Under the new law the court will sit in two divisions, each having full and equal jurisdiction, and when necessary the whole court will sit together. W- J. Neel, in Rome Tribune. A Marietta young man was a roused from his slumbers the other night with a noise that indicated that some thief was at the barn trying to steal the family horse. He noiselessly slipped from the house with his shot gun in his hand and went out to the lot in his night apparel to detect the horse thief. He failed to find him and came back to the house, leav ing the back door open, and stepped into his father’s bedroom to warm, as the night air had chilled him through. The moon flooded the room with its silvery light, and he turned to go out at the do r, as he thought, and to his astonishment there stood a bold burglar in front of him ready to enter the door. The young man raised his gun and as he did so the burglar raised his arms with a gun ready to shoot al so. The young man knew he bad to get in his work quickly or the burglar might shoot first. So he pulled the trigger and “bang” went the gun and the large looking glass was shattered to pieces. His fath er and mother were awakened by this time and there was a scene of commotion and confusion until ex planations were made. The load of shot went clear through the glass and wall. The young man had mistaken the mirror for a door and his own reflected image as a burglar and the mischief was done. —Marietta Journal. IfhoEEooH SS SUFFER UNTOLD MISERIES.

His death was very sud den and unexpected, as ho had been in usual health. He was a son of Judge Janies R. Brown and was prominent in politics in his section. There is much truth in the fol lowing from the Columbus En quirer-Sun: “The fate of this groat country does not hinge on a presidential election. Its resources are too vast and its industries too varied for the sucsoss or defeat of any one party to seriously impede its growth and progress. Each faction predicts disaster and ruin in the event of the success of the other in the November election, but Uncle Sam is old enough, strong enough and versatile enough to take care of himself under any cir cumstances.” Recently a Whitfield justice manned a young couple. “What do you charge?” asked the groom. “The law allows me $2,” replied the justice. “Well,” replied the groom, putting on his hat, “I am glad the law allows you a fee, for I am not able to pay you anything!
