An Exchange gives this advice: “If j u have a grudge against your neigh bor, don’t poison his dog—buy his lit lie boy’s drum.” There is uo human fraud greater ibau the alleged reformer who talks like a saint and votes like a tough.— Sparta Ishmaelite. 4 Tour face seems very familiar to me,” sa'd the good deacon. “Mebbe it is,” feplied the other tnau; 44 1 can’t keep track of ’em all. I’m O’Reagan’s bat keeper.” “ 1 oung man,” said the old gentle, man sadly, “I have only one daugh ter.” That needu’t worry you,” re plied the prospective son-in-law. *‘l only want one.” Tue largest raft ever Moated on the Missisippi is on its way to St. Louis. It is 7GB feet lung and contains 9,000, 000 feet of lumber, with 60 carloads of shingles and laths on its deck. A correspondent of the Sparta Ish maelite thus muses: “The collection days have come, the saddest of the year. '1 ho Justice court Bailiff reaches forth and catches the farmer by the ear.” A country editor, observes the Blakely Reporter, has taken the trou ble to return thanks to Mr, McKinley fur bis kindness in shortening the cot t"U crop early enough for the farmers to get the benefit of the high prices. A Missouri editor makes this apolo gy “We expected to have a death aud marriage to publish this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and the doctor being sick himself the patient recovered, and we are accord ingly cheated of both.” The election for State and county of Mcers in Pike Wednesday passed off quietly.

A fellow devil sounis tbe born of his own towu thus: “Our towu is looking up —that is— the town is Hit ou its back looking up- Some new houses have gone up—.(in smoke.) Three citizaus have recently located here. They are in jail.” Nothing like standing up for your town. Dtltou Argus Devil. It might be well for other churches to follow the example of the Baptist church at Bowman. According to the amendment of its coustitutiou which was recently adopted, all of its mem bers are to pay their debts or be , xpelled from the church, the church beiug the judge as to their ability to pay —EI bertou Star. I'be following is an incident of the Galveston, Texas, flood and disas ter: V, A mm uarned Ayers, who is em ployed m the Custom House, cluug to a raft, aud while floating aloug s tw two c’.iidreu s ruggliug in the water. He seized them, and then discovered the raft would siuk if all three remained apou it. He jumped into the water aud pushed the raft against a telegraph pole. He put tbe children in a stable aud fell asleep on tbe raft. When he awoke be was on the ground. He came up town, forgetting all about the chil dren. Next day he thought of them, aud going to tbe stable found them cry ing. He recognized them as his sister’s children. The mother was lost.” Some Plain 'l'alk. At the late reunion of of the Grand Army of the republic at Chicago a res olution was adopted condemning the school histories of the South. In no ticing this setion the Baltimore Sun says : “The B<>uth raises its own school tunds and educates" its children without the assistance of the grand Army or the general government. It is uuder uo obligations to exalt the prowess or the patriotism of the Grand Army, or to sit eternally in sackcloth and ashes, and to cultivate a meek and lowly epir it because the Grand Army has a poor opinion of the Southern Confederacy —its generals, its armies, aud its prin ciples. The fact is the south is atten ding to its own business, and it would be much more fo the credit and profit of the Grand Army if it adopted a rim ilar course. It m-ikes itself ridiculous when it talks about banishing certain histories from the public schools in the southern states. The empire 16 not yet established in this country, and until the emperor is firmly seated upon the throne in Washington the Grand Army will not be given control of the public schools in the Southern States.” Mir. Ilrjan oil Destiny. ‘‘lt may be that we have run our race; it may bo that we have reached a turning point in our career. It may be that destiny—destiny that is never known till it is past —it may be that destiuy has determined that this nation like so many other Lations in the past, is to prove again the old truth that the wages of sin is death. It may be that it is destiuy for this nation to show once mqre that when the dollar becomes greater than the man thegovernmeut must decliue. It may be that love of money has so taken pos session of the American people that they are willing to sell their birthright fur mass of pottage. That may be destiny. No one has a right to declare what destiny is. That may be our destiuy; but what is our duty? Lin coln says that it is our duty to do right.” Walt tor Her. Once I was young, but now I am old, and have never seen a girl that was unfaithful to her mother that ever became worth a one eyed button to her husbaud. It is the law of God. I> isu t exactly the Bible, but it is written ten large and awful in the miserable lives of many misfk homes. I’m speak ing for the boys this time. If one of you chaps ever corno across a girl like that, witu a face full of roses, says to you as she c mes to the door, “I can’t go for thirty minutes yet, for the dishes are not washed,” you wait for that girl. You sit right down on the door step aud wait for her, because some other fellow might come aloug and carry her off, and right there you lose an angel. Wait for that girl aud stick to her like a burr to a mule’s tail. Se lected. 4*oo«i for Our lteailcrs W’no have scrofula taints in their blood, aud who has not? Scrofula in all its forms is cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla which thoroughly purifies the blood. This disease which frequently appears iu children is greatly to be dreaded. It is most likely to affect thp glauds of the neck, which becomes enlarged, eruptions appear on the head aud face, and the eyes are frequently effected Upon its first appearauce, perhaps in slight eruptions or pimples, scrofula should he entirely eradicated from the system by a thorough coarse of Hood’s Sarsaparilla to prevent ail the paiuiul and sickeuing cousequeuces o) ruuuiug scrofula sores, which drain the system, sap tbe strength aud make existence utterly wretched. Old Gentleman—Do you mean to say that your teacher never thrashes you ? Little Boy—Never! We has moral suasiou at our school. Old Gent—What’s that ? Boy—Ob, we get kep in, and stood up iu corners, aud locked out, and locked in, aud made to write one word a thousand times, and scowled at, and jawed at, aud—that’s all. To Hang; tn Newton. ftfauzo Glover, colored, who shot and instantly killed Cary Henderson, uear here about three months ago, was tried "last week, and sentenced by Jadgo J B Estes to be hangel ou No vember 15 th The crime was committed on Mr. J. T. Wright’s place, three miles from town, about one o’clock Sunday morn ing and was a esse of cold blooded mur der. The negroes had a big party on the place Saturday night and s me half a dczsn stayed there, presumably gam bling aud began disputing abcut the money, when the Glover negro pulled the other negro from the house aud shot him one time through the back while ruuning, thereby causing instant death. He left the county and made his way to Lawerenceville. Sheriff Anderson hearing of his move, wired the chief of police of Lawreuceville, who arrested him on Monday afternoon and lodged him jail. Glover is a young negro aud is not over 22 years of age.—Covington En terprise. A Negro Killed. In a “crap game” last Sunday just over the line in Monroe county, Henry Benton killed John Brownlee. The negroes were in a pine orchard drinV ing and playing cards when a dif ficulty arose. The Brownlee negro said he was going home after a shot gon and if Benton was there when he come back he was going to kill him. Sure enough soon after he reappeared with a shot gun, but Benton was too quick for him, for pulling a pistol he centered him in the forehead and Brownlee was hauled out of the pine orchard's dead negro. Benton was captured and turned over to Sheriff Crawford, who will give him up to the authorities of Monroe. Benton was under a SSOO bond for kil ling another negro, Mr. Lum Garr be ing bis bondsman, and it is likely that Benton will be tried here for murder before being given up to the authorities of Monroe.—Jackson Argus.
