THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBOBO’, <3 A.., SUBSCRIPTION PRICE—I.\ ADVANCE: Two Dollars per Annum. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1872. “Only a Woman's Hair.” After Swift's death there was found in his writing desk a tress of Stella’s hair. On the paper enclosing it there was written: “Only a Woman’s Hair.” “Oaly a woman's hair?” A seal, a sign, Nerving the knightly ami In Palestine. “Only a woman’s hair ?” Beside their lore Pale students lay the pledge, And strive the more. “Only a woman’s hair?" Old men depart, Fumbling one little Iress Held to the heart. “Only a woman’s hair?” Gage of fond trust, | Buried with stalwart forms, Crumbling to dust. “Only a woman’s hair ?’’ Was this a gibe— A bitter sneer ? If so, * Shame on the scribe! • • “Ouly a woman's hair?" Was this a sigh Borne on the midnight surge f JJJ*. Of memory? “Only a woman's hair?” Lo! there be times When wailing music clings To meekiug rhymes. “Only a woman’s liair ?” Strange it appears That he should nurse a jest So many years. . r “Only a woman’s hair?” Dead Stella's hair; If she had meant a jest Why all that care ? “Only a woman’s hair?” True—naught beside; And yet 'twas something more When Stella died. “Only a woman’s hair ?” A woman’B hair; A moan from out the Past— A womau’s hair! When you marry take the daughter of a good mother. Immense lace collars, such as our grandmothers used, are coming into fashion once more. A beautiful woman, said Fonteuelle, ia the purgatory ot the purse and the paradise of the eye. Wind-mills to raise water fer irriga tion purposes are coming into use on the St. Johns river, in Florida. A farmer in East Andover, N. 11. has realized an average of $6 from each one of his flock of ninety sheep this year. Some German farmers, near Hunts ville, Alabama, made thirty-five bushels of wheat to the acre this year on ordi nary land. In Paris in 1871, the total number of suicides was 4,177. Out of this number 701 were caused by disappoint ment in love. Iu the year ending September Ist, sixty-four thousand five hundred and seventy-four bags of coffee were im ported into Mobile. An Alabama youug lady who was naught smoking a cigar gave as her reason, “that it made it smell as though there was a man around.” A Brooklyn physician considers Tur key figs, boiled in water, so as to make a tea, and mixed with a little fresh brewer’s yeast, a specific remedy for scarlet fever. Senator Schurz is firing the German heart in the West, and this ought to be, an easy task when you remember that Henry Wilson is Grant’s Lieutenant.— Schurz predicts with confidence that Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania will be carried by Greeley and Brown in the October elections; and the signs of the times all point to this glorious result. “La me !” sighed Mrs. Partington “here I have been sufferin’ the bigamies of death for three mortal weeks. First I was seized with a bleeding phrenology in the left bamshirc of the brain, which was succeeded by a stoppage of the left ventilator of the* heart. This gave me an inflammation in tbc boxay, and now I’m sick with chloroform morbus. There is no blessings like that of health, partic ularly when you're sick. My mind’s gin out, and I ain’t got no more to say.” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ~ ~ SALE'OF THE MOUNT FLORENCE ESTATE I WITH A CASH FUND, TOTAL VALUATION, 1350,000.

The approaching Campaign will doubtless be one of the most interesting and exciting that has occurred within the present century; and we offer The Expositor for a sum almost nominal, that every citizen of Burke, at least, may be fully informed of its progress and developments. From now r until the first of December we will furnish it to subscribers for Fifty Cents in Advance ; and we trust that in this way it will reach every reader in the county. The Expositor w ill contain full and accurate Crop Re ports, Prices Current, Foreign and Domestic News, and every Political Item of interest from Maine to California, with extracts from all the leading Newspapers in the United States, and Synopses of important Speeches bv the most able and eloquent Orators and Statesmen in the country. We appeal to our people to patronize and sustain their COUNTY PAPER. In doing so they not only enable us to live, but add to the character and poliG ical importance of the county itself. Almost the first question an intelligent stranger asks is: “Is there a newspaper published in your county ?” and in an age like this it would surely be humiliating to answer, “No!” Every honest man is authorized to act as our agent; and upon receipt of subscription price, the paper w ill be promptly forwarded.
