After this issue the Ban¬ ner will be issued on Wednesday morning, in¬ stead of Tuesday afternoon as heretof ore. If reports are true, Col. W. H. Hulsey will come in as a third congressional candidate to repre¬ sent the fifth district. We wish to state that tlie'names of Alliancemen annexed to an ar¬ ticle in last week's Banner were put there, not by their permission, but on our own responsibility. We regret however, that we were misinformed as to Mr. J. W. Al rnand; and are also sorry that he did not inform us when he had an opportunity to do so. He has never offered us one word of cor¬ rection. Sam Jones, in Richmond, the other night, said: “The bon ton lady sits back and turns up her nose at what I say, but the devil has a mortgage on that old nose, and the forecloseure will soon come, and the old gal will go along to hell with her nose.” Af¬ ter this it is not strange to learn from the local paper that a num¬ ber of persons stood up for prayer. Col. R. T. Nosbitt is a Democrat and was never tinctured with Re¬ publicanism. At the request of the very best Democrats, ho con¬ sented to act as agent for the Freedmen’s Bureau, to save that section from military rules and to have their disputes settled by known and triod Georgians in¬ stead of by foreigners. Those foreigners were frequently scums from the North sent down in part as a punishment to the South. Mr. Stanley relates that one day while conversing with a friendly tribo, during his recent travels, one of the chiefs present inquired how many wives he pos¬ sessed. Upon Mr. Stanley inuo cently replying that he had none at all those present stood up like one man, and. unanimously ex¬ claimed: “What a splendid liar!” They intensely admired the appa¬ rent calmness with which he had, as they thought tried, to pass off ou them a wondrous traveler’s tale. We hope that the Farmers Al¬ liance of Georgia will do what they can to bring about an econ¬ omic administration of the state’s affairs. Especially do we hope that they will see to it that the Agricultural ^Department is eco¬ nomically administered, for out of it comes one of the chief aids to common school education. Economy and free ^education are fundamental Alliance principles, and we are doing what we can to see them realized. We yet, even at this late date, fail to see any good reason why Judge J. T. Henderson, when guano ' inspectors were getting $200,00 per mouth and their ex¬ penses, increased their salaries to $250.00 per month. Was not $200.00 per month, and all ex¬ penses* paid, pretty good wages? Would not $100,00 net do very well? So it seems to us; and we distrust the public servant who presumes to draw r for his employ¬ ees public extravagant prices from the purse even when the law expressly "why is allows them. Then it that farmers persist in voting for a man who pays his oil inspectors more, and one of tUem we hear, as much as $5000. 00 a year. There are many won¬ derful things in this world. Evelyn Morrell’s Visilto Ashville, BY ADNIEL. “I am perfectly delighted at the idea of getting away from this immeasurably dull neighbor¬ hood,” exclaimed Evelyn Morell as she threw herself lanquidly on a sofa in her mother’s pleasant room. “Right here I’ve spent twelve years of my puny existance, without even one adventure or ep¬ isode in life worth recording. Ha! Ha!” she continued growing sarcastic, “think of the intensely interesting set we have here. Half a dozen Misses with their heads full of beaux; and their hair fur-banged till you could scarcely see their eyes, with scarcely men¬ tal calibre enough to answer yes or no to your wittiest speeches, and those college sophs, all agape, and full of Demosthenes and Cic¬ ero, declaiming to every girl they chance to meet in society, ‘O, you girls are so interesting, poetical and exquisite!’ A most edifying speech, I admit, but beyond my capacity to appreciate. I expect when I reach Asheville to have one blessed summer of real, true enjoyment.” Evelyn Morell had been six years old when her father moved with his family from a neighbor¬ ing state to this place, where all her life, excepting one short year in her native city furnished her education, had been spent. The society of the place was limited, as are all country neighborhoods, and she yearned for the great world of society, whose gayeties the newspapers chronicled in ex¬ aggerated phrase. Fearing, however, to delay the projected visit by a lengthly de r tailed family history, we will simply say: the father had been considerably reduced in circum¬ stances by the treachery of a friend, before leaving his native state, but they bore a name of which none ever need be ashamed, and of which Evelyn was proudly conscious. Evelyn had been moTe than a fortnight in the “city of a hundred hills,” was pleasantly domiciled in the home of her sister, an aris¬ tocratic, dignified woman of soci¬ ety, had met a number of the elite of the city, and also many of the fashionables, who were, like her¬ self sojourning for a season of pleasure or health among the “hills of the Alleghanies.” To say that she was delighted, Mould not half express her feelings; she was enraptured, enchanted. The fairy land of her dreams, the great social world had burst upon her like a halo from Eden and she was more than Girls, however great their social success, are not the prime re¬ quisite to the pleasure or happi¬ ness of a young lady, therefore we will simply remark that Ashe¬ ville, abounding in belles as fasci¬ nating as any Peri, failed to par¬ ticularly engross the precious mo¬ ments of our heroine. She had soon after reaching Asheville met a gentleman, a Mr. Loraine, whom it seems was destined to play an important part in the drama of her life. She had gone in company with a nephew, a boy ten years of age to Yellow Sulphur Springs, a dis¬ tance of five miles to spend an hour with some young ladies whom she had met a few evenings previous at the house of a friend, and was returning late in the af¬ ternoon when the pony they were driving took fright, and suddenly dashing to one side of the road, upset the vehicle throwing Evelyn and her nephew both out. They were badly frightened, but with the exception of some slight bruises, escaped uninjured. Mr. Loraine was returning on horse¬ back from a business trip into the country, and was only a short dis¬ tance in the rear when the acci¬ dent occurred. Hurrying to their assistance, he recognized the pony and phaeton, and recollected hav¬ ing heard of Mrs. Reynold's guest, he immediately conjectured who the young lady was. The pony, which had hitherto proven a gentle, trusty fellow, and belonging to Mrs. Reynols, now stood looking penitently at the trio busily engaged in extricating themselves and others from the tangled brush by the roadside. A few moments served to get them in order, when they were in rapid transit to the city, chatting as merrily as if they had known each other for years, for, of course, Mr. Loraine felt it would be an act of criminality to leave them to the mercy of that pony after such am act of cruelty. Arriving at home they found Mrs. Reynold’s anxiouslyjawaiting their return. Relating the cir¬ cumstances of the accident, she thanked him most cordially for his kindness to her sister and lit¬ tle boy. Declining her invitation to tea, he promised to call at an early day, and which promise he more than fulfilled for scarcely a day passed that did not find him a visitor at the beautiful home of Mr. Reynolds. Suffice it to say, they were mutually pleased. Her unaffected and earnest manner, her conversation, with its sudden inspiration of wit and humorous fancies; the abandon of her en¬ thusiasm, and the spirited and peculiar type of her beauty, at once won his admiration. While to her Charley Loraine stood the embodiment of all that was noble and manly. His face wore an ex¬ pression of thoughtfulness, amia¬ bility, and manly frankness; not compelling deference, but im¬ pressing only with the goodness of a great heart, and the honor of an upright mind. Thus, these two beings, seemingly destined for each other met; and who will not say that a higher agency than man’s was not employed in order¬ ing this the most momentous event of their lives? Those of my readers who have been in Asheville know what de¬ lightfully favorable opportunities are presented to the lover to con¬ fer little happinesses and pleas¬ ures on the beloved. There are drives to Richmond Hill, Con nally’s View, Hazzard’s Heights, and O, how delicious along the banks of the beautiful Swannano to get glimpses of lofty mountains in tbo distance—some almost lost in golden haze, while others stand majestic, like emperors, shrouded in their purple robes! Then there are excursions to Round Knob, Mt. Mitchell, Hot Springs, and a thousand others, with here and there bits of scenery which would delight a Birket Foster. Nor was our hero oblivious to these advantages. Almost daily he planned some new interest for her who had become all the world to him. And she was happy in the love she inspired. But these pleasures could not last forever. The beautiful summer had passed and still Evelyn Morell lingered. Her mother had written to her several times about returning. Finally she decided to leave on the first of October. To be brief, Evelyn Morell re¬ turned to her home, the betrothed of Charley Loraine, a man worthy of her love, and one she might truly, fearlessly and under any circumstances confide her happi¬ ness to. Let us again after a lapse of some months look into the quiet country home of Evelvn Morell. Noiselessly now glides along the quiet autumn days, unbroken in their usual course by songs of revelry, or mirth, or dancing, or lovers cavalcades, or any of the pomp and circumstance which marked her life but a short while previous. But she was happy. Her lovers image was before her, whispering happy thoughts and glowing ideals to her beating heart. “My dear,” said her mother as they sat together one afternoon, “what has changed you so very materially? Your former fascina¬ tions for society seem to have cleverly evaporated. I hear no murmuring about existance in a ‘tea cup’ etc. since your return.” “Oh ! mamma I fear I appeared awfully foolish, and grieved you all by my. ceaseless repinings against fate. I was happy amid the fascinations of that gay little city. The voice of pleasure came softly, soothingly, endearingly, caressingly upon my ear, and I lived a new life in the whirl of its excitement, and I fear but for the sweet assurance of Mr. Loraine love I would be the discontented, unhappy girl of former days.” “I am glad,” replied her mother, “that reciprocated affection has worked so charmingly in your case; but we should remember, dear, not to condemn others be¬ cause God made them different from ourselves. We should bear each others burdens. By ming¬ ling with those similarly circum¬ stanced, by sympathy and love bestowed we may make their lives less monotonous and more desira¬ ble.” Now those of my young readers who may like our heroine, find life dull and uninteresting because of a residence in some isolated community, remember that for¬ getting self and administering to others who need sympathy will inevitably bring a blessing to our own hearts. Love, in her case was a powerful agency in over¬ coming the evil spirit of discon¬ tent; and in the event no other remedy will avail ‘go thou and do likewise.’ THE PULPIT AND THE STAGE. Rev. F. M. Shrout, Pastor Uni¬ ted Brethren Church, Blue Mound, Kan., says: “I feel it my duty to tell what wonders Dr King’s New Discovery has done for me. My Lungs were badly diseased, and my parishioners thought I could live only a few weeks. I took five bottles of Dr. King’s New Discov¬ ery and am sound and well, gain¬ ing 26 lbs. in weight.” Arthur Love, Manager Love,s Funny Folks Combination, writes: “After a thorough trial and con¬ vincing evidence, I am confident that Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, when beats j’em all, and Cures The everthing kindness else I fails. greatest can do my many them thousands‘.friends is to urge to try it.

Six months ago, at the reguest of a friend who was interested in the sale of King’s Roy¬ al Germetuer, I made a written statement of the benefits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within the last two months I have received letters from every quarter of the na¬ tion calling on health. me for further information iu regard to my It has been impossible for has me made to this write privately to each person who request, and I am therefore under the necessity of making another pub¬ lic statement, lam free from Catarrh. I beiieve that I could get a certificate to thig effect from any competent physician. 1 have used no medi¬ cine within the last six months except King’s Royal Germetuer. thirty My health is better than ithas been In years. I am in possession of information which warrants me in saying that the relief which I have experienced from the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which ithas brought to hundreds of persons in Georgia and other States. I feel" it to be my duty to say, also, that the effects of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal alife-long and wonderful, She has been almost invalid from Ner¬ vous -Headache, Neuralgia and Rheumatism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day’s exemption from pain. She has been using Germetuer about two months. A more witnessed. complete Every transformation I have never symptom of disease has disappeared. She appears to be twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child. We have persuaded many of our friends to take the medicine, and the tes¬ timony of all of them is that it is a great rem¬ edy. ,T. B. Hawthorne, Pastor First Baptist Church.
