Kokomo (Ind.) Dispatch.
At 9 O'Clock last night by Rev. @.
G. Hudson, 1. Newton Smithson,
of Pulaski, Tenn, and Miss Lulu
Harrison, of this city, were united
in marriage, the NJ. E. church be-
ing well filled with ardent friends
and well -wishers. The ceremonies
were beautiful and impressive, and
the fair bride never looked so
lovely in all her life. To the
nuptials four hundred guests had
been invited and none but card
holders were admitted, thus making
the marriage as private and unos-
tentatious as if it had been sol
emnized at the home of the bride.
The Col. T. j. Harrison Post of the
@. A. R.-named after the father of
the bride, and of which she is an
adopted member-attended in a
body, thus honoring to the last de-
gree their f'daughter of the regl-
ment." The bride was attired in a
cream satin robe and wore the con-
ventional orange blossoms and
tube-roses. Charles NJ. Cooper and
his sister Jennie, of indianapolis,
remained by the side of the bridal
pair. After the ceremonies of the
nuptials had been celebrated, the
welded pair repaired 10 the home
of the brides mother, on West Syca-
more street, where they received
their friends until l o'clock this
morning when they took the train
for their future home at Pulaski.
To the reception no invitations had
been issued, and all her friends
were at liberty to call-which they
did in great numbers. 1t was near
Pulaski that Col. Harrison, father
of the bride, died number Of years
ago, and it was while visiting
friends here that Mr.. Smit hson and
Miss Harrison first met.
Mr.. Smithson comes from an old,
wealthy and aristocratic Tennessee
family. There are several brothers
and all are wealthy and influential
citizens. They are planters and
mill owners. The bridegroom is
quite young, scarcely past his ma
jority, is intelligent, well educated,
ana manly. he is handsome, large.
and bears himself with becoming
dignity.
OF the bride we cannot say too
much. She is handsome, gentle,
and lovable to the highest degree.
She is universally popular because
of her goodness and sweetness of

agricultural classes Of the south be
made as prosperous as they should
be, in view of their superior advan-
tages? To this we believe that we
have already given the answer in
saying that it can only be done by
building up diversified industries all
over the south. None can deny
that it would vastly improve the
condition of the southern farmers,
if they could devote their attention
more to diversified agriculture, and
always find a good and profitable
market for all their products. This
would relieve every branch of bust
ness in the south from the incubus
of heavy debts and long credits; it
would encourage education, would
attract immigration and gradually
the numerical preponderance of ne
groes over whites in many sections
would be overcome, which all who
know the negro must admit would
certainly be to his advantage as well
as to the whites. If these things
are true and we feel sure they are,
how much does it behoove the peo-
pie and the press of the south to en-
courage by all possible means the
development Of the industrial inter
ests OF that section?-Manufactur-
ers Record.

Prosperity Of Farmers Dependent
Upon Manufactures.

So far as we are concerned, we
desire to see the great farming in
terests and the laboriDg classes of
Georgia prosper. We have more
interest in them than in the manu-
featuring nterestS.-Barnesville, Ga.
Gazette.
Will the Gazette please tell a
waiting world how it is possible for
the farming interests and the labor
ing classes to prosper unless manu-
factures thrive? We believe that
all history teaches that no strictly
agricultural county, in which manu-
factures do not exist, can ever be
permanently prosperous. One of
the greatest-if not the greatest
needs of the south to day is a larg-
er proportion of non-agricultural
workers IN the population. With
so small percentage of the indus
taial classes, as compared with the
numbers of agricultural laborers as
at present, southern farmers have
but little inducement to do aught
else than keep on in the same old
way of raising cotton only; there is
no encouragement for them to i'm
prove and enlarge their orchards, or
to give increased attention to rails
ing vegetables, to dairying, or to the
poultry yard, for they will find but
little if any demand for such pro-
ducts, and, if they sell them at all,
it can only be done at ruinously low
figures. Build up all over the south
manufacturing enterprises, large and
small, employing their tens and
hundreds of thousands of food GUS
tom ers, as against the over supply
Of food producers and there will
very soon be change in the condi-
tion of southern farmers. They will
no longer find cotton their only
money crop, and thus be kept in |
bondage to all-cotton system, but
they will always find q ready market |
at good prices for all the varied pro-
ducts that southern soil can produce
and instead of handling money only
once 8 year-when their cotton is
sold-they will be always selling
something and thus always be re-
ceiving money, even though it comes
but few dollars at time. It can
not be too often repeated that the
disfranchisement of the farmers Of
the south from the burdens under
which they now labor can only be 1
secured through the building up of I
the manufacturing, mining and rail
road interests of that section. AS
vital as the problem of the negroes
future is to the south-a problem
that may well engage the most earn
est attention of the ablest states
men-there is matter of still vast |
er importance; in fact, it overshad- I
ows all other questions concerning
the south, for N its correct solution
will be found an answer to all the
other questions that present them
selves to the business men and the |
statesmen of the south; the most |
important matter is: How can the |

THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Man cannot draw water from an empty well,
Or trace the stories that gossips tell,
Or gather the sounds of a pealing bell.
Man never can stop the billow's roar,
Nor chain the winds till they blow no more,
Nor drive true love from a maiden's door.
Man cannot o'ertake q feeting lie,
Change his wheat to field of rye,
Or call back years that have long gone by.
Man cannot q cruel word recall,
Fetter thought, be it great or small,
Or honey extract from drop of gall.
Man never can bribe old Father Time,
Gain the height Of peak that he cannot
climb,
Or trust the hand that hath done q crime.
Man never can backward turn the tide,
Or count the stars that are scattered wide,
Or find in a fool a trusiy guide.
Man cannot reap fruit from worthless seed,
Rely for strength on broken reed,
Or gain a heart he hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope true peace 10 win,
Pleasure without and Joy within,
Living thoughtless life of sin.

A Corn-HuskinE Festival.

1t is estimated that there are now
at least two billion bushels of corr
either standing in the shock or have
been already husked. In the latter
part Of this month or next month
the farmers will gather one day on
one farm and another day on anoth.
er farm, and they will put on then
rough husking apron, and they will
take the husking-peg, which is a
piece of iron with a leathern loop
fastened to the hand and with it
unsheathe the corn from the husk
and toss it into the golden heap.
Then the wagons will come along
and take it to the corn crib. How
vividly to all those of us who were
born in the country comes the re-
membrance Of husking-t time. We
waited for it as for the gala-day of
the year. 1t was called a frolic.
The trees having for the most part
shed their foliage, the farmers wad-
ed through the fallen leaves and
came through the keen morning air
to the gleeful company. The frosts
which had silvered everything dur
ing the night began to melt OF of
the top of the corn shocks. While
the farmers were waiting for others,
they stood blowing their breath
through their fingers or thrashing
their arms around their body to
keep up warmth of circulation.
Roaring mirth greeted the late farm
er as he crawled over the fence.
Sokes and repartee and rustic salu-
tation abounded. All ready. nowl
The men take hold of the shock of
corn and hurl it PROSTATE, while the
moles and mice which have secreted
themselves there for warmth at
tempt to escape. The withe of the
strew is unwound from the corn
shock, and the stalks, heavy with
the wealth of grain, are rolled into
two bundles, between which the
husker sits down. The husking-peg
is thrust in until it strikes,a and then
the fingers rig off the sheathing of
the ear and there is crach as the
root of the corn is snapped off from
the husk and the grain disimprison-
ed is hurled up into the sunlight.
The air is a tonic, the work is so
the company is so
blithe, that some laugh and some
shout, and sing, and some banter,
and some tease neighbor for a ro-
mantle ride along the edge of the
woods in eventide in carriage that
holds but two, and some prophecy
as to the number of bushels to the |

IT MATTERS MUCH.

1t matters little where was born,
If my parents were rich OF poor;
Whether they shrRnk at the cold worlds
seoFn,
Or walk in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity in my clutch,
tell you, my brother, IS plain as am,
1t matters much
II matters little how long / stay
In a world of sorrow and care;
Whether in youth am called away,
Or live till my bones and pate are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch,
On the faded cheek of my follow man,
1t matters much
It ma steTs little where Is my grave,
On the land or In the sea;
By PurliDg brook or meath stormy wave,
II matters little OF naught te me;
But whether the Angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving touoh
AS one that shall wear the victor's crown,
1t matters much
