BERTHA

PERTHA, signifying bright, has an
extraordinary ecclesiastical fla.
vor. In old German chronicles the
feast Of Theophania Is translated by a
word meaning frightened night, and
the root Of that word is "perahta." How
perahta, or berahta, became an indi-
vidual character is too involved for
space here, but 1t Is sufficient to say
that Perahta, or Bertha, was a sacred
being, called, In an old Alsatian poem,
the mild Berchte, in whose honor all
young farmers dance, ring cattle bells
and blow whistles throughout the night
of the feast.
She Is pictured as an old, white
haired woman, with a long nose, who
creeps into nurseries and comforts lit
tie children neglected by their nurses
In other stories, she is used as figure
of terror to brighten children and is
the avenger Of idle spinners. Frau
Bertha Is undoubtedly the impersona-
ton Of the Epiphany, though there is
an effort to connect her with the old
mythical Huldr, and other etymologists
believe her to be another name for the
Goddess Freya, wife Of Odin.
One Of the most famous Berthas was
the wife Of Pepin and mother Of
Charlemagne, known as Bertha aux
Erands pieds." Another Bertha of his
torical fame was her daughter, sister
Of Oharlemagne and wife Of Orlando,
Who, being in great want, supported
herself spinning until her son won rec
ognition from his powerful uncle
Because Of Queen Bertha of Switzer-
land, the name has always been very
popular there. 1t has also had great
vogue in England since the Norman
conquest, and even before that time it
was in use, having named the daugh-
ter Of Chilperic, king Of Paris, and
wife of Ethelbert of Kent, who
smoothed the way for st. Aguustine's
mission. It is used quite commonly in
France and Germany, and in Dante's
time was so frequent In Italy that he
places Norma Berta with Ser MARITIME
as the chief Of the gossips. Southey
gave it additional vogue in England by
so-calling one of his heroines, and It
even. penetrated Greece by the mar
rage of German princess Of that
name to Greek emperor.
Bertha's talismanic stone Is the
beryl, which is said to keep It's wearer
amiable and with inconquerab1e charm.
Wearing q beryl will reawaken love
In married people. Sunday is her
lucky day and 2 her lucky number.

iects for the funny house at Chatta-
hoochee.
The people of Charlotte county
fought for 20 years and spent many
thousands of dollars to secure their
freedom from old DeSoto county and
the domination of its tick-bitten poll
ticians-and they would fight twice
as long and spend twice as much
money to keep from going back 10
old DeSoto-and, we verify believe,
would resort to arms were it neces-
sary. why, I'd fight 'em until hell
freezes over" the largest taxpayer
in the county is quoted as saying
when he was told of the yarn, which,
it seems, has reached Arcadia and is
being given credence there by men
who have heretofore been considered
sane.
The people of Charlotte county are
entirely satisfied. They have realiz-
ed every benefit they expected from
divsion-and some they did not ex-
pect. Perhaps the schools have bene-
fitted more than any other department
Of the county, for Notwithstanding
the fact that there was not cent in
the school treasury TO begin with, i
has been possible to materially i'm
prove every school in the county,
every one has been run for the full
term, the teachers have been paid in
full, and we are told there is still
money in the treasury. This con
ton is in sharp contrast to those eX
isting in many other counties, includ
come of the Oldest and wealthiest,
where it was necessary to resort to
public subscriptions to keep the
schools open. We are reliably in
formed that old DeSoto, where the
new counties are referred to in terms
of derision, was unable 70 pay off
teachers when their salaries came
due.
We're not engaged in the fight to
divide Lee county. but when stories
of the kind referred to are being told
to the hurt of this county we cannot
refrain from mailing them and brand,

defeat division in Lee county that
was used in the unsuccessful effort

An historical. vain and silly girl
in Maine made absurd charges
against a minister, known far and
wide for his services to the communi-
ty and his good works. The girl was
believed, the minister ostracised by
the community to such an extent that
he shot and killed himself. The girl
then confessed her accusation was
baseless and the man innocent.
whereupon the community must
be a nice place to live-Condemns the
girl! If the community would con
denim itself for intolerance scandal
