Last Monday two hundred and
fifty white longshoremen iu New

BJacksheur has no cuuse to com
plain at the recognition she is receiv
ing, at the tiamls ol tho administra -
tion, at Washington. Already she
has been called upon to supply |M>st -
masters to several ol her less fortun

Charles II. J. Taylor, ex minister

the lxtst Cause and ol the Confeder

is two dollars a year. The first

instructive reading matter.
Among other things it will publish
a true In-lory of the war between

criticism and c. rnvtion. ”
1 he Confederate Veteran should
be iu the home ol even true South

lair iu Pierce county f The
, ,' W ™' u ........ " u ** lr -in* "' iteen'e > i-ti*n*st
e«l tn 1 lie foregoing question, ami . ., i
is for them to say what the answer
shall be.
It. is conceded by all that an atiuu
ul fair would result fn mutcriai bene*
fit to every citizen of the county.
With that conviction firmly fixed in
tlie niiflds ot the people, all that
uceded to in-iire the success ol the
enterprise i- a little concert of tiction.
Let the people cotoe together in mass
meeting, decide upon a plan, appoint
committees to canvass the county in
tho intcresi, ol the enterprise, and
our question is answered.
The site is assured. All that needs
to be done, is to inelo-e ttie grounds
and erect suitable buildings. To in
close the grounds and elect the build
ings would require an expenditure
ol, perhaps, $2,600, coitumly n
more. Now divide this amount into
snares, of say, $10,00 caeii, and it
would only require 260 persons to
take a share each to raise the
amount needed. Rightly managed,
the lair would prove a source
profit to the share holders. In
any event it would hoof incalculable
benefit „ to the il ... it
county, even
should not prove a very profitable
money investment to the share hold
crs. But there is no good reason
why it should not yield handsome
returns to the investors.
Pierce county must keep pace w'th
the times!
Will we have the lair! Let the
people answer.

strong dislike though there muy .
no ultructiou. Yet, curiously enough
there maybe love without esteem
... Women have .* . . known to . love , the ,,
wen
most worthless characters, for whom
they could not possibly have any
esteem. It is an enigma after all.
Tho loss ol tiiilli in otic might seem
to shatter nflection in one, but it
doesn’t. Affection survives confi
deuce. People are drawn together
whose tastes and pursuits widely
differ, by some one strong trait which
they hold in common, and persons of
wonderlul identity ol taste and psy
chological resembluuees never
trivo heartily to like each other by u
collisiou revolving around some
of radical moral difference which
makes all the joint and kindred 15°
for nothing. And so the queerest
marriages and tho queerest friend
ships are contracted on the one huml,
and the, apparently, strongest an
tagonisins kindled on the other hand.
Nj Balzac has ever sounded this
depth. There are instinctive forces
which allure ami rc|>cl, despite
reason, philosophy, and circumstance.

there are a lew magnetic |>eople

Wednesday evening, that a riot that was
then in progress in Jesup, and

POINTS OF SUPERIORITY OF
The Damascus Plow-
1st — The mould-board is cast on polished
iron plates, ischiiled and is harder than
the highest tempered steel. It will, in
sandy soil, last ten times as long as
a cast-iron mould-board, and will will scour
in sticky soil where* cast one not
2nd.—Most one-horse plows are top heavy;
the Damascus has most, of its weight and
b* low the top of the mould-board,
whether at work or standing still it
will stand up of its own accord. It
runs for this reason Viry steady and
easy for the plowman.
3rd.—The shape of the standard makes it
less liable to cleg than other plows.
4th.—The draft is known as a “centre
draft” and on the “Damascus” is as
much so as is that of a pole of a two
horse wagon.
hlh .—There is no head of the beam bolt or
obstruction of anv sort lor trash to
hang to.
6th.—There is room for tra-h to run off
to the left as well as to the right of the
stand aril.
7th.—The beam is adjustable on the shifter
between the handles, so as to turn it
to or from the land, so the exact centre
of draft may he found.
8th.—'1 lie handles are so placed that the
plowman walks in thefiirruw direetly
behind the plow,
9th.—From the thickness and compact
arrangement of the casting? it is the
strongest one-horse plow in the mark
ct
10th.—The handles arc fastened directly
to the standard, wliich lakes all strain
oli tlie mould-board and landside, and
firings tlie plow under perfect control
of the plowman.
11th,—The wearing parts of the landside
and share are thoroughly chilled, and
ail of the material and workmanship
ure of the be-t.
1 “ti>.— 11 is the only genuine chilUd plow
ever put upon the market at about lhe
price of common cast-iron plows.
