Moulton, March s.-(SpeciaL)-If March comes in as lamb and goes out as Hon. holds in modern times, its ancient worth. Lawrence county has yet a siege of cold and rain and mud for several weeks, for so March has come. The severe winds and cold of the past several days have made the "flu" worse throughout the county, and in addition to the closing of a number of tho rural schools. the County High School Is suspended for this week. County court Is continued also from tho same cause.
 Principal A. B. Murphree was renom- mated as tho head of tho Lawrence County High School for another year by the county board at it's meeting Friday. The question of financing the school for another year is very grave one, and at present no solution seems in sight.
 Tom Simms, a prominent young far nor living just on the outskirts of town, died Sunday morning at his homo. and one of his little girls that night. On Saturday MT. Simms was stricken with the flu" and the little girl had re- lapse from her attack of a few days before. A wife and six children are left, besides many relatives.

DAILY NOVELETTE,
RUSSIAN ADvERTTsING

Something was wrong. A dense blackened the corner of Alexan- drovitch and Nevsky streets in Petro- grad.
 Could there about to be started an- other revolution?
 There could notl
 Or, perhaps the bolshevik were drum ming up new converts?
 Perhaps not
 Anyway, something was the matter, for the crowd became ever denser and denser until the Cossacks began to take notice.
 The centre of interest was a small boy who was crying loudly.
 With many rough but kindly Ques- tions, the burly Russians surrounded the boy.
 What was the matter with him7 Was he lost? Was he hurt7 Had any of bis parents or relatives been shot by the Bolshies? What was it?
 These were only few of the many questions asked the screaming child, but to none was vouchsafed an answer. Was the mystery to remain a mystery? Was the puzzle never to be solved?
 And then, when the crowd numbered many hundreds, and the Cossacks were about to charge and disperse them all, the boy ceased crying. An, now they would know! They became silent, eager, breathless.
 T am lostp' cried the boy.
 So, that was 1t. was 1t? Instantly all were sympathetic.
 He continued: 'Will somebody please take me home-to my father, Yansky Smartovitch, the best tailor in Petro- grad, who lives on the Gookski Pros pekt, and who has the best trousers in all Russia, that he sells for seven rubles a leg, when everybody else charges uine rubles?"

 Those two cuffs were about as useful to me as misfit inner tube in the bottom of the tool box. I felt as silly as man out in snow storm dressed only In a straw hat with pink ribben on it.
 My reputation as an orator Is gone. 1 am humiliated beyond measure. The brethren of my own lodge thought I was soused, and the visiting members thought was trying to be funny at their ex- pense.''

static signals from some other planet were prop
ably responsible This idea took such hold on
me that made the definite suggestion that there

would attract magnetic signals from 1nterpanetary
space.

that these signals being sent out by 1nhaDl'

I knew that they could not have been produced

from Mars occurred to me, but the pressure Of
business affairs caused me to drop the experiment.
