Pranks of Ike Li|ktnnf. Mr. John F. Cordes, of the River Bend section, was in the < Rock Hill Herald office Wednes- , day morning and related an ( incident that occurred in his neighborhood Tuesday night that might well be called miraculous. He stated that during the storm, which was pretty severe in that locality, lightning struck the house of a Mr. Wallace and created quite a stir by its mysterious capers. First it struck the kitchen flue, knocked it down, and then went down into the kitchen and, without damaging the stove in any way, broke the 1! J - I _ if - - T71 uu 01 a Keiue on tne stove. rrom there it went down through the floor, under thehou.se and split a big rock on which one corner of the house was resting. Not content with that, it proceeded back up into the house, went into the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace and struck the post at the foot of the bed on which they were lying, splitting the post half in two. From here it darted into one corner of the room and broke a jar that was on a shelf and then escaped through the fire place up the chimney. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Wallace was hurt in any way, not even being shocked. Reno Celebrate*. They had a great time in Reno the other night, says The News and Courier. Bibulously indeed did the divorce colony and the lawyers celebrate the action of the State senate in killing the proposed new divorce law. which required of those desiring to get rid of one spouse and get hold of another a year's residence in Nevada. Eleven senators refused to cripple the greatest industry in Reno and eleven was more than a majority. Particularly jubilant were the local attorneys, who reported that a large number of people in the East have only been waiting for the Legislature to act betorestarting to the Mecca of the unhappy. A Reno divorce is simply a thing of barter and sale. No justice holds it up, no morality attaches to it. On its face it is a farce, and in its effects it is disgraceful. Those who have to go to Reno to get divorces, thereby acknowledge as a general thing that there is no merit in their pleas. ?> If |t T. S. KIRKPATR1 1 fh I $+ < u 1! 4.

The shirkers carefully abstain from doing- anything to help the town and systematically oppose every project designed to benefit it. The jerkers usually are enthusiastic for awhile over any new idea, but the enthusiasm soon dies out when it is most needed. The workers deal with every project for improvement on its merits, and when it commends itself to their iudcment thev push it with all their might and intelligently until it becomes an accomplished fact. Ever alert to the best interests of their town, and imbued with true local patriotism, they are untiring in their efforts to promote its welfare. and the result is seen in growth and prosperity. It is up to every man in this and every town to decide as to the class he will join, and whether he will be a detriment or a valuable asset to the community. Old Reliable III Buggies, Surries.
