Country Against TONVn.

The following is taken from Maj.
Sykes Fayetteville speech and has
much in it that would be well to
heed.
am aware that some men at
tempt to create prejudice against
the town people in the minds of the
farmers and other citizens of the
country. Is not this very narrow
and contracted policy, and does it
not indicate a shallow mind ? How
are the interests of the town and
country antagonistic? When the
country prospers, when its crops are
good and its production increases,
the town is benefited. When the
town prospers, when its trade and
business increase, it is able to pay
the farmer more for his products
and to sell him what he has to buy
at cheaper rates. Again, as the
town grows in wealth and taxable
property it pays a greater proportion
of the taxes of the country which
go to build bridges or make other
improvements in various portions
of the country. In addition, the
town pays for its own streets and
other Improvements which the
country people enjoy in common
with the citizens of town. AS the
town grows and increases in popu-
latiOn and wealth, the value of land
in the country increases. Their in
terests are identical +; they are Sia-
meSe twins in this respect; you can
not separate the one from the other.
Opposition between the country and
the town is as unnatural and as un-
wise as antagonism between Il man
and his wife, which unfortunately
sometimes occurs. The man who
would attempt to get up this feeling
is the friend of neither and the enc
my of both. Ii is small order of
demagogism which sensible men
both in the country and in town
should look upon with loathing and
disgust. 1t Injuries all and benefits
no one. 1t is the outgrowth of ig-
norance or of something worse.
Large cities have their evils, but
they generally affect their own cit
iZens more than others, and | am
not speaking of large cities, but of
our own country towns which are
not in much danger of becoming
cities of much magnitude. The
country has its advantages and its
uses :. the town has its advantages
and its uses. One should not claim,
and does not possess, preference
over the other, but as their interests
are identical there should be the
utmost harmony and good feeling
between them, free from small pref
udices and little chickering's.

A Nuisance.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: Allow me
to call the attention of the city au-
thOrities to a practice which is CIV
ing pedestrians great inconveni-
ence; it is this, on Franklin street,
about the doors and show windows
of the business houses there are con-
gregated at all hours set of idle,
lOafing colored young men, from
ten to twenty years of age. And
they collect in such numbers as to
entirely obstruct the sidewalks, and
each is armed with some instru-
ment of annOyance-mOstly wagon
whips, with goodly number of
sticks of various shapes and sizes.
And when thus assembled they are
never quiet, but always in a romp
or muss, popping their whips, bran
dishing their sticks, boxing, wres-
tling &C., making it hazardous, if
not impossible for ladies to pass the
streets or enter store.
All this could be prevented with
a little attention on the part of the
police. The rights of the citizens
in city are, or should be enjoyed
by each and all, and not monopo-
lized by one class to the exclusion
of another. If these lazy, loatfng
vagabonds will not work they
should at least be made to divide
space with those who do endeavor
to procure a living by honest in
dustry.
There is no excuse that can be
made for permitting such scenes
as daily occur upon our principle
streets and around the doors of the
business houses in the city.
And while am on this subject l
will mention one other matter that
should be corrected, it is this. Pc
destrians while walking on the
streets seem to wage a ceaseless con-
test as to which shall have choice of
sides of the pavement, both parties
struggling for the inner side of the
pavement, now this should not be.
By common consent and a de-
cent respect for the rights of others,
we see in other cities the people
adopt rules by which all can be ac-
commodated, and one of these rules
is, that when walking on the streets
every two persons meeting pass to
the right of each other, and in this
way all confusion is avoided and
every one accommodated. The
population of our city has increased
so as to make it necessary to adopt
some such rules. / hope, Mr.. Edit
or, you will urge these matters up
on our city authorities until they
see and feel their importance and
take some steps to rid the people of
this disgraceful nuisance.

The value of Local Papers.

Every honest rejecting mind
knows that the local newspaper
adds much to the general wealth
and prosperity of the place, as well
as increases the reputation of
the town abroad. IL benefits all
who have business in the place,
enhances the value of property, be-
sides being public convenience,
even if not conducted in the interest
of the ruling political power. Its
columns are not filled with brilliant
editorials, still it benefits you every
way. 1t increases trade, II cautions
against imposition, it saves you
from loss, ii warns you OF danger, IL
points out different advantages and
increases your profits. Now, If you
want such paper you must support
it by advertising your business in
it; assist in increasing its circula-
tion by getting neighbors TO sub
scribe for il. If you want such
paper You must not consider IL an
act of charity to support it, but as
a means to increase your wealth as
well as that of the place in which
you live ;therefore, support it by
advertising and subscribing and
paying for it.

A Terrible Hail storm.

A Dallas, Texas, dispatch of the
18th inst, gives the particulars of
terrific hail storm which burst on
that city at 5 P. NJ, to-day. 1t came
up so unexpectedly as to cause in
tense astonishment, as up to few
minutes previous for fully three
hours the sun had been shining
brightly.
The fall of hail was preceded by
an APPALLING roar, accompanied by
dense masses of black clouds and
powerful wind. No such hailstones
were ever seen in thissection. They
ranged from the size of WalnutS to
base balls, and many still larger
ones were picked up, measuring
over ten inches in circumference.
The falling of the stones sounded
like the discharge of firearms, and
teams ran away in the streets and
many persons were knocked down
and dangerously injured. The dam
age to buildings in Dallas will ag-
gregate thousands of dollars. There
IS not one-tenth enough glass in the
city TO repair the broken windows
and doors, as the north side of near
ly every building was injured.
Similar reports come from the
surrounding towns. The course of
the storm was from the northwest
to the southeast, and extended west
to Weatherford and east to TeXar-
kama. Great damage was done to
grain and fruit. The ground under
peach, plum and pear trees is liter
ally covered with the young crop.
Reports from Denton and Terrell
say that those places suffered severe
ly, but the lateness of the hour and
the disturbed condition of affairs
prevent the gathering of details.
AT Denton 5, ,G'0 head ofcattle stam-
peded, causing great CONSERVATION.
1t is feared tomorrow will bring
reports of much loss of human life
and stock in the pathway of the
storm. The storm caused the post
ponement of the Jockey Club races
until tomorrow.

The Mother of Forty.Four Child

If the Great Napoleon's famous
definition of superlative female ex-
eellence may be accepted as correct,
Dr. Mary Austin Is unquestionabiy
the most admirable woman in
France. This lady has Just COM
pieted her thirty-third year of we'd
ded life, during which period she
has presented her husband with no
fewer than forty-four pledges Of her
wifely affection. In the spring of
1888, four years after her marriage,
Mary Austin nee Kind, passed her
final examination at the medical col
lege of Orleans, and obtained diple-
mas authorizing her TO practice in
both branches OF her profession. AZ
soon rs the Franco-Prussian war
broke out she Joined the army of the
Union with her husband, and the
prolific pair served with extraordi-
nary distinction throughout the four
years struggle-Dr. Austin i'm her
surgical capacity and Colonel Austin
as an active militant. The former
whilst attending to the hurts Of her
comrades under fire, was thrice
wounded in action-the latter five
times. AT the conclusion of the war,
the valiant doctor, having lost-her
left eye in the service of her coun-
try, but ir other respects none the
worse for her injuries and fatigues,
returned to her private practice COW
cred with glory and in the enjoy
ment of a staff officers pension.
Since then she has lived in peace
and honor, the pride Of her fellow
citizens, and indefatigable in her
endeaYers to reder her warrior lord
the happiest of fathers.-BoStoR

Few Questions For the Mayor

EDITOR CHRONICLE: = What
right has the Board to refuse to
grade and metal Commerce street,
from 7th to 9th street, (the only di-
rect route to the depot and the only
street the city has a deed toy with
out the property holders on said
street will give twelve feet more
front and straighten said street,
bringing it out on the hill above
the depot, instead of at depot as at
present; and doing great damage
to property on said street?
What benefit would there be in
widening said street from 7th to 9th
to so feet, when it is only from 80
to 40 feet wide from 7th to the
river?
Had the depot been located at the
freight depot would the gentlemen
have considered it necessary to
widen straighten and make avenues
of streets leading to it?
How long is the travelling public
and those doing business at the de-
pot to be forced to go nearly half a
mile further to get there, when the
direct distance from the Square to
new depot is not more than two
minutes longer walk than to the
old one?
Are not the property holders on
said street the ones to decide wheth-
er they want said street widened
and Strengthened or not?
What has become of the promise
of the city to improve said street if
the property holders would agree to
have it originally opened?
What return are they receiving
for taxes paid on property ON said

Capt. Fred Norman, who crossed
the Atlanticin the Little Western the
smallest vessel that ever made the
passage, informs the New York Sun
that he proposes to perform the feat
of rowing across the Atlantic. "I
will have" says he "a boat built
under my own supervision, twelve
feet long, four feet wide, and from
two to two and one-half feet deep,
partly covered fore and aft. / will
take floating sea anchor, which
will keep the boats head to the wind

BILL ARP thus explains the pro-
tective tariff: zone time there was
an old man who had ten children,
and one of the boys was a shoe ma
ker, and the old man said that all
the other children should buy their
shoes of Bob at $2a pair to encourage
him and To keep the money in the
family. Every day there was an
outsider come knocking at the out
side gate with just as good shoes at
dollar IA pair, but still they had to
buy from Bob, and Bob got rich off
his own kinsfolks, and that's the
way with the tariff. 1t is IA good
thing for Bob, but mighty hard on

A CERTAIN degree Of moisture
is necessary for the Matching Of eggs.
The biddy which hides her nest
away in some secluded spot on the
ground usually comes out with a
fine brood Of chickens, while the
one which had her nest made high
up from the ground in some dry
place very likely failed to hatch the
most of her eggs. Generally the
hen will hatch the most Of her eggs
when her nest Is placed upon the
ground. If il is not practicable to
build the nest upon the ground, it Is
advisable, in order to maintain
certain degree of moisture, to place
a few shOvelfuls OF earth in a box
and place the nest upon that. When
nests are made of straw and placed
upon the floor the air circulates
throughout the nest soTapidly that
the eggs become too dry to hatch

HORACE GREELEY wasn't very
cranky when he wrote this: "If
you want to keep a town from
thriving, don't erect any more
buildings than you can conveniently
occupy yourself. II you should ac-
cidently have an empty building
and any one should want TO rent it
ask three times the value OF il.
Demand a Shylock price for every
foot of ground that God has given
you stewardship over Turn cold
shoulder to every mechanic and
business man who seeks to make IA
home with you. Look at every new
conner witha scowl. Run down the
work of new workmen. Go abroad
for wares rather than seek to do bus
mess i'm your midst. Fail to adver-
tise, or in any way support your
newspaper, so that people abroad
may not know whether business Is
going on in that town or not. Wrap
yourself within yourself with coat
of impervious selfishness. There is
no more effectual way to retard the
growth of town than actions like
those enumerated"

To Keep Eggs Fresh: Smear the
eggs lightly with fresh lard, using

the small ends down. IL IL well to
put some salt in the bottom Of the
Jar, just enough to hold the first lay

not penetrate the shell. Eggs have
been kept in good condition this way

A NAME IN THE SAND.

BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.
Along walked the ocean sand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
l stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, year and day
As onward from the post haste,
One lingering look behind cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my line away.
And so, me thought, twill quickly be
With every mark on earth with me;
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where l have trod the sandy shore
OF time, and been to be no more
OF me, my day, the name bore,
To leave no tract or trace.
And yet, with Him who counts the sand
And holds the water in his hands,
/ know a lasting record stands,
Inscribed against my name;
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this waking soul has thought,
And from these fieeting moments caught
For glory or for fame.
