To arouse! the conscience to this solemn teak the ceremony of sounding the Shofar or ram's horn, forms an important feature of the service. Among the orthodox Jew attainment of this object Is also sought by settihg aside a few days before the New Year's Day for the recital.

In many places the curious ceremony of Tashlicb. originating perhaps with the German Jews not earlier than the XlVth century, is observed. The worshippers congregate near a running stream when the eighteenth to twentieth verses of the jvilth Chapter of Mic&h are intoned, ending with the phrase which no doubt suggested the ceremony. "Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depth of the sea." After the solemn services on the evening of Wednesday and the morning of Thursday, the Hebrew greeting is heard on all sides, signifying "A good year'' or "Mayeat tprfu be inscribed. (In the Book of Life) for a good year." in latter years a custom has appeared of sending to friends New Year's greeting cards of various designs, colors and inscriptions. When the earnest devotions of the day are done, the festival is [made an occasion of social and domestic rejoicing. ABOUT YOUR COTTON SEED. Last year the crop was large and the price averaged low.

With half the State on record, Wm. T. Haines, the Republican, had a slight lead over Governor Frederick W. Pl&lnsted, and the percentage system indicated that if the same ratio was maintained, the Republicans would win the fight for the head of the ticket by about 3.000. Returns from the four congressional districts also leaned toward the Republicans, especially in the first, third and fourth districts, with the second district showing a Democratic tendency. The legislative returns vtere toe meagre u^p to a late hour to give any indication of the complexion ol either branch so that the outcome of the fight for the United States senatorship betwen Senator Obadlah Gardner.
