VOL. 14. “TIIE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.** A I HANK EXPRESSION OF TIIEOPIN ION.A OF A NORTHERN KE PI'ISI,I CAN THE KVIL & THE REMEDY. < .r*r«*l>oudei»o§ of the Boston Advertiser.] Will you permit a few words on the subittut of your article entitled “The Spirit of the South,” and the scries of extracts from Richmond newspapers ? Three months passed in the South during this winter and spring entitle me to speak with some confidence of the situation there, and 1 may add that my own observations and opinions have been shared and confirmed by hundreds of thoughtful people from the North, out of 25,000 who have visited Florida and the South this last winter. These per sons, intelligent men and women from all parts of our country, have been largely Republican in politics, anxious for the education and eleva tion of the colored people, and most tenacious of what are called the re sults of war. 1 do not care to offer your readers any Southside views of “copperhead” comments, nor even the political fault-finding of the De mocracy. I would have this ques tion understood at the North as it has been s<ksi by Republicans—and Re publicans only. it is a tedious matter to discuss the measures adopted for tin* reconstruc tion of the South, or to apportion the blame on the ex-President Johnson or the South, or the failure to adopt the wise recommendations of Gov. Andrew’s farewell address. What soever the cause of the muddle which now exists, the result is simply hor rible. In our desire to protect the colored people from a real or supposed hostility of their former masters we have given tlie suffrage to them all most of them hopelessly ignorant; we have orgarized them into politi cal leagues, elevated them into posi tions of high trust, for which they are deplorably unsuited ; and then handed them over in their helpless ness to the most corrupt and fhcoin petent set of shysters, called carpet naggers from the North, of which it is possible to conceive. 1 have vet to ! learn of u single man who! has gone from the North to bettor his political fortunes, (who is “on the make,” as they themselves tell you,) who has any real, earnest desire to help the colored people or the com munity in which he lives. One of these carpet-bag politicians, in reply to a question of mine upon invest ments, remarked that he wasn’t fool enough to invest in the Mouth ; when he had made his pile he should leave fin'd —d concern.’ It is impossible for Northern peo ple to understand the terrible cor ruption at the South, which is still kept alive by careless or designed use ' of the patronage and i#»litical influ ence at Washington. We have or ganized society upside down at the South. Iguorace and crime over-ride intelligence and decency. The groat educational, financial, commer cial, charitable and political interests of the States are entrusted to our common field hands of the South and unprincipled adventurers from the North ! Can you wonder that these people desire to free themselves of this tyranny and corruption ? Such governments are the most grotesque travesties ; they command uo respect from the black or white ; they are a scandal and disgrace to them and to us. And does it help us of the North in any way to have a lot of men, the natural product of this condition of things, sent into the halls of CoHgress to legislate for us, there to become the tools of bad men, and ready to combine with vicious elements from the North and West? It certainly is of some consequence to us that the 24 senators and 80 or more represen tatives from the Mouth should be clean and intelligent men. We can have them reasonably sols we desire, but not by sustaining the present state of things. It may seem singular that the col ored man should go, as he invariably does, to the native whites for advice in the care of his family, his money, and all his temporal concerns, except his politics. lie won’t vote with the white man because, like the Indian, he worships the great father at Wash ington, and minds the orders of his political league. Gradually and surely those oppressed people are finding out, amidst their weary search for true friends, that the politicians who have settled among them “on the make” are not the wisest and best of guides. There is. no hostility—at least the writer has never seen any— between the former masters and their former slaves. The blacks go to these men for advice; they even, in many instances, support their old masters or mistresses who have been stripped of their all by war. I know that the leading gentlemen of Charleston, old and young, are studying the prob lems of race and government with an earnest desire for the welfare of the blacks. They feel that their prosper ity, for weal or woe, is indissolubly bound up with that of the colored race, ana that that race must be edu cated and trained to citizenship. The general satisfaction with the colored police of Charleston, and the favora ble comments from old residents, are a proof that the whites are willing and anxious to have the colored peo ple do whatever they can do well. — To make judges, adjutant aud major generals, Mtate and congressional leg islators of them in their present igno rance, and in league with bad whites from the North, is simply reducing society and government to chaos, and creating a state of things which au gurs no good for the colored race. A distinguished Northern Repub lican told me that he could not possi bly reconcile the conservation of pub lic morals and the public welfare with this deluge of ignorance and corrup tion let loose upon us by the meas ures of reconstruction; He thought every step in thi process since IBGA had been a terrible blunder, from which there seemed no escape. It would be easy to quote high political and military authority in support of these statements ; and many influen tial business men and capitalists, and persons interested in philanthropic movements, and students of social problems, have returned to their homes from their Southern visit de termined to do something to enlight en the public as to the outrageous state of things in the South. And what shall be the remedy ? It is dif ficult to say; but oue thing can be done, and that is, create a public sen timent which shall enable the South ern States to rid thenselves of their present political rulers, white and black; and secondly, withhold all government and political patronage from men known to be connected with the “rings” in the South; and we can safely leave the rest to time. A. J. C. S. [From the Chottanooga Times.l THE IRON PRODUCING CAPAC ITY OF GEORGIA, TENNES SEE AND ALABAMA. THE COMPARATIVE COST OF MAKING IRON HERE AND ELSEWHERE— THE IRON SCEPTRE TO PASS TO THE SOUTH. McMinnville, May 28,1873. Gov. Jno. C. Brown , President of the Atlanta Convention : Dear Sir—l was iuduced by friends to attend the convention late ly held in Atlanth, Ga., to introduce for the consideration of its members a report showing the effect a “Canal to the sea” would have upon the iron and coal interest of Georgia, Tennes see and Alabama, and as soon as practicable after the organization of the convention, I introduced a reso lution asking the appointment by the President of a special committee of three, to report upon these objects. The ‘ Committee on Buisness,” to whom my resolution was referred, did not consider it, consequently at the solicitation of several members of the convention from Kentucky and Tennessee, I address your Excel lency this letter embracing such facta i as I presumed a committee would re ; port to the convention. In September, 1859, J had the hon or to address a letter to Colonel J. D % ! Morgan, an honored citizen of Nash ville, in which 1 stated that Tenues* I see, Georgia and Alabama, would be come the W’ah-s of America, in the manufacture of pig iron, in one con sequence of the low cost of produc tion, and made an estimate of the cost of a ton of pig iron in these States, which was as follows: 2 tons ore at $2 00 $4 00 80 bushels coal at 8 cents 6 00 Ton of limestone 50 Superintendence & labor per ton 4 00 Wear and tear per ton 50 Interest per ton 1 00 Incidentals per ton 50 sl6 90 It is gratifying to me, sir, to be able to state that my estimate made four years ago, has been realized, that pig iron is now being made in these States at less than my estimated cost, and it is still more gratifying to me to assert as the facts warrant me to do, that these States, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, are now manufacturing pig iron at a less cost than any other State, place or coun try known to the business. The actual average cost of a ton of pig iron in favorable localities in Central Pennsylvania, as stated by W. E. S. Baker, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer of the Eastern Iron Men’s Association, is $2965. The cost of a ton of pig iron in Shenango Valley, Pennsylva nia, and Youngstown, Ohio, as stated by I. G. Butler, Jr., Esq., is s3l 50 The cost of a ton of pig iron in Pittsburg is 29 00 The cost of a ton of pig iron in Steubenville, Ohio, is 31 00 The cost of a ton of pig iron in St. Louis is 32 00 The cost of a ton of pig iron in Great Britian in gold, is 21 00 The cost of a ton of pig iron in India in gold, is 18 00 The cost of a ton of iron in Georgia, Tennessee and Ala bama, is less than 16 00 or a little over one-half what the cost is in the principal iron produc ing sections of the United States. The cause of the cheapness of pro duction here as compared with the North and East is of easy solution. There, the material which enters in to the make of iron—coal and iron ore are separated several hundred miles, and require river, lake and railroad transportation and frequent handling to bring them together; here, coal and iron ore, both of supe rior quality, lie in close proximity, sometimes in the same mountain the one above the other. For instance, the manufacturers of pig iron in Pittsburg bring ore from the Lake Superior iron region first by rail to Marquette, twelve miles, thence by lake several hundred miles to Cleve land, Ohio, thence by rail over 130 miles to Pittsburg, making the cost of ore alone for a ton of iron sl6 00. At the Rockwood furnace in Roane county, Tennessee, a tram-way half a mile long transports both coal and ore to the furnace, the cost of the ore for a ton of the iron is $3 00. What then can prevent these States from soon becoming the Wales of Ameri ca? Nothing but the want of water communication with the sea, —the great West, and those “inland seas” hounding one-third the Union in the North. Thirty years ago the world’s pro duct of pig iron annually was 3,000,- 000 tons, now it is 12,000,000 tons. Then the product of Great Britian was 1,000,000 tons, now it is 6,000,000. Then the production of the United States was 285,000 tons, now it is 2,250,000 tons. Thirty years hence the ratio of increased production be ing the same as the past thirty,(of course it will be much greater)the annual pig iron product of the world will be 48,000,000 tons, that of Great Britian 24,000,000 tons, and that of the United States 18,000,000 tons. But from the mutterings we hear from Great Britian—from England— it is apparent that she has reached the topmost round in the ladder of prosperity in the production of iron. That which enters into the make of pig iron, coal and iron ore, is being exhausted so rapidly that her states men are alarmed for the future in re gard to coal, and a political econo mist has said: “We may conclude the time is not far distant when En gland must surrender to her compe titors many of the industries of which she has hitherto enjoyed a practical monopoly. Coal may be said to he ttie nations’ prosperity, and so long as it remained abundant and cheup there was practically, no limit to the expression of its industries; but with coal as now, scarce and dear in pro portion to the demand, the British , manufacturer finds himself placed at a serious disadvantage. With cheap production he could supply three fourths of the world’s markets, but as he wears increase in cost, competi- i tion is encouraged which might not otherwise have been posssible. Dear coal, means high prises in every de partment of trade. If the present scaresity of coal in Great Britian is SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1873. due to the fact that its mines are no longer able to yield what is needed to sorry on its great industries, those industries must languish, and of these iron manufacture is the surest and most seriously effected.” What are the facts? The coal mines of Great Britian have reached the maximum of their production, 100,(XX),000 tons a year, and cannot now yield sufficient to make it “abundant and cheap.” The shifts of many of the mines, it is said, have attained to the depth of 2,000 feet and at that great depth the thermometer at 80 deg. Fahr., which renders labor ditticult and expensive, j Coal a few years since was sold in England at tenshillingsortwodoliars and forty cents a ton now it is worth j forty shillings or nine dollars or six !ty cents a ton. The cost of making | a ton of pig iron in Great Britain a I few years past was forty-five shill ! ings or ten dallars and eighty cents a ton, now it is eighty-seven shillings or twenty-one dollars a ton, in gold. Mr. J. Lenthian Bell, President of the English Iron and Stell Institute said in a recent address: “In by far the greater number of the European States, according to out present in formation there is a limit to any rap id increase in the production of iron. * * * * The impediment which stand in the way of any great ex tension of the continental iron trade is coal * * * * If we have to ap prelienn, the advent of a powerful ri val in the iron trade, it is not the old world of Europe we have to fear, but the immense and undopted powers posessed by the Western Hemis phere. In ores of the finest de scriptions the resources of the United States are unlimited, while in coal our own great wealth is, in compari son, but poverty. * * * * In short, there is apparent but one bar to a boundless production of iron in the new world that of human hands to manufacture it.” These few re marksof Mr. Bell, then, show con clusively that|therecan be butja slight if any increase iu the production of iron in the old world. In that event it is palpable that the new world must increase its iron production far beyond its ratio. The iron sceptre is slipping from the hands of the Euro pean manufacturers, and it will nat urally fail unto the hands of the Am erican manufacturers. They alone are able to grasp it, and those three southwestern States, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, with a grea ter area of coal and iron ore than En gland Scotland and Wales, and a climate genial that it is incompara ble, must soon become the great iron producing section of this . continent when opened up to the markets by water communication. Let the mandate go fourth from the people that these water commu nications shall be made, and before the great enterprise worthy of a groat people, is completed a hundred" fur naces will be erected where brilliant and prosperous lires shall light up the valleys of the Cumberland, Ten nessee, Sequatchie, Coosa, Black Warrior and Bahaba producitg annu ally 1,000,000 tons of pig iron, and adding $40,000,000 to the wealth of the people, and in addition 5,000,000 tons of coal, one-sixth the annual pro duct of Pennsylvania, can be mined and floated to market, which will add $15,000,000 more to our wealth as a people. Here is an estimate of 6,- 000,000 tons of coal and iron to be shipped from these States annually, anil this is merely the beginning, which, with our present facilities for transportation could not be moved at all. Mr. W. Mattien Williams, well known as an English contributor to the Mettallurrgy of Iron and Steel, says : “Ere long we English, .shall be large importers of American pig iron.” With sheap transportation to the sea, pig iron can be shipped now from Tennessee, Georgiaand Alabama and sold at a profit in England, as the average price now is s3l 20 gold on $835 88 U. S. currency per ton. And the same is true in regard to coal, which with water transporta tion to the sea, could be but iu the English market at a cost of $7 50 per ton. Add to the national resources of these States that of dieap transporta tion to the markets of the new world and then they can compete success fully for the iron trade of the world. Very truly, Geo. T. Lewis. A DRUNKEN DOCTOR. Wo take the following from the Washington Capital: We had a drunk en Doctor by the name of Toddens, who, from his habits, was known as Toddy. He was considered one of the most successfuflpractitioners of our county-site. People said old Todd was a wonder, and the drunker he grew the wider and deeper spread his reputation. This iscominon in other walks of life. We have known law yers, authors and artists add to their reputation by being intoxicated most of the time. People said, “How won derful he would be if he were sober.” The fact was, the only wonder was in the liquor: Had the man been a so ber man he would probably have es caped notice. Old Todd was called in, or rather he was picked up drunk at the tav ern one night, almost insensible, to prescribe for a man in the greatest ag ony. The doctor staggered into the room, and fell upon the floor, lie was shaken up, and a diagnosis roared into his years. All that could be got from him was the one word “coffee.” A pot was hurriedly put upon the lire, and as soon as it could be made as strong as holy writ, a pint was poured into the patient, who only roared the louder. Again the doctor was appealed to, and again he mutter ed “coffee.” The zealous friends and relatives immediately forced down the throat of the sufferer another dose.—A third attempt was being made, when the doctor staggered to the bed side, and seizing the cup drained the liquid himself. He then rolled out to the pump and putting his medical head under the spout, had water pumped over it for some minutes. After this he re turned, somewhat sobered, to the bed side of his patient, felt his pulse, look ed at hi# tongue, and polked the poor fellow in the stomache. “How’re ye man?” “Oh! I’m better; the coffee did it.” A merry twinkle shot from the inflamed eyes of the intoxicated practitioner, but he said nothing then. Subsequently he let the joke out to a brother physician. “I wanted that coffee myself, to sober me up. Damn if they didn’t give it to the fellow in colic; cured though.” And the doc tors chuckled merrily. A GOOD CITIZEN. What constitute* a good citizen? This question can be answered in ma ny different ways by as many differ ent people, and all with more or less truth. But in these busy modern times how many men stop and ask themselves this important question? How many men, especially business men, pause and consider the respon i sibilities and duties which are neces sary to be fulfilled iu order to really I deserve this proud title, for a proud title it is. Not many of our business men are entitled to this name, and yet, probably, nine out of every ten would feel insulted if told to their face that they were not good citizens; probably, Woi. M. Tweed, who is ac knowledged, even by his friends of the Ring, to be the greatest thief of the Nineteenth, or any other century, if told that he was a bad citizen, would point to his fine buildings and various public improvements, to his petty charities to the poor, and his liberal disbursements to the army of political roughs who shout their bread-and-butter cheers at public meetings. Probably this same Win. M. Tweed would on these and simi lar grounds, claim to be not only not a bad citizen, but a very good one. This wide difference of opinion in re gard to the meaning of the term is the fault of public opinion. This lax state of public opinion is caused by the apathy of business men to public affairs. No man is a good citizen who holds back and says to his con science: “let others attend to that, I have enough business of my own.” No man is a good citizen who shirks his share of public life, duties and troubles. No one is entitled to the term who fails to throw his influence, be it little or much, on the side of the right, who does not encourage virtue and discourage vice, who does not do His share toward making a higher and better public opinion ; for public opinion rules the world, and, yet, is made up of the opinions of individu al citizens, good or bad. Most em phatically is the man not a good citi zen who discourages the present re form movement in this community. We heard a man the other day re fuse to take active ground against the Ring “because he was personally acquainted with so and so, if he want ed anything, all he had to do was to ask for it and it was his. He was in favor of Reform, and when he saw any chance es overthrowing the Ring, no one would come out against them stronger than he, but, situated as I am, how can I go back on them?” Oh, how we pitied that man and despised his sentiments. Our thoughts ran back to the grand old lines in “Measure for Measure:” “Our doubts arc traitors, and make us lose the good We oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” The only strength corruption has in this city to-day, is in just such men as this, with, perhaps, a few of fice-holders under the Ring, who are bound to do their bidding, and influ ence what votes they can among the ignorant and depraved. It is said, that the Democratic organizations will vote in a body, and that this a- Ipne, will carry the day. We believe in organization, and we believe in Democracy, the grand, old true heart ed, incorruptible Democracy of our Fathers, but we hope no man is so far lost to a sense of right and wrong, to a sense of honor and patriotism, as to vote for a thief in preference to an honest man, because he is a member of a political club whose leaders may be bad enough to sell themselves to the Thief. May the hand of such a voter wither as it passes such a ballot in! This is no time for party. It is a contest between vice and virtue, hon esty and corruption, honest men and thieves. The man who allows party considerations to influence him now is no patriot—is not a good citizen. The great trouble lies in the fact that the masses have not given this sub ject any thought, and have been in fluenced by demagogue politicians, who as soon as they were elected be came false to their trust. They have been influenced by unprincipled newspapers like the New York Her ald, Evening Post and others to whom the people look for unbiased, public-spirited words, but which, in this contest between the thieves of the Ring and the people, have been bought with the Ring’s stolen money, and instead of boldly denouncing fraud have filled half their columns with halting excuses for the Ring of ficials, and the other half with city advertisements, the price of their treachery. Are the proprietors of such papers good citizens? The remedy for our ills is to try and deserve our title. Let every man do his best to be a good citizen. Select your vote carefully; go the straight Reform ticket unless you see a name on it which does not belong to an honest man, when scratch it off and substitute a better one. Use your influence with your friends to do the same; go to the polls with a proper sense of responsibility for the impor tant act you are committing. “Tlio freora.au casting with unpurehased hand The vote that shakos the turrets of the laud.” Cast your vote with a prayer in your heart for the right. Do this for your own sake, for your children’s sake, and for the sake of the great, free and prosperous country you hope to leave them for a heritage. Do this and you will have done your part, and be entitled to the name, the proud and good name of “Good Citi zen.”—American Grocer. Prof. Faraday on the Natu ral Duration of Life.—Accord ing to Prof. Faraday, the crime of suicide is very common in this age of the world, for he intimates that ail who die under 100 years of age may be charged with self-murder; that Providence, having originally inten ded man to live a century would al low him to arrive at that advanced period if he did not kill himself by eating unwholesome food, allowing himself to be annoyed by trifles, giv ing license to passions, and exposing himself to accident. Flourin advanc ed the theory that the duration of life is measured by the time of growth. When once the bones and ; epiphysis are united the body grows no more, and it is at 20 years this union is effected in man. The natur al termination of life is five removes from the several points. Man, being 20 years in growing, lives—or should —5 times 20 years; the camel is 8 years in growing, and lives 5 times 8 years; the horse is 5 years in grow ing, and lives 2-5 years; and soon with other animals. THE FATE OF RENEGADES. The Charlotte (N. C.) Southern Home, of which Gen. D. 11. Hill is the editor, comments in the following very impressive manner on the re i cent terrible murder of Gen. Canbyj At the outbreak of the war iu 1861 he deserted his owu section and cast his lot with their enemies. He seems to have won rank aud reputation in the Federal service, and was one of the six Brigadiers appointed in the regular army on the peace establish ment. He was given command of the Department of the Carolina*, aud i carried out ruthlessly all the cruel measures of a remorseless Congress. The war against his own land aud people seemed to have destroyed ail nis nobler qualities, and to have transformed him into the usual type ot the renegade. A citizen of Char lotte was present in Richmond when Gen. Can by personally superintended the hanging of a white man up by the thumbs for kicking an insolent negro out of his saloon. aim Lane cut his owu throat. Stan ton most likely committed suicide. King drowned himseil. One by one - the oppressors of the South come to an untimely end. Some of the most | atrocious are now covered with infa my worse than death. Is it accident ioris it retribution? The history of | renegades is getting to be interesting.; Mr. Lincoln deserted his own pebple, volated his conscience and stultified ! his oft expressed opiuious. He was j foully and atrociously murdered in the hour of his triumpn. Gen. Thom as pledged himself in Lynchburg, at | the outbreak of the war, to stand by his neighbors and his kindred. Se-! duced by office, he fought against them. At the close of his brilliant military career, a popinjay was put over him, and he dropped dead iu San Francisco. Old Browulow was the strongest pro-slavery man in all the South. But he cast his lot with the Abolitionists, and persecuted his own people. He is now a paralytic, and almost a driveling idiot. Profes sor Mahan was an ardent Southerner, and could hardly find language wherewith to express his abhorrence of the disunion Abolition party. He affiliated with that party during the war, and became very bitter against his own section. He was superceded, when his work was done, threw him self in the Hudson in the madness of his despair. Who would not rather be a crippled Confederate soldier, munching a crust of eornbread, than j poor Longstreet, the pet of Grant, and the >dol of the Louisiana thieves? ARKANSAS OR ARKANSAW. The Arkansas linguists feel that if the name of that State is to be often in the mouths of men, as it is like to be unless the inhabitants mend their manners, then the true and orthor clox pronunciation of it should be definitely settled. The weight of au thority in the State is in the favor of (he broad “a” in the last syllable with the final “a” silent—Arkansas. To fix the matter definitely and au thoritatively the native linguists have investigated the derivation of the word. The territory was called Ock-en-sea. The old French settlers spelled it, as their records testify, Arkancea—the “c” being soft. This indicates that the final “s” should not be sounded. The inhabitants prefer Arkansas, and as it is their own State, we suppose that they have a right to do as they please in the matter, especially as there is no law of the United States against their do ing so. They say that when Mr. Fill more was President of the Senate he compromised the thing according to the tastes of the Senators from that State. Senator Sevier said Ar-kan sas; Senator Ashley, Arkansas. Mr. Fillmore used to recognize Mr. Sevier as the Senator from Ar&cmsas,” and Ashley as “the Senator from Ar kansas.” And while on this subject let the newspapers take up the case of bleed ing Kansas and tell us whether we shall say Kansas or Kansas; and if Kansas, why not Arkansas—and if Arkansas why not Kansas? The Modern African Servant. —A lady friend informed us, that a colored girl applied to her for the po sition of cook, hearing that she need ed one of those valuable auxiliaries to house keeping. The girl answered the purpose, was engaged and the wages decided upon. The “new cook then asked to be shown the room she was to occupy. The lady piloted her to the basement and pointed out a very comfortable apartment, though not a commodious one. The colored damsel viewed the premises carefully, and then shaking her head dubiously said, if that was the only room that could be given her, she didn’t think she could stay. The lady, in surprise, inquired why ? when the accomplish ed cook replied, that the room was not large enough to accommodate her “piano and sewing machine,” and sheleit. This is an actual occurrence; as we have it from the lady herself. This from the Forsyth Advertiser: “A man named Zeb Allen went to a place near hear called “Traveler’s Rest” to swap horses. He swapped all day. That night, he returned home with deeds to three lots of land, five cows and calves, $34 in money and the same horse he rode there that morning. The people consider Zeb just a leetle the best man at a horse swap that ever trod Georgy grit.” The Chronical & Sentines puzzles it3 mathematical readers in this way: Use the numerals 1,2, 3,4, 5,0, 7,3, 9,0, in such a manner as to make lUO, no more less, employing each figure only once, and all of the fig ures to be used—no figure to be used but one time, whether as a fraotion or whole number. In one of the suburban schools a school inspector gave out the word “psalter” to a class for spelling. It was a poster to all till it reached the foot of the class, when a curly-head ed little fellow spelled it correctly; but, being asked to define it, he shouted out, “More salt.” “Have you Goldsmith’s Greece ?” asked of the clerk in a store in which books and various miscellaneous ar ticles were sold. “No,” said the clerk, reflectively, “we haven’t ‘Goldsmith’s Greece,” but we have some splendid hair oil.” An old woman at Liverpool, Ohio “didn’t want ’em to take any troub le after she was dead, but if it was just the same she'd like tQ be buried with her spestaclea on,” THE Standard & Express Is published every THURSDAY MORNING BT S.
