Away back in the early sixties Mr Ferguson was defending a man ac cused of beating his wife. The case was on trial before a justce of peace, probably the same justice who de cided that stealing a sack of pota toes out ot a canoe in the river was “piracy on the high seas.” The accused was convicted and the jus tice promptly sentenced him to be hanged. “But you can’t hang a man for beating his wile/’ expostulated Fer guson. “The devil I can’t,’ ’ said the jus tice bridling up. ‘’Ain’t he guilty? Ought not any man be hung who would beat a woman and that wo man his wife? And ain’t I the only judge in this county? If I haven’t got the power to hang a man who has, eh? I'll hang him within an hour, won’t we boys?”he concluded addressing the crowd standing around, whose sympathies were evidently with the woman. “That we will” shouted the crowd. Seeing that the case was begin ning to leok serious for the client, Ferguson said: “Well, your honor, I’d like to take him out behind that big tree and pray with him before he is hanged/’ “All right,’* said the justice, and •flf went the prisoner and Ferguson. When they got behind the tree Fer guson said in an undertone : “Now git you d—d hound.’* And he got. THE WRECKERS OF SOCIETY. A somewhat famous woman in Now York, who is explaining through tho newspapers her reasons for obtaining a divorce says: “I have never hesitated to fight when attacked. I would almost sooner be accueed of murder than of bad taste.” Such women are the wreckers of •ocietjr. They make impulse their supreme law and love the notoriety that comes from the publication ot their love affair* in divorce suits. They never hesitate to fight when atiacked, but sweet, modest women •U hesitate and silently bear a great deal that is unpleasant, rather than to go swaggering through the col umns of the public pres*. This New \ork woman would almost sooner be accused of murder than of bad taste. She will have to bear the latter accusition. Such silly **nd reckless talk is worthy of the frivolous ladies of Marie Antion ette s court who used to say : After us, the deluge. The deluge came *nd swept them a ay. We talk of bank wreckers, t orpor ation wreckers, bnt we have in these days a more dangerous class—the wreckers of society. Men and wo men who defy public opinion and lightly assume that bad taste and blunders in etiquette are as repre hanaihlt as anything that is forbid den in the decaiogue are ei gaged, whether they know it or not, in a crus ads against morals ar.d dea n •y. The wouan who leaps from pa •ton to passion and gives her I<\ •F* r.snces snd matrimonial oxp* - indents to the newspapers, is has! a person to be consulted in n.a ’• uf taste. -Atlanta Constitution ALLIANCE WAREHOUSE. We made some remarks in our is sue of Jane 23rd which brother Mc- Candless eaidwas so misleading that he must reply. Well, we did not like to put it as bad as it was but if it mutt come, the truth is there was a falling of! at the ware houe of 60 per cent and at the only other ware house in Jackson there was a gain of 20 or 25 per cent. ‘"The great Christian principle’’ in this business eems to be the same one actuating Wall street, viz: to get afellowH mony and keep it. Say Mr. Mc- Candless, does the Alliance believe in keeping the monev as much as possible in the hands of the peo ple? Of course it does. But it is the other fellow, that i 3, the one that hasnt the money that believes that. Now my friend surely does not mean to “throw oft" on brother Bennett because the old man joined the People’s party in his old age, Brother Rennet had a perfect right to do that if he thought it was best and still he an Allianoeman. No. you see the brother Bennetts are turning the grindstone now and they have ground out about four thousand dollars, one thousaud of which they want disbursed, but the great Caesar says no, drive on. It is not this money that should be kept in the hands of the people, its the other money. “Gee Mike/’ He further says something of “gaP and then asks who are these Caesars who have de cided to disburse? Now so far as “gall” is concerned we are willingly ignorant. Those who have decided this question are the tub-alliances in electing their members of the Board of Directors. Without any gall in it we would ask who else could say? The truth is the people will do as they please with it wheth er those who have gotton all thb cream and who desire more cream wishes them to or not. This dictito ative spirit which is determined to rule or ruin has always ruined in the past and the probability is that lawyers will get a slice as well as the receivers if the wool hat brother Benuetts can have no voice in * his matter. The state Alliance Ex chcngeis a fair sample ol what would be the result of a commercial investment of the surplus funds. \Y hat we need to do is to pay ofl the certificates of stock by which we can take up those certificates that have fallen into other than aN liancernen‘B hands and issue other certificates bearing interest payable annually and transferable to Al liarcemen only. Then we could build a business as permanent as the hills and the order would be strengthened and solidified until 12 or 15 thousand bales of cotton a season would be an average vears work, whereas, this bohe of content tion will gip the very life of our en terprise if it is persistently held in hulk. Under the rules governing the warehouse, section 10 reads : That the dividends accruing on stock be paid annually in cash. Set tion 5 provides thot all profits on stock and certificates shall be shared by all alike. Now do you think # that a man with brains enough to grease a gimlet would let his money work for noth ing and the stockholder draws out 12 per cent on his money anu then come in for an equal division of the co.-operative fund. Any man knows that a capital stock of $5,000 which would encumber the property to its full value as well as exhaust the surplus would not do any business. But you say we would use the notes as collateral to buy goods, which is using the brethrena’ credit and they simply have to put up a bonus of $5,000 to get what they already have. viz. a credit. We dout neeo money as we do customers, nor us much as we do cooperation aad uniiy, for coopera tion is capital. We need to build ourselves and not our business". There is but little money needed to run a tannery and if the brethren wish to experim at on a tannery it w !l iot in any way interfere with disbursement. Let every brother in the order know that he will draw his money in July, however little it is, ardyou will see such a swarm of wagons around the Warehouse as was not reached in the palmiest days of the order .So stand to voir rights bre?h ren,and ask for voui money, which s bound up at present in ron interest bearing certificates, and I*et the wide world wag as she will. But well be gay and happy -till. ZX+JT BROWN’S IRON BITTERS C'isx s Indigestion, Biliousness, hyspejisia. Mala. Vorro-.issicss, auit Oeuerai Debility. I'hysi i-luiis rtHHiiu .K-ml it.

No sympathy felt for a man who is a fool tw : ce, When gossip beats the drum of the ear the tongue tells the tune. Some men pray without thinking and gome men thing without pray ing. While one woman is quiet the other ninety-nine is asking her why etie is. A Qov er grows wherever a kind word is spoken. Tears are sorrow’s diamonds. Ababy is a blossom on which there are a few thorns. What a man is, he was in the be gini ing. A charity is rose that blooms all the year. A broken heart shows in the face. Cupid is a bachelor. The morning is the tornic of the day. A fool and a fast horse are soon parted. Pleasure is time; happiness is eternity. Evey smil6 chases a winkle away. Most people don't know why they marry. ROBERT. The three year old stallion weighing between fourteen and fifteen hundred pounds is 15-16 Clyde. He was sired by a thor oughbred Clyde, in a dam 3-4 Clyde. He is perfectly sound and trained to work in single and double harness. Ho is a dark chestnut brown, bail faced- The Clyde is superior to the Norman in that, while he has all the Nor man’s draught qualities he can travel with any other breed. He was brought by me to this state from northern Illinois for my own use, but owing *0 a change in business I have decided to sell him. I would prefer someone would buy him who would keep him in the community, for it there is any thing we need here it is better stock on our farms.

All dealers keep it Fox-Terriers and Elephants. The visitors to the Central Park menagerie, New York, often won der why fox-terriers are always to be found in the enclosures with the elephants. It is simply because if they were not there the rats, which are many and large, would eat the feet of the elephants off. The elephants are chained, and when they lie down they cannot keep the rascally rodents from gnawing at their feet. So a fox terrier is kept with them, whose business it is to see that the rats are driven away, or to kill as many as possible. The elephants appre ciate the dog, too. Lately the rats began to gnaw holes in the thick hide of a rhinoceros. So a terrier was placed with this beast, and in one night killed twenty-seven rats. Rats are one of the greatest pests which the keepers have to fight. CAPRICE’S rnXei. Hie only Pure Cream of iartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum.
