Circumstances frequently color o pinions. Communicated.- Mr Editor:- In a brief way I wish to cescribe a phenomena or the strange freaks of a star as seen by myself and two o thers un the night of the 2oth of August. While sittiug on the verardah of my home, facing east, admiring the clear star ry night, about 830 a bright light or star appeared above the distant tree tops and seemed to sway or move about, changing its position. Aiter watching it for atime I callde the attention of one present who pronounced it the “Jackolantern.’ Its movements was more like the swaying of a kite than anything we can compare it to. Its motions was north and south, down and up, disappearing and re-appearing, every time higher up in the skies, having a train or tail abouttwo feet long forming an oblong circle enclosing a smaller circle, colors of a rainbow hue with a bright spot in center and hottom changing positions, while the upper or grtater light remained still. Now if this circle had been above we might have called ita halo, but it was below. We watched until it disappeared for wé knew not what to call lit. [t was very near the sun’s path. We arose after 11 o’clock to find the wonder light form ed into a large and brilliant star, which fact remains for s me astronomer to ex plain, there being not a particle of cloud between us and it. The same star appeared on the night of September 15t., swayiug and unsteady 1} appearance, rainbow col ors and slowly forming into a bright star. It appears every night about 8,30 and if a | clear night it is plainly visableto all, al ways being injthe suns path Had I been alone I might have thonght it an optical | Illusion, but there being two others pres ent goes to substantiate the statement Just before the rising of this star a great’ light can be seen in the cast, but we cant say where it comes from. l ; G. e e GEORGIA,—Lee County.

This sth., day of September 1904. A. J. Fleetwood Administrator of J. E. McKinney Wanted - Pablic Spirited That is what Lee county wants- She has them if we could only once get togeth er. For our own sake and the sake of the county lets get together this time and make an exhibic at the state Fair. A cred itable exhibit will be worth thousands to Lee county. You can look at the counties that are going forward the fastest and you | will know they are the ones that have ad l vertised themselves. I.ee could make a fine | exhibit, so lets hold a meeting at onge to ‘ organize an association and make an ex- | hibit at the Fair. It need not cost much, | and we may get enough premiums to pay | this. How many men will join mein the effort to do this? Would like to hear from | them. We have the crops this year. A . well selected display would probably be ‘an inducement to home-seekers who it may be knows very little of Lee county. Each white family that we. can locate in Lee willadd a great deal to a county which is too much of a negro_ county for its own goob, Double pupulation and you ' double the value of your landl; you make lamarket for all the surplus stuff made. ' The only way to double the population is |to push it by advertising, pushing, work ing and hustling, then tell people that fee county is good for something bzsides pol itics. C. H.
