Says No God-fearing Gentleman or Lady Would Join the Union. Sandy Ridge. April 12. Mr. Union Man : Dear Sir :—I haven't any ac knowledgement to make on any thing I said. What I said was tho truth and the truth will stand when the Union has passed from this earth. The truth don't need any acknowledgement. I do think the ladies are out of their place when going into a lodge or any secret organization. It don't Beem right to me and I am sure any even thinking person will agree with me. I don't think that any true, God-fearing gentleman or lady, who is obedient to the com mands of their Master, will go into any secret order, for it is contrary to the word of God. You said that you was not referring to "A Far mer'" or "Ladios' Friend." If you was not why did you tako your text on them V You said that the church that undertakes to put you down would fail. lam sure that there isn't any church of our faith that wculd put you out of business if they had the power, but you will always find people, whom my name is among, contending for the truth that is in duty and opposing the ways of the world. The people of God are the salt of the earth and when they are no more you nor I will not be permitted to stay here any longer. You may cover the earth with Unions and you can't stop the influences of God's church nor you can't prey upon her as long as she travels in duty. You had better be a little care ful as to what you say. I am not aahained of anything that I wrote, for I feel it was the truth, God being my witness, and if you did not slander yourself in the piece you wrote you need not fear any one else. I want you to look over the piece you wrote and see if that is the way to answer a lady. You had better consider next time be. fore you write. LADIES' FRIEND. A good flour for $3.00. W. E. Butner. HALLEV'S COMET SIGHTED AT WASHINGTON Astronomers At the Naval Observa tory See the Long-Looked-for Wanderer Through Big Telescope. Will Not Be Visible to Naked Eye Until First Of May. The latest news regarding the comet comes from Washington where it was first seen through the big telescope at the Naval observatory this week, The dis patch from Washington follows below, and is given for what it is worth : "Halley's comet was seen here today for the first time on its | present visit, those favored with this primary view being Profes sor Asappali of the naval observa tory and his associate. It was about 4:30 o'clock in the morning when through the big 2l>-inch telescope at the observatory they i obtained a sight of the wanderer of the heavens which for the past three-quarters of a century has been hidden from the eyes of the inhabitants on this globe. For about 15 minutes the comet re mained visible. "In about three weeks, the comet will be visible to the naked eye, it will rise two hours and forty minutes before the sun. Today it came up an hour ahead of the great luminary. The com et therefore will be visible for a louger period each day, although those who wish to see it will be obliged to arise early, "Popular apprehension regard j ing harm to the earth and its in habitants during the visit of the comet to this portion of the i universe is unfounded. In a state ! ment issued tonight, Willis L. j Moore, of the weather bureau, [ says that the result of a collision between the earth and a comet would depend upon the mass of the comet, the velocity of the bodies and the angle of impact, but that in the present case a collision would be impossible, owing to a safety margin of some 13,000,000 miles between the tracks of the earth and the comet. "The tail of the comet through which the earth probably will pass Bome time in next month will be noticeable as an absolutely harmless luminous «as or dust. It may produce electrical and magnetic effects that can bo de tected only by Belf-reoording instruments." Walnut Cove Route 2.

No. 1,984 THE BIG FOX RACE COLLAR TO BE EASILY WON Fox to Be Led Around a Big Three- Mile U Trail, While Committee BWill Watch at Arranged Crossing to Determine Winning Hound. Iu order to add interest and ex citement to the fox race, 9et for next Saturday, in which the champion fox hound will bo awarded a silverplated collar, the following arrangement and pro gram have been adopted: The fox will be led, well secured, a distance of about 8 miles, making a wide detour of Danbury, on all sides, principally on the high ridges. It will then be liberated at a point not a great distance from the starting place, the plan of the trail being similar to the letter 1". The idea is three-fold: First, to give the fox a good 2 hours' start of the dogs. Second, to loosen up its limbs for running, the confinement possibly having stiffened its legs. Third, to afford spectators the pleasure of seeiug and hearing a beautiful race from a conven ient point here without the trou ble of following the dogs until the collar shall have been awarded. Now. it has been agreed by all that the possibility of determin ing the first dog to catch the fox 'is quite remote, as the end of the I race is hardly ever witnessed by one or more persons, besides, often ;several hounds are "in at the I death" simultaneously. So the trail as created by those who lead ! the fox on the V route, will be arranged to cross at a certain point inside of the town limits at which a committee of three disin terested persons will be stationed ito watch the crossing of the line, the leading hound being awarded the prize. After this, the mat ! ter of the championship collar | having been disposed of, the real race, the music of the pack in full cry aften Hying reynard. will only I have begun. Everybody invited. If weather conditions are favorable, the race ought to be worth coming to see to all who enjoy this kind of | sport. I THE BTAKT. The dogs will be started on the trail at 7 o'clock A. M. from the center of town. NEW PREACHER ELECTED. ! Oak Grove Church Calls Rev. C. W. Glidewell —Personals From Madi son Route 3. I 1 Madison Route I!, April 11.— ! Rev. C. W.
