WOoL.-The sudden advance in
the iron market has Il marked el-
feet on tho wool trade, causing it 10
advance rapidly in price. In view
Of speculation, buyers are taking
every opportunity to secure lots Of
wool from the farmers and wool
growers at very little advance on
last years clip, well knowing wool
will command from fifty cents per
pound and upward at home. A
great many wool growers not keep
ing themselves posted in regard to
prices ofwool. should be cautious,
and not sell ut present offers or
make any binding contracts for
this seasons clip, us there is every
prospect Of an unusually good mar
ket price being really higher than
anything that has been offered, and
the wool growers should have the
benefit Of the advance, US they in
cur all the expense and risk.

Literary Exercises at The Lfcdde-

Editor Democrat.
We had the pleasure, on last Fri
day evening, of attcnding'the open
meeting Of the Literary Exercises
held at the Academy Hall.
The evenings programme con-
sisted Of essays, compositions, dec
lamations, recitations and debates.
Our time being limited, we will
speak only of the last named sub.
ject.
The question, "Rrs"Ired, That
Chinese immigration should he
Prohibited. was cIoqllentIy and
lluently argued by Messrs. Brown
and Maxwell on the Affirmative
and Professors Lawson and Grip
pen Oh the negative
Messrs. ". W. Brannon, Andrew
Edmiston and Joseph II. Clifton
were selected from the audience US
judges, who, after the arguments
were concluded, decided the ques-
ton in favor of the negative, though
not unanimously.
Mr.. Brown, who first came forth,
acquitted himself admirably. His
speech was not long, but very
pointed. When he had produced
certain facts which no we'll knew
were "indisputable and undcnia-
ble," he left the floor, which was
soon occupied by Professor Law
son, who also handled the subject
eloqucntIy and with efficiency.
The ilIustrious Maxwell, Il ''loco-
motive in brcechcs," WAS the next
to mount the rostrum. II is Of
him We wish particularly TO speak,
for he is certainly deserving Of
much credit. The promise of his
life has early developed itself;
and We may add also that his ca
pacity for winning and securing
friends is also manifest. lie reads
and studies every opportunity.
Many youths rcad-but their read
ing may he dcsultory; without
any established, and perhaps with
no higher object than for amuse-
mcnt; but with him such is not
the case. lie is ambitious and
eagerly DESTROYS of knowledge, and
it appears that lie is not only any
ious to acquire knowledge, but also
anxious to difuse it, and we predict
for him i bright and happy future.
We are sorry to say that on this
OCCASION he was defeated; hut We
do not wonder at this when We IT,
member that he argued with such
a very experienced and learned n
man us Professor Crippen, WHO i'm
nlcdiutely succeeded him. The
Professor, on account of not being
prepared, was very brief in his re-
marks; but in his jOvial and witty
manner he produced some short
hand notes, and leaving the qies-
ten for the consideration of the
judges, he resigned the floor amid
the loud applause and laughter Of
the crowd.
The evening was enjoyably spent
by those present, but on account OF
the inclemency Of the weather tho
audience was not Immense.

A Word to Our Readers.

When you read of aremedy that will cure all
diseases. beware of it; but when you read OF
pure vegetable compound which claims to
cure only certain parts of the body, and
furnishes high proof that it does this, you can
safely try it and with the assurance that it
will help you. This is just what Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure does. 1t cures
and none others. 1t will not help the tooth
ache, ear-ache nor consumption, but it will.
put your body in a vigorous and healthy state
where you can enjoy life and appreciate IFS
good things. Try it. II. G. Kirk L Co.,

THE OLD SINNERs!-O of the mean
est tricks of the old sinners of the Democ-
racy, is an attempt to deceive the young
men with regard to the political complex
ion of the Union armies. Many young
men are voters, to-day, who have very
indistinct, if any, recollection of the
scenes and incidents of the war, and
many of them have not, perhaps, studied
the history of the war sufficiently to be-
come thoroughly conversant with all it's
features. Frequently the old mossbacks
will go about claiming that large ma
jority of the Union soldiers were Demo-
Gratis of the copperhead type. This is the
most coWardly insult that could be offered
to the brave men who survived the dam
gers and hardships of the war, or to the
memory of the honored dead. We ask
young men, generally to read the follow
ing, taken from the record of the soldier
vote in 1864, when the Democrats were
running a Union General. Cut it out and
paste it in your hats, and when you hear
a foul-mouthod rascal trying to disgrace
the Union soldiers by claiming that they
were copperheads, read it to him:
The soldier vote of Ohio, on Secretary
of State was, Smith, Republican, 32,S62
Armstrong, Democrat, 1907. The vote OF
the soldiers of Jackson county for Presi
dent was, Lincoln $50. Mcclellan 1O3
On the rebel side the soldiers were ALI
! Democrats.
