The worst yet baa been prepetrated
by a western editor. Ho says that
when the bronchos ol BoMsveil’a be.
gin to buck and tbe riders have neith
er saddle nor bridle they will “remem
ber the mane.**—Americna Herald.
Col. R. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of
agriculture, was nominated for senator
of tbe 35th district last week, but has
decided not to accept. It is said that
the colonel will retire to hie farm and
give up polities alter tbe expiration of
bis term as commissioner.
The'story that American soldiers
pM wore mutilated by ’ the Spanish after
being kilted in battle has been denied,
and the denial seems to have been au
thentic. ,Thin will relieve Spain of the
disgrace that such an act would bare
brought upon tor as a nation.
Tbe old bachelor editor of the
Thomasville Times says: It must b* a
sad disappointment to some wives to
learn that married men are not wantet
io tbo army* It occurs to us that o
all men, these would bo beet adapter
for war. They have been in it.
Three of the grandsons of Admire
Bapbael Semmes, who commanded
the famous Confederate cruiser Ala
bama, are now in the army and navy
of tbe United States They are tbe
eons ol Gen. E. L Wright, wbo mar
ried the Admiral’s daughter. Gen.
Wright was himself an artillery officer
in tbo Confederate army.
Tbe committee having in charge tbe
arrangements for tbe seventeenth in
. ternational convention of tbe Young
People’s Society of Christian Endeavor
to bo held at Nashville, Tenn., July 8
to 11, announces to the world that ev
erything is now io readiness, and tbo
city is anxiously awaiting the opportu
nity to welcome tbe jubilant throngs
that will come from every state, terri
tory and many foreign lands.
Th® Beckoning Day.
After the war is over and it will not,
be deemed unpatriotic to criticise tbo
authorities there will boa lively time
in uncovering old accounts.
Many men who.are posing as pa
triots now will have the msaka torn
off and revealed in their true life.
Tbe manner ia which the govern
ment has s'ready been swindled in tbe
purchase of supplies, and more, es
pecially of ships is “outrageous and
ought to send bqh parties to the
'transaction to tbo penitentiary. It is
useless to say that tbe exigences of tbe
service demanded the purchase at any
price. No such emergency has yet
arisen as to justify “war prices” .for
supplies.
It is reliably said that many sena
tor* end representatives are in pumas<
sion of facte that will bring to shame
many men who are prominent now,
but they are restrained from exposing
tbe ebady transactions by considera
tions of public prudence, but when
peace is declared tbe day ol reckoning
will have dawned and the party rae*
ponsibe for tbo outrage will bo swept
from tbo earth.—Rome Tribune.

•‘lt may seees strange tossy su” re-
BMMrked • lawyer tfai otb<sr it
te tree. tu^ertbeleef. that there are men
tn tbo city wbo are getting ricb by es
tablishing restaurants that do not pay.
This is tbe way they do it: A cheap
shop is rented and fitted up as a reataa
rant at a cost, say. $ ,5 ,°- Food rai
ned at about SIOO ia purchased, and
SMBe jwdiciooa advertising is done.
Stu food is sold for the money then
than customea can get anywhere else
fat the neighborhood. Tbe result is a
crowded restaurant, though the pro
prietor ia losing money steadily. When
be has a first elam line at patrons and
be appears to be doing a big business,
he advertfoec tbe place for sale. 11l
health or a desire to move south, east
gr west is qbe rtf tbo excusea Custom
ers appear promptly, and tbe proprietor
usually sells his place for $1,200 or
SI,BOO, half in cash. Hte investment
has not been more than S4OO, so be
clears from SBOO to SI,OOO. Os course
tbe place proves a failure, and the pur
chaser loses fate money. Tbe restaurant
starter, however, moves to another por
tion of tbe city and repeats his enter
prise.”
The lawyer said that be recalled one
pim in particular wbo had started no
tern than ten restaurants in the last six
months, all of which be sold. With two
exceptions tbe places did not pay, and
tbe men wbo bought them were com
pelled to close them.—New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
Tba Schoolyard.
To spend large sums of money on
architectural beauties and stone carv
iagsof historic ornaments—which have
but little attraction for children—to.
make a school building look like a pal
ace and then to leave the schoolyard
looking like a desert or the top of a bi
tuminous lake, without a single attrac
tive flower or one bit of beauty, are Jn
conslstencies which seem
in tbe modern system of education.
Weather beaten houses in the country,
log cabins on the frontier*, railroad sta
tions in tbe Great American desert and
all over our country have their beauti
ful flower gardens, and it refreshes
One’s soul to see. them, but there is no
such source of refreshment, inspiration
and instruction where children are be
ing educated in the ‘‘essentials. ’’—Hen
ry Lincoln Clapp in Popular Science
Monthly.
Leese* Tear Wants.
More of tbe true enjoyment of life
lies in this maxim than is generally
thought We may indeed go to extremes
and cut to the quick, like that cynio
philosopher who threw away his wood
en cup on seeing a vagrant boy drink
from the hollow of his hand. But the
truth is we create many of our own ne
eemitiea, and with the growth oQumy
naw wants eome-in, not by oneCndFby
tens, but by hundreds.—New York
Ledger.
TMe “Hrd*e” Doctor.
. A “hedge” doctor, a kind of quack in
Ireland, was being examined at an in
quest on his treatment of a patient wbo
had died. “I gave him ipecacuanha, ”
he said. ” You might just as well have
given him the aurora borealis, ” said the
coroner.
"Indade, yer honor, and that’s just
what X should have given him next if
he hadn’t died. ” —Hospital Gazette.
Enterprising Druggists.
There are tew men more wide awake
and enterprising than J. N. Harris &

no pains to secure the beet of every
thing io their line for their many cus
tomers. They now have the valuable
agency lor Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
This is the wonderful remedy that is
producing such a furor all over the
country by its many startling cures.
It absolutely cures Asthma, Bronchitis,
Hoarseness and all affections of the

‘'BETTER SETTLE UP
before your bills get too high,” Uncle Sam
advises Spain. Some young couples are
thinking of “settling down” instead just
now, and feathering their nest with every
thing that is appropriate for a new home.
They will do well to examine our superb
stock of fine furniture, that we are selling
at such attractive prices, before going
elsewhere. We have soma beauties in
