TUB DEMOCRATIC CLAIM.

Mr. Carlisle, in the October

I number of the Forum, states some

I of the reasons why the Democrat-

ic party should be continued in

power. The striking difference

between the contribution of Mr.

Cat lisle and Governor Foraker is

that the first named discusses, in a

stntesman-like-manner, political

issues and questions, unbiased by

sectionalism or partisan rancor,

and uninfluenced by arrogance and

Pharisaism, whereas Governor Fo-

raker's hatred of the South, and

waving of the bloody 3hirt, and

intolerable arrogance manifest

themselves in every lino, impress-

ing the most casual reader. We

give, in brief Mr. Carlisle's reas-

ons :

First—In the first place Mr.

Carlisle calls attention to the true

difference of opinion between the

two existing parties concerning

tho nature and extent of the Fed-

eral power under the Constitu-

tion. * * * * This differ-

ence of opinion has existed con-

tinuously since the organization

of the Government, and has al-

ways constituted, as it still does,

the most clearly defined line of

separation between political par-

ties ;n this country. ^* * *

The Republican party of "to-day is

more extravagant in its assertion

of what it calls "National author-

ity" than its Federal progenitor

was a century ago. During the

short period between the close of

the war and the year 1875, while

it controlled the legislation of

Congress, it passed a greater,

NIMUER OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL EN-,

ACTMENTS THAN CAN BE FOUND IN1

ALL THE REMAINDER OF OUR LEGIS-'

tive history." Under Republi-

can rule the President was rapidly

becoming what Patick Henry pre-

dicted be would be : "An Amer-

ican king." In 1S75 the peoplo

repudiated this tendency toward

centralized Governmeut by elect-

ing a Democratic House, and in

1876 entered another protest by

electing Tildou President. "D if,

perhaps, not going too far to say

that if the Republican party had

uot been deprived of power in the

popular branch of the legislative

department, and it the warning of

1876 had not been given by the

people, our federative system of

government would have been sub-

stantially overthrown, and the

RIGHT OF LOCAL SBLF GOVERNMENT,

WHICH LIES AT THE VERY FOUNDA-

TION OF OUR FRKE IFSTITUTION8,

would have been confined to the

narrowest possible limit."

Second—The return of the Re-

publican party would be immedi-

ately followed by an attempt to

control local elections, under tbe

pretence of seeing to it that the

negro has his vote counted.

Thu-d—During the ten

years of undisputed control of the

Federal Government "The Re-

publican party not only failed to

make any necessary reform in the

public service or to legislate for

the promotion of the general wel-

fare, but it criminally neglected

the material interests of the peo-

ple, and, in the anxiety to win the

applause and support of aggrega-

ted capital, it laid the founda-

tion for many new abuses which

have since grown to alarming pro-

portions." Among them he enu-

merates :

1. The Republican party virtu-

ally destroyed the American navy

and merchant marine.

2. It squandered the public

lands by unnecessary excessive

grants to corporations, aud by per-

mitting large and valuable tracts

of lands to be appropriated by syn-

dicates ot speculators.

3. It wasted tbe public money

by a loose and extravagant system

of expenditures which has no par-

) alle) in cur history.

4. It maintained an unequal

system of taxation, for the avow-

ed purpose of obstructing intor-

i national exchanges, and at the

same time, with glaring inconsis-

tency, it paid subsidies out of tbe

miblic treasury.

5. It employed the military to

control elections by the poople and

to oycicome the tribunals appoint-

ed by law to iiuiko ret nine.

G. It established and abolished

otirts to meet political emergen-

ies, and under the decisions of

i i responsible tribunals, paid out

'uilfioiis of dollars in claims of at

east doubti'ul validity, held by

people living in apart of the couu-

?••v where Republican votes were

sorely needed.

| 7- It habitually used official

i power for partisan purposes, and

| made its placemen an organized

| body of political serfs.

Fourth—The Democratic House

at its last session passed bills for-

feiting and restoring to the gov-

ernment, for the benefit of actual

! settlers, more than one hundred

millions acres of land. Republi-

cans wasted the public domain

and gave it to speculators.

Fifth—The Democratic party

'ought to be kept in power because

it will decrease the present tariff.

A large surplus in the Treasury is

the most dangerous corruption

i fund that can possibly menace

i the integrity of legislation. Re-

publicans are devising and advo-

cating vast schemes of spoliation

to get rid of the surplus.; Demo-

crats are devising aud advocating

a reduction of taxation. The

Democratic policy is to abolish, as

j tar as practicable, the taxes on

THE NECESSITIES OF LIKE AND ON

' TUE RAW MATERIALS USED IN' THEIR

producton, and to revise, sim-

plify, and in proper cases, reduce

the duties on other articles em-

; braced in the tariff schedules.

The Republican solution is to *

* * * retain a high rate taxa-

tion on the food, fuel and cloth-

ing ot the people, and on the

building materials, implements of

labor, medicines, and other arti-

cles that are indispensable in the

support of their families and the

prosecution of their business.

Sixth—The Democratic party

' has Introdced honesty and econo-

' my in the public expenditures.

The Republicans are responsible

j for many bureaus and depart-

I ments and subdivisions, that ooti-

(fuse the operations of govern-

ment, make the transaction of

> busines tedious aud odious to the

pooplle, and compel the retention

ot many unnecessary officials. The

Republican party cannot work the

needed reform without repudia-

ting its past policy and undoing

Its own work. This it would not

do.

Seventh—In the matter of pan-

sions, the Democratic party bus

voted liberal pensions to maimed

and disabled soldiers nud sailors

aud their widows, but it believes

there is a limit to the tax-paying

power of the poople. If the Re-

publican reckless policy of giving

to every Republican who emelt

gnu powder during the war should

prevail, it would either bankrupt

the country or subject tho people

to a burden of taxation that

would seriously cripple and em-

barrass all their industries.

Eighth—The Republican party

destroyed our navy. The Demo-

cratic party has always been the

friend of the navy and tho mer-

chant marine, and so long as it re-

mained in power the American flag

was displayed on every sea and M

every commercial port. If the

mere appropriation and expendi-

ture of money had boon all that

was necessary, the Republican par-

ty has thoroughly demonatated its

qualification for the task ; but un-

fortunately all its efforts to secure

a navy without either building

Editor Reflector :

In my letter from Atlanta,

again soon, if desired, and tell

what I saw in tho "Gate City."

At this writing the Rbflkctor

I write again and do not wait lon-

your knowledge of tinman nature,

with its weaknesses, it* foibles, its

follies and its proneness to stum-

ble and err, can yon answer in the

affirmative ? If yon can, all well

and good.' We have nothing to

say. You have a right to your

opinion. It is part ot the wise ar-

rangement of nature's plan tbat

everybody cannot see just alike—

it would cause confusion inexpres-

sible. But if you take away eith-

er good health or good sense you

will not be likely to find good tem-

per remaining. And now—to the

moral. Is it not the fault of the

mothers of our land that the

health of their daughters is so

often permanently wrecked and

destroyed ? Why do they per-

synopsis of its contents, and reques-

ted a statement from him. It is

not necessary to give his entire

reply, but th» substance of it was :

"Progress m*j have been joking

but I meant every word that I

amid. That is a nice way the

Progress has to get out ot the box

into which it baa placed itself. I

have no patience with any such

child's play. • • • The Prog-

ress since its inception has seemed

disposed to act unfairly and unpro

fessionally The Gazette ban studi-

ously avoided any controversy and

has spoken only when forbearance

ceased to be a virtne and has not

a word to retract. Progress has

taken frequent occasion to misrep-

resent and to make flings at the

mit dissipations in so many ways— Gazette without provocation. There

Three Requirements to Wed-

ded Bliss.

Not long since one of Green-

ville's young men, who is by-the-

way, contemplating matrimony, in

conversation mentioned a book on

•'matrimony" whioh he was very

desirous of procuring for the ex-

ceedingly able and excellent ad-

vice it had been represented to

him to contain. A gentleman,

whose fame in his profession has

gone beyond the borders of his

adopted county, scaled, the Blue

Ridge in its unchecked flight and

spread all over the Union—a ripe

scholar, a keen observer of human

nature, a polished gentleman, a

man who loves to alleviate human

suffering and distress and misery,

who has the heart to love and pity

and yet finds room for the essence

of chivalry from the knightly days

of yore, one of nature's true noble-

men—in short, one to whom you

can point and say : "Behold !

this is a man," was standing by

and remarked : "My son. when

you seek a wife take this advice.

It may seem very simple ; but it

is none the less effective, and

worth more than all the books ev-

er written. Find a woman who

possesses these three things, good

health, good sense and good tem-

per. If you find such, there is no

doubt about your earthly happi-

ness"

This has put us to thinking over

the matter, and we conclude that,

In our day, such attributes are

hard to rind linked together. And

it is no slander on our fair young

ladies to say this. If a woman

possesses the first two qualities

mentioned the third follows most

naturally. There is nothing more

difficult than to preserve, at all

times, a calm, unruffled temper

when the body is being tortured

and racked by terrible pain and suf-

fering the ni06t intense agony.

Good sense is forgotten, or does

not weigh at all in such an in-

stance. Now when we think of

the first requisite this young man

must seek for—good health—we

come to the conclusion very quick-

ly that it is a rare thing. Good

health ! How many young ladies

are there in the town of Greenville

whose health, is perfect ? Of

course "good health" in its limited

sense and translated closely means

perfect health. And now how

many marriageble young ladies are

there in Greenville, who never

complain «f any physical discom-

fort ? Iu conversation we asked

this question and the answer came

back—TWO. And we cannot add

to the number, though the death

rate ot Greenville is lower than

anyplace in North Uarolina.and we

have as many healthy young ladies,

in the broad general acceptation of

the term as any town in the State.

S» the first requisite will be hard

to find. And the eecond ? Well,

we daie not say anything about

that. A puling sentimentalist

may say all are possessed of "good

sense," and there is a spirit of sick-

dissipation in dress, in habits, in

eatiig, in sleeping, in studying, in

dancing, tbat as surely impairs the

health of their daughters as

frost kills the forest leaves m the

autumn. Is it not from a good-

ness of heart, in most cases, and

not wilful negligence ? We think

bo, but it is none the less a crying

evil. Slavery to the plumed god-

dess, Fashion, does more than any

one cause that comes to our

mind just now. Let the mothers

of the land dress their children as

common 6ense would dictate and

have done with what Fashion

says and the health of their chil-

dren will be better iu proportion

as they act. With the foundation

for good health thus laid good

sense and good temper follows as

readily and surely as night follows

day. The mother that has the

strength of character and good

sense to dress her daughter com-

fortably in defiance of fashion and

social forms will surely instill in

the minds of those daughters eve-

ry principle that goes to make

good sense. Then good temper

is w a 11 i n g—nay, is already

a willing and eager attendant at

the shrine of perfection—or as

near perfection as can be attained

on earth. Young man, you need

not think you are searching for

that which does not exist. Such

young ladies are in existence ; but

what we want to say is that these

mnst marry and die and there are

fewer still to take their places.

A Card from the Progress.

In a recent issue of the Rep lec-

tor there appeared an editorial

quoting with severe comment a

paragraph from the Progress. To

say that the whole tone, spirit and

severity of the editorial surprised

us would be a mild expression of

its effects. It was and will re-

main a puzzle. Our remark was,

on its very face, a manifest jest, a

very broad jest, and how the Re-

flector could fail to recognize it

as such passes our comprehension.

We offered that playful explana-

tion of the Gazette's improvement

with the kindest feeling and with-

out the slightest taint of arrogance;

but if sportive remarks are to be

construed in sober earnest and one

is to be pilloried for a mere joke,

then no man's character will be

s?.fe.

Moreover during our receut

running banter with the Gazette,

to which the Reflector refers

somewhat bitterly and contemptu-

ously its editor and we were on

the best of terms, sitting regularly

together and "eating salt" at the

same table thrice a day—and more

than all this we were actually

partners in the Gazette property

owning the paper iomtly. These

circumstances were all well known

here and no one would have dream-

ed of interposing with such seri-

ous and determined front intoonr

"controversy." While we have

no objection in the world to the

Reflector'? tribute to the editor

of the Gazette—a tribute which We

freely endorse, at the same time it

would have been more than kind,

generous and just to have bestow

ed it without such uncalled for,

extravagant and unmerited re-

proach to us. Very respectfully

W. K. Jacobson.

Of all the weak, nonsensical ar

guments we have lately perused

was no understanding between us

in this matter and every word the

Gazette has said was meant in toto.

And in all this Progress is "only

jssting."

So far as Mr. Jacobson's part

ownership of the Gazette is con-

cerned the "figure head" portion

in order tbat a sale might be effect-

ed, has long since been explained

to us, and that will not do to hide

his "jeatiugs" behind. However,

what we said was not intended

for Mr. Jacobson, but for the

Progress, as we never knew he was

editing the Progress, nor would his

name be mentioned here were it

not for the fact of its being sign-

ed to the card accusing the Re-

flector of littleness and contempt.

We will only add tbat if the

Progresshas any more jesting to

do it had better select some other

point than the Reflector from

which to radiate.

of Patents shows that the defal-

question is whether his sureties

are responsible for more than tbat

Washington Letter.

Special cor. to Reflector.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 15th, '87

Heretofore, your correspondent

has written of tho manifesto of

Civil Service Commissioner Ober-

ly against the organization of the

Federal employees into political as-

sociations, and also of the tempora-

ry commotion caused by the com-

munication, which was swiftly suc-

ceeded by a sentiment of stern

defiance. This feeling has found

further expression in the forma-

tion of a new political club, called

"The National Democratic Associ-

ation," with an influential mem-

bership from every State or Terri-

tory of the Union, which it is

proposed to extend to each Con-

gressional District of the United

States. The Association is repre-

sentative in character, and purpo-

ses to make its influence and use-

fulness felt by the dissemination of

sound Democratic doctrine and in-

formation among the masses of

the party every where.

So then, it seems the ukase of

the Commissioner was a blessing

in disguise, whatever may have

been its true purpose, for it goes

without saying that the National

Democratic Association will be a

powerful factor for good in the

uext Presidential contest.

There are three vacancies in the

Fiftieth Congress, one of them

being ot National importance, as

it involves the political attitude

ot the State of Rhode Island in

the event of the failure of the

people to choose a President in

1888. At the first election held

nearly a year ago, there was no

election—neither candidate hav-

ing a majority of all votes cast—

though Judge Bradley, the Dem-

ocrat nominee, was in the lead. A

second election will be held next

month, and there is every indica-

tion of Democratic victory, as they

have renominated Bradley, and a

plurality will elect next time. Re-

publican defeat would mean their

inability to win the Presidency in

case the choice should devolve up-

on the House ot Representatives

—the Republicans only lacking

one of having a majority -of the

States.

Among the measures that will

be presented for the consideration

of the next Congress are seven

new pension bills, prepared by

representatives of the Grand Ar-

my of the Republic, and embody-

ing relief for all veterans who act-

ually saw service, or tor their le-

gal representatives. I fear that

President Cleveland will again be

the country's only safeguard

against a depleted Treasury. But

if occasion should require, it is ev-

ident that his courage and sense

of duty will be equal to the emer-

gency.

What Thin* You

An industrial issue of the Re-

flector of several thousand copies,

eight pagea in 6ize, woald be an

immense advertisement for Green-

ville, by making known to the

world the advantages of this sec-

tion. We are contemplating such

a publication. It can be done eas-

ily it the business men of the

town will give the movement

proper aid. We want them to

think about it for the present and

before a great while we will pay

them a call upon this subject.

Don't Wait.

We dislike to be continually

dunning persons who owe us, and

hope to get through this fall with

as little of that unpleasant duty

as possible. At the same time we

need the money that is due and

want those indebted to come for-

ward like men and settle. A strict-

ly honest man—and of course the

names of no others are on the Re-

flector books—should not wait to

be told the second time of a debt

when he is able to pay it.

honest, gentiemenly aud straight-

forward dealers can be found any-

whero than those whose names

make this assertion because they

HuTah for Pitt!

Our county came off with tho

honors at Henderson's big tobacco

break Ia9t Friday. Mr. G. F. Ev-

ans, of this township, had his crop

there and it was the finest tobac-

co on the floor. He took the first

prize which was a nice wagon.

His crop from two acres brought

$IU0. A correspondent from Hen-

derson to the Raleigh News and

Observer says •

"Today witnessed the formal

op-3/iing of Cooper's new brick

warehouse, the largest in the

State. The sale is said to be the

largest ever made in Henderson

by a single warehouse iu one day.

There were more than twelve hun-

dred piles of tobacco upon the

floor from fifteen counties in

North Carolina and Viginia. The

finest tobacco on the iloor was

from l'itt county and sold for

$1.50 per pound. G. F. Evans,

Esq., who raised it, was tho recip-

ient of many hearty congratula-

tions. He bore his honors with

becoming modesty, and showed

himself a true son of l'itt by re-

joicing more in the distinction

won for his county than in Ins

own achievement."

At the residence of bis sister

Mrs. (Jelina Nobles on Tuesday

evening Oct. 4th 1887, Mr. Wil-

liam U. Clark from heart disease.

His affections were borne with

Christian submission, never mur-

niering the least, during his sick-

ness, lie was a soldier in the late

war, was captured by the enemy

at Haddock's X roads, carried to

Point Look Out, and imprisoned a

period of eleven months, during

which time he suffered greatly

from the effects of bath cold and

hunger. He was never married,

did not belong to any Church, but

always took a delight in reading

his Bible, and had somewhat nat-

ural propensity for the Free Will

Baptist. He was born in Chicod

township, Pitt county, Feb'y. 8th

1822. A good man has passed

away. N.

I wonder when that day will be.

When Death shall come to tell to me,

The Story that we all must hear!

When, with the alienee drawing near

I feel my bold on earth so weak

My pale lips have no power to speak

Of anguish or of ecstasy.

Ah, lowly boase the grasses under,

When will ye ope to welcome me

Your silent guest to be, I wonder *

I wonder if it will be spring,

When o'er my head the birds will sing

Their first sweet song not set to words?

And which of all the many birds

Will be the first to carol there,

When, I forever done with care.

Just like a child tired out at play,

Sleep all the night and all the day,

So peacefully my green roof under,

Will it be autumn-time or May,

Winter or summer time, I wonder?

I wonder if 1 shall be glad

To leave the path I long- have had ?

Or, if from friends who love me so,

But with reluctance I shall go?

Go out upon that journey long

So voiceless I shall sing no song.

Ah, chain of life's fair wrap and, woof

When will your bright links drop as-

sunder ?

When will I sleep beneath the roof

Thatched with the violets, I wonder?

yet the "first lady in the land" is

not arrayed like onto him. lie

liveth not by work, but by his

wits, and the dining-room of his

acquaintance is suffering the

pangs of poverty when he faileth

to get a square meal. He maketh

love unto the fair daughter of some

wealthy citizen, and if she smil-

eth upon him,it meaneth a month's

board. But after a while his

welcome waneth, for behold the

maiden smileth not, and her pa-

tient father introduceth the man

of cheek to that portion of a tan

yard worn upon the foot, and he

sqr.ealeth a mighty squeal, and he

goeth off limping and rubbing the

sitting-down portion of his anato-

my and he wendeth his way to a

convenient barroom, and there he

telleth of his woes, and Moth in

wait for some simple imaded citi-

zen, with more money than dis-

cretion, to come along, for then

he knoweth he will be invited to

refresh himself, aud he jjoeth in

and filleth himself with soothing

syrup., At churches, places of

amusement and at meetings of all

kinds, the man of cheek is present,

but be payeth nothing but calls

and compliments, and he would

not pay them if they were to cost

any money, for it would cause him

to vomit with a great vomit to

pay for the smallest article, for

verily he carrieth no money in his

pockets—for he hath none to car-

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liv-

er is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good

nature.

The human digestive apparatus is one

of the most complicated and woncierful

things in existence. It is easily put out

of order.

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,

bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,

irregular habits, and many other things

which ought not to be, have made the

American people a nation of dyspeptics.

meals and be happy.

True.

The Baltimore Manufacturers

Record whose advertising Patron-

age yields an annual income of $60

000 every year pertinently says:

There is no better investment

that the people of any live town

can make than to secure first class

live papers by heartily encour-

aging their publishers with bus-

ness. A town is judged by its pa-

pers, and few out-siders will ever

be drawn to a town where tbe local

papers show, by the lack of well

filled advertising columns, the

want of energy of the people of

that place.

Southern papers are doing a

great work for their country. In its

development they are taking the

lead, and they are exerting such

a mighty force for the uplifting

of the people by steadily and per-J

sisten tly lighting for the right and

striving to encourage all classes to

n m te to pushing on the great prog-

ress of that section as to attract

universal attention. Free to a

large extent from sensational

trash and particulars of all the

latest scandals, the press of the

South have bent their whole en-

ergy since 1865 to improve the

material interests of that section.

They have sowed, but others have

reaped the profits. Certainly,

with the improving financial con-

dition of the South, the time has

come when every well-edited and

well managed Southern paper

should have its columns well filled

with local advertisements at good

prices. Let special issues teeming

with good descriptions of towns

and tilled with advertisements

of every business house be scatter-

ed all over the North and West

this winter and, good results will

as sorely follow as that harvest

follows the seed time. Bot this

costs money, and this money must

be furnished by the real estate

owners and agents, merchants, pro-

fessional men, and, in fact, by ev-

ery one interested in tbe prosper-

ity of their section.

Farm and Fireside.

Girls admitted to the Iowa Ag-

ricultural Colfege are tanght all

sorts of queer and absurd things.

For instance, tbe authorities there

have the funny notion that girls

ought to know how to cook! Ev-

ery girt in tbe junior class has

learned how te make bread;

weiging and measuring her ingre-

dients, mixing and kneading and

baking, and regulating her fire.

Each has also been taught to make

yeast aud bake biscuit, pudding,

pie and cake of various kinds ;

how to cook a roast, to broil a

steak and make a fragrant cup of

coffee ; how to stuff a turkey,

make oyster soup, prepare stock

for other soups, steam and math

potatoes so that they will melt in

the mouth, and, in short, to get

up a first class meal, combining

both substantial and fancy dishes,

in good style. Theory and manu-

al skill have gone band-in-band.

Vast stores of learning have been

accumulated in the arts of can-

ning, preserving and pickling

fruit, and they have taken practi-

cal lessons in all tbe details of

household management, such as

! house furnishing, care of beds and

bedding, washing aud ironing,

care of the sick, and numerous

other things. It is not stated

whether girls are taugbt bow to

get up in the morning and build

tires, bot no doubt such a useful

branch of information receives tbe

attention its importance demands.

Two Tributes to Autumn.

This is the delicious season when

tbe golden sunshine sleeps in the

meshes of the Autumn haze; when

the merry youth and maiden hie

them away to the gorgeously ap-

pareled woods and eat enough

chestnut worms in one morning to

keep a flock ot ''yaller hammers"

for a week.—Wilson Mirror.

The year is fast fading. The

leaves are turning and tailing; the

mornings and evenings grow stead-

ily chillier ; rusty stove are being

brushed up, and put up ; oyster

signs are swinging in the breezes ;

ice cream is done for ; light clothes

have been whistled in ; the birds

are settling their affai.-s preparato-

ry to their Southern flight; little

boys are putting on their shoes and

forsaking the swimming grounds

of Spring and Summer—and in tbe

country "pumpkin pies" are on

deck.—Goldsboro Argus.

These Mornings.

Wilson Mirror.

For several days we have been

rising early and we find there is

nothing on earth liko the aweet

hours of morning. It is the youth

of the day ; and childhood of all

things is beautiful. The freshness

—the unpolluted freshness of in-

fancy hangs about the early mo-

ments of the dawn ; the air seems

to breathe of innocence and troth;

the very light is instinct with

youth, and speaks of hope. Who

is there that loves beauty and

brightness and doe* not enjoy the

early hours of morning.

Talking slang.

Praising yourself.

Wearing tight shoes.

Tramping for a living.

Borrowing nowspapers.

Getting mad at nothing.

Living beyond your income.

Sleeping away tbe early morn-

ing hours.

Hunting for white handed em-

ployment.

Counting your money before it

is made.

Trying to do business without

advertising.

Marrying a man for his splendid

mustache.

Endorsing notes for friend? and

acquaintances.

Marrying a woman because she

has a pretty face. ,

Playng the galant to every wo-

man but your wife.

Expecting to have money with-

out working for it.

Wasting yonr smiles on every

man but your husband.

Loaning an umbrella without

bidding it an eternal adieu.

Exposing your ignorance by pre-

tending to know everything.

Getting married in life's haste,

and repenting at dead leisure.

Judging a mau by the cut of bis

coat, or a woman by the shade of

her complexion.

Envying other people their

wealth when you migbt be hoard-

ing a pile up for yourself.

Falling in love with a woman's

hair or teeth before you know

Farmers, raise your wheat, your

sorghum, your meat, your bread,

your fodder and hay, . and even

make your clothing if you would

prosper and be happy. Raise eve-

ry thing you use—your stock, your

milk, your butter, your honey,

your mules and horses. Do this

and you will be on the road to in-

dependence, as sure as two and

two make four, or as the sun rises,

or as slipping off a log.—Elizabeth

TALLEST "PEOPLE LAZY.

Why are the tallest people the laziest ?

They arc longer In bed than others, and

if they neglect their coughs or colds they

will be there still longer- Use Taylor's

Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and

Mullein.

The New York papers say that

the many thousand Southern mer-

chants who have visited that place

this fall to purchase goods "all

agree that never at any time in

the past has there been such an

area of wide spread prosperity

among their people as is exhibited

now." This is owing as well to

good aud abundant crops as to the

hundreds of new successful busi-

nessindu8tries started in the South.

—Raleigh Evening Visitor.

health. They arc much more subjected

to cold than men, and should be careful

to protect themselves, but If they contract

a cough or cold they should take Taylor's

I wonder when that day will be,

When Death shall come to tell to me,

The Story that we all must hear?

When, with the alienee drawing neat

I leel my bold on earth so weak

My pale lips nave no power to speak

Of anguish or of ecstasy.

Ah. lowly house the grasses under,

When will ye ope to welcome me

Tour silent guest to be, I wonder ?

I wonder if it will be spring,

When o'er my head the birds will sing

Their first sweet song not set to words?

And which of all the many birds

Will be the first to carol there.

When, I forever done with care.

Just like a child tired out at play.

Sleep all the night and all the day,

So peacefully my green roof under.

Will it be autumn-time or May,

Winter or summer time, I wonder?

I wonder III shall be glad

To leave the path I long have had ?

Or, If from friends w 10 love me so,

But with reluctance I shall go?

Go out upon that journey long

So voiceless I shall sing no song.

All, chain of life's fair wrap and, woof

When will your bright links drop as-

sunder ?

When will I sleep beneath the roof

Thatched with the violets, I wonder?

The Manjrf "Cheek".

Orange (Va.) Observer.

Reader, bast thou seen the man

of cheek, plated with brasa ? He

toilcth nor, neither doth he spin

—anything except yarns about his

own wonderful achievements—

yet the "first lady in the land" is

not arrayed like unto him. He

liveth not by work, but by his

wit6, and the dining-room of his

acquaintance is suffering the

pangs of poverty when he faileth

to get a square meal. He maketh

love unto the fair daughter of some

wealthy citizen, and if she smil-

eth upon him,it meanetb a month's

board. But after a while his

welcome waneth. for behold the

maiden smileth not, and her pa-

tient father introduceth the man

of cheek to that portion of a tan

yard worn upon the foot, and he

sqr.ealeth a mighty squeal, and be

goeth ofl' limping and rubbing the

sitting-down portion of his anato-

my and he wendeth his way to a

convenient barroom, and there he

telleth of his woes, and lieth in

wait for some simple minded citi-

zen, with more money than dis-

cretion, to come along, for then

he knoweth he will be invited to

refresh himself, aud he goeth in

and tilleth himself with soothing

syrup.. At churches, places of

amusement and at meetings of all

kinds, the man of cheek is present,

but be payetb nothing but calls

and compliments, and he would

not pay them if they were to cost

any money, for it would cause him

to vomit with a great vomit to

pay for the smallest article, for

verily he carnetb no money in his

pockets—for he hath none to car-

ry-

Farm and Fireside.

Girls admitted to the Iowa Ag-

ricultural College are taught all

sorts of queer and absurd things.

For instance, the authorities there

have the funny notion that girls

ought to know how to cook! Ev-

ery girl in the junior class has

learned how to make bread ;

weiging and measuring her ingre-

dients, mixing and kneading and

baking, and regulating her fire.

Each has also been taught to make

yeast and bake biscuit, pndding,

pie and cake of various kinds ;

how to cook a roast, to broil a

steak and make a fragrant cup of

coffee ; how to stuff a turkey,

make oyster soup, prepare stock

for other soups, steam aud mash

potatoes so that they will melt in

the month, and, in short, to get

np a first class meal, combining

both substantial mid fancy dishes,

in good style. Theory and manu-

al skill have goue hand-in-hand.

Vast stores of learning have been

accumulated in the arts of can-

ning, preserving and pickling

fruit, and they have taken practi-

cal lessons in all the details of

household management, such as

house furnishing, care of beds and

bedding, washing and ironing,

care of the sick, and numerous

other things. It is not stated

whether girls are taugbt bow to

get up in the morning and build

fires, but no doubt each a useful

branch of information receives the

attention its importance demands.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liv-

er is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good

nature.

The human digestive apparatus is one

of the most complicated and wonderful

things in existence. It is easily put out

of order.

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,

bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,

irregular habits and many other things

which ought not to be, have made the

American people a nation of dyspeptics.

But Green's August Flower has done a

wonderful work in reforming thi. sad

business and making the American pe>>-

ple so healthy that they can enjoy their

meals and be happy.

Remember :—No happiness without

health. But Green's August Flower

The Baltimore Manufacturers

Record whose advertising Patron-

age yields an annual income of $60

000 every year pertinently sajs:

There is no better investment

that the people of any live town

can make than to secure first class

live papers by heartily encour-

aging their publishers with bus-

ness. A town is judged by its pa-

pers, and few out-aiders will ever

be drawn to a town when, the local

papers show, by the lack of well

filled advertising columns, the

want of energy of the people of

that place.

Southern papers are doing a

great work for their country. In its

development they are taking the

lead, and they are exerting such

a mighty force for the uplifting

of the people by s'eadily and per-J

sistently fighting for the right and

striving to encourage all classes to

nnite in poshing on the great prog-

ress of that section as to attract

universal attention. Free to a

large extent from sensational

trash and particulars of all the

latest scandals, the press of the

South have bent their whole en-

esgy since 1865 to improve the

material interests of that section.

They have sowed, but others have

reaped the profits. Certainly,

«ith the improving financial con-

dition of the South, the time has

come when every we'l-edited and

well managed Southern paper

should have its columns well filled

leaves are turning and tailing; the

mornings and evenings grow stead-

brushed up, and put up ; oyster

signB are swinging in the breezes ;

ice cream is done for ; light clothes

have been whistled in ; the birds

Wilson Mirror.

For several days we have been

rising early and we find there is

nothing on earth like the sweet

hours of morning. It is the youth

of the day ; and childhood of all

things le beautiful. The freshness

—the unpolluted freshness of in-

fancy hangs about the early mo-

ments of the dawn ; the air stems

to breathe of innocence and truth:

the very light is instinct with

youth, and speaks of hope. Who

is there that loves beaety and

brightness and doss not enjoy the

early hours of morning.
