TovEsnoRo The Herald and Tr1t-
,,ae SAYS, in speaking of Col. Geo. X.
,1.clouan as candidate for Congress,
"the present split in the rePubl can party
: NOT # 60 serious a character, as to pre-
Glade all possibility Of its being bridged
over. If the question is forced upon us OF de-
deciding between republican and DEM
ocrat. The people, that is the rank and
file of the republican party, have the right
todetermine who shall carry their standard
through the coming campaign" This sim
,lv means that, if Butler be the nominee,
the II. and 7. (H.ll and TA1nderl will go
for him.
The II and T. also declares, that S. A.
Poycl will be elected to the Senate.
SALEM. Va.-The Register, says
Mrs. G.. A. Understood, now the wife of W.
d. Underwood, has been adjudged lunatic
and sent to Jail. There is pittiful story,
about this poor woman, which we will let the
Register tell:
In 1877 she first lost her mind, and was
cont 70 the ASYLUM at Staunton, where she
rapoined about twelve months, when her
mind WAS thought 10 be fully restored -
l.ro,n that time up 10 a few weeks ago
She seemed TO be perfectly sane, and attend
"a n her household duties as usual. 1t is
Tia she lost hel mind on both occasions

inc tho war for desertion. lie was mem

lent Davis the day upon which her husband
was 10 be shot. She arrived at the camp
With II i,ist ten minutes too late, just in time

In which her husband had been deposlted.--
Her mind now 5, ems TO he on that event all
Tho time. She often talks Of her former
husband, and OF the officer who put The death
,oytence into execution, declaring all the
.,,,,e that he WAS aware Of her having OBJ
t,incd the pardon, and of his having him
.hot before the time appointed. We have
NOT learned the name Of the officer thus
charged. but If her statement be correct,
and he is still liE ny, we hope the ghost OF
rho dead man NAV haunt him the balance

1t is the custom in the North and
Vi est to take the members Of Con-
gress from the different counties, M
less they have very good member
in which case they continue him
for years. Now let us see how the
different counties in this district have
been honOred: Lee had a member;
Scott had a member for years Rus
sell had a member twelve years Taze-
well has the representative now, and
and has had candidates four or FIVE
times: Roanoke had q member for
fourteen years: Montgomery had n
member for number of years, and
now has the Agricultural and Me-
chanicaI College. which is worth to
the county more than ten members
of Congress would be: iHnlaSki had
Hon. JAS Draper in Congress
Wythe has had three or foIr members,
has lately had Gen. Terry there, and
she has the Court of Appeals. which
is of great value to Wythev:lle and
the county: Washington has had SIX
or eight members of Congress. has
had two Governors; and U. 5 Sena-
tor twice. a number of Judges, and
now has the District court. Smyth
has had only member of the Con,
federate Congress for part OF
session: and | think it is time that
this and the other counties. which
have never had representatives should
share in the political hOnors of the
DISTRICTS, if they haze as competent
men as the counties which have had
so many honors conferred upon them.
What say the people TO this sug>
gestion?

GREAsING BUGGIES AND WAGONS
The Canada Farmer says that greasing
buggies and wagons is of more Importance
than some people imagine. and that many
a wheel is ruined by oiling too plentifully
A well-made wheel will endure constant
wear from ten to twenty years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of oil q; but if this matter is not at
tended to, the wheel will be used up in five
or six years, or it may be sooner. Lard
should never be used on wagon, for it
will penetrate the hub, and work its way
around the tendons of the spokes and spoi
the wheel. Castor oil is good materia
for use on an iron axle just oil enough
should be applied to a spindle to give it
light coating this is better than more, foI
the surplus put on will work out at the
ends, and be forced oy the shoulders anC
nut into the hub around the outside Of tbs
boxes. To oil the axletree, first wipe th'
spindles clean with cloth wet with turpen
tine, if it won't wipe without it. On
buggy or carriage, wipe and clean off th,
back and front ends of the hubs, and thei
apply a very small SAantity of castor oil
or more especially prepared lubricato
near .he shoulders point.

"WHITK MAN MIGHTY ONsARTAIN. -
The Dawson ga journal is responsible
for the following:
A negro living in a neighboring county
having been fortunate enough to accumu-
late considerable of this worlds goods, de-
sired, as all loyal subjects should, TO pay q
tax on the same. II being a new business
to him, he did not know there was q pro-
per officer to receive tax, and concluded all
that was necessary was to find a man with
white skin. Consequently he hailed the
first white man he met with, Say, boss, !
wan. TO pay my tax mus | glib it to you 2"
On being told that it would be received by
the comprehending white gentleman, the
negro gave him s25, and asked if that was
enough.
81 suppose il is,'' said the white man.
BOSS. GIN me shown for dat, - said the
negro.
Again the wits of the white man were at
work, and he soon handed the negro a slip
of paper with the inscription "As Moses
lifted the serpent out Of the wilderness,
likewise have 1 lifted s25 cut of this negro's
pocket"
Not long after this the negro met with
the tax-collector proper, who asked him
for his tax.
"Done paid it, boss, and here's de 'ceipt,"
st the same time handing the piece of paper
30 the officer.
He read "As Moses lifed the serpent
out Of the wilderness, likewise have lifted
s25 out OF this negro's pocket
"Hold on, boss, you read um wrong"
calculated the astonished darkey, az he
snatched the paper and carried it TO an
other man. who began to read
'As Mooses lifted" Here he was
interrupted by the negro, who exclaimed:
''Look-a-yar jest gin me dat paper.
Hm gwine TO lift dat white man out'n his
bookstore God lis -
With this he left. No report yet from
the scene Of war.

Men have grown old in our patronage
Babies on their mothers breast
To bouncing boys at play;
And youths by maidens fair caressed.
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
and old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impress
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, We stand a living monumental
memento OF the ingenuity and perseverance ap-
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style Of art and
perfection, and aspiring TO achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci-
~, and the sentiment of respect and appreciation
which the presence OF superior appliances and es-
tablishment are always wont to inspire.
Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whirkers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of abity-nor as
some have done for our of the ballot for prin.

FARMERS GIRLS.

Up in the early morning,
Just at the peep Of day,
straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen.
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry.
Hunting the eggs at the barn,
Roasting the meat for dinner.
Spinning the stocking yarn,
Spreading the snow white linen
Down on the bushes below.
Ransackiug every meadow
Where the red strawberries grow.
Starching their cotton for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Raising the pals and strainer.
Down in the running stream,
Feeding the geese and poultry,
Making the pudding and pies,
Jndding the little ones Grade,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty of form and feature
Thousands might cOvet to oSu--
Cheeks that rival roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls;
One OF these country maidens is worth
score of your giddy girls.

"a STITCHIN TIME. Now is the time,
says an Iowa farmer, to make all repairs
that are needed about our farms and ma
chinery, so that when spring, summer and
harvest come we will be fully prepared to 90
ahead with our work without stopping to
make repairs. | find that | have plow
beam to make, shovel plow handle to fix,
and an arm for one of the rakes on my
self-raker a new bottom for my wagon
box; new hay rigging, and head piece
for one of my harrows. This kind of work
out of doors-hauling up winters and sum-
mer's wood-just rough enough to work in
the shop. Many farmers will find they
have also some repairs to make and pro-
badly some new wood work needed some
where about the farm machinery. Now is
also good time to look to your seed and
clean it thoroughly. 1 put in a side spout
that goes with my tanning mill and take
out just the very largest and best grain for
seed-and it pays well TO clean seed tho
roughly. Ifyou will separate out the best
of your wheat and then SOW right by the
side of it the small and inferior grain, and
some just as it comes, you will see what a
difference it will make. You can tell as
soon as it comes up, and you viii see the
dividing line all the time until it is harvest
ed, and will notice still more difference
when you thresh. If you were not fortu-
nate enough to save your seed corn before
the heavy frosts last fall, look around
among your neighbors and get some good
seed. 1t is better to pay five dollars bush
ell than to accept poor seed as gift. Good
seed of all kinds is what all of US should
take pains to have.
