OUR PATRoNAGE.-Wc feel truly CRATE
full for the increased subscription list of
the Home journal. Since we assumed con
troll the last of last June, we believe the
list has increased three hundred, or there
abouts. But our subscribers are not 50
prompt in paying up as we desire. In
fact, nearly all the work we do is on a
credit, and We have paid out several hum
bred dollars more than we have taken in,
booking, in the meantime. some seven or
eight hundred dollars. Now, these GOOD
men for debts are the ones who break the
creditor, and the creditor is a fool if he
keeps on crediting in face of this fact.
We don't want 10 play the fool to too great
an extent. and therefore request a suspen-
sion of this demand for Il few days credit,
which means a .tev gears, and, sometimes,
%torerer. Any Woodworking, industrious
and temperate man can have our paper on
time, but cash must come for all Job
Work. II is a pleasure for us to be busy,
but idlcness would pay us better unless
there can be a change.

4 CIsTERN on THE SQUARE.-We hear 1t
discussed that Winchester ought to have a
large cistern or two in the Courthouse
ward, to be used in ease Of fire. The idea
is n good one, and when we reflect that
most of the houses upon the Square are
frame. the necessity of having water con
vcnieit and in abundance becomes patent
to all. But we suppose the cisterns will
be made after the town is burnt. The
wise man never puts off until Tomorrow
that which should be done to-day. The
fool locks the stable after the horse is
stolen.
d" To-morrow, and tomorrow, and to-mor-
row,
Crecps in this petty space from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty DEATH"
But, if cisterns, ladders, AMI modes,
means, &C., for ~cxtinguishing fires cannot
be had, n good insurance policy in a good
company can be had BY applying to j. Z.

CONSTANT EMPLoYMENT.-To be con-
stantIy busy is to be always happy. Per-
sons who have suddenly acquired wealth,
broken up their active pursuits, and begun
to live at their ease, waste away and die
in n very short time. ic who are signing
for the pomp and splendor oflife. beware
Yc know not what ye wish. No situation,
however exalted; 10 wealth, however
magnificent; no honOrs, however glorious,
can yield you solid enjoyment while dis
content turks in your bosom. The secret
of happiness lies in this-tO be always con-
tented with your lot. Persons who are
always busy and go ch~eerfully to their
daily tasks, are the last disturbed by the
fluctuations of business, aud at night sleep
with perfect composure.

Town CLoCK.-Wc hope the subject OF Il
town clock will not be permitted to die
0ut for want of encouragement. The cost
OF 4 clock will not be felt, and the advan-
tageS arc too numerous for Us to mention.
Lei the County Court give one-third the
COS, the corporation of Winchester one
third. and we will warrant the other third
car he raised by private subscription. We
cannot see why there could be any objec-
ton to this plan. The men WHO will give
most literally in the way of private dona-
tion, are the ones who will have to pay
corporation and county taxes. The cor
porate authorities need not fear indigna-
tion on the part of taxpayers, Tor only
those who own property will suffer, while
the benefit will be universal. And the
County Court must know that this Dis
trct pays Il major portion of the taxes ior
al purposes. so we cannO see any reason
why the manner of raising the sum should
meet with any objection. Let Us have Il
Tow Clock. Let us show some little
PRIDE for ourselves, by all means.

DECLINED We decline to publish a re-
dundant communication, signed Justice
because the author forgets that our space
Is too limited to allow the exercise of n
pen chant for scribbling. All communica-
lions for the Home journal must be to the
point, and Of general Interest, else we pre-
fer to publish our own efforts. since We do
not write for fame, and have long since
abandoned thg idea that we were any
smarter than most of the people we come
in contact with daily. AS to the writer's
opinion Of our ~"IonCst hut mistaken phil
anthropy in behalf Of Chicago" we have
only to say that we could make him feel
very smaN' if we chose to c~riticise his
views. In defence of oursClf we might
suggest to him that he who thinks better
ofhis ncighbors than they deserve, can
no5 be Il bad man, for the standard by
which his Judgment is formed Is the good,
ness ofhis oWn heart. 1t is the base only
who believe all men base, or, in other
words, like themselves. 1t has been said
that even Nero did II good turn to some
body, for, when Rome was rejoicing over
his death, Il loving hand covered his grave
with flowers. To be n good SOutherncr
does not imply that Il man must forget the
noblcr impulses o nnturc and damn every
thing outside Of the narrow circle ne calls
his home. And a brave man will not cXult
and claim credit to himself for general
~proyidcnccS of II terrible character which
rnay happen to Cypress his enemies. We
would have no pity for the rascals who re-
ioiccd over the inhumau burning of At
lanta, or the destruction and sorrow caused
in the South by the march of ShermanS
army to the sea. We would have no pity
for the eXtortionists who attcmpttdto car
~ up the price of lumber after Chicago
was burnt. But if there were even one or
two, much less ten righteous men in the
doomed city, we have too exalted an opin-
ion Of Gods mercy and omnipotence to
believe lie would have allowed their des-
truction in order to punish all the balance.
God surely woulG have sent some angels
to carry the righteous out. just as Lot and
his family were carried from the doomed
Sodom. And whenever you hear Il man
talking about God having visited Chicago
in this respect, just set him down asa fool.
If he be Il protested follower of the humble
Nazarcne, just put him down rs Il bigot
and fool both. Alas. fools and bigots have
caused all our troubles, in Church, State
and Society. Selah!

That her dying hour was Gomez;
But the angels knew, forced had spoken
And gently the silver cord was rokeh
And softly they bore her home

Many Of our citizens will be there ON

suggestion and govern themselves accord
ingly. Many of the farmers of the differ
cnt counties of TcnneSSce rs well as other
States, have organized Farmers Clubs with
good results. These organizations have
been the means Of disseminating much
valuable information. Let us organize "A
Farmers Club" in Franklin county, let us
do all within our power to enhance the
material interest of our county, which is
in the rear of many Of her sister counties
in those marked enterprises that distin-
guish q thrifty, entcrprising and encrgct-
ic people from those that talk long and
loud, but slO,C about hdrd times.

A SHOCKING AccIDENT-A Boy

Loaded -Four r-Horse Wogon.-Last Mon
day afternoon the snow melted rapidly
under the pleasant sun. Water flowed
in considerable volume through the gut
tiers or drains along the streets. Near
Patterson School House number OF
boys of that town were engaged In the
sport of damming gutter to fullness and
then tearing away the obstruction to see
the rush of water A dam was compile
ted and broken down just as a four-horse
wagon loaded with cord Of wood came
along A boy between the age OF 7and 8
wears, a son of W. C. Laird, of Patter-
son, was there, enjoying the sport and, to
escape the rush of water from the broken
dam, sprang aside, tripped and fell under
the passing wagon. one wheel of which
passed over his abdomen. injuring him SO
fatally that he died within 20 minutes
The people were greatly shocked by this
fearful accident, and Mr.. and Mrs. Laird
have the sympathy ofthe whole communi-
