CASSViLLE PEN-PICTURFS-
A Nursery Tale For the Children.
From time out of mind, the animals of
the world have been invested by the imag
ination of man, with the powers of
thought, reason, craftiness and of speech,
and many a nursery tale has been woven
and told to refractory children by wearied
nurses and mothers to woo them into
silence, and finally into peaceful slumbers.
Often, in passing through the country,
has our heart been touched with tender
sympathy for the wearisome cares of
mothers, burdened with fretful and spoiled
children, and we have determined to aid
them if we can, by the relation of a
nursery tale of three incomgruous ani
mals who once formed a coalition and
syndicate to vent their spleen and
“splode” a dynamite. Our little tale
shall be about the Bear, the Goat and
the ’Possum, who once cavorted about
the streets of Cassville on a day that is
past and gone.
If we but succeed in bringing quietness
to some of the spoiled cubs of our neigh
borhood, and a few hours of extra rest
to some of the care-worn mothers, we
will feel amply repaid for our trouble.
We would like to premise in the begin
ning; though we have given our story a
locality, it is intended simply as a nursery
tale to please the children, and we hope
that no lady or gentleman will take the
picture or wear the shoes of either the
bear, the goat or the ’possum.
Once upon a time there was an animal
who wrote for the Courant-Ameimcan,
and signed the non de plume, Sam Sly.
So sly indeed was he in covering up his
tracks, that he created quite a sensation
among the other animals, who cussed
and discussed him upon every occasion,
and who at last fixed up a plan of getting
him to a spelling bee, that he might dis
close his identity. At the beginning of
the bee, he was entirely discussed.
Some said he was a dog, some a fice,
some a swamp-fox, and some one thing
and some another, until the whole vocab
ulary of animal names was exhausted.
All this time Sam Sly was sitting up there
looking powerful innocent. The choos
ing began, and a Miss Foxie-looking lass
said, “I’ll take Sam Sly.” I promptly
responded to the. call, but they wouldn’t
believe me; so when I went back home I
drew a pen.picture, and described just
liovv I supposed I would look when I get
old, and Mr. Goat got powerful mad,
and said it was exactly his picture; and
he chewed his cud fast and long, and he
kicked up behind and he reared up before.
He raised himself up on his hind feet and
butted the door, and he stamped the
floor, and raved and foamed at the
mouth, and made such a racket that the
old Bear heard him, and paced over to
town to see what was the matter.
The bear we know, by his nature,
Always likes a fuss,
And never fails to take a hand,
Either, in church, State, or social muss.
The Bear came into Mr. Goat's door,
smiled, put his paw on Mr. Goats shoul
der, talked a little while and they soon
formed a syndicate, to write together an
article that would be a regular dyna
mite, and would paralyze “Sam Sly.”
So Mr. Goat got pen, ink and paper and
wrote awhile, and then Mr. Bear took
the pen in his paw and wrote awhile.
Mr. Goat then put in a paragraph. Mr.
Bear then dotted the i’s and crossed the
t’s and put iu a soekdoliger sentence,
Thus they travailed for more thaii half a
day; and then a little mousy piece was
produced.
Mr. Goat then took the manuscript in
his huffs and read it over, sentence by
sentence, and paragraph by paragraph ;
and he laughed and he 1-a-u-g-h-e-d tit to
kill his’self, and old Mr. Bear leaned up
against the house, and he grinned, and
he put his paw first on one jaw and then
on the other, and grunted and laughed
until directly he put both his paws on
his “chist,” and say he done laugh so
much he’s hungry, and say he believe he
go down to Mr. Goat’s house with him,
and take dinner. So Mr. Goat and Mr.
Bear waddle down the road to Mr.
Goat’s house, and when Mr. Bear got to
Mr. Goat’s house he ate and a-t-e so
much of Mr. Goat's goodies, he say he’s
ashamed of his fool self. Then they
come out on Mr. Goat’s front porch, and
Mr. Goat slapped his front feet together
and he laughed and looked Mr. Bear in
the face and laughed again. Mr. Bear
he looked at Mr. Goat sorter sad-like and
say he want him to quit making him
laugh, for he fear if he laugh big fash
ion he bust his’self wide open. Then
they went up to town and say they had
better call in Mr. ’Possum and get him
to take the piece to the paper, and Mr.
Possum hegiin and he listen, and he
listened again and he grin again, and he
showed all the teeth in his head just as
natural as if he had just swallowed a
half dozeu green persimmons. So Mr.
Possom, just as soon as he got through
smiling/- he niteh up his little horse to
his little buggy and sail along with his
little self and the little piece to the
Couuant-American and now Mr. Pos
sum, Mr. Bear and Mr. Goat are sitting
at home on their hunkers, anxiously
waiting for the “splosion” of the dyna
mite, which will blow “Sam Sly” to
pieces, for infringing on their encroach
ments and encroaching on their infringe
ments.
Yours with fear and trembling,
Sam Sly.

•*X. V. on Cold Trail.
Messrs. Editors Cocraat-American,
Carterkville, Ga: —Dear Sirs:— l
that *‘X. Y. Z.” is to the front again after
the space of some time in seclusion under
an assumed name from the one he com
monly uses, and bows himself, curls his
tail, and makes himself very knowingly,
and one would really think at first
thought that he belonged to that larger
and more blooded class of mastiffs and
had bayed the long eared animal in his
stall, but we are not to be deceived in this
way. It is still the bark of the same
little fice that we have been listening to
so long. We know the bark and the
sound therof —it is too familiar to be de
ceived by a mere pretense, and we. must
say that he was indeed on a cold trail
last week when he attempted to show up
who “Sam Sly” was, and made as complete
a failure as he did in showing up the
squaws of Cassville. If we did not have
him down in a different tribe of animals,
we would all agree with one accord that
he had acted the part of the long eared
animal, and had brayed two soou. But
however, he is right good on the trail if
you will give him a good start and a
warm one. His only fault is he opens
most too free and a little uncertain.
As to m or monism, we fear Mr. “X. Y. Z.”
wants to measure some one else by his
own half bushel. l r ou know he is ou the
go a good deal of late, and is right ficety
anyway, and his mind is growing in that
direction, but take him altogether, he is
a good fellow, a jolly fellow, and 1 don’t
see how we could get along without him.
X. Y. Z.'b a pretty thing.
And thinks he has the fame.
And so he has, but still he needs
The collar and the chain
X. Y. Z. seems to be in a dreadful
commotion just now. Says Cassville is
a regular hornets nest and would make
one think that things were in a blaze,
but I think he has only found the nest
himself and it is all imagination in him.
He is is only expecting a sting thatis all.
Ido hear some of the young ladies or
“squaws” expressing themselves and
seem a little indignant at the beautiful
name he has honored them with, but
they say they only consider the source,
that’s all. You know, as a general rule,
the guilty flee when no one pursues. And
the big mastiff has tucked his tail and
skipped with speed and now thinks he is
resting securely crouched behind our
worthy little correspondent of Cass
Station, but this is entirely too thin, he
is too large. We see him sticking out on
all sides, and especially down towards
the bottom, and just here we would say,
Will you have a big job ahead if you
attempt to cover him up. l’ou will have
to spread yourself for one time. Now be
careful Will, we are going to wait for de
velopments and for those beautiful pen
pictures that we are not gifted with as
some are. Y 7 ours truly,
Sam Sly, so Called.
Tlie Old Argument Against Public Schools.
A Southern contemporary that is urg
ing more liberal support of schools in its
State, the Montgomery Advertiser, says
it is met occasionally by the bourbonish
chestnut that was a too common objec
tion to public schools iu this section a
few years ago: “What righ t have you to
tax my property to educate another
man’schildren?” This retort as to schools
ought to be turned against the numsculls
who fling it out by asking them: “What
right have j T ou to tax my property to
bear the expenses of almshouses, courts,
jails and penitentiaries?” Also: “Are
jails and almshouses more important
adjuncts of civilization than the mental
and moral trainingof the State’s youth?”
It is humiliating, distressing, that we
must still go on arguing the soundness
of the policy of public instruction of the
youth of the country. The alleged rea
sons in opposition to expenditures iu
that behalf, lie equally against all expen
ditures by Government, and are, there
fore, but so many pleas against organized
society. It was long since demonstrated
to the wisdom of English statesmanship
that the State must educate the children
of the masses, or be swamped by pauper
ism and crime; and England enacted a
liberal system of public instruction and
made the sending of all children enrolled
under the law to the public schools com
pulsory. The English parent who neg
lects or refuses to keep his child between
the ages of six and fourteen years, in
school five months of the year, is ad
judged guilty of a misdemeanor, a crime
against society, and is punished by the
courts. Prussia has, for a halt century,
practiced compulsory education of the
masses, and the result is that the illiter
ates of that kingdom number less than 2
per cent of the population, and the
further result that the masses are the
finest artisan and working people in the
world, and the best soldiers iu Europe.
If we are told that those are despotisms,
we reply that a free government, of all
others, can least afford to cultivate and
perpetuate ignorance, which breeds sloth,
crime, communism and every internal
menace of authority, order and thrift.

Rev. Joe Jones, of Georgia, who will be
pleasantly remembered as having con
ducted a successful and gracious revival
meeting at this place about a year ago,
commenced a protracted meeting in the
Methodist church here last Sunday. The
meeting will doubtless continue the bal
ance of the week, probably longer, as the
large attendance attest the deep inter
est felt.
Mr, Gilreath, a noted singer, is with Mr.
Jones, and his fine voice adds materially
to the interest of the meeting.

TO CONOSLIDATE THE ORDERS.
The National Alliance and National
Wheelers to Unite.
New Orleans, Dec. s—The5 —The Times
Democrat’s Meridian, Miss., special says:
The convention of the National Alliance
and National Wheelers assembled here
this morning, with delegates present
from twenty States and Territories. An
address of welcome was delivered by
State Senator Joel P. Walker, of this
city, on the part of the citizens, which
was responded to by Colonel Polk, of
North Carolina, on the part of the Alli
ance and Wheelers.
The President of the ’’National Alli
ance, Col. McCaue, of Dallas, Tex., de
livered the annual address before the
Alliance delegates this morning at Shee
pau Hall.
Most of the day was spent in organiz
ing various committees, and getting in
shape for business.
A proposition to consolidate the
National Wheelers and National Alliance
was under consideration this afternoon,
and a joint meeting was held at the
court house for that purpose. A joint
committee was appointed on the organi
zation of a union between the two asso
ciations. Thiscommitteemade a favora
ble report, which was unanimously
adopted.
Committees were appointed by each
order on by-laws and constitution. It is
thought a consolidation will be perfected
to-morrow.
The delegates are most well to-do-farm
ers, but there is considerable intermix
ture of gentlemen who are not exactly
identified with agricultural pursuits.
There are about three hundred delegates
in both organizations. Large numbers
of farmers from local alliances are in
attendance.
The South the Place.
Manufacturers’ Record,
The desire of a large textile machinery
manufacturing company to remove its
plant, where nearly 1,000 hands were
formerly employed, from Philadelphia to
some central location in the Sonth,
marks but the beginning of what must
become a noticeable tendency of South
ern growth. Where the cotton is grown,
there must it be manufactured; or, in
other words, the mills must come to the
cotton fields. Equally true is it that
where the mills are, there must the
machinery for them be made. The
rapid growth of cotton manufacture iu
the South, the building of new mills and
the steady enlargement of old ones, is
causing an immense demand for spin
ning and weaving machinery, and, in
fact,.for every line of machinery required
in the best equipped cotton mills. At
present this machinery is almost wholly
purchased in the North, Philadelphia and
New England being the largest makers of
it, and for some years they will continue
to reap the harvest of this business.
With the rapid progress of this industry
Northern textile machinery manufactur
ers are yearly securing a greater volume
of business from the South. There must
cornea time, though, in the compara
tively early future, when makers of such
machinery .will locale in the South.
There they will find cheap raw mate
rials —wood of every variety, the highest
grades of iron, and everything else need
ed to produce the best machinery at the
lowest cost. Moreover, the market for
their machinery would be l ight around
them. The heavy freights from New
England would be saved, and the combi
nation of cheap production and low
freights would be so great that well
located and well mananged establish
ments ought to have as great an advan
tage over Northern competitors as
Southern furnaces have over those of
Pennsylvania. The inevitable tendency
of manufactures to seek the field where
the greatest advantages of production
and distribution are to be found, makes
it certain that the South will in time
develop a large textile machinery indus
try, and thus add one more line of enter
prise towards the diversification of her
manufacturing interests.
“The Beautiful Story.”
The above is the title of one of the
most deservedly popular books ever pro
duced. It should be in every family in
the land.
The reputation and fame of the authors
insure the reliability of the book. They
have carefully and faithfully studied each
of the great Bible characters, bringing all
the light that is obtainable, from all re
liable historical sources, to bear upon
them, until the book is made not only a
companion for the Bible, but one of the
most complete, unique and interesting
Bible commentaries ever published.
It is the complete Bible, from Genesis
to Bevelation, including the Apocrypha,
given in the form of distinct stories or
narratives, each separate story or narra
tive being complete within itself and con
taining all that is known in either sacred
or profane history about the individual
whose deeds are recorded in that partic
ular division. Under this convenient ar
rangement Bible-readers can select any
great character that they may specially
desire to read about, and, turning to the
bright pages of “The Beautiful
Stpry,” they will find his complete his
tory in the most entertaining and con
venient forn. This arrangement also
leads to a better understanding of the
sacred writings, so that oil turning to
the Bible itself after having read “The
Beautiful Story,” passages that had
previously seemed clouded or uncer
tain will come out clear and plain and
exceedingly beautiful in the new light
that has been thrown upon them.
The manner in which the stories and
narratives are written makes them fasci
natingly interesting to young people.
They will read “the beautiful story” in
preference to any other story-book, and
in doing so will unconsciously acquire a
taste for the right kind of reading. It
will also make them familiar with Bible
history and Bible-truths, and fortify
their minds against the insidious attacks
of infidelity. There are so many bad
books in circulation, and so much evil is
being sent broadcast through the news
papers and other channels, that the
best and quickest-way to counteract this
great evil and lead the rising generation
into paths of truth and righteousness is
to give them good books of such an at
tractive character that they" will be sure
to read them.
Mr. J. H. Holmes has the agency for
this county,and he should beeneouraged
by all gootf people in circulating “The
Beautiful Stoy.'
Entirely Free From Taint.
The Swift Specific Cos., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen —In 1884 I contracted blood
poison. It was in its most loathsome
form. Sores and ulcers came upon me
until my entire body was absolutely
covered. I put myself under the treat
ment of the best physicians in the city,
but no good came of it. I could not
sleep or rest day or night so intense my
suffering. At last I began taking S. S. S.
The improvement was slow at first, but
after awhile the disease yielded, and in a
short time commenced healing,
the ulcers ceased running, and in a few
months iny body" was free from taint.
I continued the medicine and to-day am
free from taint. My body, however, is a
living monument to the intensity of my
sufferings and the curative powers of
Sw-ift’s Specific. The scars remain.
