Sound and Sensible.

From the Lee County Journal.
Mr.. MERGERS platform is sound,
sensible, earnest and practical, dis
playing a grasp of the situation and
the necessities of the times that
speak well for his ability to repre-
sent the district. Mr.. Mercer has a
very quiet way of approaching you,
which serves him good purpose at
this juncture. He passed through
Leesburg Wednesday morning, TAX
ing occasion to meet a number of
citizens of Lee. He seems very con-
fident of success, and is a hustler
at anything he undertakes.

THE BROKEN BOW OF ISRAEL
Fly C. F. MARKELL

I have stated in a previous article that I quilted Jerusalem with many regrets one afternoon in April and as Mount Scopas shut out the last glimpse of the city golden, my cavalcade of 21 animals started off at stiff trot for a weeks trip across country through Palestine.
 Surveying my caravan of saddle horses, pack mules, dragomen, donkey boys and Turkish soldiers I almost sweled with the pride of major general for with carbines, tents, bedding, cooking utensils and travelling luggage the outfit presented d positively formidable appearance.
 The hour of departure being late, the first days jaunt was void of many inter esting features, but before the sun set l had seen Mob, where David ate the shew-bread and where the Tabernacle and Ark were stationed in the time of Saul; Bethel where Abram built his altar where Jacob had stone for a pillow and saw the heavenly ladder; where Jeroboam set up one of his golden calves, where Elijah and Elisha visited and where the bears ate the forty and two; Gibeah, where Rizpah kept the vultures and jackals from the hanging

The moral Is that God knows best and one should never murmur at fate.
 In the afternoon we passed many Be- douin camps, their low, brown, dirty tents rendering them almost invisible until &C., Mally stumbled upon. and here our troubles began. The Turkish guard al- ways accompanied the camping caravan. which moved in advance and by short cuts that the tents might be pitched ready for our arrival in the evening, con sequently we were deprived of their pro

A church is being erected over the well and an attendant priest lowered light that we might see the wa ter of which I had quaff. The fields were not white already to harvest but 1t was at this spot that Christus pro- nounced them so over 1900 years ago.
 We were by the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to Joseph, just beyond me lay Sychar, and across the valley in full view was Salem. while the neighborins crests of Gerizim and Ebal glowed in the golden rays of a Sabbath sun. l made the ascent of Geriziu, part of the way on horseback and the remainder on foot. The top is covered with the ruins of hoary antiouities, over which the goats were gamboling that day, and in the distance the Mediterranean was distinctly visible.

 As the water shed of the plain is but 157 feet above the sea level it has been the pet theme of engineers for many years past to connect the Mediterranean with the Dead Sea by digging trench through the plain This would make great inland sea 90 miles long and would, of course wipe out the sea of Galilee, and by dig ging another canal 150 miles in length from the new made sea to the Red Sea better water route would be provided to India than the Suez canal now offers and Haifa would take the place of Port Said.

 We camped at Ain Sinia for the night, and a dreary spot it was. but selected on account of it's proximity to aspiring The camp consisted of three tents, one for sleeping, the others for eating and cook ing, respectively. At the head of my tent the American flag was flying but the fact that it was upside down made no differ ence with the dragoman, who was ig- norant of his faux pas, nor inhibited my salutng. The outfit was absolutely com plete from coat hook to sugar tongs, and ,scrupulously clean The sleeping tent was double lined, adorned on the inside with brilliantly coored Arabic legends and Persian rugs did duty as carpet The bedstead was of iron and the bowl and pitcher were fashioned of enameled ware The table china was complete and the chef used an elaborate braMer for preparing the meals.
