HALLEYS COMET
Some Interesting Notes About
The Celestial Wanderer

The Celestial Wanderer
Halley's comet, this great un
known body which has been
whirling through "trackles S S
realms of ethereal space" fol
countless ages, sometimes at the
enormous velocity of two hun
dred thousands of miles an hour,
and yet the magnitude Of whose
orbit the mind of man has grasp
ed and calculated with such pre-
cision that his return visits to
our skies have been predicted
with such certainty that the wan
dering monster has not yet failed
to put in his appearance on time,
is now attracting the attention OF
the American people and exciting
a great deal of comment. A great
many think that the appearance
of the celestial stranger was re-
sponsible for the recent cold
spell; others think or fear that
the earth's passage through it's
tail will be disastrous to human
life and things in general on this
terrestrial globe, and all kinds OF
conjectures are rife among some
of the more superstitious ones as
to it's probable influence upon
conditions here below and the
awful thingsthat will happen ere
it passes on to other regions far
remote from this hemisphere.
The following facts regarding
this great and hoary traveller,
taken from the Durham Sun, will
be of benefit to every one inter-
ested in his habits and hours of
disporting himself before the
public gaze:

A Sensible Deliverance As to Auto
mobiles.

Lexington Dispatch.
The Dispatch has frequently preach
ed harmony between the farmers-es-
pecially-and the autmObilists, ar
gued for decay of prejudice against
the machines, on the one hand, and
warned chauffeurs on the other that
in scorching and disregarding the
rights of others, they were laying up
trouble for themselves. 1t is up to
the same people who own and like to
use automobiles to aid in putting
down the menace offered by the fools
who travel over the country in motors
We don't blame the farmers min
ute for getting furious when one OF
these imbeciles violates the law and
scorns the rules of the road and the
rights of other people. We see there
is to be an organization of autoists
and hope there will be good, strong
one. and that one of the first things
done will be to make preachment
against this evil we are discussing.
Complaints come up from everywhere,
and unless the 10y riders" make a
change for the better, we predict a
tragedy that will make their blood
chilly.
