T. Powe has sentenced Is, H. C. Greer
10, j. F. Bowling 7, A. d. fairfield 1,
and l sent up by the Circuit court.

crimes for which these prisoner are
serving sentence include petty larce-
ny, retailing, crap shooting, vagran-
cy, etc.
Officer Culpepper now has a large
force at work ON the Petal road. This
road, by reason of the recent severe
rains, got into deplorable shape and it
will take considerable time to put it
back into shape again, but with the
large force now at work it will be
handled a great deal quicker than
would have been possible under
usual conditions. There is a saying
that a new broom sweeps clean"
and this proverb is certainly being
lived up to by the new officials that
constitute the Justice courts.

Mutual Fire Insurance Co., in Phila-
delphia. In 1890 he became professor
Of political economy in Cornell Uni

to support anything that was in &C.
cord with principles fundamentally
and scientifically correct. A firm be-

important factor in the campaign of

Some Other Signs.

In Spain the wedding is spoiled II
one OF the guests appears entirely In

mirror after orange blossoms and veil

When a persons hair ends split, it's
taken by the superstitious for sign
that she Is either a witch or has been
bewitched. AS blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair, all witches,
spirits and sorceresses have blond or
red hair, according to popular belief.
Likewise, according to the standard OF
art
On the marriage eve there is often
much good-natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride in the Slay
countries as to who shall blow out
the candle, for the person who does
will be first to die" 1t is impossible
to trace the origin of this superstition.
yet it prevails in aristocratic society
as well as in the peasants hut, even
as like this, that ito insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-

before her forty-fifth year.
