Strike not yet adjusted and the obO mills in this, the larg est spinning center in the world, is still closed. Market very dull and spot cotton is very hard to .-ell.

Where is the Old Man in thosv perfervid, disjointed days? W< read of the Notional Congress of Mothers, a Ikmlv largely made lip of most excellent ladies who have never brought forth anything but icon oclastic ideas, and which devotes it-elf mainly to the well known maternal function of passing rcso -1 itions and reading essays while the children, sivli as they are, sprawl al>out at home, pulling hair, and crying and encrusting themselves with dirt, and the old man comes back after a hard day’s work to hi> desolate, darkened, widowered hearth. The National Conglessof Mothers has a board of managers, but it is not one of its functions to manage* things nicely for the old man. between the N. C. of M s. and tin 1 V. M 's.

M. is quite relegated to the rear, and totally lost in the shuffle, except at bill-paying time when he rt'-appears for tin* moment and when lie has planked down the cash straightway sinks into oblivion again. An A. F. T. R. O. T. O. M.~ Association for the Resuscitation of the Old Man—is imperatively needed. It is much more iin protaut than re-forrestalion, the regulation of railroad rates, the strangulation of Standard Oil, or any other of those minor nmttcis which now absorb public attention. The old man is the starting point, the balance wheel, the motive ,power of all things. The world was made for him, and women and children were nieie Divine after-thoughts. But the Divine economy has been oversloughed in these later days and hence the crying necessity for a resuscitation of the primal order. The old man, under the classic name of pater, was the basis of the Roman republic and empire, winch no modern nation lias ever come within touching distance of in magnificence and power. The old man, under the cognomen of ancestor, is the corner stone of China, which in its antiquity and permanence laughs all other coun tries to scorn. The old man was the prime solicitude of the secular part of the Mosaic* law. First after the com mandments respecting .Jehovah, comes the decree. Honor thy farther. And, scattered and dis persed as the children of Israel are, they, lik*-* the Chinese, still stand a living personality, in a world of wrecks of other peoples.

There is to lx- presented at the Lyrie Saturday night a theatrical attraction somewhat out of the or dinary, as I. A. t'oburn's Greater Minstrels seldom appear in a town as small as Winder.

If you enjoy a joke, a good song well rendered, acrobatic stunts the most remarkable and dancing to the queen's taste, don’t miss the minstrels Saturday night. OUN THOMPSON ACQUITTED.
