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. A young business man in Americus car ries insuranoe policies upon his life amounting to $50,000. He has carried $85,000 for sometime past and a day or two since added $15,000 more. •*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. Laurens, (S. C.) Herald. 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. Services at 3 and 7:30 p. in., daily. For the Couraut-American. DOT VATI ENT FROW.

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. Pat J.
