Editor Smith of the Ashburn Advance has a proposition before him now that ought to call him off of the attention lie lias been E aving to Oordele’s populist pa- r. In an article written by a .'or- spoiid 'nt of his paper at Deep Creek we Hud the following: '••Bro.

Let’s see it is going to accept tbe proposi¬ tion.—Arab) School Journal. The correspondent happened not to be one of the golden Imire 1 girls, and the golden haired girls on Deep Creek have a way of having their own way about things. They will not accept u Common editor when they can go further and do worse. ~ £*£*£ I gin, undone* did service in the office of the Smithville News. Lee county, this State, writes F. L. Staunton in the Constitution. The date of its birth is lost in antiqui- ty, but there has never been any doubt in the minds of the editors ; who have manipulated it, that, it was old enough to know better. It is a cross between the hand I press invented by Washington and a neglected cornsheller, and and is curiously inscribed with tne desperate and hieroglyphics edit- of ancient, long creaked, suffering with ers. Its joints as the rheumatism, and when the paper went to press it had a way of falling down and so mixing up the railroad schedules that the trains never knew what time to leave. Every blacksmith in the county has exhausted his skill upon it, and it has been patched and prayed over until it is a mere remnant of its former self. When Sherman passed through Georgia to the sea, his men used of it for battering rams; but when be started to print a few official orders on it., it proved its loyalty to a lost cause by falling down and distributing the type all the room, It has been burned out six times, and in the earth¬ quake of 188t)it was dismembered and thrown on the railroad where it wrecked the cannon-ball train five minutes afterwards, Tlie sheriff lias levied on it twen- ty times, only to pay tbe editor to take it back, and from the perch it used to occupy in lowlands of Lee it overlooked the graves of fourteen editors, and old and ailing as it is, it is (lea- tined to go rumbling down the corridors of time as long as an ed itor needs groceries. ' The Country Newspaper. Below we give a few of the pithy sayings of Montgomery Folsom in the Atlanta Journal on Country Nmvspapers and Editors: The life of the flesh is in the blood. Tbe life of tbe land is in the country newspaper. It is al- ways well edited because man, woman and child in the town takes a baud in the editing. It is the champion of all sorts reforms, and is privileged to jurnp on anything it pleases out- side the town limits where it is published. The country newspaper is u great power because it points out the iniquities and shortcomings of rival towns, and keeps people from the habit of believing theirs is tbe most desirable place of existence in the universe. Tbe country newspaper is like a watchman on tbe wall, and nothing escapes its keen and crit¬ ical vision. It is a compendium of fact fun and philosophy. Whom it would destroy it first makes mad. It is a dangerous thing t „ get mad with tbe editor. He has claws in ins bind feet and call get a “fellow coming and get him agwine” Some editors are gifted wonderful versatillity. I know of one who not only edits his pa¬ per, but is postmaster, is a preacher , having , . charge , of , , country churches, is mayor of the to-wn, a temperance orator of tho most terrible sort, and is conteu- .dating a race for the. ‘egts ature to utilize his spare turn, lie is also a farmer and agent for tlie ates odi ion of a patent, churn. The country editor contributes more to the building ot cliurclies and school bouses than any other individual in town. Whereas the S- the .. editor columns , _ 1Z ives many or space that is worth ten cents a line, home politicians are born great, some achieve greatness and otlrors go through the world thinking they are a darned sight greater than they really are. but the greatest of all is the editor. It has been demonstrated by ac¬ tual and incontrovertible evidence that the sanctum of a country ed¬ itor will produce more beats than ten acres of tbe nest beet land in Germany. But the editor is a generous heart cuss, aiql never lias the to turn any away who ap- peal to him with their specious schemes. When 1 ran a country uewspa- per I taught, my family to do the vegetarian act during the »IIU1 . uior mouths, and iu winter when hog killing time came around 1 encouraged carniverousness. in early spring i bad a turnip sallel patch iu the rear of theotfice, and the result was that we waxed tat and were always on the crest of the wave.

I have never en¬ joyed life quite so much as dur¬ ing these halcyon days, and I have a tender spot ih my heart for the country editor.

(J., to the Wilmington Mes- setiger says: received Governor Russell has a stirring appeal to come tolhc res¬ cue and drive from the State the vile “sanctification nd” which has afflicted the eastwn counties. The letter says: “We beg you to stop violators of the laws of God and man,which are disturbing tbe good people of our section. There is a band among us known as the’Lynch- ites' going about, in wliat they call ‘arks,’ or floats; and who are teaching the people that, no mat¬ ter what they do so long as they | are ‘sanctified’ it is no sin. The result is they are parting man and wife. Tbe women claim to become sanctified, and then what- ever they do is no sin. These | people are telling people that er sanctification they can be any man’s spiritual wife. They are | demoralizing the whole country, ruining young wojweu and bring- lug strife among the people. They g 0 80 far as to say that ministers who have been preach- ing God’s Word for twenty and forty years should be killed. Young women are drowning their > offspring iu numbers. Many are going crazy. The leaders are tbe | meanest and lowest people in the world and were driven from Vir- j ginia on account of their behavior j in that State.
