Death OF u yirginian I'm North Caro-
tReidsyille Weekly.

Mr.. Pleasant Black was perhaps the old
est man of his day in Rockingham county,
and but few men have lived in the county
whose career was more marked. For more
than sixty years he was a prominent mer.
chant in Madison, and, with an energy and
enterprise rarely equaled, he was closely
identified with the business OF oil that re.
gion. We believe he was native OF Hall
fax county, Va. but came to this county
more than seventyyears ago. He died the
23d ultlmo, maintaining 10 the last his strong
and decided characteristics, and he leaves 3
vacuum In Madison society that will not b'
soon filed.

politics aside, for the time being,

All we now require to make us a

I Mr.. James johnson, a native
of Columbia District, s. c., and a
citizen of North Louisiana for the
past forty years, died at his resi-
dence, about s miles north of this
place, in Webster parish, on the Goth
ult.; aged 76 years, 8 months and %
days. Mr.. johnson was, for many
years, a member of Bellevue Lodge,
F. and A. Masons, and was always
highly esteemed by his brethren and
acquaintances for his just and up
right conduct. There was nothing
of the superficial or gilt-edge order
about James Johnson-he was an
unpretentious, honest, law-abiding,
hard-working and debt-paying citi-

Miss PARLoAs NEW Cook Book, Guide to
Marketing and Cooking, by Maria Parloa,
principal Of the School Of Cooking in Boston,
etc. Boston: Estes & Lauriat 1891 81 so.
Miss ParlOa's New Cook Book is excellent
in many respects; the directions for the selec.
tion Of good cuts Of meat, the best groceries
and freshest vegetables, their uses, and the
different ways of preparing them, are 80 clear
as to leave no doubt in the minds of the most
inexperienced. Especial attention has been
given to soups, salads, entries and desserts,
while only few pages are devoted to meats
and vegetables in these few pages, however,
are given all the most approved methods of
cooking the latter, and after reading the direc.
tions under the various heads, "Boiling, ,""Ba.
king" "Broiling," ETC., it would be almost inn
possible for the reader not to know how to boil,
bake, or broil almost anything
Some of the recipes are probably too extrav.
agant for the average family, but there are
so many hints given upon the advantageous
uses Of odds and ends, and how to make things
go as far as they can, that by needing them,
most housekeepers would save enough to en-
able them to prepare the more elaborate dish
es. Miss Parloa has made praiseworthy effort
to Danish heavy pies and puddings, BY the
substitution of many light, wholesome and de
licious dishes. The illustrations are very good
and will prove great help. while the general
make up of the book, even to the printing and
bihdlng, Is attractive as well as durable.

prosperity OF the country must stimulate pro-

cy OF political pOweT will be toward corruption
and despotism, as i5 ever is when the people
are diverted from the stern criticism of AN
thOrity by peace and plenty.
The TINES will be in the future, as it has
been In the past, absolutely independent of DO.

TO babble about party men and party measures;
to excuse the public jobber and the demagogue.
to suppress, pervert or deny the truth when
party interests demand it, and to lavish the
regulation praise of the servant to the m .ster:
but the growing intelligence of the age daily
multiplies the readers of the independent
newspaper, and the journals which best reflect
the rapidly increasing Independence of the
people will be the great American journals of
the future.

a man would keep a daily record Of

much surprised as we'll as mortified

The art Of forgetting is a blessed

~ Plenty of rainfall last week.
The cotton chopping season is here,
and farmers are busy. Corn crops
are looking in good, growing order,
but owing to the backwardness OF
the corn, the farmers find both their
corn and cotton crops requiring
work at the same time; hence many
crops are getting in the grass.
