Standby Your Town. The following from an exchange is applicable to every community. “The growing of a town depend.- very milch on the character of the people that make up its popula tion. This may seem so self evi dent a truth as not to need any mention, but we wish to call atten tion to one class of people who work much injury to their town. We refer io the grumblers who run down their own place as a business point and think every other place has a better opening. The men who refuse to stand by their own town are not a few in number, and their influence is a bad one If a stranger comes along to invest in some business he is told by these croakers lie is ‘no good,’ and if they could get away themselves they would he glad to do it. There is too much competition already, and they did not believe a business man in town was making money. They tell the new comer lie makes a mistake if he invests, and they would advise him not to. Such talk is enough to discourage the most enthusiastic investor and drive him away. There are few towns which have no representa tion of this class of croakers. They may mean no harm, and no doubt would like to see their places advance but they themselves are the barnacles which prohibit any progressive movement. Stand by your town and sound its praises if you would see it grow. Encour age investments and competition, for by them will improvement come.” The Rugby Colony. The colony at Rugby Tenn., is by no means a failure that many have vaguely believed it to have been. A letter from there seys: “Those settlers who were able to give an affirmative answer to Tom Hughes’ question, “Am I prepared for some years, during the working hours of the day, to live the life of a peas ant, or, in other words, to earn my living out of the soil by my own la bor ?” are doing more than well. It is this limitation, “during work hours,” which forms oue of the chief attractions of the settlement. For at other times, when the settler’s work is done, he finds himself in a cultured society, within easy reach of all real essentials of civilization, beginning with a library of 0,000 volumes, and one of the best tennis courts in the State, don’t you know. Whoever is ready, as Mr. Emerson puts it, to place himself in primary relations with the soil and nature, and to take his part bravely with his own hands in the manual la bor of this world, will find at Rug by as favorable conditions for the experiment as lie is likely to get in any part or the world.” IF YOU ARE GOI3STO- "WEST, iorthwest, —OH— SOUTHWEST, BE SURE Your Tickets Read via the 1.

Agent, Nash ville, Tenu Didn’t Want to Die There One day during the noted Ken tucky campaign, and while the Confederate army was passing through Allen county, General Breckenridge, approaching Gener al Hindman, said: “We sre only a short distance now from Bear Waller and are not very far from Jimtown.” The solemnity of his manner attracted Hindman’s serious at tention, and regarding Brecken ridge with a long look of inquiry, he asked: “But, General, why does nearness to those places so cern you ?” “Well, you see,” Breckenridge replied, “I fear it will be my fate to he killed in an action at Jimtown or Bear Waller—Bear Waller,” he repeated. “The thought of being killed at a place bearing such a name makes me sick,”—Ark. Trav eller. our con- A Man that Kisses. A Washington letter-writer says Senator Vance likes a joke, and rel ates the following: One day when he was governor of North Carolina, it is said that he was riding on horseback along a road about ten miles from the cap ital when a stranger overtook him. The two men fell into conversa tion, and the stranger told Vance he had been to Raleigh to sec the Governor and that he had called at his house but that he was not at home. “Did you see the Governor’s wife asked Vance. “Yes,” was the reply. “And did you kiss her?” The man, very much astonished, replied: “No; but she was very pretty and I should have liked nothing better.” “Well, I’ve kiss’ed her,” contin ued Vance, “and I never meet her hut that 1 do so.” And thereupon, after enjoying the man’s astonish ment for a moment he told that he was the Governor. One Baptism Enough. Chester Methodists are some what exercised, says the Philadelphia Record, over a new phrase of the question of baptism as presented by asometvhat singular local church trouble. .Several members of M. E. Church, of which Rev. Thomas E. Kelly is pastor, became converts to the plan of baptism by immersion, af ter the Baptist fashion, and propos ed to satisfy their convictions by a rebaptism, The pastor of Trinity Church had given his permisfion, and Rev. M. McCleavland, of a Bap tist church, had tendered the use of the pool in his church for the ceremony. All arrangements had been made, and in anticipation of the event a large crowd of curious people had gathered about the Baptist church building, at Second and Penn streets. It was therefore a general disappointment when it was announced that the baptism had been postponed on aacount of the serious opposition of the high officials of Trinity church, who de clared that if the attempt were persisted in by the consent of the Methodist pastor, the church mem bers would be turned out and the pastor presented for trial for con senting to an unlawful act. The Methodist discipline recog nizes and permits baptism either by immersion, sprinkling or pour ing, and it was under this provision that the pastor and the members who desired rebaptism were acting. It appears, however, that there is a subsequent provision in the dis cipline, as follows: “The rebaptism of persons known to have been previously baptized is inconsistent with the nature and design of baptism as set forth in the New Testament.” The question at issue is whether this is an absolute prohibition. The members who de sired to be baptized by immersion now threaten to join the Baptist Church. The affair has created considerable feeling in Chester Methodist circles. One Thing That Will ray. The more I examine into the handling of a small flock of sheep by each of the small farmers of the cotton States, the more I am convinced that there is no thing that .will pay them so well and .will make them as fair a profit at so little cost or labor. It is true that to succeed well it is necessary that the farmer should understand thebusihess. But if he will begin with a small flock of sheep and study the business he will soon learn, jWhen a sheep gets sick it generaly dies, and I doubt if givieg them medicine does much good; the main thing is to keep them from getting sick. To do this give them clean water to drink, good dry shelter in rainy weather and keep it clean; then as dry pas tures as you have, with good grass Next feed off and use for mutton all the old sheep; keep none but young healthy-ones. As to which is the best breed much depends upon what use is to he made of the flock. If they are worked for wool alone, and in large flocks, then the Merino is the sheep But for mutton for lambs, then tlio Southdown is the sheep or a cross of Southdown and Cotswold. But for those in the cotton States who are not well posted in sheep rais ing, my advice is to get the best you can of native ewes and cross the first time with Cotswold bucks, and then with Southdown This gives a fair wool and a very good constitution. In crossing breeds, the shepherd must strive to increase the size,improve the shape the length and closeness of the fleece.—Southern Letter. For Ingrowing Nails. Put a very small peice of tJllow in a spoon, and heat it over a lamp until it becomes very hot, and drop two or three drops of it be tween the nail and granulations The effect is almost magical Pain and tenderness are at once re lieved, and in a few days the gran illations are all gone, the diseased part dry and destitute of feeling and the edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being pared with out any inconvenience. The opera tion causes little or no pain, if the tallow is properly heated. Rheumatism. Diet not unfrequently has quite as much to do as exposure in pro ducing rheumatism. The following liniment recipe is good for use when one has it: Two tablespoon fuls of castor oil and one teaspoon- fulof spirits of turpentine; heat these together, then rub hard the part affected with a piece of flan nel saturated with the mixture, and bind oil the flannel upon retiring to bed, well saturated with the warm preparation. Lemon juice is rec ommended as a frequent cure for acute rheumatism, Take a table- spoonful to twice the quantity of cold water every hour. The census of Mexico gives the population at 0,680,777. No state lias 1,000,000; two States have less than 100,000, and several States have loss than 200,000 inhabitants. But.Senor Romero thinks that the population is really not far from 12,000,000. Ninety-two per.cent, of the popualtion lies south of the parellel of Tampico. More than half the wealth of the republic lies south of the northern.boundary of the federal district in which Mexi co City is situated. London. The great metropolis is without a rival for size and population. It contains 4,000,006 of people and covers an area of 117 square miles. Its population is almost equal to that of Canada; it is quite epual to that of Holland; it is greater than that of Scotland and double that of Denmark. It adds 70,000 people, or a city more than half the size of Toronto, to its population annually. Over its bridges every day 384,000 pedestrians and 75,000 vehicles pass, while its railways carry 373,000 persons daily. London is one of the Wcrnders of the age Like a piece of steel, that man is the strongest and most elastic who always retains his temper. The effect of no man’s sins termi nates with himself; often lie invol ves others in his own ruin. He who lives, and is done with life just as it drops hour by hour hour from his hand, is not half a man. Poverty may excuse a coat, but it is no excuse for morals. shabby shabby Cheerfulness is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within us as on the state, things without and around us. Good manners is the art of making those people easy with whom we converse. Whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy is the best bred. To express no more than realy is meaot is oneof the first steps toward eorret speech, just as carful pruning is as important to the vine as rich soil. He only is advancing in life whose heart is geting softer, whose blood warmer, whose brain quicker, whose spirit is entering into living peace. . .. The clouds of earth are not those which sweep across the .sun, but those which rise out of unhappy hearts and evil lives. It is said that Lula Hurst’s enter tainments in New York netted her father $4. 000. That is considerably more, perhaps, than Mr. Hurst has made out of his Georgia farm during the last ten years. It is al so said that the slender young man who introduces Lula to her audien ces has fallen in love in the Wonder and wants to marry her. The old gentleman, however, thinks that while Lulu is drawing in the Shekels so rapidly they had better delay the matrimonial part of the programme What is the reward of this be nign disposition ? Friends are ev er ready to assist the kind-hearted. Love and gratitude follow them, and if afflictions come with their crushing weight to bow down their spirits they reap a golden harvest from the blessings they have scattered in the path of their fellow-beings; and the seed, which in these few fleeting hours, their hands unsparingly and unweanedly sowed, shall deck their graves with amarinthine flowers and yield them fruit divine in heaven’s immortal bower. There is a “celebrated case” in Iron county, Mo., which has at last been brought to an end. It was all about the ownership of a little brown mule, worth about $60. It had been pending for years and had been tried many times in diff erent courts. There were seventy- five witnesses subpoenaed in the case, and the costs in the last trial amountdd to $600. The other celebrated mule case-that of “forty acres and a mele”—is still on the docket. Reliability. If you are fortunate enough to know a truly reliable man, make him your friend if you can. You can only do so, however, by assim- ulating his character. The reliable man is a man of good judgement. He does not jump at conclusions. He is not a frivolous man. He is thoughtful. He turns his subject over in his mind, and looks at It all round. He is not a partial or one sided man. He sees through a thing. He is apt to be a reticent man. He does not have to talk a great deal. He is a moderate man, not only in habits of body, but also of mind. He is not a passionate man; if so by nature, he has over come it by grace. He is a cincere man—not a plotter or schemer. What ae says may be relied on. He is a trust worthy man, You feel safe with your property or the administration of your affairs in his hands. He is a brave man, for his conclusions are logically deduc ed from the same sure basis of truth and he does not maintain them. He is a good man for no one can be thoroughly honest and truthful withont being good. Is such a quality attainable? Most assure dly so. It is not born—it is made. Character may be formed; of course then its component parts may be moulded to that formation To gain a spotless reputi tion is prize worth trying for. For Man and Wife. The instinct toward neatness and beauty dies hard in womankind, but it can be utterly destroyed by the slow process of discouragement and the fact that nobody cares The truth is, that human beings need not only to see cleanliness but to see freshness and variety and change; and the house clean ing should be no more an object of pleasure and interest to the wo man than to the man. There much that she can do without him She can scrub the floor, but he could and should whiten the ceil ing. She cannot paper the walls, perhaps, though many a farmer’s wife has done even that; but give her the money, and she will buy the paper and find some one to hang it. After her willing hands have scrubbed away last years’ fly specks, any man who can handle tools can make the frames for screens for her windows and doors If, besides this, he buys the pre pared paints, and little by little gives a fresh coat to the various rooms, it is no more than his share of the task.—Herald. From the New York Sun. Is Governor Cleveland a Republican. We think not; but some of the Republican newspapers which op pose Mr. Blaine are trying to con vince their readers that he is. Listen, for example, to what the politico-religious Independentsays “We vote for Mr. Cleveland, not because he is a Democrat, but be cause he is the better Republican of the two candidates.” This reason may be satisfactory to Republicans who disapprove of their own party nominations, but it is not satisfactory to Democrats If Mr. Cleveland is not a Demo crat, but is really a Republican who differs from Mr. Blaine chiefly in having a better character, he is not entitled to the support of the Democratic party, and should de cline its nomination. We supposed the Independent Republicans were going to vote for Cleveland because they preferred to put into the White house a Dem- crat who was honest rather than a Republican who was author of the Mulligan letters. It now appears however, that some of them are acting on the assumption that the Governor of New York is, after all? only a Republican in disguise. Mr. Cleveland will do well to dis pel this notion in his letter of ac ceptance. “I would rather be an idiot than an infidel. If I am an idiot. God made me one; if an infidel, I made myself one. A man may learn in fidelity from books or from his as sociates, but lie can’t llearn it from his mother nor from the works of God around him.”—Josh Billings. Great hearts alone understand how much glory there is in being ood. Men may preach, and the world will listen; but profits comes by example. Keep true thy deeds, thy honor bright, keep firm thy faith in God and right. Mr. Editor.—While I do not wish to detract one iota from the merits of the composition on “Re cent Events,” published in issue of June 27th, yet by permission will say I think that it is misleading in its theology if not its logic. The impression is sought to be made that God willeth not the death of any, it is even said that the Scrip ture sayeth the Lord willeth not the death of any.” Now if there is any such scripture, I have never seen it. It is written, “as I live say eth, the Lord God, I have np pleas ure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his wicked ways, and live,” having re ference to a spiritual death. The fail has long since gone forth from God that dust though art and unto dust shalt thou return. Now how to reconcile that declaration with the idea that the Lord willeth not the death of any is beyond my com prehension. The object seems to be to condemn some who are of the opinion that pits should not be dug. And for saying “the will of the Lord be don e”. Well this is scripture with which the di sciples comforted themselves when they could not persuade Paul from go ing to Jeruselam, is one very impor tant feature in the prayer of the Saviour in the garden, and also the prayer he taught his desciples. Now it may be an error in those who say pits should not be dug, but not in saying the will of the Lord be done for they have both precept and ex ample for it. But I do not believe that the neglecting of digging a pit will have have a similar result as that of immersing the head in wa ter and not immerging it.— Nor do I understand from the Bi ble that the rainbow was unfurled upon the bosom of the clouds, for the purpose of proclaiming that Carroll MASONIC Institute, seedtime and harvest should con tinue to the end of the world, but as a token that the world should be no more destroyed by water. The question is asked, when the spirit of the storm is aroused and the lightning sends forth its herald in to the storm clouds and when the binding together of the clouds shake the pillars of the universe with its tremendous roar, and the clash of resounding strife rings in our ears, why are we so frightened? Answer because we are not willing for the will of the Lord to he done. It seem s to me if I were a preacher of righteous ness and should at the appearance of a threatening cloud voluntarily leap into a pit beyond my depth, and emerging therefrom should find there had only been a refresh ing shower I should feel q uite abashed by the way. J. O. R. W, Fame, like a river, is narrowest at its source and broadest afar off If we wish to be judges of all things, let us first persuade our selves of this—that there is not one of us wirhout fault. End of A Noted Gambler. Washington, July 27.—Quite a famous character, who has resid ed here most of the time for the past ten years, died yesterday at Alexandria, Va., where he had gone from here for an airing. His name was Wm. H. Betts, and was born in Alabama. He was rather a fine looking man, about fifty years of age, and always wore a long beard reaching down to his vest. He was a major in the Confederate army, but has been prominent in Repub lican polities since the war. He was brought here by G. E. Spencer, now of Nevada, when he was a Senator from Alabama. Betts was a gambler and a desperate man, though for the past five years he lived by practicing law here in a small way. He killed six men in his time, four by shooting and two with a knife. He admitted all the offenses in a trial in New York sev eral years ago, when he was a wit- ness in a fight, but claimed that lie had to kill them in self-defense. Ev_ ery man whom he killed had a re volver pointed at him at the time* Yesterday afternoon not feeling well, he went to Alexandria on a steamer, Arriving there he was ta ken very ill. His friends prepared a place for him in a faro bank, and he died on a faro table with a card box for a pillow. Bill Betts has a re markable history. Ordinarily he was the mildest-mannered man, but when excited he was one of the most desperate men ever produced in the South. He was exceedingly reticent in his manner and seldom spoke to strangers. He won and, lost several fortunes at cards. CARROLL FREE PRESS. PUBLISHED EVEBY FRIDAY. EDWIN R. SHARPE, Publisher.
