NOfreSpOn0ence,
Your correspondent has for some
time neglected to furnish itcms for the
columns of THE Press, for the reason
that there have not occurred any

your readers. Yet, Notwithstanding
o ,r comparative silence, we still walk
The ways of earth as before. For sew
eral weeks the Murphy temperance
m ,vement has been the great exciting
t)pic in our midst, there having been
from two to three meetings per week.
About \ hundred persons have sign

never to Patronise the saloon again.
Many family whose means have for
years been gathered in to the money

wives and children in a condition of
want and starvation, and now made
glad. happy and thankful for the great
tidal wave which is doing 30 much
good throughout the land. The scales
are turned and the liquor seller will
soon be in want and will be compelled
to leave his nefsrious pursuits and en-
gage in more honorable business. 1t

after sordid gain blinds the hearts
and censciences OF the large number
who engage in the business. The
great selfish love for self alone, which
is SO deeply seated in so many hearts
makes a wall between their vision and
the untold miseries which they are
fastening upon humanity.

in the manner of conducting the Of

been agitated for some time, until it

Fortune FayOrS the Brave,


We spoke In former number Of our
paper relative to some of the true mer-
it's of Mr.. M0rse's Clothes Washer,
which is being made in this town, one
of which we had at that time. Have
used it for several weeks, and the more
we become accustomed to its use, the
better it is liked. We notice that Mr..
Morse has come out with u new circH-
lar, in which he states he has placed
in the second National Bank in this
town 500, which he will give to any
person who will produce dirty clothes
that cannot be washed as we'll and as
clean by the use of his FavOrite WASH
er as by any other process, If the d.
rections are strictly followed. such
advertising Us that shows to the pub
lie that Mr.. Morse has an article in
which he has the fullest confidence.
And after 600 or 700 have been sold
within the last six months in this vi
cini,y. aud are now in actual use and
are giving such universal satisfaction
il is no wonder that Mr.. Morse, after
b ,ndling his Washer for over seven
Years, and receiving the many Premi'
ums and Medals lie has in all parts o.
the country where his Washer has
been introduced in competition with
all others, We fully believe that hi.
Washer will do all that ia claimed.
We understand that Mr.. Krakow
Son have about completed the ii,
900 Washers. and with whom Mr.
Morse is negotiating for another 1000
to be commenced Immediately. Sucl
men we like to have come and stOI
among us-those who pay ready casl
for all they want. and are ready t
make good all they promise. Sucl
men, having good article, will am

The great reason why the "Crystal

Correspondence.
Our people were called upon, on
March 23rd, to pay the last sad rites 10
one of our oldest Inhabitants, Mr..
James Wilson. Although he was con-
fined to his bet but short time previ-
Gus to his death, he had been a great
sufferer. He was seventy FIVE years
of age. He was the father of niue
children, seven ot whom, with his
wife, survive him. He was kind and
affectionate husband and father, and
our people deeply sympathize with the
bereaved ones and mourn the loss OF
q kind and obiiging neighbor. MIR.
Wilson had always been a Democrat
and advocated the principles of the
party.
On April 3:d, we were called upcn
to follow the remains of Mr.. A. j.
Patch to the grave. Mr.. Patch had
suffered long with that wholesale de-
stroyer, consumption. He was taken
with the measles, which settled on his
lungs, and it seemed that nothing
could be done to relieve him, uatil
March 3lst, when death ended his
suffering. His age was forty-nine
years. We can say Of him, as of Mr..
Wilson, he was a loving husband and
father he had always been sic ng
Democrat and a genial, good natureu
and obliging neighbor. He leaves a
wife and three children to mourn their
loss. His funeral was largely attend,
ed at his res:dence. Tue services were
conducted by Rev. o. Blake, taking
his text from Matthew, 9th, lO't
verse. "Thy will be done, in earth a.
il is in Heaven" TO speak in praise
OF the discourse from such a subject
and by one so competent as Mr.. Blake
were we capable, time and space will
not allow.
