are now in position to say that the ciga
rette girl and the advertising girl are two
, entirely distinct persons. The picture of
the one graces the wails of our sanctum,
and the reulity of the other works in a
. shop hard by. The girl on the picture
never made a cigarette, and probably
never saw one. Any way, the “cigarette
girl” is no discredit to the profession, and
there can he found worse looking pictures
in ninny public places. However, we draw

I This is the season of the year when the
average young man begins to devise ways
i and means for ice cream bills.
■ A general impression is that the recent
poisoning, so-called, of picnic parties by
( ice cream, while of actual occurrence, have
been exaggerated by impecunious young
i men, with the hope that the girls would
\ be afraid to partake of the luxury, and
thus free the poor fellows from a tax many
of them are illy able to hear, but which
must lie borne mieomplaingly. or subject
those who for whatever reason decline to
stand up to the he cream stand to the pen-
- alt.v of a serious loss of euste. Something
more effective than reports of poisoning
will have to be resorted to, for what would
induce tin average g'r> to forego a plate of
lemon, vanilla or strawberry ; would cause
a hungry horse to leave ins oats. They
; don't scare worth a cent in that direction.

“Why is it that all the Columbus police
men arc not strong athlete men? ’asked
a gentleman of us the other day.

got to understand how this was during
the war. Of all the “roughs ’ and j
1 “toughs” who enlisted, none as far as i
we ean now remember, made anything of
a mark, and as soldiers, or tor the posses
sion of soldierly qualities, t.liev did not
compare favorably with the young fellows
who were quiet and w 11-behaved when at
home. These turned out to have more en-
i durance and had steadier courage.
“Roughs” and “toughs” do not even make
good congressmen, as was demonstrated
tha other day,, and has frequently been
! the natural home of domestic fowls, and of
« h animals ns are useful to man for food l
: and for work. There the grass grew spoil- i
Utneously from all the face of tlie ground, j
The dwellers in that land were a hardy
and intelligent people and their fathers
before them had been tillers of the soil.
In that land were no wars or alarms to dis- |
turb the people in their peaceful pursuit-,
and every mail was free to attend to mat
ters pertaining to his own comfort.
In the midst of that land was a city 1
, whose inhabitants numbered more than a ■
i score of thousand. That city, spreading I
out over the valley and surrounding hills, j
wits situated at the head of navigation on )
a beautiful river, upon whose ample waters
1 boats would move up and down, bearing I
away nnd bringing hither the products of 1
the earth and the exchanges of commerce.
The merchants of that city kept in store
all the implements of husbandry, and all
articles of household convenience, and
whatsoever thing was needful for diversi
fied industry, or for the comfort of man or
for rendering the cultivation of
the earth easy and remunerative.
Every condition for the creation of wealth
and the growth of prosperity and comfort
in agricultural pursuits was most lavishly
supplied by a bountiful Providence, by the
enterprise of the bridesman, and the skill
of the artisan.
Now In such a land one would expect to
find a great plcntifulneas and variety of
food, great storehouses of grain and food
for man and beast, and pasture-fields fed
upon by fat oxen and sheep and swine, and
every larder filled to overflowing with good
things for tnnu'sinner comfort. No where
would we expect to sec poverty and want,
except with the most profligate aria
abandoned, but we would look to find the
industrious nnd virtuous free from
nil anxiety about proper nourishment
i for themselves and their little ones.
But now, I tell you a strange thing. The
inhabitants in that land do not raise the
food upon which the dwellers in that city
feed. Nay, more, they do not grow the
food uponWhich themselves and their own
families subsist, nor the provender which
sustains their work animals. They have
no barns, no meat houses, no larders. The
merchants in that cit.v send thousands of
miles away into a strange land and buy
| from strangers articles of food, not or.lv for
j themselves and others dwelling in the city.
1 but they buy ainazingquaiitities with which
to feed the people in the rural districts
land surrounding country, and to feed
! tiie very animals used in tilling the
1 land. nnd the iron horse is
bent putting night and day to bring from a
gioat distance xuc.li articles of food as
would grow and Hourish nil over itiis

The little city of Browneville still pur
sues the even tenor of its way, unawed by
any of the great agitations which are sway
ing other sections of tlie country. Consldei-
ing the fact that the population is com
posed ulmost entirely of factory operatives,
it is rather notable that the citizens have
not been affected by the turbulent propensi
ty to “strike” which has cropped out so
generally the present season in other simi
lar localities. The people labor on cheer
fully and hopefully, reeling assured in their
own minds that their best interest is con
sulted by doing so, and that their employ
ers are disposed to treat them tairly and
pay them as liberally as the times will
justify. The fifteen hundred operatives in
Browneville deserve grent credit for their
conservative views and industrious habits,
and as a class they are prosperous, con
tented and happy. It would be difficult to
find a better manufacturing community in
the union.

Greenville. Ga., July 17.—We had a
chat to-day with two of our most substan
tial farmers and they say that cotton has
improved considerably within the last
week, and they now think an average
crop will he made. Corn is much better
than last year.
Judge A. J. Hinton, our clever and effi
cient ordinary, informs us that a day or
two ago an old darkey sevt nty-three years
of age, who lives about five miles from
town, came to his office about 7 o’clock in
the morning and asked for license to
marry, saying that his intended would
reach Greenville in about an
hour, later As he was in a hurry
lie came ahead of her to have everything
in readiness. Alter Hie judge had accom
modated hint with the desired papers he
hastens to find a preacher. Hoon tint.' this
tlie woman came puffing into town. She
was met by her aged lover and carried in
tlie presence of tlie man who was to join
other day as to whether the future will
I build up as many colossal fortunes ns the
I near past, or whether the past fourth of a
I century has been a phenonenal period in
I that respect. Of course they did not have
reference to big fortunes here in Colum
bus, for nearly everybody are. very much
on an equality in that respect—all rich
i alike. Without questioning-* Whether or
not big fortunes are evils, a glance at the
last thirty or forty years of the country’s
history, will satisfy every thinking person
that there is hardly the possibility of a re-
! eurrence of such a combination of circum-
; stances and events as those which led to
the amassing of such a vast amount of
wealth by a comparatively few. Suf
ficient time has not yet elapsed
to determine what will be tlie outcome of
such enormous accumulations as those of
Vanderbilt, Gould and some others;
whether they will he held intact and go on
increasing, or whether they will be divided
| and other millions be added to each sepa
rate division. There are sound reasons for
anticipating such disintegration, and
[ equally sound ones for the belief that while
some of those to whom will fall portions of
) these great fortunes will add to their
shares, the majority will follow in the foot
steps of the may who have inherited for
tunes, and scatter them more rapidly than
they were accumulated.

Several families from the city have taken
cottages on the Girard heights for the
summer months. Those who want health
and quiet comfort need not flee to the
mountains of Hepsidam or any other moun
tains. The Girard heights will fill the bill
for those who wish pure air, good water
and romantic views. Why should people
continue to spend mints ot money in seek
ing health and recreation abroad, when
nature has done so much for them at their
very doors? Echo answers, why?

Mrs. N. A. Mclntire writes from Spring
Place: “For many years I have beeu a
great sufferer from indigestion, sick head
aches and nervous prostration caused from
biliousness and constipation. I tried many
remedic's, but got no permanent relief un
til I used Dr. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir. I
am now' in better health than for many
years. My daughter has been subject to
chills and fever from her infancy. I could
get nothing to relieve her; the Lemon
Elixir has restored her to perfect health.”
W. A. Janies, Bell Station, Ala., writes:
