chiefly on two words, industry and

frugality nothing will do, and with

Mr. Hammond will have the naming

Only two applications are filed, one
republican, T. W. Thurmond, the

The democratic applicant is M. O.

Hammond by marriage. It is stated,
on good authority, that the republi¬

Brother Talmagc lectured in New
York the other night on the “Absur
dities of Evolution.” In conclud¬
ing he said “the human race started
with men ten feet high and capable
of living- over 800 years. Now we
pee young men evolved from Europe¬
an travel with spiked shoes, noovrr
coat, a swinging stoop gait, a sin
gle eyeglass and countenances weak¬
ly imitating English imbecility. Isn’t
this evolution backward?” There
were several dudes in the audience,
upon whom many eyes were turned
by the desorption. It seems that
Mr. Talmage’s doctrine is that the
monkey evolved from man, and not
man from monkey.
Two doctors were disputing by

the other. “Very well, we shall see
who is right at the post mortem ex¬

and dressed himself. He began to
improve from that time and hasn't

A man calling himself Fitzgerald,

I HOW TO GET ALCisG.
i Don’t stop to tell stories in busi¬
.
ness hours.
If you have a place of business, be
found there when wanted.
Ko man can get rich when sitting
around stores and saloons.
Never “fool” in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity,and
also promptness.
Do not meddle with business j r ou
know nothing of.
Do not kick every one in your
path.
More miles can be made in a day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never , give what you cannot afford
to, simply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say no. No necessity of
snapping it out dog-fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully.
Use \ our brains, rather than those
of others.
Learn to think and act for your
self.
Keep ahead rather than behind
tbe times.

Representative George D. Wise, of
Virginia, and Representive Boutelkq
ol Maine, had a rather spicy debate
in tire House Friday relative to al
leged removal of Federal inscriptions
at the Norfolk navy yard. It is not
probable that Mr. Boutelle will care
to stir up the Virginia Congressman
again soon.
P. F. Lawshe, whose paper—the
Southron—was burned out in the re
cent Gainesville fire, has found out
that all the names on the book are
not good for the money. He urges
them to come up and pay what they
owe, at the same time asking other
papers to “please copy in behalf of a
brother journalist in a tight place.”
W. H. Stephenson has purchased

It- is said that in Taylor county
there i3 a justice of the Peace who
acts as judge, jury and administra
tor. Not long ago he tried a case of
divorce between two colored people.
He put the ease to trial as a judge
and decided that both parties were
entitled to a divorce as a jury, and
proceeded to administer on the ef¬
fects of the parties, giving the wo
man her share and the man Iris. It
is presumed also that his little fee
came along towards the last.
A very loquacious lady, calling
one day to see her physician, talked
on and on with such volubility that
tbe lather could not get in a word
edgeways. Growing impatient he at
length told her to put out her tongue
which she did. lie then said: “Now
please keep it there until you have
heard what I have got to say to
you.”

A negro lias been elected Mayor of

This was done in a joking spirit,
because the charter of that town
had been changed against the protest
of its citizens. We fear the joke has
been carried too far and the people
of LaFayette will realize it too soon.
In the past year the richest Amer¬
ican merchant, II. B. Cliaflin, the
riches American railroad man, W. II.
Vanderbilt, and the richest Amcri
.can planter, Edmond Richardson,
died. It is notable that not one of
the three died in his bed. One
dropped dead at bi3 desk; another
in his hall, and the other in the
street. This forces the suggestion,
says the Constitution, that iho over¬
work of accumulating and maintain vital
ing a vast fortune, snapped the
chord for each of the millionaires.
Gladstone, serene and steadfast at
80, and Vanderbilt tumbling dead
from his chair, contrasts tbe sensi¬
ble English life with the wasteful
haste of Americans.
If, by some sudden convulsion of

The. following from some paper
so well expresses our ideas that wo
think the space it. occupies will be
well used. In it may be seen some
thing of that intangible thing called
good will, which so many have often
tried to define;
“The strong attachment of sub¬
scribers to a well-conducted news¬
paper is fully confirmed by all pub
lishers. ‘Stop my paper,’ words of
dread to beginners in business, lose
their terror after a paper has been
established a few years. So long as
a paper pursues a just, honorable
and judicious course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all respects
the ties of friendship between the
subscribers aud the papers are as
hard to break by an ouside third par¬
ty as tbe link which binds old
friends in business of social life.
Occasional defects and errors in a
newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it
through its perusal for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with
on account of something which Isas
slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it; but the absence of
the familiar sheet at their homes and
offices for a few weeks becomes an
insui portable privation, and they
take it again, and possibly apol
ogize for having stopped it. No
friendship on earth is more constant
than that contracted by the reader
for a journal which makes an earn
est effort to merit its continued sup¬
port. Hence, a conscientiously con
ducted paper becomes a favorite in
the family.”
