The OLD RED CENT.-As the '.old
red cent" has now passed by, like the
''old oaken bucket" its history is inter-
esting. The cent was first proposed by
Robert Morris, the great tinancier, and
it was named by Jefferson. 1t began
to appear in 1902. 1t bore the head Of
Washington on one side and thirteen
links on the other. The French Revo-
luton created a rage for French ideas
in America, which put on the cent, in-
stead of the head of Washington, the
head of the Goddess of Liberty "a
French Liberty, with neck thrust for
ward and flowing locks. The chain
on the first side was displaced by the
olive wreath Of peace; but the Franch
Liberty was short-lived, and so was
her portrait IN our cent. The head
that succeeded this was classic dame
with fillet around her hair, and her
fine Grecian features have been but
slightly altered since then.

During the very cold weather l was suf-
fering with Catarrh. My head and throat
ached so severely that was obliged to
give up everything and keep quiet. E!y's
Cream Balm was suggested. Within an
hour from the first application l felt re-

days was entirely cured.-[W. A. Downs,

The truth is, that most men want
knowledge, not for itself, but for the
superiority which knowledge coniers,
and the means they employ to secure
this superiority are as wrong as the
ultimate object, for no man can ever

mourned pitifully. After few min
utes she broke away from her friend
and began to dress saying, "George
will be here presently and / must
dress for him. My handsome George!
Do you know him? He is DOCTOR"
Such are a few of the sad scenes from
the beautiful girls wrecked life.
Thursday she was removed to Spring
Grove Hospital for the Insane. The
lover, it is said, when he heard Of the
illness of the lady weakened, and
wrote and renewed or offered to re-
new the engagement. 1t is said that
he came on to Baltimore, and here
learning of the madness of his sweet
heart he turned around and went
back to Pittsburgh. Information
from Spring Grove says that the lady
is no better than on tho day Of the
arrival. She is yet physically very
sick and with recovery in body the
doctor entertains some hope of a re-
covery in mind.

The moment there is danger ofim-
pairment of the mind from excessive
nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings of evil, a desire
for solitude. stunning and avoiding
company, vertigo and nervous debili-
ty, or when insanity has already
taken place, Peruna and Mandltn
would be implicitly relied on. But
it is never well to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss Of strength, soft
ness of the muscles, dim or weak
sight, peculiar expression Of the face
and eyes, coated tongue, with impair
ed digestion; or in others, certain
powers only are lost, while they are
otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these Peruna
and Maaalip should at once be
taken.

All business letters, as rule, de-
mand some kind of an answer, es-
pecially thoes containing money.
To neglect the reply to letter is an
insult, unless the letter failed to.con-
tain a stamp. In your reply, first
acknowledge the receipt of the letter
then the receipt of the money, what
ever it is. ~
Letters asking for money, or the
payment ola bill may be postponed
from time to time il necessary. No
man should reply to such letter
while angry. If the amount is small,
and you are moderately hot, wait two
days. IF the sum is large, and you
are tempted to write an insulting
letter, wait two weeks, or until you
have thoroughly cooled down.
Neat and beautiful penmanship is
very desirable in business correspon-
dcnce but it is most important that
you should not spell God with a lit
tie g, or Goldfish with a c. Ornamen-
tai penmanship is good, but it will
not take the cause off if you don't
know how to spell.
Read your letter over carefully af-
ter you have written it If you can; if
not send it with an apology about
the rush Of business.
In ordering goods state whether
you will remit soon or whether the
account should be placed in the re-
frigerator.

sents some of the advantages in
communication to the Pensacola Ad-
vance Gazette, as follows:
How newspaper pays can be at
once seen if you will give the matter
little thought. Suppose you take
a paper that is issued ONCE week
you get fifty-two copies year, each
containing the general current news
of the times. = &
The educational advantages to the
family derived from only weekly
paper, are cheaper and more impress
sive, useful and thorough, after, the
children have learned to read, thar
teaching in the ordinary schools. 1t
Is notable fact, and many eminent
examples might be referred to, That
families who are never without news
papers Become more intelligent and
more influential than those who go
through the ordinnry scholastic stnd-
les without the habit Of reading
newspapers. After reading, writing
and arithmetic are taught to a child,
il choice is to. be made between
school books and newspapers it
would be much more beneficial to
give it two or three well selected
newspapers to read than to confine it
to the text books of the school
Newspaper education is polytechnic
and universal, and is Indispensable
to a proper qualification for true
American citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money in
all business matters. Ifyou want to
sell or buy anything you will likely
see the current price in newspaper,
and you will also see what you might
want advertised; you don't have to
take hearsay and thus be subject to
mistakes and delays; you just turn
to your paper and know all you wish
to find out. You will often save the
subscription price Of your paper in
one single order for ten or twenty
dollars worth Of goods. You will
often find chances for good bargains
advertised that cannot be found in,
any other way. A few months since
a merchant of Pensacola advertised
to sell staple article of provisions
very cheap; there was quite a large
lot Of it and the consignor ordered it
sold at once. ] sent an order, and
when several Of my ncighbors in tho
country saw what I had gotten, and
told them the price, they said: If
you had told us we would also have
sent orders i said: IF you take
the papers you will always know in
time, without waiting for second
hand talk / saved the price of my
newspaper subscription in Pensacola
for one year by that single trans
action. Indeed 1T would be impossi-
bic to enumorate the amount Of PEI
cuniary benefits received from news
paper advertisements alone, to say
nothing Of the general information Of
vital Importance Contained in them.
journalism in all it's departments
is business that requires more self
sacrifice, more interchangeable labor,
more patience, endurance and nice
discrimination than any other profess
sion. There is no class of men that
furnish SO cheaply the indispensable
intelligence, wisdom and virtue, for
the support of the government and
welfare Of the people, as the WE'LL
trained and efficient journalist, Ev-
cry good citizen should take and
pay for a good paper; he owes it to
his country, his family and to his
selfrespect and sclf-interest. 81

division means . During our
stay here we were under obligations
to Mr.. Humboldt Yokum for favors
of a substantial nature. Mr.. Yokum
will return to the University this
fall and also bring young gentle
man with him.
The finest road in our whole jour
ney lay between Beverly and Valley
Head, and the drive over it was the
more enjoyed on account of the fine
day. During early morning dense
fog filed the valley. Yet before we
had set out the fog had risen from
the valley, but like an impenetrabIe
curtain it still hung upon the sides
of Cheat mountains on the. east and
Rich mountain on the west, thus linn
iting our vision to the stretch of the
valley dotted with farm houses, stack
yards of hay, oats and wheat, and
the blue arch overhead coming down
on either side till it was lost in the
rising fog on the mountain sides.
The whole valley bore the appearance
of some fairy scene. We had scarce
ly left Beverly when the rays of the
moring sun had penetrated the mist
overhanging the mountains, very
soon they rose and ere they had more
than half cleared away we were able
to discover the low gap in Rich noun
tain on our right in which is situa-
ted the Rich mountain battle field,
and fully fifty miles to the front and
south of us the Elk mountains. Here
and there along the slopes Of Cheat
mountains, like little garden spots,
appear cattle ranches made by dead
ening and burning the dense forests.
Again and again during our delight
full drive up this beautiful, rich and
fertile valley with its fine farms and
elegant homes, we thought of the
happy Valley Of the Prince Of Abys-
synia that we read Of years ago.
From this happy valley, however, the
dwrllers seek no exit.
One more days drive from Valley
Head across Point mountain and we
are at Webster Spring. 1t the worst
road | ever drove over. and ] prefer
not to describe it or rather not to at
tempt it if / conld do so.
Grass everywhere along our jour
ney looks well and the hay crop is
very large. Corn in Barbour and
Randolph will not be much over half
crop. Mr.. J. H. Hall Of Mingo
Flats. who runs a threshing machine,
gave me the amounts Of 81 stack
yards, wheat, which he has threshcd.
They will show what a slim wheat
crop there is in Randolph. They
are as follows: 7, 2, II, s, 60, 16, %,
26, 40, 20, 10, IL, 81, II, 80, 43, 80,
90, 90, 81, "a, 81, %, 26. s, 80, Z. 1t
will be seen that these do not aver
age much over twenty bushels to the
farm. The farm that threshed sixty
bushels, last year threshed 300 bush
els. And these were threshed on the
best farms in the county. Next week
I will send you something from the
Springs. ~
