The few straw bats that have ventured oat,
to date, have looked, and perhaps have
felt, somewhat out ol date. Somehow the
conditions have been snob, as Is quite unusual
at this date, as not to demand a change from
winter to summer clothing, axoept In a limited
way. The weather has been more potent
than a change of season along this line.
The very heavy rains Wednesday, and
since, till Saturday evening, gave the planting
Interests another big set back. Yet there
should beno grumbling, as he who manages
all each matters, knows best. ?"

C. shaw, in this place next Saturday, 'tbe
28tb. at 3 o'clock, p. m. All are urged to attend,
as tbe first meeting of a Democratic
club, In a campaign year, Is always an lm
portantone. -f.'.oi,1? ;
Tbe political ball has opened. Throngb-tbe
county papers of last week three of our good
men announced tbat they were wilting to ,
serve us. Clark county. Ga., Is a long way
ahead of us In this line. In that county there '
are nineteen candidates for tbe different
offices. This can be explained perhaps by ,
saying tbat the primary there comes oil In May.
whereas ours will not take plaoe till, per*

time enough for us yet, and we hope to have
a better report later on. If we bad, or have,
oar usual supply of candidates, aod they
should soon start on their "grand rounds," It
Is very bard to determine what we would feed
them on, to say nothing of the picnic folks,
and the big meeting folks, as frying sized
chickens now are, and without a bit; Improvement,
will be for some time to come,
fewer and farther between, than ever before.
Chickens anc' gardens are very backward,
0 and unless there Is a rapid improvement lu
these summer essentials, times will be hard.

FEAST OF THE PASSOYER.
This Interesting and Important Period
In tbe Jewish Year Is Now
Begun nud Continues Until Friday.
The Jewish Passover, which beean Friday,
night at sunset, will continue seven days, or
until next Friday at sunset.
Friday night the Seder service was held In
the home of every good Jew and tbe history
of the chosen people was retold.
Passover week, as does every other Jewish
observance, commemorates rome particular
portion of Biblical history that has especial
bearing on fhe Hebrews. The feast commemorates
the killing of the first born In
every Egyptian household.
It was directly after tbe seven plagues, bo
Biblical history runs, that tbe Jews were told
to beep a lamb, which was a semi-deity to tbe
Egyptians, in their houses for several days, to
demonstrate tbe contempt with which they
regarded the false god, and then kill the
animal, smearing tbe blood on their door
posts.
iv-That night the aDgel of death killed tbe first
born in all households that did not have tbe
blood on tbe door post. This blood was tbe
ign of a Jewish residence aDd tbe angel waB
to "p&88 over" all such. It was in (this
manner tbat tbe first born was spared to tbe
Jews.
After tbe service at tbe synagogue Friday
night, wbleh was the same as 1b oonducted
every Friday night, tbe Seder service was
held in all IJewlsh homes. This consisted
flrstofa feast, where tbe table was immaoulate
in its cleanliness, and on everv table was
tbesbank of a lamb, which represented the
kiiliqg of the Egyptian serai-deity.
Bitter herbs were eaten in commemoration
of the hardships placed npon tbe Jews by tbe
Egyptians and in memory of the bitterness of
thelr'oaptlvlty.. Another dish, made of frnita
shopped op very Unh and made to look like
Urartar, bat tasting very much better, was
