Well, success to him! Now, to Baconton! She has lost none of her splendor and greatness during the past weeks but she has had her “ups and downs.” We won’t discuss them here, bowevfer, for oli time and space must be given to other things.

We hear that when one person is jealous o! another, he recog¬ nizes in the person of whom he is jealous some superior qualities We say ‘ he’’ because women are never jealous of one another.

There will be at four contestants from here, per haps five. And Baconton con¬ testants generally take the palm, remember.

To ihe white people he claimed that he was anxious to finish his eoucation at a Louisville, Ky., Rheological school and then return to his home in Morrocco and convert his heathen country men.
