How the Young Married
Couple Prospered.
“Who would‘ have* thought it ! Well, I sup-
Pose some folks would say it is none of my
business, but 1 reck;)n as how it is, a woman
can speak her mind sometimes. As I. was
going to say, Lucindy, you know when that
boy of the widow Franklin's took it into his
head to marry and move to town with that
young girl-wife of his, what everybody proph
ecied, that is, they would pretty soon be
back on the farm for the poor old mother to
take care of ; and for my part I am glad for
once that things are not exactly that way.
You see when they set out was with the no
tion to “pay as you ge,” and with but little
coming in, 'twas“mighty right” they should,
and now Mrs. Franklin (the old woman) has
Jjust come home from a visit to them, and
the dear old creature goes about the hOI;SG
singing as happy as you please, for she al
ways set a power by her boy, and now she is
in love with his wife; for she, (the old lady i
says) does manage so nicely and makes ‘
John such a good wife. You should g 0 over
Jjust to hear her dilate on the good things
she had to eat; sux,h.bread, and more nice
little dishes, and besides, she says, John is
laying by a little every week for the inevit
able rainy day; for you know 'tis true, as
John's wife says, “into each life some rain
must fall.” She is truly a help-meet as well
as a “help-eat.” You see, she is what
my old man would call a “good manager.”
Lawsey me, the times I have heard my old
man talk about such and such a woman be
‘ng a good manager, Thisis the way she
works it: She keeps a little girl and with
her help does her own work; but she says
the whole secret of their success is, they do
all their trading at McClatchy's where she
gets the best of everything, and a great ben
efit is, she loses no time in running around.
She keeps a little book and when she needs
anything, she sends the book, and if Mec-
Clatchy hasn't got it why he sends out and
gets it for her. Any child can trade at this
counter justas well as you can. Oh, they
are well pleased I can tell you. You know
McClatchy keeps not only everythingto eat, |
but shoes and hats, and has nice spring
prints, too. The truth is, lam afraid actual
ly we will lose old sister Franklin herself,
for I verily believe she is in the notion to go
where she can buy her groceries cheap, and
then get the best there ;s in the market be
sides; for my part, I rejoice with them, they
are doing so well. They were attracted to
McClatehy's by the continued crowds going
in and out, and now they bless the day that
they commenced doing their trading there;
and more than that, I am bound to go there
myself, for the “proof of the pudding is in
the eating,” and I have got it down that the
place to go is McClatchy’s store. That's
me! Do you catch on? lam not going to
be left myself; you can mark that down !”’
" P. B.—Sister Franklin says she hardly
knew John's house this time, newly painted
ingide and ont. MecClatchy keeps all kinds
of paints you know.
Marietta.
Marietta has a bright future before her.
There is an evidence of an increasing ac
tivity in business, real estate commands
goods prices and improvements are going
on. The town has a chair factory, an iron
foundry, a large flouring mill, marble works,
two sash, blind and door factories, carriage
and wagon factory, two_hotels, good schools, |
fine churches, and an industrious _populu' |
tion, and above all has a wide-awake, enter
-prising merchant, D. F. McClatchy, who is
selling the people, dry goods, shoes, hats,
shirts, collars, cuffs, jeans, groc;eries, paints,
crockery, &c., cheaper than anybody. Tr)t
him and see. Business is good and printer's
ink did it.

AN ATTEMPT TO POISON HER HUSBAND.
Last week a young man, (whose name we
will not give for prudential reasons,) came
in from the country and stated to Dr. W,
K. Root that his wife to whom he had been
married about thirteen months, had attempt
ed to poison him. He said that on the
morning of the day that he was dosed, that
his wife insisted on visiting her father some
miles away, He remonstrated and told her
that there was indications of rain and if it
did she would get wet, and, therefore, she
had better not go. She appeared angry and
said go she would, and further remarked
that if he lived after that day, she would
never live with him again. He went to
work as usual and at noon returned to the
house for his dinner which he found prepar
ed for him, but his wife was absent. He
placed the food on the table and began to
-partake of his repast when he discovered his
bread had a dark colorand a very bittertaste.
In his hunger he ate a good size piece of it.
He began to feel dizzy aifd an acute burn
ing sensation seized his stomach. He
drank copiously of water, but this did not
allay the feeling. He began to feel that he
was going to die, but after awhile he got
better and the bad feeling passed off He
was a little suspicious of the bread and gave
a pig in the yarda piece of the bread, and
shortly afterward he noticed it began to
turn round and stagger about. The pig
then vomited up the bread which had turn
ed perfectly green. He was satisfied then
that the bread was poisoned. He examined it
and found that it had been worked up with
“Jimson weed” juice, some of the leaves
being discernible. He brought a piece of
the bread to town and left it with Dr. Root |
for him to analyze. The young man alleges ‘
that his wife is the guilty party and that he
intends that she shall suffer for her felon~{
ious attempt upon his life.
EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
—The meeting called for last Thursday
night, at the Court House, to devise ways
and means to build a commodious academy
building, was attended by some of our best
and most influential citizens, who, we were
glad to see, exhibited a good deal of interest
and enthusiasm in the matter. The meeting
was organized by calling Rev. Dr. Buttolph to
the Chair and R. N. Holland, Esq., to act
as Secretary. Mr. John Boston, one of the
prime movers in the good work, was called
upon and after a few remarks, he asked Col.
E. Faw to place before the meeting the plan
they had talked over as the most advisable.
Col. Faw thought that the best plan would
be to form a stock company and construct a
suitable building to cost about $2,000, to be
used for this important purpose. Dr. Cor
telyou gave pointed suggestions. Mr.
Groves, Gen. Phillips and Mr. Ben R. Legg
all made remarks. On the motion of Mr.
John R. Winters a committee was appoint
ed to get information and devise some
practical plan for intelligent action to re
port at a future meeting. This motion was
adopted, and the Chairman appointed J. R.
Winters, John H. Boston, Gen. William
Phillips, Dr. P. R. Cortelyou, T. H. Cheek,
and Mayor W. M. Sessions. The meeting
adjourned - subject to the call of the Chair
man. The meeting was harmonious and
everything seems auspicious of good results.
The understanding appeared to be to build
first an academy for males and when this is !
finished and paid for, go to work at once
and construct a building for females. This
was the ruling idea. We trust that our cit
izens will unite for once and lend their in
fluence to the consummation of an object
so devoutly wished.
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
~—President Cleveland's administration
cannot bring half the prosperity to this coun
try that our farmers can. He can-turn a
few rascals out and put democrats in
their places, but unless the yeomanry of
this country make plenty of corn and meat
and ail the other essential adjuncts, that
flourish on the farm, there cannot be much
glory to dawn upon this Republic. Hard
times will still be the gaunt spectre that
will stalk in as an unwelcome guest at the
feast. Therefore, it behooves everybody to
go to work. This is no time for idleness
about the streets of towns or cities. If you
cannot find work that suits you, hire to the
farmers and help add to the prosperity of
the country. Help produce as well as con
sume. Dronesin the busy hive of industry
are intruders, The more that engage in
the honest tilling of the soil, the greater the
independence of the people. It is only in
this way individual independence and
wealth can be obtained. And in this fight
it will certainly come to pass, “to the victor
belongs the spoils,”

"IN MEMORIAM
OF LITTLE HARRY MASSEY.
Thou hast drank of the fount of immortal youth,
No blight is upon thy brow, :
Though the spoiler hath touched the casket fair
And seemeth broken now.
But I looked not upon the faded form,
The hands pressed over the Leart,
Nor the sweet lips scaled to love’s fond word,
Ah! never again to part.
'Tis a weary sight, when a young life’s ray,
Fades out from a glad bright eye ;
"Tis a weary sound, when the morning’s breath
Dies out with an early sigh;
"Tis a heavy tone, that voice of grief,
From a stricken parent's heart;
"Tis a fearful gap in the household band,
When such as thou depart.
Oh! weary and dull is the early day,
And heavier still the noon,
For the evening’s bring no gladness now,
There’s a cloud o’er star and moon.
And an empty seataround the board,
And a tone of music hushed,
With a fearful silence in the halls,
Where thy joyous laughter gushed.
Oh! grief stricken ones—
Thy heart’s are sick of the blight of earth,
And you turn with a longing eye,
To the home of his spirit—angel boy,
His bright home in the sky.
The dew of thy youth is spotless fair,
On a radiant angel brow,
And thy steps will never feeble grow,
Nor thy head in anguish bow. .
While the young who wept thy early doom
And with flowers strewed thy bier,
Will feel the withering touch of time
And the rack of hope and fear,
We had linked thee with the early flowers
And the pleasant things of earth,
With the strongest ties that love could bind
With music and with mirth.
But One, who had loved thee better far, ‘
Sought out for the angel throng, |
One of the fairest forms on earth
To join in “the Lamb's New Song."

It is amusing to see how tender-footed
certain blood remedy proprietors have be
come of late They make much ado ahout
“apes and imitators” when none are in gight.
Ihe proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy stands
upon its own merit. Should we attempt to
imitate, it would not be those who do not
understand the modus operandi of that
‘which they offer. Our own long experience
in the profession precludes such an idea.
The field for blood remedies is large and
broad, affording ample room for all present
aspirants. We do not desire to close the
door against others, neither shall it be clos
ed against us. B. B. B. is the quickest rem
edy, does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not imitate, and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public favor,
and its success is without a parallel,
