LOCAL PAPERS.

A large proportion of the people
do nothing to support their local pa
pers, yet reap the benefit every day
of the editors work. A man will
say, "Advertising does not pay in
business" and yet the fact ia, that
the town in which he does business
would be unknown, the railroad over
which he ships bis goods would be
unbuilt, and he himself would be un-
heard of, if it were not for the news
paper, which he says does him no
good.
The local paper is of advantage to
every man in the community, and
when a man refuses to contribute to
the support of the paper on the
ground that it "does him no good,''
he might just as we'll refuse to pay
his taxes for the support of the
courtq and the police force, on the
ground that he never breaks the law
and does not need any officers. -
There are men who believe them>
selves to be honest and pious, who
are doing business in every ccmmu>
nifty, and every day appropriating to
their own use the fruits of other
mems labors by reaping the bene fit
of the newspaper without contribu-
ting cent to its support. Too much
credit cannot be given the weekly
paper for the work it has done and ia
still doing for the benefit of this

THE UsURY QUESTION. Senator
Halves perfected and passed bill on
the usury question which makes
some important changes. The max
imum charged is still fixed by law
at s per cent, but under the new
bill the lender bas the right to
charge Whatever rate the borrower
agrees upon, and can collect the
same If the borrower does not sp.
peal to the law against paying. If
this lie done the lender is mulct only.
for the surplus of the interest above
S per cent. and not for the entire
interest, as under the present law. -
1t sIso becomes incumbent upon the
borrower to show that the lender
has violated the law, and it does not
devolve upon the lender to shoulder
the burden of proof as under the
present law.--Atla',tG Constitution.

CORNERS.

Corners in every article of mer-
chandise has became monotonously
common. They have now corners
in wheat, in corn and in bacon, oats
barley and rye, and in fact the world
seems to be cOrnered. 1t is now
difficult to tind anything that is not
cornered in some way or other
The corners are not confined to any
locality or class { people, but in the
United States every branch of bust
ness is rapidly being blocked by
monied combinations and sharp
spectators. 10 consequence of
these corners prices have gone up to
enormous proportions. Where the
end of II ell will be it lies not in the
power of man to tell. 1t is predic
ted by some of the wiseacres that
before the show is over corn will sell
for Sl.50 per bushel, meat 20 cents
per pound, -four $1,000 to So 90
per barrel, and SO 90 through the
list.
Under the present status of things
it is utterly impossible to check the
progress of the upward tendency of
prices, and the country 10 at the
mercy of the money sharks aud
spectators. 1t is in the power of
the South, however, to make itself
self sustaining if it wills to be SO, but
rigid economy must be practiced,
farmers must live at home them
selves and in measure support the
mechanics and laboring classes 10
other pursuits. Griffin Sun.

One respect in which the next
President pro tempore of the Senate
will fare better than his predecessor
in that position will be 10 the matter
of salary. Ordinarily this officer
receives no compensation additional
to his pay as Senator. But when>
ever there is 10 Vice President the
President of the Senate is entitled by
the act of August 10, 1886, to the
compensation provided by law for the
Vice President. This is $4,000

daughter of John Holmes, aged
fourteen, and Dickey Holmes, bis son
aged five, went about to gather coal.

Jumped 10 to save him. She got
him out, but not before his body was
burned almost to a crisp, and her
Own clothing caught fire and she was
frightfully burned, her cries brought
the miners to her assistance. The
boy died shortly after the accident,
and it was believed the girl could
not live.

WHAT rs HOME "A home is q
place where character is formed,
where educstion goes on. and where
people are impressed for time and
eternity. 1t is a place to DO happy
in, and to start out for all good, hon.
est and earnest living Very great
is our responsibility who is queen Of
this great kingdom. To very i'm
portant extent she makes or mars its
completeness. A fretful, fault-6nder,
narrow, incapable woman, in the
position of wife or mother, can cloud
home with misery, while still she
keeps house well, and scrubs floors
till they are white as snow. But the
recording angel, surveying her per-
formances, will surely say: "This
ought you to have done, and should
not have left the other uudone." In
home there should be liberty with
cut license, time for family inter
course, and space for personal solicit
tude, room for the entertainment of
guests, and the maintenance Of social
life, and over all tender, trustfnl,
daily atmosphere Of true devotion and
communion with God. AL this is
not wholly, but largely in the hands
of her who is the central thought and
the well-spring of pleasure 10 every
christian home, the dear, honored
aud gracious mother. Let nobody
who is housekeeper fear to magnify
her Office. 1t is very sacred one,
and if she performs its duties faith
fully, she is worthy Of no stioted
praise.
