Special Correspondence to The Truss.
Clarkesville,' March 11 .—Supe¬
rior court of this county has now
entered upon its second week.
Judge Kimsey is giving entire sat¬
isfaction. Everyone who has ex¬
pressed an opinion has spoken in
the highest terms of him. His
charge to the grand jury was one
of the best ever delivered from the
bench of this court.
A good many visiting attorneys
have been in attendance. Last
week Messrs. J. B. Estes,-Herbert
Estes, II. H. Perry, H. H. Dean,
^ , Findley and Solicitor Gen
e ral Thompson, of Gainesville;
Oscar Brown, of Homer; B. S.

Smith, of Harmony Grove; W. I.

Underwood, of Cleveland, were in
attendance.
A funny incident occured here
a few days since. A northern man
made a remark not very compli¬
mentary of the south at the dinner
table at one of the hotels. Noth¬
ing was said about it at the time,
and the aforementioned gentleman
was very much surprised when he
started to leave the house by a
prominent > attorney, who asked
him to step aside, and informed
him in language that is rarely
found in Sunday school books that
he intended to kill him then and
there, and that he had used his best
efforts in the sixty’s to remove all
such cattle us he appeared to be,
and was deeply pained to find he
had left one. Among other things
when the gentleman from north of
the “Mason and Dixon” line desired
to explain, the attorney very kindly
offered to fold him up and put him
in a drawer, and kill him for a can¬
celed stamp, and furnish the stamp.
Both gentlemen left that after¬
noon, and haven’t as yet put in an
appearance.
Mrs. M. B. Pyles and Miss Ella
Addison have returned from a visit
to friends and relatives in Atlanta.
Mi's. Fleeman is visiting the fam¬
ily of Mrs. Sarah Addison.
Sheriff Gribble' is, having his
hands full this week, and knows
how to keep matters straight. He
has a house full of company at the
“Hotel Gribble,” and prospects of
an overflow.
The grand jury is making it
warm for the blind tigers, having
already returned a good many bills,
and the sheriff and bailiffs are con¬
tinually on- the lookout for some
evil doer. One-misdemeanor has
been tried this week, case of State
against Mattie Goss, retailing.
She was very promptly found
guilty, and is boarding with the
sheriff at present,' uhtil Judge
Kimsey can give her a little postly
advice. She is an old hand at the
business, and the town will be well
rid of her. Several of her agents-,
commonly known as “walking ti¬
gers,” will have* an interview
with the court thfis? week, ani if
guilt is established, keep J their
principal company on the journey
of retribution.

interesting sermon at the. Baptist

can say they did not have a fair
and impartial trial. The charge of
the court was perfect. Not a flaw
could be picked in it. They were
ably represented by Judge Estes,
Herbert Estee, Jones & Bowden
and C. L. Bass. The State was
represented by Solicitor General
Thompson, H. H. -Perry, M. T.
Perkins and George P. Erwin.
Those who heard Judge Estes’
speech say it was the best they
have ever heard him make, and
that was saying a great deal. Few
men at the bar of this State can
equal him before jury, and none
can surpass him who it has ever
been our pleasure to hear. Both
juries returned verdicts of guilty,
and recommended the defendants
to the mercy of the court.
A true /bill was turned in court
by the grand. jury Saturday morn
ing against Henry McCollester for
seduction. Bench warrants were
issued and a bailiff sent for the de¬
fendant. Just as the jury in Jack
English’s case returnned, the bai¬
liff marched the seducer and the
girl he was alleged to have wrong¬
ed into court, and informed the
Judge that they wanted to be mar¬
ried. The bride* groom-elect was
asked if he had the $1.50 to buy
the license, and he said he did not;
he borrowed it, however, and the
Judge performed the ceremony in
open court, and gave the groom
good advice, and sent them on
their way rejoicing.
Very little business outside of
the English cases has been disposed
of so far last week. Two divorce
cases were disposed, Nowell vs.
Nowell, verdict for libelant; Moore
vs. Moore, which resulted in a
verdict for libelant.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Hubbard, Price & Co’s., Cotton Circular.
New York, March 11
The week closes with a firm
market and an advancing tendency,
which has not been seen tn the cot¬
ton market for several months.
Thus far the improvement is due
entirely to the anticipation of a de¬
crease in the acreage throughout
the south, eoupled with the gen¬
eral improvement in trade, which
is slowly making itself felt in
every section of the country. This
improvement is slow, and in many
instances so gradual that it has es¬
caped the attention of those who
have been waiting to participate in
its 'effect; but nevertheless it • is
true that each day creates a better
tone in commercial circles, and
every merchant believes that he will
once more be able to enjoy pros¬
perity. It may of course be said
that the improvement id cotton is
sentimental in'its nature, as there
is- still time to pjant a large crop
of cotton, and that the movement
of the present crop continues on a
scale to justify very large estimates
of its ultimate yield. On the other
hand, it is’ notorious that cotton
never does what a majority of peo¬
ple want it to do, and it seems
possible that the improvement in
prices, drte to causes we have al¬
ready mentioned, may have started
earlier than the best interests of
the trade would warrant . It is ac¬
cepted by those who are in close
communication with the planting
interests in the south, that the re¬
duction ir. acreage will be in ex¬
cess of the reduction of i8t)2 ; but
they feel that an advance at the
present time might tend to increase
the acreage, especially as farm
work has been delayed by an ex¬
tremely cold winter, and the plant¬
ing of the other crops has not pro*
grossed as rapidly as is usual at
this season of the year. Never¬
theless the small movement from
India, and the sharp demand for
cotton from American and Conti¬
nental spinners, were the factors
which brought about this quick re¬
action during the past week.
Whether the movement of the crop
will prevent a further improve¬
ment is, of course, a matter to be
determined in the future. At the
present time the movement of the
crop is accepted as the refflon for
our being at these prices, and it is
now passed by without notice by
those who, at other times, have in¬
sisted that such large receipts must
necessarily break prices. The
American spinners, with the ad¬
journment of Congress, appeared
in all the markets as buyers, ab¬
sorbing the floating cotton which
was offering, and, although the
price of print-cloth is at the low¬
est figure for years, there seems to
be no reason to doubt that the
takings of American spinners this
year will be 3,000.000 bales. With
the improvement in commercial
circles, there is a slight revival in
speculation, but as yet the greatest
demand has been from those who
bare been expecting the movement
of the crop would seriously affect
the market, even at this low range
of prices. If the acreage should
be increased as a result of thi# pre¬
sent improvement, the effect would
be to bring about a lower market
later in the summer, aod its pre
may perhaps be to pre¬
vent the Continent from increasing
^ >nt‘* ta ***’ of cotton. The

Eclipse of the Moon.
Sunday night occurred a total
eclipse of the moon. Eclipse began
at 7.53 ,42 and ended at 11.24; 4^*
It was plainly visible to the naked
eye. / .
The first contact occurred on the
eastern limb of the moon 126
degrees from the north point, and
the last contact on the western
limb 69 degrees from the north
point.
The cause of a lunar eclipse of
course is very generally understood
by older people, but for the benefit
of tbte young the opportunity should
be seized upon to explain this
strange and unusual occurrence.
To understand this it must be re¬
membered that the moon is a dark,
opaque body of itself, giving no
light of its own, but shines only by
the reflected light of the sun. It is
3160 miles in diameter, and revolves
around the earth in about twenty
nine and a half days at a distance
of 240,000 miles. The earth, like
any other ball suspended in the
sunshine, casts a dark shadow,
whose length in the case of the catth
is about three times the distance of
the moon from us. Now, the moon
its monthly journey around the
earth sometimes plubges in part or
wholly in to this shadow, thus
becoming invisible. But owing to
action of our atmosphere upon the
bui^’s rays the stronger red rays
struggle through the dense air, and
being refracted fall upon the moon
even in the shadow, and usually
faintly illuminate it with a dull
copper-colored lights The extent
of this illumination depends upon
the clearness of 4 ur atmosphere at
the time.
The curving shadow of the earth
upon the moon is one of the beat
proofs of the earth’s rotundity. It
may be interesting to note in this
connection that the moon has no
atmosphere, hence it is without
animal or vegetable life. It is with¬
out fire or water, and its long days
and nights of two weeks each sub¬
ject it to extremes of temperature
much greater than those on earth?
Itc surface is extreamly rough and
mountainous, giving unmistakeable
evidence of voilent volcanic activ¬
ity in the past. It is believed that
it once possessed an atmosphere
and water, but when its internal
fires became quenched by the radi¬
ation of heat into space the atmos¬
phere and water were absorbed
into its porous mass. The moon is
now a fossil world, cold and cheer¬
less, and so far as tbe eye of science
can fee, a fit prototype of our own.
