The Waukulla Times, published in

An aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. JTnvlor,

Robert and Alfred, running as rival

Ai.FRisn Tayi.oU, tiie republican nomi

8am. Jones comes to the surface with
the following: “You can't stand around

are no preachers there.
A YotiNo man whose time hangs heav

The New York .aldermen sent a wreath

hints like that in regard to the tempera

Gen. A. M. M aMihaci.t, of Georgetown,
S. C., who was nominated recently to fill
his fourth term as adjutant general of the
state, died suddenly on Tuesday evening.
He was sixty-two years old and was a
veteran of the Mexican war as well us
the lule war. He was loved, honored
and respected throughout the state. Ife

earth.
of the OekolockoiK
greased his slices and set out to visit the
editor of the Waukulla Times.
And yet the very next day tiie
event was published. And then they all
knew it. Oh! what a power, what an
institution, the press of tiie country is for
the spread of virtue, intelligence, and
“Fnrle Sampson Roddenberry’s” little
visits among the hoys. While the tidings j 0t . t5on to „ joint canvass.’
of this visit of “Uncle Sampson Kodden- '
berry’s" to tiie editor of the Waukulla
Times is exciting the country far and
near, we would like to take the venerable
visitor, “Sampson Hodden B.,” out be
hind the smokehouse and pilaster him
over with a few hints about how to pay
a visit to an editor. “Uncle Sampson It.
Berry” is evidently a new hand at visit
ing editors, for it got found out on him
the first time ho did it. And then tiie
last sentence in the paragraph quoted
above hints at a rather scandalous con
clusion in regard to the venerable “Uncle
Sampson Koddenbcrry, of the Ockolock-
onec country.” The sentence quoted
tells the old man to "remember” that the
latch string “hangs on the outside,” etc.
Now, wliut must have been the old
man’s condition when he left the
office of the Waukulla Times, if he
couldn’t recollect on which side the door
the latch string was hanging, and that
necessitated the editor’s giving him the
information through (lie columns of his
widely-circulating journal. They evi
dently had a birthday party or had col
lected a year’s subscription or something
like that in the office of the Waukulla
Times t lie day “Uncle Sampson Rodden-
berry, from the Oekolockonee oountry,”
got there all the same. At any rate,
when a white-haired deacon with a clean
record and stiff knee like “Uncle Samp
son” comes out of a newspaper office at 5
o’clock in the evening with one ear in
his beaver hat and the other on his
shoulder shuffling the back-step) at short
intervals as he worm-fences his way
toward home, and singing “Rock Along
’Liza June,” the natural inference is tliat
there has been a high-uptime inside the
office. As we were saying, after “Uncle
Sampson” gets sober land remem
bers well enough to swear to it which
side of tlie door the latch-string hangs
on, we would like to give him some
pointers on how to pay n visit to a news
paper office. Uncle Sampson, when you
powder up and light out to pay a visit to
a newspaper office, why pay all along the
route. Pay your way on tlie train; pay
your last year’s subscription when you
get there ; pay your respects to the editor
by asking him to go out and have some
thing—don't stay in the olfico and drink
up liis'n, like you did in the Waukulla
Times office the other day, and then
leave so sewn up that you didn’t know
the latch-string of (lie office door from
the solar system. No, "Uncle Sampson
Roddenherrv from the Oekolockonee
country,” don’t, whatever you do, don’t.
Henry Wattkrson, editor of the Cou
rier-Journal, is now traveling in Europe
in great style and turning up his nose at
the mossy and ancient architecture and
institutions of the mother country. Has
Henry forgotten the time, twelve years
ago, when lie and a hunch of brother
Louisvillains went five hundred miles
from home and bet every cent they had
on a Louisville horse, named Ten Broeck,
that got heat? Has he forgotten how he
stopped at the door of a cross roads cob
bler on his way home to have his shoes
half-soled and his heels greased ? Let
him retrogress a little in his memory.
The reported escape of Geroninio across the
border into the Mexican state of Chihuahua in
stigates the American editors out that way to
advise the Mexican authorities to catch and exe
cute him for the crimes he has committed on
American soil, and then consider the Cutting
business settled.
The Hartford Courant has lost a famous oppor
tunity forone of its familiar lectures upon “Crime
in the South.” Here is a woman who has killed
eleven of her relatives by poison, within four
years, for the sake of the insurance upon their
lives! It is a horrible story—the only serious
drawback to its usefulness, for the Co lira ill’s pur
poses, being that the scene of the crime is laid in
New England,
Western editors arc engaged in disputes over
the meaning of the following decision of the
Concord school of philosophy: “The self can

self-regulatc.. .liniuctions in itself,”
You cannot tight an American out of a cent,
but just satisfy his craving for humor and fiin
and his pocketbook flies open at command. The
Boston Herald claims that MarkyTwain is the
richest author in America.
The New York Times is authority for
the statement that improper fractions
are omitted from the Vassar college class
rooms, and there is no reason to doubt it.
They are modest (here. Wasn’t it a
Vassar girl who said her father was a
member of the “limbislature,” and who
drew down the curtains of her chamber
at night to keep the man in the moon
from seingher retire?
Miss Rose Ci.kvei.anh, who was re
cently elected editor of Literary Life, a
Chicago periodical, lias put up this
motto on tiie paper, “Prove all things;
hold .ast that which is good.” The
lawyers have just proved that Liferary
Life owes more than it can pay. The
cherifi' has seized it, and if lie thinks lie
has a good thing in his grip lie will
doubtless live up to the motto.
A vovni; man who leans over a gate at
dusk talking with the pretty daughter of
the man that owns the gate, has to look
a long time at the light of a street ear to
tell whether it is going or coining. Edi
tor Cutting isn’t enjoying himself any to
speak of; but it strikes us tlmt Uncle .Sam
fills the place of the street car in the
illustration. Cutting hasn’t found out
yet whether l ncle Sam is going or com

Mrs. Robinson, of Boston, recently
poisoned her own children to obtain tiie
insurance on their lives. Boston is hard
to beat, in any tiling breezy and wicked.
But for superlative cussedness, we think,
Mrs. Robinson takes not only the cake

heavily on next year’s wheat crop. Par
son Downs will have to go to the rear.

The next presidential campaign, though
two years in the future, is already being
discussed. Many things take place in
two years, but judging from tiie lights
before us at present, Cleveland and
Blaine are likely to head the opposing
tickets in 1888. There is some dissatis
faction at a few isolated nets of President
Cleveland, but upon the whole his ad
ministration has given such general
satisfaction tlmt his re-nomination seems
to be assured. Wherever conventions
of his party have been held they have
unanimously endorsed his administra
tion, and unless lie does something
within the next two years.to forfeit the
good opinion of the democrats lie is
more than apt to he his own* successor.
Blaine lias never ceased since his de
feat to groom for the nomination in 1888.
We believe the chances are in his favor,
for none of his opponents seem to have
gained any strength since tlie last cam
paign. Sherman, Edmunds and Logan
are all anxious to have the honor of lead
ing their party, hut if either ims any
great following it lias not been developed.
Undoubtedly the Plumed Knight,though
once defeated, can inspire more entliusi-
| asm in his party than any man who has
yet come to the front. llis leopard-like
character is in full harmony with the
character of his party, and birds of a
feather will flock together. We think
Blaine will head the republican ticket in
1888, and we believe he will be defeated
by a larger majority than in 1884.
Who are to ride'behind the saddle on
tiie respective tickets is not so clear.
There are numerous probabilities and a
great many more possibilities. The poli
ticians will he busy during the recess of
congress trying to settle this vexed ques-

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER,
now being introduced in this locality, has been before the
publi 3 fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time
has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very
largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious,
light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety
and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders
when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKIN& POWDER
is working its way into a new locality.
The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER, recognizing the fact that the public
have a right to know what they are using as food, have for
many years published their formula, which has been confirmed
by analyses made by the Government chemists, State chemists
and leading scientists of various States, showing that their
Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar,
bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, the latter to
preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not
contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever.
The public thus has not only the assurance that
CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is
11 absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients
that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too
often withheld by other baking powder companies.
The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will
not deter the citizens of this city from giving an article
so flatteringly recommended as CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly
deserve. CLEVELAND BROTHERS,
