Fraud.

Practicing fraud by advertising all
sorts of vile nostrums in the papers
ought to be stopped. How many per-
sons who re ID some article that seems
very startling and of interest, find to
their disgust that it is another patent
medicine advertisement. Not so when
Symphix, the Great Cough Remedy, is
mentioned. Thousands of persons who
have suffered with Coughs, Colds,
Whooping Cough, etc., read the old,
old story about Symphyx with renewed
pleasure. We can recommend il. Too
much cannot be said of its virtues.

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf makes
this sensible observation: "The geo.
graphical location Of the man has too
often defeated the best men before a
convention and foisted an inferior man
upon the party simply because he hap
pened to live in the proper State. In
this after capacity and fidelity Of the
man should control rather than his Ion
gitude and latitude. Nominate good
men and good Democrats and the Dem
Ocratic party will support them wher-
ever they come from, New England or
Texas"

ALBERT SIDNEY JoHNSToN's
EPITAPH.

The following is the epitaph oi
Albert Sidney Johnston, the rebel
leader, killed at Shiloh April 6,
1862. 1t is as follows:
Behind this stone is laid, for season,
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
A General in the Army of he..Confederate
States,
Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee,
On the sixth day OF April,
Eighteen hundred and sixty-two.
A man tried in many high offices
And critical enterprises,
AID found faithful in all;
His life was one long Sacrifice to Interest to
Conscience;
And even that life, on woful Sabbath,
Did he yield as Holocaust at his country's
Not wholly understood was he while he lived;
But, in his death, his Grestness stands con-
fessed in q Peoples tears.
Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not
wanting in that finer ambition which
makes men great and pure;
In his Honor-lmpregnabl
In his simplicity-Sublime;
No Country e'er had q truer Son-Eo cause
anobler Champion,
No People boldsr Defender-No Principle
purer Victim,
Than the dead Soldier
Who sleeps herel
The Cause tor which he perished is lost.
The People for whom he fought are crushed
The Hopes in which he trusted are shattered
The Flag he loved guides no more the charg-
ing lines;
But his fame, consigned to the Keeping Of
that Time which,
Happily, is not so much the Tomb OF Virtue
as its Shrine,
Shall in the years to come fire Modest Worth
to Noble Ends.
In honor, now, our Captain rests;
A bereaved People mourn him;
Three Cnmmonwealths proudly claim him ,
And history shall cherish him
Among those Choicer Spirits who, holding
their Conscience unmixed with blanc
have been in all Conjectu es true to them
selves, their People, and their God.

Florida Ship Canal.

The Florida Legislature passed the
bill Incorporating the Florida Ship
Canal Company. The company is
composed of capitalists in New
York, Virginia, Tennessee and the
eastern states, and preparations
were at once commenced for the
completion of the work. Mr.. Rolfe
S. Saunders, of the Southern Indus
tries, is one of the leaders in the enter
prise. He contributed largely to the
foundation of the company which
numbers among it's members such
men as Townsend, Cox, L. NJ. Daw-
son, leading New York bankers;
Gov. John c. Brown, Gov. Ben. F.
Butler, Senators Malone, and Jones
of Nevadah; Judge Fullerton, S. T..
Meyer, Micheal Jacobs, New York !,
Gen. Grover and Gov. Cameron of
Virginia; Col. R. F. Looney and S.
c. Neely of Memphis; Maj. Thos.
Peters, of Alabama, and others.
The canal will avoid the hazards
of the Florida pass, which costs
shippers millions of dollars every
yearbin wrecks, besides one per cent.
additional insurance, and from one
to two dollars per bale on cotton,
and fifteen to twenty cents per bush
el on grain shipped from the Missis-
sippi valley to Atlantic or foreign
ports, and greatly shortens the time
and sailing distance from all Allan
tic ports and Europe to and from
the ports of the Gulf and of the Car
ribean sea.

What a Crank Did.

Pulaski was thrown into wild
est alarm last Thursday by a coun-
tryman rushing aroand with q
check for $207 which he wanted
cashed. He evidently thought
Vanderbilt had branch -kinsfolk
here. The cause of it was the
closing of the banks because George
Washington was dead. He had
been dead 81 years but these cruel
monopolies had just got the news.
The man showed us the check and
we admired it very much. 1t was
beautiful specimen of lithography
and reflected much credit on the ge-
MUS and cheek of the man who:drew
it. He had no money in the bank
but he had heard that these giant
monopolies ought to be checked in
their damaging career and he con-
cluded to place a check on them.
He thought that you must apply
check to bank pretty much as you
put on porus plaster and it would
draw out the Inflammation. The
merchants on the east side Clipped
in and rented it one night to show
to drummers to strenthen their
credit. When the check was pre-
sented next morning the directors
met and decided to give the stran
ger what his hand called for, He
had heard that the banks were
closed on account of George Wash
ington and when he called next
morning he asked if George was in
and was extremely panied to hea
that he was dead and said he hadn t
learned of his illness. He asked if
the edge of the hatchet was injured.
For a hundred years people have
been sympathizing with the cher
ry tree and telling lies about
Georges moral rectitude, but no
one. ever thought of:.the health of the
hatchet before. The stranger
dropped tear of regret nickel for
the dececent's family, and as he
passed out he spit at one Of the
gold figures in the wallpaper and
hit it. The town has been quiet
since but the men who were asked
to cash the check are wearing plug
hats and have quit speaking to the |
common herd,

Pulled over the Breastworks

Gen. Geo. w. Gordon practiced
law in Pulaski several years after
the war and the story of his capture
at the battle of Franklin is gener-
ally believed here. Mr.. Chas. E.
Merrill, the Courier Journals Nash
vile correspondent, takes all the
romance out of the adventure in a
letter last Saturday:
Gen. Geo. w. Gordon of Mem
phis, who was the youngest briga-
dier in Hoods army, is visiting the
city. 1 recall how gayly he rode to
the Franklin slaughter, Nov. 30,
1864; of physique liJhe and spare,
his long, curly hair streaming in the
battle breeze, and young cheeks all
aglow with the thrilling inspiration
of the fight. When almost within
arms reach of the breastworks, Gen.
Cheatham ordered his briga1iers to
dismount and ''go in'' on foot; but
Gen. Gordon went in too far and
was captured. That night, when
he came up missing, Gen. Cheatham
was much concerned, whereupon one
of his staff expressed, a hope that 1t
might be no worse than capture.
81 expect that is it, musingly re-
piled the major general. SD be
willing to bet ten dollars some Id
big western yankee just reached out
and caught Gen. Gordon by that
Hong hair of his and lifted him right
over the bresst-works."
This jecular remark went through
the army till it got to be treated as
a serious fact, the light weight and
boyish mold of the captive conduc
ing to the credit Of the story.

DR.. r. L. G. White-Sir:-W Why,
when you call the gifted Paul H.
Hayne ''the first of Southern poets, -
do you use cap S in southern"
We relied upon you, doctor, to aid
in suppressing this indiscriminate
use of capital letters where they do
not belong. Proper nouns should
be capitalized but no other words,
unless for emphasis or because it is
the subject of'the article. We are
sincere in asking your opinion be-
cause the practice has grown into a
vice and an expression from you
would aid many of our pennyroyal
brethren in correcting themselves.

Early Vegetables.

| EDITOR RURAL WORLD: 1t Ii
now time for us to begin ork if w
expect to grow very early vegeta-
bles. l SOW the seeds of those kinds
from the first to the middle o1
March, in hot beds or the greer
house; or, if these are not to be had
a sunny window of the house will
do. i use boxes one foot wide by
two feet long and three inches deep
made of half-inch lumber. These
will fill with good soil and sow the
seed in drills, covering the seed
lightly.
For early cabbage 1 plant Jersey
Wakefield and Henderson's Early
Summer. And for second early,
Winnigstadt.
The Acme tomato is one of the
best early varieties. The are invaria-
BILE smooth, and free from rot. a
1 also SOW few pepper, egg plant
and caulifower seed. After the
seeds sown in the boxes are up about
three inches, transplant into other
boxes like those sown in, two inch
es apart each way. Sometimes l set
few in two inch pots. l have
successfully used old fruit and oys-
ter cans. These cut in two..with an
old chisel and then cut good sized
hole in the bottom of each, and
over this place q chip of wood.
Fill the half can with rich soil, and
in each place single plant. My
idea for this is that when ready for
planting out, 1 can place my thumb
on the chip and push the ball OF
earth out Rentire and not injure
the plant in the least. Pots are best,
but are not always at hand, while
the cans are a nuisance, and many
will be glad to be able to utilize
them in this way. Plants grown in
this way should not be kept too
moist, as it causes them to grow
tender and splndling. About every
ten days take a sharp case knife and
and draw it through the soil down
to the bottom of the box, between
each row of plants, both ways, of
those set in boxes. This cuts off all
the side roots and causes each plant
to grow a perfect mass of short, fine
roots, so essential for transplanting
Ten days before setting out in the
garden they should he hardened off
by gradually exposing them night
and day in open air.

A Card from Old Charley.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Your report OF
the Stock Convention last week was
accurate except that it omitted my
remarks. l am on intimate terms
with every prominent mud-hole in
Giles county, and having served my
time in the jockey-yard, feel my
ability to throw some light on the
question. You probably did not
hear me, for while 1 was speaking
my long cared friend, Knight Err
rant, persisted in keeping up lung
fusillade as if he were practicing
for an old folks concert. / said:
Mr.. Horseblockman-I may not
be able to trace my lineage back to
Bucephalus, nor have my ancestors
baked prophet, but there are few
saddle blankets in Giles that bear
not the stains of my rich blood.
No trans Mississippi horse tracks
in the sands of time claim parent
age of me, nor have I neighed DER
the vanished fences of the great
bluegrass region. Neigh, verify
Mine has been the yeoman's part.
While my friend Mamhrino was
champing the bit with silver rings,
and Blue John was waking the
echoes of the blue-g grass valleys with
his cele-bray ted songs, and even
you, Mr.. Chairman, proud of your
rich Norman blood which so well
fits you to occupy the stand to-day,
may have been making tracks in
the rich loan of the western prairies
that looked like buffalo wallows, l
have been cantering through the
fathomless lanes and jogging up
the precipitous hills and wading
through the bogs and pits of slush
and bathing my fetlocks in Silurian
mud. My wasted life appeals in
vain, for if it could be heard, the
rocks and hills their lasting silence
would break and hurl themselves
into these yawning abysses. My
projecting bones remind me that
time flies, and / am also frequently
reminded of horse flies, and if / do
not soon get relief;I feel that 1 will
be caught out on the fly. Many's
the time 1 would feel my blood and
proudly arch my neck, now grown
stiff with acting as a balance-pole,
as I've heard my owner demand
forty cents boot between me and
another of my brother travellers on
the road to the silent bone-yard.
And as my new master would hang
his hat on my hip bone and straddle
my tenderest sore and ride me in
John Gilpin style through the deep
and rugged recesses of our boasted
highways, my soul cried out in
agony and i wished 1 was down
with the bots, spawned and fstu-
laed,. that might never again take
such a bridle-tour. L am done
the fact is l am over-done, my goose
is cooked, and / am blossoming for
the sweet rll-see-you-again, but 1
feel that the dark, dismal road
through the valley of the shadow is
an Appian way beside those we have
in Giles"

"It is laudable ambition to be a

good lawyer implies gentleman
and true lawyer rarely fails to leave
benefcent impress upon the com

be this, it requires earnest, active de

means of success, without it but
few succeed. Even genius and high
