Because your neighbors advise,
And draw away the dimes;
But boldly do as they have done,
Pursue the course they have begun
And drive away dull times.

to overtures from the HolSton Metho-

The almost daily rains that have

damaged the wheat crop fully one

ally hold their tongues? We don't
know but one beside the deaf and
dumb ones, and so can't say. Can any
woman hold her tongue? There the
problem is too many for US, for we
don't know 'em all.
Advertising is a great bother. 1t
only brings lot of folks to your place
of business. If they want you, let
them hunt you up. Then if you get
your name in the paper you will be
bored with drummeTs, and people from
the country will call on you and you
will have to show them goods, and like
enough have to do up bundles for
them, which will exhaust your stock
so much that you will be obliged to
buy more goods, which is a great trou-
BILE. If you advertise, too, it gives
your place reputation abroad; folks
will go there and crowd you, and make
it too lively. If you don't want to do
anything, keep as still as you can

About week ago an attempt was
made to rescue w. II. Hall from the
Asheville (lS. c. jail he being under
sentence of death for murder. The
attempt proved a grand failure, and
lhe btblutI Oh lu6 prisoner gave MS
life in the attempt, while others of the
party have been arrested. The scene
is described by the ErpOSitOr as heart
rending when a sister of the unfoTtu-
nate man made her appearance. Her
feelings can be better imagined than
described, when she realized the fact
that her husband was one of the par
ties charged with attempting the res
cue, brother lying dead on the
ground, and another brother in the
Jail under sentence of death.
