One of the students at Davidson Col.
lege, who was too lazy To do anything
right, was in the habit of cleaning out
his lamp chimney by running his finger
down il and twisting il around. After
he had cleaned II out in this particular
manner one day not long ago, fellow
student took il up and carried il TO the
residence of one Of the professors with
the inquiry, "Why is il that this chin
ney is smoked just up to this point and
no farther" The learned gentleman
entered into an elaborate and scientific
explanation why il was, arguing with
great lueidness, and citing various author
tiles 10 show the correctness of his reason
ing When he had finished, the student
said to him, No, sir; you are wrong"
Why sit, then, inquired the professor
Because the fellows fingers were moi

There is a well-known story Of a Dutch
boy who, when a small stream began to
dribble through little hole in the dyke,
stopped it up with his finger until better
means came, and 50 prevented the inun-
dation. which else would have broken
down the barriers and swept over the
country in universal desolation and dis
aster. This was one Of the small begin
nings of things, so easy to arrest in the
outset, so difficult, nay, impossible to
overcome when once the barriers have
been forced and the floods suffered to
pour forth. And we are all able, like the
Dutch lad, to stop up the primary hole
through which the fatal drops are begin
ming to trickle, il only We pay attention
to the warning, and take care to prevent
the terrible end while we can. But it
unfortunately happens that presence Of
mind is not always ready at the proper
moment; or if it is, in fact, it is not di-
rected to the channel it should be bent
upon; and hence the opportunity is lost,
never to be recalled.
There is not one person now reading
these words who is not conscious for his
or her own part of the present tyranny
of habits, one or more, which once could
have been checked as easily as the Dutch
boy stopped the deluge of waters. Now,

some Of your resders by word l con
tribute the following:
We have the dryest season here that
was ever experienced in this part Crops
will necessarily be very short on this ac-
count. Wheat is very good, and is most
ly cut. Potatoes, oats and grass will not
be third of crop; corn might make
half crop if we getrain soon. Not
withstanding the dry weather the world
moves on.
Rev. Strickling is carrying on pro-

ED SHRlr: As you are aware, We have
just passed over another anniversary OF
the birthday of National Independence,
and we feel anxious to hear from the diff
ferent parts Of our county to know in
what manner the good people of Old
Monroe celebrated that day. We pro-
pose to say something in regard to the
manner in which it was celebrated in our
patriotic little village Of New Castle.
Early in the day our old and patriotic
fellow townsman, Edward Hopton, might
have been seen digging hole short
distance east of the Hopton Hotel. He
said in short time lie wished some assis
tance to raise pole on which to suspend
a flag bearing the Stars and Stripes. 1t
was understood that at certain time he
would ring a bell when the citizens would
assemble and participate in that glorious
privilege of once more unfurling the flag
Of their country.
The bell was rung land it seemed to call
fresh to their memory the bell that was
rung by grandpa ninety-eight years ago
from that day. After the banner was
raised and the Stars and Stripes proudly
foated in the breeze, speeches were made
by John Gatohell, L D. Eaton and Owen
Hurd, after which three rousing cheers
we're given for the old flag and three more
