We were reading last week
where the authorities had to take
charge of a family who were such
fanauics about a new kind of reli
gion as to think Unit the only way
to got to heaven is to starve them
selves to death. They weie near
ly dead and the officials had to
make them eat, that is the parents,
the daughter said she did not want
to give up her food but her father
made her do it. Not long ago a
little hoy in Chattanooga fell and
fractured his skull, and his par
ents being of the pentocostal faith,
would not have a physician, hut
were silly enough to believe that
they could have.lheir child healed
by prayer and let it sutler until
the court caused the appearance of
a physician at the bedside of that
suffering hoy and the father impris
oned for being such a fool. Wo
did hope that such belief would
not reach the minds of the people
of Lumpkin county, but we are
sorry to know that this similar fa
naticism is here in Dahlonega and
a father has been depending on
prayer alone to heal his child that
has been sick for two or three
weeks. We know of a man who
tried this faith euro not a great
while ago anil today he is in his
grave.
did,
and it was a beauty. At its best the
tail reached from the horizon to
tho zenith, thus spanning ninety
degrees of the heavens. It. is prob
able that such a magnificent phe
nomenon never before visited the
earth Of course this same comet
lias many times called on old earth,
but on previous visits it did not
appear as large. Maybe it was
only a boy cornet when it was hefo
before; or possibly it is just put
ting on airs this time in order to
keep the earth from getting ahead
of it. On its preceding visit Abe
Lincoln was conducting his (irst
sock less courtship and
Jackson was in the Whit
eating with a knife and picking his
teeth with a fork. John D, Rocke
feller hud not yet been born.
Probably the comet has its bead
set on monopolizing the heavens
before John I). gets the earth.
There was, of course, great war
talk in the Philippines. Many
an old fellow sadly shook his gray
head and said that comets always
j brings wars. The government sent
j out circulars and bulletins to al-
j lay the fears of the people, and
| the good priest at the head of the
j observatory published charts and
I diagrams and had thorn explained
i in all the churches, showing that
there is no more danger in a
comet t han there is in a lightning
bug. Had it not been for the ef
forts of the government, the learn
ed members of the catholic church,
and the present wave of prosperity,
I have no doubt that many a life
would have been lost xt the point
of the bolo.
To Borne the comet had a reli
gious lunatic and outlaw on whose
head there is a five thousand dol
lar reward came forth from his
hiding place and preached that the
second coining of Christ was at
band, and that the comet was the
torch with which lie would burn
up all the wickedness in the world,
which included all of the people
except the followers of the said
fanatic. Then he and his band
were to possess the earth alone.
This looked pretty good to many
an ignoramus; so a graeut throng
assembled on the top of a moun
tain and prepared to moot their
christ in the air. But strange to
say they could not fast forty day
and nights and then look as fat
and slick as a mole; and stranger
still, no manna fell in that wilder
ness, no ravens came with baskets
of sweet-bread and tarts, and no
spring of ice-water burst forth
from the jawbone of an ass. Christ
did not come, the comet got no
hotter, hunger continued to rage,
and he who went forth to meet the
bridegroom remembered that there
was plenty of rice in the lowlands.
So he shook the dust from his feet,
the “prophet” retired to his lair
in the mountains, the comet past,
and nobody was hurt.
1 have just completed another
trip to the mountains where 1 re
newed my acquaintance with my
old friends, tholgorots. As I told! * or ^ est ’
you iu a previous letter, tho Igo-
rots are head-hunters. Tho In
dians used to take peoples scalps,
but the Igorot takes the whole bus
iness. Our party learned from
inquiry and observation that the
head-hunters place their victims
in rude coffins hewn out in the
shapes of animals and set these
coffins under a large cliff on a wild
mountain side. After a time the
occupant of the coffin is thrown
out and a fresh victim put in his
place. \\ e decided to take our
lives in our hands and explore that
unique burying ground. So we
equipped oursblves with holes,
ropes, and scaling ladders and sot
out early m the morning. At two
o’clock in the afternoon we drag-
| god our weary feet into the little
I city of the dead. I never before
saw anything like it. There sat
half si dozen coffins carved in hon
or of the animal-gods while all
arouud us lay heaps of humuu
bones. J shall never forget the
i
awful contrast between this pic
turesque cavern of nature and the
ghastly white skulls grinning out
from eyery nook and corner.
The scene must have been some
what like that of old Ezekiel in
the valley of dry hones. Howev
er, wc did not carry the joke quite
as far as did Zeke. You remem-1
her ihat he preached to the hones
and immediately there was a great ;
j earthquake which shook every !
i bone into its proper place and
I made sinews, muscle, and skin j
I grow upon them; hut they were
, still dead. Then he preached again j
and every fellow sprang to his
j feet and blew his nose to show j
that he had plenty of breath in j
him. We didn’t preach any. In
the first, place, we had a pretty
good idea that the hones wouldn't
! get up if wc did preach; and in
Andrew I the second place, we didn’t want
I loti se jthcm raised. Think what a fool
hardy trick it would lie to resur
rect all that bunch and have them
swish their tails, brandish their
head-axes, raise the war-whoop,
and annex the raiser to to the bone
heap.
if you think 1 am enlarging up
on this narrative, all I ask of you
is to request the editor of tins
sheet to show you a photograph
which will reveal the placid coun
tenance of ye scribe sitting in the
midst of tlie skulls.

CITY TAX NOTICE.
The book will be open for the pay-
In fact, 1 have seen only one game j °[,no^ liix, ‘ s until the first day nt
for girls and two for boys; Tho
girl game is called “sissiski”. It
is played as follows: About sun
down from six to twenty girls as
semble on a grass plot and make
ready for a romp. The prepara
tion consists in laying aside their
blankets, which leaves them clad
as were Adam and Eve, minus the
tig leaves. Then they line up in
two rows about fifteen feet apart.
All yell “sissiski” and tho girls of
cuch side try to catch those of tho
opposite side by the ankles and
drag them over a “dead line”. It
is easy enough to upset one of the
girls and start towards the line
with her, but about that time some
partner of the prostrate girl seizes
tho ankle of the draggor and makes
off towards tho line with her. Thus
tho game continues until each
brown carcuss is drugged many
times over the carpet of green.
This is a new kind of lawn parly;
but 1 fear you will never partici
pate in it, Mr. Editor, as it is for
girls ouly.
