Hudienci Miss Ada Hibby ;avea yo-.-l
rendition of "The Advertisement of ...i
Honest Hum Seller" which was
loudly applauded. The solo which
followed by Frank Dickson
was a beautiful selection and was sung
in a very creditable manner. "'A Mar
tyred Mother" was a selection full of
pathos ami feeling ard was well handled;
it was suited much better for a stronger
voice. Mastei- Buckner showed splendid
control of the voice, vhich was well
modulated; his gestures were stiff and
formal, but his delivery was fluent and
easy. "Our Country's Cruel Tyrant" was
spoken in a p'eus-nt clear voice by Bertha
Kennedy. Sht showed perfect self
possession and good gestures. Frank
Traver's selection wis "Anti-Poverty
which was well 'memorized though he
spake a little too fast and his gestures
weee not us easy and graceful as they
might have been, his voice was good.
The markings by the judges, Sullivan,
Windham and Dwyer were as follows:
Crown, 29ii; Miss Adauie, S9i; Emery
Buckner, 4:3; Wesctt, 3oJ; Ada Bibby,

carrying off the medal.
In two weeks the third contest will
take place, and after eight contests have
been had then there will be a contest by
the silver medal winners to see who shall
have the gold one.
We neglected to mention that the vio

very good indeed with the organ accom

In the case of Edward Ilurlburt vs.
Jacob Rayles in District Court mention
of which was made in these columns
some time ago. the jury brought in a
sealed verdict last night for the defend
ant. This is a case in which the defend
ant Rayles, signed certain contracts
with one W. F. McGee to sell on com
mission a patent fence, tbe contracts
bearing date of July 18S8. These con
tracts later ou turned up as two promis
sory notes for $120 each, bearing Hay les'
signature and were negotiated falling
into the hands of Ed Ilurlburt, the
plaintiff, March 1889, the noes maturing
July 1889. Ilurlburt brought Ins action
in County Court for recovery on the
notes and abtained a judgment for $273
and his costs of $19. 90. Hayles appealed
from the lower court to the District
Court alleging forgery as a defense.
The verdict sustained that theory of the
case, aud is geneJally approved as a
righteous one. The case was ably con
tested with Judge Sullivan for plaintiff,
and Clark & Barr and J. B. Strode f- r
defendant.

LUMBER DUTY E'iDC&D
MUOH CREDIT DUE NE
BRASKA'S SENATOR
Western States to be Benefited -The

Washington, O't. 17 Larg.'y
through the effoits ol the two Nrbra-ka
senators che duty on u Int.- pine lumber

manufacturing these logs into lumber.
It required but a few days after the pas
sing of the McKinley bill for the Cana
dian authorities to come to the conclus
ion that the export duty on logs must be
removed if they were to enjoy any of the
benefits of the freer market for Canadian
lumber within the United Ttates. C n
sequently Sir John McDonalds govern
ment took immediate steps to take the
duty off. And now it is announced
that hereafter American millers may im
port all the Canadian logs they want
without paying the duty for tlu privi
lege to the Canadians.
The efforts of the Nebraska senators,
therefore are likely to prove beneficial in
a double sense for the n sidents of the
prairie states, as cheaper l gs will make
cheaper lumber in this country, and this
together with ihe removal of half the
duty on sawed lnmb -r imported, will
tend still further to lower the
price to the consumer.

A Remarkable Book
ISY REV. T. DJWITT TALMA DOE, D. 1).
This is said to be a year of remark
able books, but doubtless the most re
markable that will appear for sometime
:o come is R -v. T. DeWitt Talmadge's
new work on the "Life of Christ" and
"Palestiiv aud its Peop e." Some idea
of what my book contains and how it
was prepared may be obtained by read
ing the following extract from the
doctor's preface:
"In .Tiv American home, on the Atlantic
on Mediterraeean, on camel's back, on
mule's back, on horseb ck, under chand
elier, by dim candle in tent, on Lake
Galilee, in convent, at Bethel where
Jacob's pillow was stuffed with dreams,
and the angels of the ladder landed, at
the brook Elah, from wnich little David
picked up the ammunition of five small
smooth stones, four nior'j than were
needed for crushing like an t gg shell the
skull of Gohsth; in the Vail, y of Aj don
over which at Joshua's command, astron
omy halted, on the plain of Esdraeloe,
the battle field of ages, its long red ti.nv
ere suggestive of the blood dashed to
bitg by the bores' bridles, amid the
shatten-d aiasonry of Jerico, in Jerusa
lem that overshadows all other eiti sin
reminiscent?, at Cana where plain water
became festal beverage, on Calvary
whose asUnt and ruptured rocks still
show the effects of the earthquake at the
awful hemorrhage of the five wounds
that purchased the werld's rescue, and
with my hand mittened from the storm,
or wet from the Jordan, or bared to the
sun, or gliding over smooth table, this
book has been written . "
This book will certainly be worth
reading and preserving. It is not only
a life of Christ from an entirely new
stand-point, but is also a very interesting
history of a couutry and people who oc
cupy a prominent place in the thoughts
and feelings of ull Christian nations.
The large n amber of excellent pictures
of placts and s tn?iy in the Holy Land
with whiih tie vo.ume is illustrated,
give it a special interest aud value. We
cannot all go to Palestine, but this ele
oant book, through the aid of its pic
tures and Dr. lalinage's wonderful de
ions bcriptaccompanying them, brings
Palestine to our very doors. The book
is indeed a positive necessity to a proper
understanding of the bible accounts of
places and events. We can understand
and appreciate bible history all the bet
ter when we see photographic represen
tations of the places where this history
was made. "From Manser to Throne"
marks a new era in the literature of bible
lands, and we are not surprised t) learn
that the demand for the book is phno
menal. It is sold on the exelusiy. terri
tory basis, and persons desiring to secure
agencies will find the publishers' an
nounct-ments in another column.

The cotton marketed at Marietta, in
Cobb county, about twenty-live miles
above Atlanta, is generally beautifully
white arid clean. It is grown much
more abundantly than before IS'jO. and
almost always by the aid of fertilizers,
which hasten the maturity of the cotton,
so that the crop of that part of the coun
try is much sooner prepared for market
than in tiie lower counties, where it whs
often plowed in to make way for the
new crop.
The prejudice in favor of the Gulf cot
ton has always sei -nu-d to me to be un
founded, though I know it to prevail in
Old as well as in New England, and gen
erally in the north. These northern
spinners have often bought uplands in
New Orleans, shipped from Columbus
and Macon in this state. Henry V.

The Man Who Says ' Fool."
1 shudder when 1 ponder upon the
final judgment of the man who, when he
hears that a fellow man has gone astray,
shrugs his shoulders and sneers, "Fool!"
who, when he hears that another has
encountered a terrible temptation, re
sisted until nature herself gave out, ex
hausted, and then tit the very last has
yielded to it and plunged headlong into
forbidden pleasures, again hisses, "Fool!"
who, when he hears that another is the
victim of some terrible passion, burning,
unconquerable, stronger than death it
self, and before which one day he sinks
like a beast on the plain, cries out only
'Fool!"
I pity the heart that never aches and
the eyes that never grow wet at tho tale
of another's downfall or ruin, while I
think there is something brutal and in
human about one who can sneer at a
long, terrible struggle between the body
aud the soul. And I have more respect
for the man who. having sinned, flees
and gives up everything, letting all know
his dishonor, than I have for the man
who sins and wears a mask through
which the eyes of the world cannot
pierce. Yet this tsame world calls the
latter an "upright man" and the former
a "fool." Some of you "upright" ones
be careful how you sneer at the "fool."

When Sam Jones was preaching in a
western town, some time ago. he was
annoyed by a young man who was whis
pering to his girl. Finally the preacher
could stand it no louger, so he looked
straight at the young man and said;
"1 will pause until the young man in
the back of the room gets through talk
ing." The silence was intense, and every eye
was on the young man. who was still
whispering to his girl. He had been so
busy that he had not caught the preach
er's censure. Mr. Jones repeated his re
mark, and this time the young man
heard him. Not an instant did he hesi
tate, but he immediately tried to square
himself. While every one was watching
him he looked squarely at the preacher
and said:

An K.;laiiation of a Sheep Call.
"Co-day" is derived by one authority
from "Come, Dick." Dick having been a
name as much in vogue for a male sheep
as Jock was for a horse. But "Co-dan"
may come very easily from "Come. Nan.''
Naii or Nanny is still a favorite name
for a sheep, as well as for a goat. "Co
dan" would come by corruption from
"Co-nan." and "Co-day" from that, in
order to make it more explosive and
easily heard at a distance.
"Co-da.r" is said to be derived from
"'"Come. Darby" another name once
often used for a sheep. Boston Trans
