Sleeping Towns and Villages.

Scattered all over tho South you will
find towns and villages that are as sound
asleep as ever Rip Vsn Einkle was.
You may thunder IN their ears that
there are moro things marching on than
John Browns soul, they'll yawn ont
they don't care, let them march, all they
intend to do is to sleep These sleeping
towns and villages refuse to join in the
great march of improvement, you cant
rouse them, they are Irugged with the
traditions Of the past, and thus they re
and nod, and no man can arouse them.
Talk to them about modern improve
ments in agricultural aud domestic i'm.
plements, and they'll tell you that what
Noah used is COOL enough for them
They don,t.Bant sny new jnrcntions;
Noah's wifa got along without a sewing
machine, and they don't sec Why mod
crn women can't sew in the COOL old
style. The old fashioned agricultural
Implements suit them; they like their
rusty look.
Enemies of the new, friends o. the
old, you cannot arouse them to the
knowledge that thcysare far kBehind
their energetic and progressive neigh
bors. They are apaihetic, indifferent,
unwilling to be up, pade sdSing. The
some old lazy way suits them best, and
they turn the cold shoulder to every,
thing like enterprise and modern i'm
proycmeut. @hF
Ofcourse we of the South have had
and still harerrauch to depress and di.
courageous, but we shoul1 make the cf-
fort, at all events, to rise alb boyc circum
stances. The only way thatihe South
can ever hope to be prosperous, is to be
wide awake, to ,omerge from tho dark
old hermit like caves, OF the past; to put
the hand to the plough of progress and
improvement, and never to look back
Onward and upward should be our
motto; for it is only by ambition and
effort that men ever succeeded in any
thipg,-Dwlimgton Southermer.

The LAKE Shore Railroad and Union
Trust Co.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 24.-The Sun says !:
Some months ago Horace F. Clark, Presi.
dent, August Schell, Vice President, and
james 81. Banker, Treasurer, all OF the
Lake Shore Company, formed pool for
operating in the stock Of that corporation.
The capital OF the pool was stated at from
Sc, 100000 to $15, 900, 900, and was opera
ted through George B. Grinnell 8 Co.
With the approach Of the panic railroad
shares began TO decline, and as.this com.
binatiop was heavily loaded with Lake
Shore, they were put to their wits to raise
money to keep their margins good and
hold their stocks. Finally an imperative
demand was made from their brokers for
money They, as officers Of the Lake
Shore, called on themselves as officers Of
the Trust Company, for bonds held by
the latter company, $3.50 1000 in amount)
which were taken to Grinnell s. Co., who
were authorized to raise the needed
money on them. Commodore Vanderbilt
succeeding Clark to the Presidency Of the
Lake Shore road, by legal means pre-.
vented the Union Trust Company from
making theranster Of these bonds, and in.
sisted that the members Of the pool
should either replace the bonds or their
equivalent. The banker has made over
to the Commodore real estate valued at
$700,000, Vanderbilt has assumed Clark's
share, and Schell Is said TO be doing his
best to make good his share,
