less those Palsskisns viii be highly gratifed
at the cheerful permission given them by
the Banner to build that fence, and will at
once rush madly to its cons ruction.
The hog question is being freely discussed
by our citizens at this time. 1t is gratify-
ing to know that our people have at last be-
come thoroughly aroused on the subject,
and it is to b9 hoped that "wsr to the knife.
and the knife to the hilt" will be wssed by
the progre. siye element of Nashville against
his hogship's offensive possession of the city.
1t would seem that the very elements con-
spire the present year, to msr the pleasure
Of men. In Morgan county, Illinois, the
recent food covered and swept away thou-
sands of scrss of growing corn, and all of

The rhymer who wrote the as ong of the
Dollar Bill, hit the nail exactly or the head
when he said -
"In this village all adore me,
Churchmen worship at my shrine;
Those who care for no religion
Own the dollar bill divine:
Day and night they glorify me,
Take me for their deity,
With their lips they worship Jesus.
But their hearts they give to me.
"Priest and people love to grab me,
Hold me by what means they can,
Knowing well by native instinct
Pm the power that makes the man.
F0ndly to their hearts they press me,
Next their sonls TREASURED lie;
Some would in their collins take me,
To the grave down when they die.v
The sour and Grabbed st. Louis Journal
man takes gloomy satisfaction in the pub
lication Of items of this character: "Woman
is full Of guile. The last account of her
duplicity comes from Lancaster, Penn,
where young lady agreed to kiss young
man once every night for two years, if he
would reform from usiLg tobacco. Brayely
that young man has stuck 10 his bsrlain,
trudging manfully to her garden gate every
night through all kinds Of weather, and
row, though he still gets his reward, it is no
reward st all for she has taken TO eating
onions. Honor compels him to keep his
word, but the young man Is now little bet
ter than dwelling lunatic, going around
exclaiming, son yon girl my love was
wasted; onion, girl, my heart has bas'ed."
The paragrsphist of the Memphis Ledger,
who has been married nine times, is build
ing book on the matrimonial business,
for the special benefit Of the rising genera
ton. 1t is from the advance sheets of this
work that we clip the following:
ave can give some hints to those who are
in search of the right kind of q wife. For
example, notice girl who has her hair
pulled up on top of her head, snug and
tsut with no loose ends. Her dress be it
Of calico or silk, nicely adjusted with it's
bows and ribbons on straight, and her feet
incased ia shoes that are not run down at
the heel. You eau at once make up your
mind that one arrsyed in this style viii be
Just as neat ard tidy in the home circle, as
her dress betokens her TO be on the street.
Marry girl of this kind 'gith no nonsense
about her, and you have insured your hap
piness in this world, and perhaps in the
next"
