Labor.

AS remarked by Hon. Asa Faulkner
a few days ago, Labor is the basis Of
all our wealth." Our agricultural,
manufacturing, mining, mechanical,
and mercantile interests are supported
by labor, common and skilled. The
wealth of communities, States and Ma.
tons depends largely on the way labor
is managed and utilized. Mr.. Faux
ner says no community or people can
become really prosperous until they
can give constant and profitable en-
ployment to, the laboring classes. "ln
no way" said Mr.. Faulkner, "can this
be done more efiectuolly than by es-
tablishing manufactures in. our own
midst, and throughout the South, and
especially in Tennessee"
Mr.. Faukners idea is, that by estab-
fishing manufactures we can furnish
employment to the poorer classes of our
people, male and female, who have no
farms or regular employment to sup
port themselves. Factories are local
blessing as well as profitable to every
community. The South, and especi-
ally Tennessee, has all the natural ad.
vautages for manufacturing. We have
the finest water power to be found,
with an abundance of the raw material
such as iron, coal, timber, cotton, wool,
hides and other raw material at hand
not only to furnish our own large and
rapidly increasing population, but
enough to give employment to thou
sands of the honest laborers from the
densely populated cities of the East.
Not pound of the great staple, cotton,
should he sent to the East or Europe.
1t should all be manufactured at home
and the profits thereof kept at home.
So with our vast forests of timber.
Not a foot of our fine walnut, white
oak, ash, hickory, and other valuable
varieties of timber should be sent away
until it is manufactured into furniture
wagons, plows, sewing machines, reap
ers, mowers, and other farm implements
If our brethren of the East and Yves
can buy our timber and pay the enor
nous freights required to haul it t.
their factories and shops and grow ricl
on the profits, would it not pay us still
better to manufacture all these thing
at home? Not only should we manu-
facture all our cotton fabrics, our plows
wagons, reapers, mowers, threshers
and all other farm implements, but W,
should make our hats, boots, shoes
nails and everything else for which w
have the raw material at hand. VIVA
we want to do now is TO encourage on
own capitalists to invest their none,
in manufactures. Satisfy them that
will pay and they will invest freely
There is no reason why they shout
not. In addition to our fine waite
power and raw material at hand, W
have mild, pleasant climate, and
soil that will yield supplies sufficient 70
a dense population.
If Tennessee can only get her Stat
, debt question settled in such way as t
restore confidence, there will be n
trouble about capital. The defalc;
ton of Treasurer Polk is great publ
calamity, but a still greater would b
r for the present Legislature to fail t
! amicably settle the State debt.

With impure blood any disease may
become fatal. Look at the victim of
impure blood, no matter how caused,
whether by neglect Of bygienic princi-
pals, by iutemperance, by debauchery,
or by errors of diet, and consequent
diseases of the viscera! What sallow
skins, what disgusting pimples, how
leaden the hue of bis cheeks! There
is no destroyer of beauty, as we'll as of
health, so powerful as dirty blood,
blood loaded with impure particles or
eHete matter. Edward Wilder's Sar-
saparilla and Potash cures all these
like magic, A few doses Of it begins
the alternative functions on the skin,
and liver, and kidneys, and 10, what q
change The rete mlc0ssum becomes
clear, the scarfskin soft, the pimples
disappear, the leaden hue vanishes,
and beauty comes forth of ugliness.
This is the season for using it. Try a
few bottles of Edward Wilder's Sar.
saparilla and Potash, and thank him
for the marvellous remedy.

Bill Nye's Experience with Horn.

Gus
From the Detroit Free Press.
1 have made a small collection of wild
western things during the past seven
years, and have put them together, hop
ing some day when l get feeble to travel
with the aggregation and erect a large
monument Of kopecks for my executors,
administrators, and assigns forever,
Last fall / desired TO add to my rare col
lection a large hornets nest. | had an
embalmed tarahtula and her porcelain
lined rest aud / desired to add to these
tue gray and airy home of the hornet.
| procured one Of the large size after
cold weather and hung it in the cabin
by a string. l forgot about it until this
spring. When warm weather came
something reminded me Of it. 1 think
il was a hornet. He logged my memoir
in some way and called my attention 10
it. Memory is not located where [
thought it was. 1t seemed as though
wherever he touched me he awakened
a memory-a warm memory, with a red
place all around it.
Then some hornets came and began
10 rake up old personalities. / remem-
Der that one OF them lit on my upper
lip. He thought it was a rosebud.
when he went away 1t looked / K a
gladiola bulb. l wrapped a wet sheet
around it to take out the warmth and
reduce the swelling 80 that l could 20
through the folding doors and tell my
wife abont it. Hornets lit all over me
and walked around on my person. l
did not dare to scrape them off because
they are so sensitive. You have TO be
very guarded in your conduct toward a
hornet.
remember once while l was watching
the busy little hornet gathering honey
and June bugs from the bosom of a rose,
years ago., l stirred him up with a club,
more as a practical joke than anything
else, and be anne and lit in my sunny
hair-that was when l wore my own
hair-and he walked around through
my cleaning tresses quite a while, max
ing tracks as large as a watermelon all
over my head. If he hadn't run out of
tracks my head would have looked like
a load ofsummer ~squashes. remember
| had to thump my head against the
smoke house in order TO smash him,
and / had to comb him out afterwaTd
with a fine comb and wear a waste
paper basbst two weeks for a hat. Much
has been said OF the hornet, but he has
an odd, quaint way, after all, that is
forever new.

Our ll.tle village was considerably

Our little village was considerably
excited en- Thursday last over sen
sation Of which Benz Harris and Mrs
Chester Of R0seburg were the princi-
pals. Ii seems that Harris sent let
ter to Mrs Chester on Wednesday ask
ing her 10 shed the light of her ccun-
tenance upon him meath the pale moon
that evening. BY mistake tho lstter
fell into the horney hands OF Mr. Gies-
ter and the meeting did not occur as
advertised. But there was meeting
II the Chester family &C which Mr. G..
presided as speaker. 1t was said by
neighSors to have beon boistrous
meeting and its end was q mutual
agreement between the two sections
of the family to part company forever.
When the morning sun cast its hrst
rays over the village of Rofeburg
Thursday, MrS Chester packed her sar-
atoga and seated herself In hired
carriage and was driven so this place
where at one Of our leading hotsls she
met tue said Harris and received his
blessing. The couple Immediately got
their baggage checked for some distant
land where they could enjoy happiness
in each others bliss, and anxiousiy
waited for the six o'clock train to
carry them away.
The Sun was fast sinking below the
horizon when Mr. G.. with his beau
tious black mare stcpped in front OF
Justice Duties 5ffico. He had recon
silsred the action of tho Chester COM
mon council Of the night before and he
wanted an injunction served on the
flight Of Lila vivaciohs spouse. rs.
Old him that mutual separations were
not within the laws grasp. He then
proceeded In search Of Constable Bar
rett who et once went TO tho hotel and
finding Harris end Mrs Chester quietly
passing the few moments before train
time marehed them TO che Justice Office
When there Mr. Giester's early love
returned with renewed vigor and he
prevailed by promises OF lenity in
taking Mrs G.. back to his bosom.
Harris, one of the most dreary and
cru. he'd looking individuals that over
struck this place rushed for the station
and took the train FOX some foreign
land. The Chester family got in be-
hind tine black pacer and drove back
TO Rosebury amid the cheers of the ex-
cited crowd.
