Mr.. j. w. Wel:ons, a thriving
young farmer of Johnston, was in town
last week, looking after the furnishings
OF q new residences. We are glad to
see our people improving. Every dol
lar spout in improving a farm provided
no debt be incurr.dl ADDS SI.50 to its
value and to the prosperity of the
State; bssids. doing a great deal to
bene it the family. For when people
live comfortably and intelligently at
home there il less temptation to wan
der else where. One rsa.on so many
boys and girls desert the country is be-
cause their homes are SO plain, cheer
less, and uncomfortable that they would
rather work for nothing in town than
earn good wages GA the farm. Parents
are apt to forget this. Having lived
in the old log or tor homestead ali
their lives, they cannot conceive why
their children should be so restless.
But they fail to consider that the world
has undergone great changes during the
past thirty years; and the advancement
IN Education, Invention, skill, and all
manner of personal knowledge is as a
matter of course reflected upon the
minus OF the Wlue awake rising genera
ton. Besides it is much easier for an
elderly person to be contented while
building up aud managing his own bus
mess, or his own property, than for a
youth to feel the same satisfaction In
working day after day, for small earn
ings, and without any ofthe enjoyments
and pleasures which young blood Graves,
ami which must b. enjoyed in youth, or
never at ALL If parents would take
more care to i'm improve and embeliish the
cid Country Homestead, supplying it
with the common comforts Of modern
times, and giving the children a plenty
OF newspapers, and other reading mat
ter there would be far fewer desertions
from the plow handle. Young men
flock to town not because they are lazy,
or ii ed of farm labor; but because they
feel that they have little chance to keen
up with the age, and hold their "
among the progressive and intelligent
people of the Nation, if they continue
to drag along in the secluded drudgery
of the average Southern farm.

try Sunday night ten years ago seven
Southern gentlemen, alter having been
dragged for 80 miles over rough noun
tain roads. from Rutherford u harlou.
chained together like wild beasts. were
thrust into a filthy iron cage about ok
feet in dimensions. without TODD, bed
dino. lights. or fire. A Federal solder
/ guarded the room door, and a Gordon OF
30 other bavonets surrounded the little
two story Jail, shutting of the approach
of some of the first citizens OF the
State. but admitting the horde OF seal
lawag Deputy Marshals,' who con

! outside Of the cage, gloatlng their eyes
with the sweet spectacle OF = Democrat
ic editor, and his gentlemanly 60 ldeS
! .hivering in irons, and helpless under
insults.
In those DAYS, there were many men
in all parts Of the State who dare not
call their souls their much less
avow anv sympathy for the persecuted
members of the white Brotherhood.
But the women of Marion, like the wo
men Of Orange, and A'amance, and
Rutherford. and Cleveland, knew that
the White Brothers were organized not

day by riding over the country arrest

and boasting Of their power as acting
DEPUTY United States Marshals.'
So, on that cherries Sabbath night,
as the seven white Brothers lay ~
the darkness, a lady came to the jail
with a large tray filled with food and
comfort for them. Much parley ensued
before she could induce the guard to
pass it in. Next morning her servant
brought another tray. And again and
again, during the ensuing fortnight Z;
although many other generous aud pa
triotic ladies of Marion insisted OF
sharing ''the pleasure of supplying
the strangers within their gates -

scenes, we hope to give them thanks
