The Three WatchWOrds.
ALFRED NORRIS.


To watch, to wait, to work
All, me- the fiery sun,
The level, treeless, barren, dew-drained
fields
l would the Work was DONE
To watch, to work, to wait
All, me the tedious roar
OF wreck strewn oceans rooted with somhre
clouds
would the Watch was DER.
To wait to work, to watch
All, me Thou absent Friend.
CONTEST Thou quickly So Thou said'st,
I" / would"
The Waiting had an end
Mysoul, be still and strong
Sight follows after faith.
In all advancement of the true and good.
He cometh as he saith.
My soul, be still and strong;
Here on thy Lords estate
No place is useless. no experience vain,
Work on, Watch on, and Wait

The teeth, it should be impressed upon
children, should be cleansed as well and near
ly as often as the face-at least after each
meal. The habit of taking care of the teeth
should be early formed by the child, until it
becomes as essential to its OVID comfort as
cleansing any other part of the body.

CHEAP DIsINFECTANTs.-One pound of
green copperas, costing seven cents, dissolved
IN one quart of water, and poured down a wa
ter-closet will efectually destroy the fullest
smells. On bo.rd ships and steamboats,, about
tOtels and other places. there is nothing so
nice to purify the air. Simple green coperas
dissolved under the bed in anything that will
hold water, will render hospital, or other
place for the sick, free from unpleasant smells.
For butchers stalls, fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are often
sive, putrid gases, dissolve copperas and
sprinkle it about, and in few days the
smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse
dies about the house and sends forth an often
sive gas, place some dissolved copperas in an
open vessel near the place where the nuisance
IS, and it will soon purify the atmosphere.

THE letter of Mai. w. J. Sykes,
which will be found in another col
umn, was drawn out by the statement
in a public journal that the railroad,
which he had advocated were never
built, but were paper railroads" He
felt that it was due to the enterpris-
Is no was advocating to reply to this,
not on his own account but in justice
to those enterprises; and hence this
letter The Memphis Appeal, in pub
fishing it, says that lit is a record
which every unbiased man in Tennes-
see, Alabama and Mississippi, knows
TO be true" aad the Wing and Tribune
says in its last issue: at is tenn
perate and dignifed. Personally we
highly esteem the Major, and would
not knowingly rob him of a single
laurel"
The facts stated in this letter all
our old citizens know to be true.
Mai. Sykes has been labOring in be-
half Of internal improvements in this
State and in Alabama for more THAI
a quarter of a century, but we do not
agree with him that he should leave
this work to others whose private for
tunes better qualify and enable them
to attend to such matters. But it is
a great misfortune that often our
men of wealth do not exhibit much
enterprise in public improvements.
We hope this may be different in the
future

ness, and, in that way without intending it
injured themselves, 4"
We give these EXTRACTS to show
that his views are now the same that
they always were and that what many
considered at that time the dreams
of a visionary enthusiast have become
sober realities. 1t may be that he
has not realized Individually any
benefit from these things. but that
does not prove that his views were
not sound. 1t is the fate of some
men to advocate enterprises of which
others often get the benefit.
1t is perhaps due to Major Sykes
to state that in his speech at Law
renceburg on the first Monday in
November, he said that it was his
last railroad speech, "that he could
not, in justice to himself, devote any
more attention to such subjects and
those who needed and would be most
benefited by railroads should moi
only build but advocate Them"

THIS Congressional District has
now five candidates in the field who
want to go to Congress. Col. N. n.
Cox, of Williamson county, Gen. W.
G. Whitthorne, of Maury and the
present holder of the position, Hon.
Jonathan Morris, of Wayne, Col. I.
III. Gibbs, of Maury, and Rev. Joe
NJ. Sowell, of this Lawrence county.
These have declared themselves can
didates, while in Giles county Major
B. F. Matthews is favorably spoken
of, and would probably be formid-
able candidate in the race. We are
certain of five, however, and think
there will be at least six more before
the campaign opens. As to the poll
tics of these known candidates we
have heard nothing definite, but as a
matter of course it is presumed that
Col. Gibbs will go it on the straight
out Republican ticket. Gen. Whit,
thorne, we suppose, will submit him.
self to the rules of a convention, and
we have been credibly informed that
Col. Cox will do likewise. Mr.. Sow
ell will, if we understand him, run
through regardless of conventions,
while we guess that Judge Morris
will run as he did before, as an 'inde-
dependent. "-Laecrcnce Journal, NoU.
22d.
Last week we stated editorially
that Col. J. M. Sowell would run for
Congress independently without re-
gard to Convention. We will state
now, on better information, that he
will be governed in his action by cir
cumstances, and as he sees fit, sub
NIT himself to Convention or not
