News Notes and Items of General
Interest.
Clifton, Jan. 4.—Christmas holi
days passed with very little excite
ment or merriment. The occasion
was observed with more quietude
than is often shown to Sunday in
such places as this. Visiting and fes
tivity were the principal features
and as a general rule .good dinners
were abundant. One remarkable
fact in connection with the occasion
was, there was very little drunken
ness and disorder. And now, as it
has become a thing of the past, all
persons have resumed their occupa
tions (all who had any) and have
gone to work “like they mean it.”
Mr. Ed. Hughes and MBss Ada
Cudd were happily united In that
bond which no man may sever, on
Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd. inst.
Rev. T. H. Harrison officiating.
iA little one year older, visitor
from the country, on Sunday last,
cot so mad over some affront that he
"caught his breath,” and held it so
long a time that he found quite a
difficulty in regaining it gain when
he got ready to breathe. It was
once thought thfet he was beyond
recovery, but finally he rallied. At
last accounts ho hadn’t tried that
plan of retaliation again.
On Monday night last, the 31st
ult, a number of young ladies got
the key of the Baptist church, ami
went at midnight to ’’ring out the old
and ring in the new,” and they rang
such a long and deafening toll that
it caused a considerable yarm to
some unaware of their intention
and some went to the church to learn
what was on fire.
The citizens of Clifton and of the
vicinity have petitioned the legisla
ture (or will at. its next meeting) to
pass a “marriage license law,” for
this State. This, we think, is taking
a step in the right direction, provid
ed it is strictly enforced. People are
beginning to see that marriage is be
coming a children’s playng. and the
sooner some measure is talsen to pre
vent such shameful intrusion upon
that holy and honorable institution;
the more good may lie expected to lie
derived from it.
Mr. W. J Goforth is lying very
sick at tills time, but with what dis
ease lie is afllieted we are unable to
-tate. But for him we wisli a speedy
recover.
Rev. T H. Harrison got rather a
heavy "pounding” from the generous

official, “used to have a bad name,
indeed, in respect to accidents. No

himself with an accident policy of in

“The famous Dr. Norman Macleod
was once about to set off on a long
journey through the Scotch country.
Just as the train was pulling out the
clergyman's servant put his head
through the window and asked:
“ 'Ha’e ye ta’en an insurance tick

TOMATO CAN IN DIPLOMACY.
Kaocked OC Jap Frofmaor’a 811k Hat
«nd Nearly Embroiled Natloaa.
The boy who threw a tomato can
and thereby created an International
incident has been found, says a San
Francisco special dispatch to the New
York Times. He is Sidney Marks of
San Francisco, formerly a special de
livery postal messenger. It was Sid
ney who threw the tin can which
knocked the silk hat from the head of
Professor Omori. That incident came
to the knowledge of President Roose
velt and, It is understood in San Fran-
cisco, was the circumstance which de
cided him to let the Japanese para
graphs la his message stand against
protests by many of his advisers.
Professor Omori, who is one of the
most distinguished of living seismolo
gists, was studying tbe results of the
earthquake near the San Franelseo
postofflee when the tomato can. aim
ed with perfect accuracy, knocked bis
hat off. It was known that the can
was thrown by one of a number of
boys in the employ of the postofflee
who had stopped the professor. The
postal superintendent called the boys
together and ordered them to tell who
was the culprit. Each professed ab
solute Ignorance of the affair. Tbe
superintendent then adopted more sub
tle means of getting at the truth. He
told the boys to write the name of the
offender on slips of paper, which were
deposited in a hat. With complete
unanimity the boys named Marks. He
saw what was coming and wrote hi*
own name on the slip which had been
handed to him. Thereupon he was
bounced.
Sidney’s own account of the incident
! Is interesting, not only as history of
I the Japanese-American trouble, but
! also because It furnishes material for
philologists who are interested in the
1 comparative slang of the Atlantic and
! tin* Pacific coasts. By way of ex
planatory preface it should be set forth
that "Skippie” is an epithet applied to
a Japanese in San Francisco.
| Sidney says:
! “It was this way. Th^ro was a bunch
| of us out behind the postofflee, when one
of the gang yells: •]•!).• thi fldppi* Ufiucf
the dicer! Let’s souk 'iin!' We let loose
for fair, me to be tho lucky boy. I bounc-
| ed a can off his sky piece, ijc was sure
sore. But wo sent him down the alley
i after the naughty hoy who did u«n,
wrong. 1 ginss tho naughty boy thing
did not go with the «kipple. 'cause Mr.
; Fisko called ns up and gave a chance
! to tell who did it.
“Say. tho way the gang came through
at flist was great—nothin' dntn*. Then
, Mr. Fiske he so* . aeh kid must write the
i name of the om ".ho humped the skippie
i on a piece of paper and put it In a hut.
j Now, the right frame up was for no
name, Hoe? But I spots a couple of
the candy boys gottln’ cold foot, and It’s
me Johnny Wise that I'm for a throw
down. I coppers tho bet with my own
slg on my paper. Soo?
“Say, do you know what was In that
hat? Little Sidney was a redhot favor
ite with every vote. That guess 1 laid on
the candy boys’ foot saved my reputation,
and I was due for the can anyhow. Say,
didn't the president put mo name in his
message after I done something td give
him a chance to talk? No? That's pret
ty punk. Isn't It?”

How to Avoid Distress and Indigo*,
tion After Eating.
Let us tell you how you can enjoy
a good dinner, so that the heartiest
meal will set well on your stomach
j and cause no unpleasant and diagree
able after effects.
We will show you how to regain
the appetite of your childhood and
the enjoyment of food, so that it. will
taste as well as when mother cooked
tire dinner.
There is no hard work necessary
to do this; no need of a rigid and
self-denying diet list: no call for
nasty and disagreeable medicines
Simply take a Ml o-na stomach tablet
before each meal and before going to
bed. and it. will so strengthen the |
stomach that, before long a hearty |
meal will give you gratification and i
comfort, without the least fear of dis
tress and suffering.
The strongest proof we can offer!
of our faith in this advice, is the fact
that the Gaffney Drug Co. give an !
absolute, unqualified guarantee (ap
plying to two 50c boxes of Mi-o-na),
that your money will be refunded tin
less Mi-o-na cures. A guarantee like j
this gives you confidence in Mi-o-na.
The Gaffney Drug Co. take the whole
risk, and the remedy will not cost i
you a penny unless it cures.
Mi o-na is nor a mere digestive, giv !
j ing only temporary relief, hut a
; specific for all diseases of the stom-

Tall llulldliiK tmased
Her Nerve.
Rockefeller, the beautiful
of John 1). Rockefeller’s
nephew and daughter of President
Stillman of the City National bank In
New York, astonished workmen on her
husband’s half million dollar residence
at Greenwich, Conn., the other day by
climbing a tall ladder to inspect the in
terior work at the top story, says the
New York American.
There are no stairways as yet, hut
this did not worry her. Without hesi
tating, she gathered her skirts and as
cended a perpendicular ladder. Sailor
never went rp a ship’s rigging swifter,
more gracefully or with less fear. A
smile parted her lips, and her cheeks
were flushed, but there was nothing
else to indicate consciousness of hav
ing performed anything out of the or
dinary.
After looking over tiie job she de
scended face forward. Tiie men were
amazed at her nerve.
