Fashion-what She Does.

Fashion rules the world, and q most
tyranical mistress che is, compelling peo~
pie to submit TO the most inconvenient
things imaginable, for fashions sake.
She pinches our feet with tight boots,
or chokes us with a tight neckerchief, or
squeezes the breath out of our badly by
tight lacing.
She makes it vulgar to wait on our
selves, and genteel to live idle aud use
lessly.
She makes people visit when they
would rather stay at home, eat when they
are not hungry. and drink when they are
not thirsty.
She invades our pleasure, and inter-
rupts our business.
She compels people to dress-gsily,
whether upon their own property or that
Of others whether agreeable to the word
OF God or the dictates of pride.
She makes people sit mp when they
ought to be in bed, and keeps them in
bed in the morning when they ought to
be up and dong.
She ruins health and produces sickness;
destroys life, and occasions death.
She makes foolish parents, invslids OF
children, and servants Of all.
She is tormentor Of conscience, de-
spoiler Of morality, and enemy Of religion;
and no one can be her companion aud
enjoy either.

A few days ago Mr.. Richard Durham

slipped and he fell under the wheels,
which cut of one arm and both his legs,

and half. His wife was sent for, and
got here in time to see him before he
died. She tried to get him to pray, but
he seemed delirous, and repeated several
times. 81 don't give d-m, don't give

His wife came here next day and tele-

trial was set for Saturday, but postponed

not appear against him he will be re-
leased. She states that he has stripped
her of nearly everything; and left her in
a very destitute condition.
Messrs. Coleman, Barrett and Hooker,

here last Saturday. There was good

On Advertising.

In good times advertising makes bust.
ness better, and in bad ones, less bad.
That business which is not capable of ex-
tension deserves to die out, like the snuff
ofan old-fashioned candle, and the men
who are doing enough" and won't have
help to increase their profits, should make
way altogether for others. Another set
unfriendly TO the true interests OF adver>
Using, which blesses threefold, the adver-
tiser, newspaper proprietor, and public
and that is the toast-andwater lot-men
who so in their trade organs "now and
then"
There exists among most classes great
ignorance upon all points this way. many
supposing that advertising only benefits
them directly, when the truth is. that
giving publicity to goods really creates,
as well as supplies demands. Another
bunch is comprised in those who "leave
off advertising for a year," to "see what
travellers will DO" These are answered
by Professor Holloway's experience. He
spent so much yearly in advertising. and
obtained such trade that for a year he
stopped all his advertisements. Well, he
los. more by a falling off in custom, or
failing to reach his accustomed increase,
than he saved by not advertising; SO he
never repeated the evil experiment To
cease advertising, even for a quarter, is
to take up the thread Of an almost for
gotten discourse. To be made profitable.
advertisements should be made attract
i've and illustrative. wherever possible ;
with the silent points in bold type, and
in all cases they should be continuous.
"Out of sight, out Of mind" in double
Sense holds true with respect TO all adj
vertisements. The rock to steer clear Of
is niggardliness; penny wise and pound
foolish ruling firmly in this matter, IS

himself to make journey in foreign

Farmers are done planting corn and
now are blowing and rePlaatisg 1t. Some
have plowed their corn over twice and it
looks very well. Some of the neighbors
have planted their tobacco ground in
corn, thinking it will pay better than to-
bacco which l have no doubt will, but
we have to raise something to bring us a
little money, and tobacco is about the
only thing we can raise, that will always
bring us a little money. but it seems that
this is one year it is going to fail, for only
one crop in the neighborhood has been
sold, and never saw prettier prospect

will be better than they have been for

Rev. John Casebier preached an ele-
CANT sermon last Sunday evening, at the
Central Grove school house, near E. Mil
ler's. 1t was one OF interest, his subject
was "the wonderful events Of time" He
spoke OF the great event of the flood,
when all mankind persisted but eight,
then the raining Of fire and birthstone on
the two cities and passing through Red
Sea, and Joshua commanding Of the sun
to stand still he said they were all won
derful and remarkable events of time
but then he said OF all events the death
of Christ was the most wonderful, first
was the manner in which he died. So in
fact, it was good sermon, from begin
ming to the end, and il was made to a
house and yard full of people. L. B. l.

had monopolized every girl but one, and
she, out of chagrin, at thus being slight

lady of the house, like all good wives
should he, was in an interesting con-

most casual observer. She was called
10 one side, and between her. the young
lady, and Thompkins the following pro-

affection, and finally turned into bed,

we find many names Of early citizens

over the delinquent lists returned by the
sherifis in early days.

county, gone to Post Vincent, gone ia

names whose decendents still constitute

of their ancestors.
The names Of many Of those early pio>
neers are now given, with the country
from which they came, as far as can be
