OVER AT CROMWELL

Having a few hours leisure on Satur-
day, the "old gent and | visited the
charming little town of Cromwell. The
merchants complained of a heavy days
work on Saturday, but thought they
would be all right by Monday. We met
several OF the farmers in town, who in
formed us that large quantity of tobac>
co plants of fair size were on hand, and
would soon be ready to set out. Wheat
there, and all along the road, looked we'll.
We trust they will have a general good
crop. The ride gave us a ravenous appe>
tite, so we called on the gentlemanly
clerk-Mr. j. w. Cooper-of the Tilford
House, for dinner. which he furnished us
in abundance. They know how to feed
the hungry. We were highly entertained
for few hours by the belle Of the town,
Miss Emma W, who favored us with
some Of the sweetest music that we ever
listened to. We also met the accom-
plished Miss Jennie T., of Caneyville,
looking as gay as ever.
JOB THE STORM GAVE EN-.
Quite a number OF our farmers have
been busy for a week rebuilding the
fences blown down by the wind on last
Saturday week, which was more dam
aging than was at first supposed.
TIE COOLEST DAY.
Some think last Saturday was the
coolest fifteenth of May We have had for
several years. Juno.

A FISHING PARTY.

AN ERRONEOUS REPORT.
A rumor has gone forth that the citi-
zens ofth place have established Sum
day School for the colored population.
This is altogether mistake, and | trust
those who have been so informed will
notice the correction. 1t is true that in
a lonely little hut about two miles from
here, and near the Taylor Coal Mines, a
Sunday School is being Taught, the
teachers being composed entirely of white
men and women, but only one of the num-
Der resides at this place, and he being a
government officer, l suppose there is
nothing wrong in it. We find upon en-
quiry that the house is situated in a
pleasant place for the business, there be-
ing plenty of shade, and current of air
always passing to carry the scent of, and,
besides, il is remote from the noise and
hustle Of the busy world. 1t was once
the home of the distinguished colored
gentleman, Hon. Armststead Berry, who,
becoming weary of country life, disposed
OF his property and located in the heart
OF Beaver Dam. 1t was afterwards the

Castles In Sand.
BY HIRAM RICH.

Two children were making tie most ofthe day
IN the sand their castles building,
While out in the harbor the sunset gold
Was every vessel gliding.
But the sea came over the castles dear,
And the charm of the sunset faded;
Oh after labor is lost may we
Go happily home as they did.
For we build and build in a different way,
Till our heads are wise and holry;
But after II all the sun goes down,
And the sea-'ts common story.

regard 10 the labor supply, and the people

Perhaps Texas affords still more strik-
ing instance of the contrast between
Grantism and self-govcrnmcnt Under
the rule OF GRANT officials that state,
which had no debt previous to recon-
structiou, was reduced TO virtual bank
ruptcy. During Gov. DAVIES administra-
ton between the years 1870 and 1873 the
rate OF taxation was raised from Is cents
to t1.10 ON the 800; extravaganza and
jobbery pervaded every department Of
the Government, and when that distin-
gushed friend Of the President left Office,
treasury warrants were selling for only
10 cents on the dollar. Two years Of
Democratic rule have wrought n wonderful
change. Treasury warrants under Gov
CoKEs administration soon rose TO 81 and
o. cents, while the rate Of taxation was re-
duced from tl70 to 80 cents on the 900
the expenses of the State Government
being reduced in like proportion. Gov.
COKE is paying off the debt contracted by
his predecessor as rapidly as possible and
the state Is thriving rs ii never thrived
before.
But in Mississippi, Louisiana, and South
Carolina, where GRANTS ndherents main
tain their nsccndancy, the work OF thievery
IL still progressing, debts are accommodating,
and the newspapers are filled with lists of
estates advertised TO be sold for non-pay-
ment of taxes. In the city OF New Or
leans, which is in the hands OF the carpet
baggers, property is taxed at 3.95 per cent,
in addition TO special taxes. which the
Property Holders Union In that city say
will carry the total tax up TO about b45 per
cent on the assessed value Of property
But this is not all. Tho property in the
city of New Orleans IL assessed at from two
to four times its marketable cash value,
making the actual taxation from 10 TO 20
per cent. on the true value.
We commend these facts TO the consid-
GRAFTON OF business men whose interests
depend upon condition Of general pros
perity throughout the country.
