What a Country ours is! Ain't it? W. J. Lampton, in the Xew tfork World. Memorable Utterances. The Declaration of Independence has been in all subsequent history designated as "a document immor tal," and the story of the struggles for American independence comprise the most thrilling incidents related to the revolutionary movement to plant freedom in the New Wrorld. History gives honorable place to the utterances of the heroes whose names are linked with the achievements of the Continental Congress. We quote: WORDS OF JOHN ADAMS. "Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independ ent States." From a Letter to His Wife. WORDS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON: "The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same tome." "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." "We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sa cred honor." "When in the course of numan events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with an other, and to assume among the pow ers of' the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinion of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to the separation." From the Declara tion of Independence. In England the seller bears the ex pense of an auction sale; in France and Italy the purchaser pays five per cent, commission. A Sensational Surprise at Lenoir.

He had been strangled to death according to the confession of one oi several Italians held by the police. The boy's neck is supposed to have been broken when he was strangled, causing the head to .become separat ed from the body "when decomposi tion set in.

Seldom since the Imafia lynchings. 16 years ago, has Nevt Orleans been so stirred with threats' of violence as Sunday and some of tljese threats are made by those who participated in the disorders at that fime. The law and order element is'lmueh stronger than it has been heretofore, a large number of leading citizens having pledged themselves t( prevent vio lence. Eight Killed and Thirty-Five Hurt.
