THE marriage guilds have got to
go. In fact, they are going-going
like the Arab, who gently folds his
tent and silently steals away. Day
after day, in Nashville and Mem
phis where they most do congregate
some of them turn their pulseless
toes to the DAISIES, and now comes
the last big nail in their little cof-
fms. Assistant Acknowledgement
Freeman, of the POst-Office Depart.
ment, is taking steps to have them
debarred the mails. He has served
notice on one of these concerns in
Chattanooga, to show cause why it
shold not be debarred receiving
money orders and registered letters
because of its alleged fraudulent
character. This will be a test case.
These concerns, Tor the most part,
are frauds and it is only surprising
how they have succeeded so success
fully in quilting and robbing people.
They should have been broken up
long ago.

A Noble Act Of ReneGeencs.

Among, the harrassing cares, vex-
ations and unkindnesses that sur
round us in this mundane sphere of
tears,athere often comes to the sHr-
face an act of pure unselfishness, a
noble deed of .disinterested generos-
ity and kindness that reminds us
still that man. is truly the noblest
ofGod's creatures and that he is
often willing to extend to his crush
ed and broken fellow man not alone
theinadequate consolation contained
in expressions of true sympathy,
but also, that more substantial evil
dence Of friendship, material and
financial aid. These reflections
were forcibly brought to our mind
the other day when we learned of a
noble deed of benevolence on the
part of our popular and urbane
Deputy County Court clerk, Mr.. C.
H. Bailey. ti"ts 5.as
All of our readers are familiar
with the facts of the recent burglary
of the residence of our esteemed
County Court Clerk, Mr.. r. d!
Moseley, whereby that gentleman
was robbed of his gold watch, fifty
dollars in money, about fifteen hun
dred dollars in notes and checks,
his gold sleeve and collar buttons,
shirt studs, etc, etc. OF course, he
was little crest-fallen at so serious
loss. He appeared at his Office
next morning slightly blue, Not
"sky-blue," oh, no, he never was
that way, Charley listened with
sympathetic ear to the, tale of his
losses and his great big heart, al
ways so full of the milk of human
kindness, fairly bubbled up and
boiled over with grief and the briny
tears of sorrow coursed slowly
adown his alabaster cheeks. But
alas, what could he do, how could
he dispel his employers gloom. A
happy thought strikes him. Dom
ming his hat, he slips swiftly with
out the door and down town., He
returns In few moments, his face
beaming with happy smiles and
gently leading his employer into a
retired corner Charley is a modest
fellow he presented him with set
of fine rolled gold sleeve buttons, a
| gold collar button aud shirt studs
set with diamonds, and sum OF
tuOney. the amount we did, not
/ learn Mr.. M was completely
taken by surprise, overcome as it
were at the unlocked for generosity
and could only express his hearty
thanks and appreciation in few
broken sentences. 1t was very
neat and kindly piece of true be-
nevolence, but such acts are an
every day occurrence with Charley.
P. S. Just as we 60 to press we
learn that the sleeve buttons have
turned out to be oreide, the collar
button and studs brass, set with
paste. and the sum of money, a
nickel with a hole in it, but it cant
be helped, we have written the
above and as items are scarce it is
bound to go in. We must have
something to fill up on.

If there is any one lesson greater
than another taught by the recent
great Democratic tidal wave which
has swept over the whole country,
it is the fact that the people are no
longer prepared to believe the alb
surd stories of ruin and destruction
to come to the nation, if Democracy
is given the reins of government.
ApropOs of this, the Philadelphia
Press (Rep.) says, editorially: "The
Democratic party as scarecrow is
played out. Among other things
that this remarkable election has
proved is the fact that the voters Of
this country have got through
treating one of the two great pOliti-
cal parties of the day as an habituai
criminal"
