RALPH WALDO EMERSON, the
great philosopher and poet, died at
his home, at Concord, Mass, Thurs
day, of last week, after a short ILL.,
ness of pneumonia. The world is
poorer by his death and mOurns his
irreparable loss, while history will
assign to him that high place
among Americans gifted sons to
which his splendid works and rare
genius justly entities him.

The Southside people are break
ing and slashing the face of the
earth to an extent perhaps never
before known, yes, the fields and
garden are literally torn into fin
ders. The corn is nearly all plant
ed, the wheat mostail headed out
and looks WE'LL. The gardens look
little pale from the few cold days
and frost we had. This of course
makes the women look little sad,
and then the gaps among the young
chickens which increases the sad
ness ; but they are not the only
ones who look sad over the gaping
chickens. | say the truth and lie
not whehI say that Il certain class
Of men are on the chicken side of
the question; modesty forbids spec
flying
This Is a scarce time of the year
in, the way of living. Scarce is
nothing new to some persons, they
know what you mean by it, Cous-
in Collin Roberts and myself con-
Guided to go fishing the other day.
Soon three trot lines were sunk in
the Cumberland river, but O, that
blasting east wind that blew the
fish away. Old fishermen say that
they will not bite when the wind is
from the east. We toiled all day
and caught nothing, but we caught
few that night. We are going to
try it again when the wind blows
from the south, then it blows the
bait into their mouths, SO Cousin
Collin says. This looks little like
poetry-nIouth and south but
am no poet. However, / feel a lit
tie touch of inspiration of what
might be called garden poetry, such
for instance:
The sweat fell fast from the brow of the
man,
! AS he worked with all his might;
The wife of the house still gave command
| And said he could rest at night.
This is a consolation. and it is a
good thing that night comes.
Tobacco plants are large enough
to set out. A few complain of the
bugs, but the plants are out of their
reach now. The people are striving
for large crop. ...#
Mrs. James Trotter is very low
with cancer on her face. She suf-
fers greatly, but bears it with Christ
ain patience.

Dor, is very sick with bilious at

Mrs. Emma DAILY, who has been

Still the offer is before us to accept
or reject.
IF we accept it, we viii have an
end to this internecine strife, which
for so long has vexed us in a thous-
and ways. If we reject the offer,
we invite Discussions and every
kind Of trouble in the future. And
these will not end with the next
canvass. They will constantly re-
cur. In 1884, in 1886, and on to
the end of the century. They will
still be with us and annoy and har-
rass Us, and the end of it will be
payment of the total sum. We sim
cerely hope the Legislature will ac-
cept the proposition, and If they do
the people will make Ii stand.

GREAT alarm is felt at Atlantic

Old and young have been attacked
by the diphtheria malady, and pub

that the disease may spread to Long
Branch, which is in the sauna school
district, by the holding of a public
funeral over child in Long Branch,
who had died with malignant scar

of health to issue warning that a
person dying with scarlet fever or
diphtheria must be privately in

IN looking through the house oil
Fox & Smith, we find they are well
prepared to furnish the farmers with
all the improved harvesting ma
chinery. We notice samples of the
w. y. Wood Irvine binder, the old
reliable chain rake reaper and new
iron mower. This firm has been
selling the Wood machines for IA
years, and have never had.reasOn to
change to other makers. They ex.
pect to sell three car loads of these
reapers this season. We also find
they have the Geese separator with
steam and horse power, and the
Three River Vibrators. They now
have car load of each. All these
machines are tirst-class and are well
known. We also noticed sulky hay
rakes, Studebaker wagons, and our
attention was especially directed to
new fertilizer which they are sell
ing, being made principally Of to-
bacco and lime. 1t will certainly
win favor. An Inspection of the
stock of this firm Will certainly pay
merchants, farmers and all others.
Their stock is varied and embraces
all lines of hardware and imple-
mentS.

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men decided at their meeting We'd
nesday night, to increase the school
tax from ten to fifteen cents. The
vote on this question stood four to
four, the Mayor casting the deefd-
ing vote. Now that the taxes are
to be raised to carry on these schools,
perhaps the Taxpayers would like
to see published full and complete
statement of just how much money
it does take to run them during the
scolastic year. The schools are Al
great success here and we are in
favor OF all necessary taxation to
MAINTAIN them, but it cannot be
disguised that there Is a belief
whether well-founded or not
among the Taxpayers that they
could be run on the former rate of
taxation. The School Commission
ers would justify themselves and
do the public Il duty if they will
show the necessity of increased tax
alton.
