It is to be hoped our great presi dent did uot form any entangling alliances during his visit to the Pope of Rome. The Lincoln Journal favors Judge Horace M. Holden, of Ath ens. for governor.

Roosevelt was an or ganizer of men, full of patriotism ami had a strong following all over the nation. lie possessed his faults and his virtues. No man has ever received such an ovation, such a whole hearted welcome as President Wilson since his invasion of France, England and Italy. And no man could have done this if he had not been truly great, had not been sincere and horn of high ideals, pure and noble purposes and real love for liberty and humanity. He has done the world a service that no other man has ever been able or qualified to do. U. S. District Court for this di vision begins at Athens next Mon day and in all probability will con tinue for two weeks. FALSE REPORT. The report spread over tin* country early this week that Col. House had died in Paris, proved untrue. Col. House's death at this j u ncture would have been an irreparable loss, not only to our own country but to the civilized world. He has few equals as a di plomat and his wise counciland judgment is needed more than any other one of the peace com mission. _ d-yi THE BRIDGE BUILDER. If it were not for those who look ahead, who see the needs of those who are to follow and do things to benefit the generationsyet unborn, there would be little progress. If selfishness controlled mankind altogether and the doctrine uni versally prevailed which actuates the lives and motives of. so many men—that every tub stand on its own bottom, every age tak< jAe of itself—there would be no bridge builders, no statesmen, achievements end little advancement along all lines of endflß9Hf The man who does something for humanity that tie- ages, liftin'* burdens and giving ideals and avpii^^^^nlie and girl-, tlie and women who to folb^^^^^^pie hi idge build, r and h. n. f.'ietor invaluable to the world.

About Tulphur. Sulphur Is one of the oldest * nown elements: the ancient Assyrian al chemists regarded it as the principle of combustion and termed it "brim stone,” meaning literally burning stone. Term “The Public.” What we understand today by the term “the public’’ did not exist during antiquity, as it presupposes a great number of simultaneous readers of one and the same writings, a condition that could not be realized before the invention of printing.
