The Nine in the Calender.

The figure 8, which came into
the calender on Jan. /, 1889, will
stay with us Ill years from that
date, or until Dec. 81, 1899. No
other figure has ever had such a
long consecutive run, and the 8
itself has only once before been
in race which lasted over cen.
tury--that in which it oontinu.
ously figured from Jan. l, $50,
until Dec. 81, 900, a period of Ill
years. The figures 8 and Z oc-
casionally fall into odd combina-
tions, but neither of them has
ever yet served for longer per-
iod than 8 hundred consecutive
years IN our calender since the
present mode of calculating time
was established. It is also clear
that from their relative positions
among the numerals it is an i'm
possibility for either of them to
appear in date reckonings con-
tinuously for longer period
than century.

Want to Form New County.

A movement has been launch

elther the formation of a new
county from parts of Maury,

Pleasant as the county site, or
tha attaching to Lewis county of
the city Of MI. Pleasant and the
district in which II is located
with the removal of the conrt

surveying party went up from
Nj. Pleasant Friday morning to
measure the airline distance from

the former city 10 order to deter

constitution. The organic law of
the state provides that in the
formation Of new counties or the
taking OF territory from old
counties the courthouse cannon
be approached closer than eleven

some insist that on an air line

Burglary at Monteagle.

Last Monday night several of
the business houses at Monteagle
were entered and burglarized,
Those suffering the largest loss
were the N. & O. depot, where
about IS was secured, and the
New York Stores, where q full
supply of clothing was purloined,
the tags of which were found
nearby.
On Tuesday the theft, who
proved to be Nath Green, negro
of Winchester, was apprehended
at Cowan by Deputy Sheriff Clint
Bennett, who with the assistance
of railroader searched the ne
gro and recovered part of the
stolen goods. Green found his
chance and took "French leave"
of the officer, who fred on him
several times with large Colts
revolver, and the fact that he got
away without being "winged"
can only be attributed to the
fact that he had selected suit
of "bullett- proof" clothing at
the New York Stores. The me-
gro is still at large.

Ell ce, Francis Buhler, the aged
former janitor of the college, was,
at the request of the student
body, again at his post for the
day. He tolled the bell assembl-

vices, thing he had done for
many years. The services were
conducted by the Rev. K. j.

out that, ''other things being

to prepartion for life's work aud
llfe's duties the more likely are
you to make a success of them;
ths greater is your chance OF

In further comparison, Mr..

NATIVES REVERE PRIESTS.

When the first Englishmen went to
Uganda, B. E. Africa, to occupy the
soil they called themselves a "com-
pany." The natives hearing this new
word, company" made it over into
their own language and called every
white man, except the missionary
priests, "mu-kompani" emu" is the
singular prefix. These priests were
regarded as belonging to a very diff
ferent class than the rest of men,
and were known as Baseserdoti."
1t is interesting to note that no
Protestant missionary ever has the
honor paid him by native that is
given priest for the black man sees
no difference between Protestant mis-
sionaries and other people. He knows
they have wives and receives salaries,
so they are simply "ba-kompani" (''ba"
being the plural prefix.

GREAT DAMAGE TO MISSION.

A year ago in October, one of the
missions of the Theatine Fathers was
almost destroyed by a storm, but
through donation made by the Cath
olic Church Extension Society, this
mission has been restored, and is now
in good order. The society also helped
Father Liciotti build another church
for a different mission, and the priest
and congregation are justly proud OF
it.
"The benefactors will never be for
gotten" Father Liciotti assures the
society, in writing regarding his mis-
sions.

tinues, "a Mexican settlement consist
ing of about thirty-five families, mostly
farmers. Seven years ago small
wooden building was built and the peo-
pie are calling it church. 1t is a
poor enough edifice, put together with
nothing more than saw and hammer,
and now, of course, it is in bad shape
and entirely too small. The roof is
leaking in many places, and the snow
and wind find free entrance through
the crooked boards of the walls. Last

sum for the purpose. We would need

It was quite a blow to Father Ii
ciotti when his mission church tina
he had tried so hard to erect wa'
almost destroyed over a year ago
but the society, through the gener
osity of a kind benefactor, was en-
abled to aid him in restoring it. Like
so many of the missionaries, it is onl!
for the crumbs that he asks. Bare
necessities are luxuries to him. An!
