es. He told us that he pulled up that an¬
other bunch that had 90 stalks but
he w ould not show that one because in
pulling it up, he unintentionally sepa¬
rated the stalks, hence he thought it
might be said that they did not all orig¬
inate from the same grain. Mr. S. is

have occasion to misrepresent anoth er
Democratic convention, we would sug¬
gest as his signature the odius term,
scalawag, or carpet-bagger, instead of
the {name of one of the Greek let
terra, “Zeta.” Why should any
“nickel-plated” Democrat .trouble

all true men will support the nominee.

—Hon. F. II. Colley, of Washington,
passed through our village oh profes¬
sional business on last Saturday and
called in for a few hours during the
warmest part of the day. Old Wilkes
should be proud of one so worthy of
admiration, and we feel that the 29th
will manifest their appreciation in the
approaching Senatorial contest.

hard at work euttin’ grain ’bout by \ he

—The examination of the pupils of
St. Joseph Convent, was very interes¬
ting and no doubt the patrons were
perfectly satisfied, not only that the
children applied themselves, but reflect¬
ed credit on the efficiency of their teach¬
er. After the conclusion of their recita¬
tions,Father O’Brien delivered a splen¬
did lecture touching the importance of
education, duty of children to parents,
obligation of parents towards their
children, benefits obtained by early
training and disadvantages caused by
neglect. Those are facts worthy the
consideration of every parent.

It dosen’t follow that a patient will die
because the doctors have “given him up,”
or that he will recover because they prom¬ too
ise to “pull him through.’’ It is of never Parker's
late to try the Michael great Guilfoyle, virtues of Bing¬
Tonic. Mr.
hamton, N. Y., was cured of Rheumatism
by it after ten years of unspeakable suf¬
fering. Mr. R. W Mosher, druggist, of

thousand bottles of Parker’sTonic through
its reputation for this and other cures,
