the Green, at the mouth of

however, Montgomery appears
to have been mistaken, because,
after the creation of Green coun-
ty, in 1892, it became necessary
to survey the line between Lin
coin and the new county of Green,
from the point, where the corner
of Lincoln and Jefferson and Ia
ter Nelson county and Lincoln
was situated upon the bank of
Green river, to the line of North
Carolina, now the line of the
state Of Tennessee, and Alexan-
der Forbes, the then surveyor
of Lincoln county, was directed
to survey this line and he was as
sisted in so doing, by the same
William Montgomery. who in
the year, 1880, had surveyed the
line between Lincoln and Jefer-
son counties, from the Rolling
river to the Green and establish

Hard Task to Pick Jury
in Collins Murder Trial

Gettysburg, Jan. 29.-An effort
was made to-day to bring the Bush
man murder trial to a sudden close
when George J. Benner, counsel for
Clarence Collins, discovered that
the name of ]. w. Asper appeared
on the list of ejurymen drawn for
this court and that William ]. Asper
came to court and responded to the
call because he had seen the name
similar to his in the list. He had
never been summoned. Because he
had been summoned by the sheriff,
]. H. Asper was also there. AS a
result of this miXup in the names
the attorney asked that the case be
continued to the next term of court.
The court overruled the objection,
as it was the belief that ]. H. Asper
was the man intended but he was
not accepted to serve. The entire
panel of jurors has been exhausted
and only three have been selected
out of the weight. Fifteen tales
men were summoned and from this
list four more were secured. Court
adjourned to allow the sheriff time
to secure thirty more talesmen. and
an effort will be made to secure the
remaining five jurymen from this
list.

1t is quite easy, of course, to see
what she is afraid Of
She is afraid of what people will
say. They will call her tickle or
cruel. And it will hurt. And being
only nineteen, she won't be entirely
safe that people aren't right.
And she is afraid of family pres
sure. Families are pretty formidable
things when they're all agreed upon
some one point that a single unruly
member dissents from. They have a
way of making it extremely un-
pleasant for the unruly member.
And the publicity of a broken en-
gagement, especially an engage
ment with a good, steady young
man who had been a lover since
families would be pretty certain to
oppose.
And finally she is afraid, as she
says, of breaking his heart"
OF course she is reluctant to
cause the pain that complete rup-
ture with her faithful sweetheart
is certain to bring him. 1t isn't
easy by any means to watch an in
nocent person suffer and to know
one is solely responsible. This is
no doubt the hardest part of all.
But while admitting the reality
of the difficulties that are in her
way, I want to encourage this
young girl in what is beyond any
doubt her duty to herself and to
her sweetheart.
To marry a man whom she not
only doesn't love but is wholly in
different to would be, as she puts
1t, a great wrong. Nothing justi-
fies marriage but. love. And this
does not sound like a case where
there is any chance of tardy love
developing.
So what is there for her to do but
be sincere and courageous and tell
her lover the truth?
Her family will readjust itself.
What friends and neighbors may
have to say is really beside the
point. And the lover himself, how
ever profoundly disappointed he
may be, won't die of broken heart
The hearts of normal. wholesome
steady going young men aren't
nearly as brittle as that. Ultimate
recovery is pretty certain.

lize how simple the matter really is

fies two people in marrying, namely

Her thoughts were too confused
for speech. She tried to calm them
sufficiently to remind herself that
Arthur could not really love her.
Yet, If not, why had he spoken just
now with so much feeling? Why,

The Only Reason For Marriage

that they love each other so much
that they cannot be happy apart.
The Only Reason For Marriage
Don't marry a man bcause you
have known him all your life or be-
cause your family thinks we'll of
him or because he has been kind to
you, or because you think he is in
love with you. Don't marry to be
accommodating. Marry because
you've learned what love is and be-
cause you have substantial reason
for believing that the man you're
in love with is worthy of love.
It's the matter of all others that
your own heart and your own con-
science must decide. But because
you must decide it alone; you must
on that account be all the more
careful not to decide it hastily. If
you mustn't marry just to be polite
or obedient, you must also certainly
not marry from wilfulness or per-
versity.
Don't elope at seventeen with the
youth who made love to you so
charmingly last week, even though
he seems to you at present the di-
vinest creature on earth. Wait and
consider. Be very careful not only
that you love, but that you love
wisely.
think constancy will take care of
itself.
If you make up your mind not to
become engaged to a man because
he wants you to SO much, or be-
cause other people want you to, you
are not likely to find yourself in that
condition of agonized uncertainty
where anxious onlookers will threat
en- you with the club of constancy.
But if you have made the mis-
take which so many women make
of drifting into listless compact of
love with man they are half indif-
ferent to, merely because at the
moment there's no other man in
sight-have the courage to repair
your mistake before it is too late.
Constancy to a man you don't love
is q meaningless virtue.
Acknowledge your mistake, ac-
cept all the blame for it and reserve
the treasure of your heart for the
man whom you will some day really
love.

Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 have
been going about for eight
months with young man three
years my senior and think a
great deal of him. He has bought
me a number of things and has
acted very kindly. We have met
each others families and mine
think a great deal of him.
He recently proposed to me
and l refused him because l
had promised to marry friend
who went overseas last April.
When my new friend was as
tonished at my refusal, I told
him of my promise, and he said
that 1 ought to at least give him
a fair chance and choose be-
tween them when my first friend
returned. l am at a loss to
answer this request. l know l
could learn to love him, as he
is an ideal man.
