here who regretted to bid her good bye
and there are some very grave suspi-
ciOns that she carried away with her
a heart that is not strictly her own.
If she left her own in lieu of the one
she captured, We presume no one will
grumble. We, and at least one citizen
of Muhlenburg county, would be
pleased to have Miss Mollie come
again.
Mr.. j. w. Hays. a very agreeable
commercial traveller for Ragon Broth
ers, Evansville, Ind, touched at this
place on his down trip last week. He
pays less for travelling expenses than
any other drummer we knOwtf. He
takes his skiff on board the Bowling
Green at Evansville, and rides up to
WOodberry, from which place he starts
down stream with his samples in his
own craft. He is captain, clerk, engin-
eer, pilot, mate and rOustabout, he
stops at all way places, regardless of
connection.
We noticed Messrs. Thomas Stevens.
of Beaver Dam, and K. G.. Duncan, of
Rockport, on board the boat as she
went down Sunday morning. We
would be uneasy about Collie, but we
know that Cap. Bewly will take care
of him, as he does of all unsOphisticated
youths.
Thomas Barnes, son of 1T. Barnes,
who lives a couple of miles below here
on the river, died last Sunday, and
was buried here Monday. He was
about eighteen years old, and had been
in bad health for more than a year.

During the past three or four weeks
we have heard good deal of rumor
about mad dogs ON the other side of
the river. Whether there has been
any cases of hydraphobia or not, it
is certain that many of the dogs have
been acting very strange, and very
much like they were rabid and have
been killed on that account.

Editor Herald:
Our farmers are well along with
their work, and crops are looking well.
Very little is said about the coming
crop of tobacco, and the indications
are, that in this section it will not be
a heavy one. Whether right or
wrong, a great many farmers have
concluded that tobacco does not pay.
1t might be well for them to bear in
mind that the price of 100 pounds of
tobacco to day, although not half
as much as we used to get, will buy as
much of the necessaries of life as the
price of the same amount bought in
what people generally denomlnate
better times. A few years ago man
could sell 100 pound of tobacco for
SIS. and spend all the money for a
half bolt of domestic, now he can sell
the same amount for $500 and buy a
whole bolt of domestic, calico dress,
a whole lot of fish-hooks, and have
some money left to go to the circus
with. The goods that the farmers
have to buy have gone down lower
than their farm products. The bal
ance of trade is in their favor. 1t is
all bosh for a man who is out of debt
to complain of hard times because
farm products are low, or because
labor is low. The laborer who spends
his fifty cents day for what he
needs at the grocery or dry goods
store, carries away with him larger
bundle than when he got 81. Il day,
and spent it for the same kind of goods.
1t is harder to get dollar than it
used to DO, but there is more power,
more vim in that dollar than there
used to be in two. If some of our
surplus stock were turned into
money, 1t would be better for the
people than to let them eat their heads
off, and Mr.. Iglehart's Stock Sales at
Hartford must surely be good OPP
portunity for those who have stock to
sell. Mr. Iglehart's scheme should be
pushed. When stock buyers from
other portions of the State find that
they can get stock by attending those
sales, they will be on hand with the
cash, aud will pay more than if they
had to ride over the green briers, cane
brakes and the country generally, and
collect drove of stock from the fur
winds.
One of our neig hbors, Il highly es-
teemed young gentleman, has been
acting very strangely. Wishing to
visit some relatives who live. beyond
Greenville, this young man went to
pentertown, which Is five miles In the
opposite direction to spend the night
there, so as oget soon start. Ha !!
ha ha! Good by John.
Miss Mollie Davis and Mrs. Page,
of Nashville, Tenn, left for home on
board the steamer Bowling Green a
few days age They spent several
weeks with Mrs. BAKERS family, who
are near relatives, and from the length
of their visit, we suppose they spent
their time very pleasantly. Miss
MOllie made many new acquaintance

"WHERE did you leave the hoe ?"

not be well for our candidates to learn
this mode of giving explicit answers

THE man who does charitable deed
with the expectation or hope of re-
ward, is but a barterer in the ex-
change of commodities, and frequently
loses his pay, and hardens himself
and Others against real objects of char
ity, but he who does deeds of charity
from pure benevolence, is doubly paid
by the approval of a good conscience.
A PATCH is much more honorable
than debt on ones back, an old suit
in church is much more comfortable
than any suit in court; and a shabby
hat looks much better, in the eyes Of
sensible people, than new hat not
paid for.
AN old man was heard to say, it was
best not to see too much, that he once
stepped in store, and found a man be-
hind the counter stealing whisky, and
what was the result? For years after,
he could hear of the whisky thief, ira
ducing and telling lies on him. If
the whole truth was known how often
would it be found, that honest mems
characters are traduced from the same
motive by villains.
In 1889, out of 104,622 voters in
the State. only 2S,l70 voted to hold a
convention, to revise the Constitution !;
but in 1919, only ten years after, a
vote of 101 1928, out of al 500 total
votes, the convention question was
carried with a whoop. Now in this,
1879, new convention year, wonder if
there will be woman to run the I'M
foreground political railroad?
SMILES are really pleasant and
agreeable. and nothing adds more to
the pleasure of social intercourse, and
business transactions until they are at
tempted to be passed as legal tender,
in place of coin or greenbacks, when
so offered, most of us would prefer
careless behavior, or even crabid de-
meanor, with fair dealings, honest
weights and measures, and prompt
payment.
GOOD neighbors are great social
enjoyment, but nothing is more diff
cult than to keep up good neighbor
ship. 1t requires higher degree of
honor, honesty and generosity, than
can be always found in ali the families
composing a neighborhood. When
one has a neighbor always on the bor-
row and never ON the bring home, he
soon becomes disposed to lend that
neighbor nothing but his dog, as he
can come home himself.
A LITTLE boy was measuring two
sticks to see which was longest, and
not having them even at either end
he came to the conclusion that both
We're longest, BECAUSE one was longest
at one end and the other at the other
end. We frequently commit as great
errors in judging the characters of per-
sons. A, is the best speaker, but B
has the best common sense, @ makes
the greatest show, but ID gets along
the best. In fact, they are like the
boys stick, one is longest at one end,
but the other one Is longest al thf
other end.

We commend to Mr.. Hayes the ex-
ample set by Mr.. johnson in 1867,
who rather than let the Army Bill fall,
signed it. although it contained provis-
ions destroying his prerogative as Com
mander-in-Chief, and striking down
the militia Of ten. States of the Union.
In Hayes case. however, his approval
of the Army Bill will only be the in
dorsement Of the doctrine asserted by
him when he withdrew the bayonet
prop from the Packard and Stearns
governments in Louisiana and Florida.
