SUMNER LONELINESS.

SUMMER LONELINESS.
The earth, all light and loveliness,
In summers golden hours,
Shine, in her bridal venture clad,
And crowned with festal flowers,
So radiantly beautiful,
So like to heaven above,
We scarce can deem more fair that world
OF perfect bliss and love.
Is this a shadow faint and dim
OF that which is to come (!
What shnll the unveiled splendor be
Of our celestial home,
Where waves the glorious tree OF life,
Where streams of bliss gush free,
And all it glowing in the light
OF Immortality

BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIA,
TION..

The Baptist Churches of Missouri
will hold in Mexico on the 23d of
October next their general etate
meeting. There are nearly ninety
thousand Baptists in Missouri, and
we may expect a very large attend
anCe of ministers and messengers at
this convocat'o on. The wild spread
fame Of Mexico IS a city of the most
generous hospitality, will cause all
who have any inclination to attend
these meetings to feel at perfect lib
erty to come. We hope, therefore,
that every home in our city will b.
opened for the entertainment of those
who may favor us with their presence.
Let not the proud fame OF this beau
tiful city be sullied by a failure to
entertain this influential body oil

L GOLD, L

Americans, like ortogral, of Basra, de-
sire that the golden stream should be sud-
den and violent, or, in other words, that
riches would flow in upon them in a sud-
den and violent stream. The ladies are
also like 0rtogra[. They want their hair
to flow like a golden stream of beauty from
crown to feet. Carboline will do it. IL

it to grow long and luxuriantly. 1t is an
extract from petroleum and thoroughly de-
odorized by a secret process, without the
aid of acids or alkalies. 1t has taken years
of hard work to accomplish this great re-
suit; but, thanks to the chemists art, it
has at last peer so completely deodorlzed
that it can be used as daintily as the fam
pus de cologne" of Farina fame.
The color has, at the same time, been OBJ
iterated, and there can not be possibly
any objections to its use. 1t is.cleanly and

WHO Is FAGG?

We answer that he is the best rep
resentative of the absolute money
lewiston that coulG have been found
In this district, if the old Tadpoles
had raked it with a fiue tooth comb.
A radical Republican of the most
malignant type, who has been uni
form in supporting all the measures
which are now made the pretext for
the organization of the absolute money
faction he suddenly and in the twink
ling OF al eye, repudiates the Repub-
lican party, and at one bound is
turned into a full-grown Britton Hill
Bullfrog. He has always changed
his political affiliations, with the same
facility that he changes his shirt.
Commencing life as a states-rights
Democrat, he was n candidate b." the
time he vas 81 for clerk of the Coun-
ty Court of Pike county. Defeated
in his youthful aspirations, he joins
the know-nothing, dark lantern party,
by whom he was sent to the iegisla-
ture. When that faction died out,
he went to the Wings, from them he
went to the Republicans, who made
him Colonel of the Pike county mill
tia at the beginning of the war;, and
afterwards he was appointed Judge
of the Circuit Court, for which place
he had been defeated by the people
by Judge Buckner, but five years
before by a majority of 1900 votes
His Republican friends then made
him Judge of the Supreme Court,
and now having squeezed the Repub-
liean lemon dry, he fops over into
the same party with Britton Hill and
Crick Pomeroy, with their five living
wives. He has never been known to
refuse an office, Or a chance for one,
and we repeat that he is of all men,
the tittest to head the column of the
malcontents, sore-heads, sore-backs
disappointed, hunters after office, that
are seeking to mislead the. honest
masses of this district. Hurrah fol
Fagg, Haley and Wright, and Capt.
jameson!

JUDGE FAGG IN THE FIELD
From the GAINESVILLE Sentinel.

From the Clarksville Sentinel.
The Greenback Congressional Con.
vention which was held at Montgome-
ry City, on Tuesday last, nominated
Judge L. j. c. Fagg, of this county,
as a candidate for Congress from the
Thirteenth District, in opposition to
Hon. A. Ii. Buckner, the Democratic
nominee. Whether our Radical
friend, Judge Fagg, will accept this
empty honor remains to be een He
is a man of too good sense to suppose
for a moment that he has any show
for an election. However, if he has
a few hundred greenbacks to squan-
der in making the race, it's all right.
1t may be set down as a fixed fact
that if he opposes Buckner, he'll be
so badly beaten rs to deter him from
ever after offering for an office in this
Congressional district. Mark that :!
The Greenbackers have, by nominal
ing an avowed and well known Radi-
cal for Congress, verified our charge
that they are affiliated with the Re
publican party. The fact is now
patent 10 everybody.

GRAND CONCERT.

The grand musical concert given
last Monday night for the benefit OF
yellow fever sufferers under the di-
rection of Prof. TrelOar was a bril-
liant success every way with the ex-
ception that there were not as many
present as should have been consid-
ering the object of the concert The
performance as q whole was excellent
and we only have space to notice some
of the principal features. The effect
of the violin and piano solo entitled
Lucia De Lammermoor' by Prof,
T. A. Hendricks and Miss Lou Gard
ner was somewhat married by the
pages of the music getting disar.
ranged and annoying the performers.
The soprano solo, Waiting" by
Miss Lizzie Slider was rendered in a
most beautiful manner. The song
by Miss Nellie Loar, music teacher al
Hardin College brought down the
house. 1t was '~'perfectly Splendid
to use a phrase we overheard as she
left the stage.
The piano Duet by Miss Title
Phillips and Prof. Treloar was well
rendered.
Miss r. Galloway sang 1.-THE Re-
turn" in a most elegant manner.
Miss Effle Laforce sang in a most
elegant and artistic manner, "Way
Down in Maine," which vas receiv-
ed with the widest applause. Miss
Effie is a great favorite among con-
cett goers in this city.
The march by the Mexico Cornet
| Band also deserves notice. The bant
has been organized but a short time
and is improving rapidly and in 8
short time will be the pride Of our
city.
Jas. Carroll, circuit clerk, Prof
Treloar and others deserve much cred
it in making this concert a success.

JUDGE BUCKNER addressed a large
audience for two hours, on Saturday

remarks gave entire satisfaction, and
he will be sustained by the usual ma
iority in that section of tine district.

NO MORE
The Race to Entirely Disappear.

The announcement that the race Of bald
heads is soon to disappear entirely from the
face of the earth may startle the tlnld, and
CRATE harshly upon the ears of those who
are accustomed to regard the shining pates
of their friends with d sort Of sacred rever-
ence; but no harm is to come to those I'M
~fortunates, who, like poor Uncle Ned, have
no wool on the top of the head, the place
where the wool ought 10 grow" They are
not to be extirpated, and not a hair of
their heads is to be injured. Their bald
ness is to be covered over, not by art, but
by a natural growth of hair, stimulated to
development by the application of that
most wonderful discovery, Carboline, a de-
odorized extract of petroleum. In many
cases it will almost destroy the identity of
the individual for time; but the change
will be such q delightful and agreeable one,
that all must eventually rejoice over it.
1t will be very curious, doubtless, to miss
all the baldheads from the churches tho
lecture rooms, the theaters, and other
public assemblies, but the Transformation
is bound to come. No matter how smooth
or shining the orb-no matter how barren
it has bcen-when tickled Ger a few times
with Carboline ii is bound to bring forth an
abundant crop, and enable the possessor
of the bare head to shake his locks ia
proudly as did ever Samson or Absalam.

from one of the county papers that

judge. Friends, if you have any re.

him. 1t would kill us to have him
