For probably the first time in
the history of criminal juris
prudence in this country, a senator
of the United States stands before
the bar of a federal court charged
with an offense, which upon con
viction would compel him to serve
a long term in the penitentiary.
The senator on trial is Richard
R. Kenney, junior senator from
Deleware, and the trial is being
held in the city of Wilmington, in
that state. Senator Kenney is
charged with having aided and
abetted Paying Teller Boggs, who
has confessed to the robbery of

mington. It is alleged that there
is a great deal of politcs involved
in the prosecution of Senator
Kenney.

borrowed in New York for the
State. The rate at which he was
able to make the loan was 2 1-2
per cent., which is said to be the
lowest rate the State ever secured.
That rate, indeed, is half a cent
lower than the federal government
pays on its war loan. The school
teachers will now receive their sal
aries. Payments will begin on

There are some curious facts
that have lately been noted about
the calendar. No century can
begin on Wednesday, Friday or
Sunday. The same calendars can
be used every twenty years. Oc

day of the week as January, April
as July ; March and November be
gin on the same days. May* June
and August always begin on dif
ferent days from each other, and
every month of the year. The
first and last days of the year are
always the same. These rules do
not apply to leap year, when com
parison is between days before
and after February 29th.

was wonderful, but whose mind
was scarcely above, idiocy, disap
peared from the show business
several years ago. He was under
the control of the family who had
owned him in slavery days, and
there was a lawsuit over the prop
erty which had been accumulated
from his concerts. He is now re
called to mind by the fact that
the Christian Adventists at Roch
ester have ordained him as a
preacher. He has gone into re
vivalism, and intersperses his ex
hortations with piano playing.
The final report of casualties in

missing, 84, of whom none were
officers. Of the wounded only
68 have died.
Col. Pope, the surgeon-in-chief,
says this is a remarkably small
number of fatalities, considering
the large number of wounded. In
the field hospitals there have been
a remarkably small number of
septic wounds, and but two c^ses
of gangrene have developed, one
of which resulted fatally,

News is so scarce this week that
we hardly know how to begin. It
may be a surprise to some of our
readers in the county to be told
that we have had a rainy spell of
two weeks’ duration with a pros
pect of continuance. Farmers are
all very badly behind with their
work. Grass is growing, wheat
is spoiling in the stack, and to
cap the climax, protracted meeting
time has come, and nobody ready
but the preachers. However, we
reckon the Lord will provide, and
we will get through it all some
how.

Cleanliness goes

clean.
Make system
atic efforts to
be free from
this disgusting'
disease. Mrs. L. A. Johnston, 103
Pilham and Ripley Sts., Montgomery,
Ala., tells her experience with catarrh
of the stomach and how she was
cured:
“ I will state to you that I have
taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na
and two of Man-a-lin and rejoice to say,
* God bless Dr. Hartman and Pe-ru-na. ’
And I earnestly assure you that it
has done me more good than any medi
cine I have ever taken in my life. I
prescribe it to every one I meet who
is suffering, as the best medicine in
the world, and have made many con
verts who are now rejoicing in the
great good which they have derived
from the same. I can tell you that I
am almost entirely relieved of indiges
tion, that great foe which has tortured
me so many years, and can now eat
anything I desire without it is fruits or
something acid.”
To understand the scientific action
of Pe-ru-na it is best to have Dr. Hart

book on chronic catarrh. These books
are mailed free by the Pe-ru-na Medi
cine Company, Columbus, O. All

seen a paper printed in Milledge-

dated Thursday morning, July 21,
1814, giving an account of the
capture, by the British, of the
U. S. frigate Essex. This paper
was printed this day exactly eigh
ty-four years ago, and is in a
splendid state of preservation.
What a Citizen Man Heard.
Two ladies were discussing
Platonic love in a Dalton drawing
room recently. The bifurcated
skirted matron asserted her faith
in it as the ideal panacea for do
mestic short comings. “ Non
sense,” exclaimed the elderly one,
who had buffeted the matrimonial
waves for a fourth of a century.
“ Platonic love is a white heated
ploughshare over which only a
few ivory feet may tread in per
fect safety. Many try with good
intentions, trip and fall, and the
smell of burnt flesh permeates the
divorce court with its infernal in
cense.” Did either correctly un
derstand the philosopher ? He
knew no middle ground; ’twas
either a higher or spiritual love,
or lower or sensual one with him.
Of the latter, children are born
after the manner of the flesh; of
the former, after the affection of
Cordelia, who could with honesty
and pride point to her daughters
and say to Elizabeth “ These are
my jewels.”
