DIRT! DIRT!

YOUR Watch needs cleaning and oiling once every eighteen months, if you would preserve its time
keeping qualities. Consider: In that time the balance-wheel turns on its delicate axis 13,996,880,000 times;
it does not “rest” at night like ordinary machines, but keeps at its work incessantly. You oil an engine, or a
sewing machine, or any other mechanical contrivance, daily or weekly; but that delicate instrument of pre.
cision—your Watch—is allowed to go uncared for, until it is clogged with dirt and stops. The best of oil
becomes thick and dirty in time ; in this condition it wears the pivots, and destroys that exactness of their
fit in the jewel holes, which is necessary to a correct performance. . . Let us look at your watch.
will give you a conscientious opinion as to whether it needs attention or not.

MV LADY.
In my poor cot there dwelleth not
A lady lulled in Inces
Anil satins tine; none svcli is mine—
But very sweet her face is :
For God. when first her heart did beat,
Smiled on her face and made it sweet.
She robeth not her dear self in
Rare gowns of qimenly splendor;
She hath won all th.it she would win—
A heart's love loyal, tender;
She is not rich : and yet I know
One kiss of love can make her so!
No jewels glitter on her hands.
Norie’er to love betrayed her;
Os all tbe ladies of the land.
She’s just as Gad hath in i 1j h >r ;
For when He made the morning He
Made one rose for Himself and tne!
And close b side my hqairt 1 wear
That (lower that fadeth never;
And if I pray, ‘tis but this prayer:
To keep that rose forever.
But lo! my lady comes, and she
Brings roses of her love to me!

—The rare curiosity of an editor who
prays has been found; i. e., an editor has
been found who prayed once in his life,
at least. Henry Craig, editor of the Jack
sonville Herald, tolls this boyhood ex
perience of his: "Father told me to go
down on the ereek and cut down some
small trees. While cuttinL’away the axe
flew out of my hand and into the creek.
I knew if I didn’t find that ax there
would be a private concert when the old
man found it out. I rolled up mv
breeches and as I waded into the water I
prayed that I might find the ax, and I
did, for I had not taken a half dozen
steps before my right foot came down on
the blade and come near cutting it in
two. It had fallen between two rocks,
edge up and when I stepped on it,l bade
farewell to prayers.”
—Thievery is thievery, and should be
treated as such. The pension expendi
tures last year were SI 58,000,000. and the
estimate for the present year is $165,000,-
000 The first duty of the democratic
congress will be to stop this thievery.
The people are tired of being taxed to
death to pension trifling army buwis and
camp followers. A strict investigation
should be made and every man who is
fraudulently or undeservingly drawing a
pension should be put into the peniteni
tiary, and the amount he has stolen from
the government should be recovered
from his estate.
—The following is from the Atlanta
Constitution:
In a group of gentlemen, at the Mark
ham, the question arose "What consti
tutes a democrat ?”
One of the ablest of the public men of
Georgia promptly responded:
“To love God, take care of your family
and vote for the nominee 1”
And he might have added: |“To be a
true democrat is to be the noblest type of
statesman and citizen.”
—Editor Rainey, of the Dawson News
is having the usual editorial experience.
He says: Editors and preachers are alike
in that they look after the public welfare,
and are in turn pounded by the public
for so doing. A great difference exists,
however, in the character of the pound
ing. The preacher is built up and
strengthened, while the editor is knocked
down and shattered. Be a preacher,
young man.”
—Brother Wallace Reed, of the Atlan
ta Constitution, is tickled because “the
Columbia souvenir stamps represent
that when Columbus discovered land he
was smooth-faced, but when he landed,,
twelve hours later, he wore a full beard,”
Brother Reed does not seem to believe
that they had the patent mustache
growing nostrum in those days.
—A midele Georgia editor thus com*
mentis upon the late legislature: “There
were five members of the late legislature
who parted their hair in the middle, and
none of them were worth a d n. How
would John I. Hall, Bill Fleming or Ed.
Martin look with their hair parted like a
gal?” Forcible, if not elegant.
—The Tennessee solons are attacking
the exorbitant and oppressive “fee sys
tem” in vogue in that state. And the
Tennessee solons are right. The fee sys
tem in Tennessee would hate been abol
ished or modified long ago, had the press
of the state as a rule had the backbone
to risk losing a little official patronage by
approving it.
—This is the way Stanton puts it:
THE USUAL RESULT.
“Who’s that cripple across the street,
with his head and arm in a sling?”
“That’s the man who is supposed to
have whipped the editor.”
A picture true to lite.
—The editorial paragraphist of the At
lanta Journal is quite a punster. He
never lets a word escape him.
A Little Girl’s Experience in a
Light House.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a
daughter, lour years old. Last April
she was taken down with Measles, iol
towed with a dreadful Uotig.i and turn
ing into a lever. Doctors at home and
at Detroit treat her, but in vain, she
grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere
“handful of bones”. Then she tried
Dr. King’s New Discovery and after the
use of two and a half bottles, was com
pletely cured. They say Dr. King’s
New jiiscuvery is worth its weight in
gold, yet you may get a .Trial Bottle Free
