lily, so that she may he sure she has
served them as long as they needed
her.
| Ii does not matter to the mother
that her son has attained mighty
stature, that his face has become
lined, and his life filled with heavy
responsibilities. To her, he continues
boy Her eyes, which are quick
to note his pain or need, cannot dis
Germ that the years have made any
difference in him. The day never
comes when she does not listen, lest
she be called, lest she be needed to
kiss the place that has been bruised,
just as she did when he was a little
child.
And it is for the mother heart to
hold light even when the day is
done for ,aer children. She finds a
strange contentment in knowing that
they shall never call for her any more,
that she responded to their need, even
to the end.
She is the eternal keeper of the
holy grail which is the soul of the
home, and nature does not put upon
her more than she can bear, even
when she must see her children put
to bed in their last resting places,
before the lights are lowered in her
own room
