He who labors for a political
leader without care for himself,
has already began his immortality.
“Take things cool” was the cry,
and is perhaps as good a motto, as
could have been adopted, but a
very hard one to illustrate at this
season of the year.
The bes; of harmony prevailed,
and the quietude of the day was
marred only by an occasional
whoop from Esquire Cantrell for
“mountain colt.”
1 * .
The “mountain colt” has mado
a vigorous and successful kick
against being turned out of the
pasture, and the people of Dade
think there is no immediate dan
ger of him foundering.
The truths that we least wish to
heat are those which it is most to
oar advantage to know, and we
wish to say to those who think
money will dp anything may be
suspected of doing anything for
money. A v/eak mind is like a
Microscope, which magnifies tri
fling, things, but cannot receive
great ones, ‘ and there certainly is
rio greater piece of. weak-minded
ness than charging the Cole City
and Rising Fawn people with be
ing forced and bought.

One would hardly believe that
there are many people who forget
that they have money, or that there
is money or interest due them, and
yet it is a fact. There lies in the
Treasury Department to daj’ sl,-
fOO.OOO of unclaimed interest on
government bonds. The sum is
getting larger every day. This
seems strange, but it is true. This
vast sum of money, or much of it,
can be drawn by simply applying
for it bv whoever is entitled to it,
and has the registered bond, on
which the interest is due and not
paid. There are thousands of per
sons who have bought bonds, and
not knowing how to get the interest
on them, prefer to lose the same
■ rather than expose the fact they
have the bonds. Others have in
terest due them, and actually for
get the fact, and it lies in the
treasury vaults waiting for them to
apply for it. Should a clerk of the
bond division inform a person to
whom interest is due, of the fact,
and the same be discovered, he
would be instantly be discharged.
Our government is like that of
other countries dishonest in mat
ters of this kind, and is always
willing to keep that which belongs
to others if it is not called for.
Should one of its clerks be honest
enough to give out a hint, he is dis
charged on the ground that it is
not probable thal he would lie en
gaged in volunteering information
unless he received a certain per
centage for liis sen ice, and has no
right, to, do it. The government
takes the ground that the person
to whom the interest i.- duo should
not he required to pay for the in
formation, at the sane time the
same government - will not volun
teer the information.
There is one tiling we.believe a
great many people about Trenton
should cease to make use of, and
that is charging the people of Cole*
City and Rising Fawn with being
forced f>,nd cornpollod, by virtue of
tlieir employment, to vote as Joe
Brown dictates. This is a gross in
sult to men of intelligence, and in
stead of being inculcated into the
minds of the people by the party
leaders, should be cried down as
too great a stigma and disgrace to
the county of Dade. All the men
that came from Rising Fawn
Cole City, are men of considerable
intelligence, and who are respet 'd
as such. Such as “being forced
to vote for Shumate and controlled
by Joe Brown,” are charges against
their honor and integrity. These
same men that the Clements men
treated with such scathing and
scornful reqoarks a year ago, voted
for Judson C. Clements, and now,
that they come forward with a new
preference, is it right and just that
they should be charged with being
bought and sold, as sheep by the
Clements men. This is an insult
to ordinary intelligence, and wo
say our people should d<-hist in such
remarks.
We are are not only pleased but
turned by a leather. The history
of a man is a calender of straws.

on the water melon crop $50,000.

The political embers are burning
low, and apparently everything is
smooth and calm., but, underneath,
there is a raging lire burning to a
white heat, and ere many days
have passed, a combustion will
fake place, south ring brands right

FROM GRAPEVINE.
Editor News: —
Allow me space in your valuable
paper to give you a few lines from
Texas.
This has been a seasonblo year
in this part of the country. Corn
crops are reasonably good. Wheat
sorry. Oats moderately good. Too
much rain in the spring for cot
ton, and to dry now—no rain for
four or five weeks.
I will give you a little idea of the
locality of this country. In the
vicinity of Newport, Clay county.,
sets in the ten-mile prairie; as
nice a country as any one would
wish to see. The soil is sandy
loam, and rich enough. South
east of this prarie sets in what they
call here the mountain —a range of
table lands I think to be 150 feet
high, and fully as productive as
the prairie. Water on the prairie
has plenty of salt in it, and ;of
course not very good, but the water
on the mountain is a little like the
water in your country, but very
warm. The timber in this country
looks like an old apple orcherd in
your country. These people say
they can get two rail cuts eight
feet long off of one tree, Mr. Ed.
what would think of fence rails
two feet long? They range from
two to ten feet long.
Some of the praire land has a
solid fondation—it is solid rock.
Wild sun flowers grow here in some
pla.ee; from 15 to 18 feet high - and
eockleburs as thick as wheat.
There is the greatest variety of
oil h* r A any place on the globe.
There is all kinds of water
except good. There is what they
call “gip” water, out we have not
drank any yet.
Mr. Editor you ought to be here
to go hunting with us; and kill
some of these muje-care.! rabbits.
Your correspondent w-nt ■ 10 ,■ few
mornings ago and '.hi • ■ . of
these large rabbits, and felt as
proud over my Btteoek** la. you would
if you had killed a buck.
It is very hot from 10 a. m. to 8
3p. m. Ido not know how much
The thermometer would register
milt there is heat enough here to
cause pop corn to cap in the sun on
the ear. Some of the citizens say
‘j*-hat is often - the case. The
wind is Wowing that J
have to hold my paper in a vice
grip to keep it from blowing away
from me. This accounts for the
country being indurable. Success
fo the News. N. K.
Peaches from the country sell in
Brunswick at fifty cents per peck.
At the fruit stands nice ones bring
as high as fifteen to twenty cents
per dozen. The low country peach
crop has not been as bad a failure
as some pointa higher up the coun
try.
