"HUNKIDORI"-This word is in the mouths
Of all the ladies, who seem to regard it as the
only word that can adequately express their ad-
miration Of John Stoups new goods. Whatever
may be tho doubts about its meaning in ordi-
nary use, there can be no mistskiag its meaning
as used BY the ladies if you will take the trouble
to look at tho goods "Verily the ladies are right
about it," you will be prepared to exclaim-the
goods are moro than beautiful-they are splen-
did, magnificent, in short "hunkidori."-

IT PAYs.-It is well established fact that en-.

that successful and permanent trade can not be
built mp withos. these requisites. For example,
some Of our merchants were content TO wait upon
the transsnt customers who naturally choose
"fair work to mako purchases, but our wide
awake and fsr-seeing friends, Msssers. B. B.
Griffith & Son, although really having more to
do at their store than they could attend to, had
fitted up in advance for the fair, case Of the
finest boots, shoes and slippers We ever saw, and
dsssrvsdly carried off the fret premium.
Now. people Who thsrs saw these goods are
thronging their store, and more than fifty new
customers hare been added to their list, thus
fully proving the truth Of our statement at the
head Of this article.

NV CASTLES IN SPAIN.

Sometimes in pleasure, sometimes in pain,
wander on to my castles in Spain,
And view the possessions dearly prize,
The lofty coluns that around me rise.
These polished pillars and domes 80 fair 4ao0
Were reared by me with jealous care;
And the dearest treasures of life bring
To the Castles where i reign As king.
IT'S pleasant thing for one like me,
From worldly restraint to feel Pm free, 60"
To gaze on relics of "by gone" years,
10 mourn the lost, and not blush for tears. En-
Tears that forever must freeze in my heart,
Till Spain's balmy breath shall bid them start,
Then soft and gently as warm summer rain,
They refresh my sonl and hot, weary brain.
What though some old friends pass haughtily by,
Mere deigning one glance from their once kindly
eye,
And from recognition forever refrain?
We meet as Of yore in my "Castles in SPAIN"
wandering minstrel here found,
With harp of rich and dulcet sound,
He murmured the airs of Sther times
AS mystic as half forgotten rhymes.
Slowly and softly, he swept the strings,
l thought OF vows brOken-a tiny ring
And "hand clasps" and kisses, OF long, long ago,
That told OF time when he loved me 80. In
Here's curious chain Of virgin gold,
Which was wrought in Geneva I've been told;
But twas worn by one that dare not name.
Except when visit my Castles in Spain"
Dear rustic table and rustic chair,
Meath yon pavilion with pennant fair,
darling of mine there once with me sat,
And he seemed half divine, in "Broadway hat"
| Cold is the hand that then pressed mine,
Peaceful he sleeps IN q distant cline.
| Bitter the thoughts that come Ger my brain,
But kneel by his ashes--I mourn him in "Spaln -
Mother his neither, feel you are near,
Fond as he loved you, to me you are dear.
Let's heed not, dear mother, tho thousands de.
| fame,
For he sits on throne in my "Castle in SPAIN"
Time, Care, and Sorrow have left their trace
In many line of my once fair face;
But sweet dreams Of my youth, recall again.
To walk by my side in my Castles in Spain"

JOHNSON, april !, lSit.
MEssRs- Errors FREE PEEss
A. T. Rankin, Secretary Of the Board Of
Education, recently addressed the Students Of
the State Normal School at johnson. and the
friends Of education in that vicinity, upon Wo-
man. and her sources OF power as an educator ''
The lecture was able and instructive. and
was listened to attentively throughout by a large
and appreciative audience. At its close vote
Of thanks, and Of sympathy IN his work, was
rendered the Secretary.
The impression is deepening in this part Of
the State that the Secretary not only under
stands his duties, but is discharying them with
fidelity and ability, and that the State is fortu-
nate IN securing his services in that important
position.
The school is in fiourishing condition. num-
boring about enc hundred pupils, and it is graf
flying TO friends ofthe Normal School system that
the Teachers and Students who are new resorting
TO these schools feel that they are gaining quail
heations for their work never before realized.
Now if our Legislators would lust s,sD into
one Of these schools and see their practical
working, all doubts. if any ever existed. Of their
need and usefulness, would vanish.
