"But vl.at effect does it have on ,672d year of the Hebrews. The celebration begins on Friday evening and lasts through Saturday for the reformed Jews; through Sunday for the orthodox Jews. Rosh Hashana touches the hearts of the children of Israel as does no ether of the festivals and holidays. It is known as the day of che blow ing of the trumpets, which is also the seventh new moon of the Hebrew cal endar. The blowing of the trumpet is a reminder to the Israelite that a new period of time is begun. It is a day of memorial, when Israel feels himself held by God in remembrance. The Biblical basis for the observ ance of the first day of Tiahri as a New Year's day and the most solemn day of the Jewish calendar next to Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atone ment, is found in the reference to Kikkaron ("memorial day") in Levi ticus xxlii, 24, which reads: "In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Babbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation." Ezra also refers to the day as one "holy to the Lord." Ten days from the New Year the Day of Atonement is observed. i .Julia Academy Locals. Every body is busy picking cotton around here now, and Mr. Eldridge Sharp says he has made the most to be picked. Rev. and Mrs. Posey dined at Prof. Schvenberg's Tuesday. Miss Katherine Toale gave a party on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 6, in honor of her cousin, Richard Con van, from New York. After spending his vacation at home Prof. K. R. Schoenberg has re turned to his school at Iva where he taught last year. i.\lr. Jimmie Boles is spending a few days at Abbeville. We hear Mr. Morgan West is go ing to move to his new home, but sincerely hope it will not necessitate his losing interest in our school as he has been one of our best workers. All are glad school time has re turned, but sorry to give up the fol lowing young ladies who have been so helpful to our Literary Society, Misses Nessie Boles, Meta Sawyer, Beulah Vann. Mrs. OUie Schvenberg accompani ed by Miss Annie Eliza Jones and two children have made a most pleas ant visit to Goodland Swamp, while there they attended a meeting of their Local Improvement Associa tion, Mrs. Schvenberg thinks they are quite alive to the work, the young people espesialiy having already done well and are still pressing on to ac complish greater things. Our last regular meeting was very interesting the program was good and well rendered. We think it is remarkable the in terest that Mrs. I.Morgan, an old lady ninety-two years old takes in her school, she has been donating to ward it for quite awhile and not long since she gave the preparing of a white quilt to the Improvement As sociation to dispose of in anyway they chose. (?omilicnces Business, The Farmers Hank and Trust Com pany, St. Matthews new bank, com menced business on Friday. This makes the third hank for St. Mat thews. T'.ie sisterhood of financial institutions, according to seniority, J is: the St. Matthews Savings Bank, capital $SO,000; the Home bank, cap-1 ital $25,000; Farmers' Hank and ^rust company, capital $25,000. The selling price of the stock in the two first named banks being at high pre mium and the heavy deposits that they carry would indicate that the new bank willl find plenty of patro nage without proving an injury to the interests of the older institutions. Hanging Badly Needed. No less than five murders have been committed in this county in the last month. This is an awful record and calis for a hanging or sev eral of them. All the parties that committed these killings are in jail, and will be tried at the next court. Seme thing should be done to stop the carnival of blood that overruns the county.
