To Our Veung Men.

We don't know of any better way to
round up the weeks work than to preach
a short sermon to the young men of the
period residing in Franklin and its %vicini-
ty.
In the first place, We ask them to look
around and see and number the solid men
of society h~ereabouts, and tell us if they
wish to occupy their places when. with
them, 4" life's ftful fever X DER" Ii you
do, you M ist remember that you must
tread the path by which they have scaled
The nights and attained social cminence.
At your age most of these men had not
one 1.-THE of your advantages. BY far the
greatest majority of them were thrown
upon their own resources, and right man
fully have they achieved success 1t Is
true there are no millionaires in the num-
Der living here now, but among them all
YOU will find Il competence, and, above all,
characters which are the ornaments and
pillars of the social fabric. There are no
brilliant names among them, but of one
thing be assured-that they are more
than average American citizens, the like
of whom are the prop and main stay of
every community both great and small In
this entire Republic. Nearly every one
of them learned trades and followed them.
Now, don't forget it. Go thou and do
likewise and be useful. and quit %strutting
about IN idleuess and dissipation.-Frdnk-
lin Recieau and Journal.
Amen.

Delicate Creatures.

This is the phrase applied by His Black
ness. the Moor of Venice, to the tar Ia
dies of Italy. 1t was the lovely complex
ion of Desdemona, such a radiant contrast
10 his own, that won his heart; and sooth
to saw. every man of discernment censid-
ers a fair skin. like a sweet voice, IAN ex-
cellent thing in woman" Now this Is a
charm which can be acquired. There is
n bealthfut and odoriferous toilet article,
known everywhere as Hagan's Magnolia
Balm. which literally transfigures a cloudy
or sallow skin, ~suffusing the discolored
face. neck, arms and bosom with a soft,
nearly tinge, and impartiug to the surface
q smoothncss and a gloss like that of pol
,sbcd marble. Instead of clogging the
nores. like the sticky enamels. Or contract
ing them, and thus obstructing persplra-
tion. like the a%stringent cosmetics, 1t
cloanses the skin from all Impurities and
wonderfully improves its texture: Tbs
regularity is particularly appreciated by
nnur rural bellies, who find that the coarse
ness and r~oughness. which country air is
ant TO engender, are speedily removed
En- their faces. hands and arms, by this
| DELIGHTFUL preparation.

The Wharton Trial.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-Thomas resurn-
ed argument in the Wharton trial this
morning. He said there was no evidence
to show that the prisoner owed Ketchum
$4,000. and that there was no improbable
ity that Mrs. Wharton had entrusted
$4,000 in bonds to Ketchum without his
receipt, as their previous relations justife"
such confidence on her part. He said it
was not necessary that the defense should
show the disease of which Kctchum died,
but only to rebut the evidence of the
prosecution that Ketchum died by poison
from tartar emctic, and this, he argued,
they had done. Thomas concluded his
argument at l so P. NJ.
Mr.. Steele followed in a closing argu-
ment for the defense. Adjourned.

EDUCATION

There are, in Tennessee, 364,668 per-
sons who can neither read nor write. OF
this number, 17S,727 are white, and
1924 are black. In regard to sex,
2Ol,473 are women and 1876 are men.
If these figures be correct, and we feel
confident they are, they afford an unans-
werablc argument in favor of the estab-
lishment of an efficient school system.
The friends of popular education have a
great work before them. The cause is
gaining strength day by day. Every
movement that has for It's object the dis
semmination of knowledge, is a public
benefit and deserves encouragement.
Our county system needs encourage
meDt. 1t will take time to bring it up to
what it should be. The greatest difficult
ty in the way. is want of sufficient money
to carry it on. Our children are demand
ing better school facilities.

We are glad to learn that at almost

Northern portion of FOUR county hat a re-
yival of religion is in progress. The peo-
pie manifest a deep interest and attend
regularly and in large numbers. 1t is a
matter of rejoicing and great expectation
with all christians, that God is exhibiting
the power of his spirit and presence in
our midst in the awakening and CONVEX
sion of many sinners.
There is, also, a revival of much inter-
est in progress in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Elizabethton. under the minis
~trations of Rev. j. i. Mann, and others.
The congregations are very large and the
people of our sister town are greatly inter-

The girls sewed and taught school, and
thereby became Independent. To-day
the boys are men of the highest standing
IN their different pursuits, and the women
brave, noble and industrious, and above
all perfectly independent. About the
slme time another family started in a diff
ferent direction, with wealth and plenty.
The toys became gentlemen of leisure,
and are now ~drunkards, and the girls are
lazy, slovenly. and a perfect drag upon
the father. who is on the very verge of
bankruptcy. The boys are a nuisance.
and a man would as soon think of marry
ing an inmate Of the ~lunatic asylum as
one of these indolent and thriftless daugh-
tiers!
Our notions of labor are radically
wrong. The pillow, the anvil and the hoe
the plane, jack-knife and last-are en-
blems of serritude, and We poor fools are
bringing up our children without habits of
thought, of work and of independence.
All the crimes which now curse every
neighborhood in tins county can be traced
to a contempt of labor and a free use of
whisky. Men-solid men-are too lax
in their examples. We can point to you
daily examples of members of the differ
ent churches in town and in the country,
visiting tipping houses and drinking their
drains regularly. They don't seem to
think that any one sees ~them-perhaps
don't care. They certainly do not reflect
upon what a horrid example they are set
ting by this open and hold-faccd profana-
ton. They forget that the eyes of all
men are on them, and, above all, that the
slce2less Eye Of Jehovah ever rests upon
them! How can the Press and the Pulpit
wage n successful war with sin and crime
when in this town, and in every ~neighbor-
hood in this county, members of churches.
and men high in public esteem, ~patrOnize
these tipping bells, and in some instances
actually vend the liquid damnation out to
a thirsting crowd!
The time has come when the Churches
must cleanse their registers and the Press
must thunder iuto the ears of fathers and
mothers the fearful truths of the degene-
racy and the dissoluteness of their child
rem. Public opinion must be directed to
these matters. When oncc aroused, the
time will o O come when whisky selling
and tipping will be under the ban, and
when peace and order and happiness will
reign over our whole country.
