dots from dexter,
^ pRIL 12.—Dexter is on a
boom at present. One house
just been erected and three
handsomely painted. The
church has been completed and
also neatly painted. It will be
dedicated on the third Sunday in
this mon th—19th.
Dexter claims a population of
200 persons and out of that num
her 126 have had the measles since
the first of January.
The album voted off for the
benefit of the Baptist church, to
the most popular young lady, has
been awarded to Miss Hattie Tntt.
Something over $128 00 was* re¬
alized from the voting.
Quite a number of Dextentes
went out to Snow Hill last Sunday
week, and some of the boys came
back looking sad. Their best girls
were not there.
Guess who the young man is
who wanted to break up with his
girl, and made arrangements with
another young man to break them
up, and his girl “dreamed” of the
plan they were trying to work, and
told him all about it and declared
she dreamed it. The young man
says he can break up hereafter
without any help.
Messrs. Ben Tutt, J. B. Daniel
and 13. O. Rogers went over to
Montrose a Sunday or two ago and
say they earned the day.
Peach Bloom.
The Bang of the Boom.
The day of the boom is upon us.
The boom of the candidates great
and small are being launched daily.
The air is all a-tremble with booms.
If you do not hear them you are
deafer than the deafest adder that
ever added, The joint debate is
but the lizz of the fuse of the fire¬
cracker that will presently split
the silence of the waiting spheres.
There are booms and booms. 1 here
are presidential booms, senatorial
booms, cogressional booms, legis¬
lative booms, and the boom of even
the county office boometh up and
down the land, while the patient
mule of tfie candidate paws up the
ground in the corner of the fence
and breathes a sigh you can hear a
mile. But the boom builder heed
eth not, and the boom boometh.
You can hear it banging the battle
mmtsof heaven and making the
hidden waters of the earth fizz like
geysers. If you have not heard it
yet don't worry. You will It is
nearly due. It will be along before
the summer covers the Piedmont
escarpment with garlands and
shingles the mountains with certi¬
fications of good climate. The
Noontoolley chatters over the
stones, the blue jay sits high on a
hickory limb, and Nuckollsville is
fixing to order a primary. Spring
is upon us, and in spring the young
man’s fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of—office. And straight¬
way from the greased w’&y of his
soul’s ambition helanceth a boom.
He is on the wing, the air begins
to be vocal of him, the returning
vernal goose honks his name high
up in the blue ether, and his boom
runs a-muck w ith the other booms.
The bang of the boom is heard in
the land. ’Tiswell. Let her boom.

BULLYING BARRISTERS.
Aud How They Are Sometimes Crm;H*d
by Smart Witnesses.
Somo little time ago the Rev. J.
P. Bacon Phillips, founder of the
Vv iLoesses’ Protection society, was
kind enough to come up to town
from Crovhurst rectory on purpose
to ho interviewed by the present
writer on the subject of repartee in
the witness bos. To the courtesy of
this gentleman, therofore, am I in¬
debted for the droll examples of
wordy duels which follow.
On one occasion Sir Frank Lock
wood was defending a man in York¬
shire who was accused of stealing
cattle, or “beasts,” to use the north
country term. One witness for the
prosecution declared he beheld the
whole transaction from afar.
“Now, my man,” quoth Mr. Lock
wood (as he then was), severely,
“you must be extremely careful in
your statements. You say you
watched this affair for some time.
Tell me now how far can you see a
beast to really know its points?”
“Just as faar off as I am from you,
maaster, ” ropliod the yokel earnest¬
ly, and the great Q. C. subsided.
There was a civil action in the law
courts some time ago, mainly con¬
cerning money matters. The plain¬
tiff stated calmly in the witness box
that his financial position had al
ways been satisfactory.
Counsel for the other side rose
with a truly portentous air, and
quirod if ho had ever bocoino bank
rupt.
Plaintiff said be had not.
4 4 Pray bo careful, sir. Remember,
you aro on oath. Do you mean to toll
tho court you never stopped pay¬
ment? I 9
“Well,” was tbo reply, “now you
come to call it to my mind, I believe
I did on one occasion.”
t 4 Ah, I thought wo should arrive
at it presently. ” And counsel took
a long draft of water, in an impres¬
sive and theatrical way. “Now, sir,
when did that happen?”
“After I had paid all my debts,”
was tlio crushing reply.
The court fairly shrieked with
laughter, and tbo judge laughed, too,
while the usher was so stricken wiih
merriment that he was far from re¬
storing order.
Tlio writer was prosent in court
when tlio following amusing passage
took place between counsel and wit¬
ness in a disputed will case.
4 4 Did your father give you no part¬
ing admonition? 5 9
4 4 He never gavo much away at any
time. ”
4 4 I mean to say, what were his last
words?”
4 4 Tlioy don’t consarn you.”
4 4 They not only concern me, sir,”
remarked tho barrister severely,
“but they concern tho wholo court. ”
“Oh, all right,” was the reply.
“Father said, ‘Don’t have no trouble
when I’m gone, Jim, ’cos lawyers is
the biggost thieves unhung. 1 J 1
4 4 I can teach you law, sir, but I
cannot toacli you manners,” said an
exasperated counsel to a small, meek
witness.
The latter quietly replied, “That
is so, sir,” and people laughed con
sumedly.
The offensively familiar witness
is a sore trial. The dignity and eru¬
dition of the most eminent Q. C. are
thrown away on him. In an impor¬
tant case recently heard in the chan¬
cery division a loquacious witness
was asked the question:
“What sort of a man was he?”
The reply came swiftly, “Just an
undersized, red faced chap, like
yourself.”—London Standard.
Hats as Scavengers.
Birmingham is overrun with rats
that are fed from the sewers. The
authorities have taken no steps to
exterminate them because Mr.
Chamberlain, when mayor, declared
that rats were good scavengers and
^
spread of disease.

Those who are troubled
rheumatism shGuld try a few ap
plications of Chamberlain’s Pa'n
Balm, rubbing the parts vigorously
at each application. If that does
not bring relief dampen a piece of
flannel with Pain Balm and bind
it on over the seat of pain and
prompt relief will surely follow.
