THE PRoDIGAL SON.-No man OF boy
who is shabbily or poorly dressed, has
the same self-respect that the man or boy
has who is neatly, tidily and fashionably
dressed. This has been true in all ages,
and in all countries. When the prodigal
son returned, the very first thing that the
rejoicing father did, was to get the old
ragged clothing Oil the boy, and get Il
neat new suit on him.
If Washam s. Co. had been there, with
such stock Of fine clothing as they keep
in Jackson, the "old man would have got
the new robe there, as he desired to get
the very best the country afforded, and
WaSham keeps that kind and style of
cloth ng. 2jnov4w

fine clothes in his store that he offered to
give us fine hat if we would call in. We
called few days ago, to secure the hat,
but was so struck with the style and
beauty Of Morris goods that we bought
whole suit of fine winter clothing. We
are proud of them-not only On account
of their value, but proud to think that
such goods, and such styles can be pur
chased in Jackson. Go to Morris and
dress up.

Of all diseases to which children are Ii
able, none are SO alarming IN their ap-
proach so dangerous in their consequent
ces and SO often and suddenly fatal in
their result as Group. The attack is Of
tenest in the night. Frequently no ply
sician is near, and yet that peculiar hoarse
cough, that difficult and laborious breath
ing, those spasmodic struggles for respira-
ton, must be relieved Immediately, or the
child will die. A prompt, safe and effect
ual remedy is found in DR.. Seth Harris
Group Syrup, as thousands can testify.

The Handsome Nickel Plated New
Home Lamp being introduced to the
public this Season, is the most merito-
rious article ever offered Agents to make
money with, is safer, and more conven-
lent than the Student Lamp, which has
heretofore had the reputation Of being
the Safest Lamp made. it has clamp to
firmly attach it to the Sewing Machine,
Piano, Organ, Desk, etc. The fear of the
ordinary lamp being accidentally upset
or thrown from the table, is entirely re-
'lieved by this simple clamp contrivance.
1t can be adjusted to throw the light just
where it is wanted to suit the eyes, and
can be converted into handsome wall
lamp. 1t has the best argand burner, a
filing indicator, and convenient match
box, and its price is within the reach of
every one. 1t has been fully tested and
editorially endorsed by the "Western
Christian Advocate" Am. Christian Re-
view," Herald and Presbyter," journal
and Messenger" and christian Stan
dard," the leading Religious papers of
CJllClHIldtl, dlltl lS 6lubISStI bN Illt MAY Vi
and Postmaster of Cincinnati, the Agent
of the American Express Company and
Presidents of Insurance Companies, as
being the Safest, Most Convenient and
best Lamp made.
There are three reasons why Agents
should seek such an article to canvass for
first for its absolute safety and great
convenience, it is needed in every home
second its low price makes its sale i'm
mense,-third it will be a credit to ham
die such an article. One southern Agent
writes, it sells faster than Gen. Lees Por-
trait sold right after the war, another
writes it beats the palmy days Of the
Sewing Machine, its rapid sale, low price,
and liberal terms surprise old Agents.

\ SIGNIFICANT article by the Hon.
George S. Boutwell, in the North Ameri-
can Review for December, entitled The
Future of the Republican Party" is sure
to arrest public attention. Written after

ascertainGd, this article defines the posi-
ton which the Republican Party is, in
logic and in policy, bound to assume tC-
ward the Southern States. Concession,
compromise, Cancellation, the author says
in subseance, Will 10 longer be tolerated
No person is to be admitted to a seat in
the Senate, unless the record of his cleo
ton is clear. New laws are to be passed
for the supervision and protection of the
ballots in the elections of members of the
House of Representatives and Presiden-
tial electors. The civil magistrates must
have the means within call Ghe armv) Of
protecting the ballot and keeping the
peace. The United States must insure to
the people Of each state truly republican
form of government. No grants will be
made for internal improvements in any
southern state where the equality of all
men before the law is not living, prac-
tcal fact. The other articles in the De

Irrepressihle Conflict.

There a spelling school at Centre Point School
House, a few nights ago. There fight the
spelling school. We received a somewhat vague ac-
count of it by grapevine telegraph. a young man
named Taught thought he could get away with a
young named Iearian. Iearian thought he
could just eat up Taught bood-raw. So notwitil-
standing the fact that there ladies and gentle
in the room these two WORTHLESS went to scratch
ing biting and gouging each other like couple of
felines. They fought in the house, they fought
through the door and they fought on the outside.
Here the melee became general and divers kicks and
blows contributed by the enthusiastic bystand-
ers. Yearian went in on Taught and trying to
swallow him whole. Taught hungry, and was
trying to eat square meal off of Yearian. There
seemed no hope of parting them, and they would
haps have been fighting until this time, had not a
thoughtful man in the crowd edged his way up close
to the combatants and yelled '''nuff! nuffr' At the
sound of this each fighter thought he had whipped
the other, and willing to ''let up The parties
brought before Squire McClung, and find few
cents each Seriously, now, isn't there room in all
Lick Township for these young bucks to fight, with
out getting up row at public meeting? Why didn't
Taught catch Yearian out and fill him full of buck
shot? Why didn't Yearfan catch Taught out and
stick him full of bowie-knives?

Last weeks Portsmouth Blade con-
tanned a sensational article setting forth
that Yancey Lynch, ex-Deputy Sheriff of
this county, had been in Portsmouth
looking after his wife, who had run off
with a man from Vanceburg, Ky.
Mr.. Lynch assures us that there is not
word of truth in the statement, further
than that he was in Portsmouth. He
was, at the time, looking after witnesses
who were wanted in Court at this point,
and, from what we can learn, Mrs. Lynch
was at home at the time the Blade dis
covered her in Portsmouth. If the arti-
Gle in the Blade We're true, Mr.. Lynch
would have the sympathy Of the entire
community. If it is false, as claimed by
Mr.. Lynch, he should make it exceedingly
hot for the Blade man.
