Master Joe Gilmore for a boy of his
age deserves a medal as the boss garde-
ner OF our city. The basket of corn and
beans he dropped into the larder of the

DEMOCRAT. AS the boys say: "and don't
you forget it."

A new code of window Irritation is GO
ing the rounds of the society papers,
Everyone should thoroughly acquaint
himself with the article. When a win
dow drops down with a sickening crash
on the fingers of a mar who is only par
tally acquainted with the signals, he is
unable to distinguish in the confusion of
the moment whether the window meant
"stay a little longer or simply "have
you ceased to love me?'"
Let it be understood, that plenty of
fresh, pure air, accessible to all rooms
of the house, free and unobstructed
light, pure water, and dry and clean
premises, are essential conditions of
health, in all households, and in the ar
rangement of all buildings in which hui
man beings are to live. These are con-
ditions winch nature has prescribed, and
when We violate or neglect them, we
must suffer the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and premature death.

A man who removes and owes the
Printer for a paper, and does not notify
the publisher of his removal, but lets the
Post Master do that, is a scoundrel and
cheat, and the only recourse the news
paper man has, is tonotify the Post Mas
ter at the place to where he has remov-
ed, to caution the people not to trust such
a man, and that is perhaps the reason
why some fellows fad out that the peo-
pie among whom they locate, seem to
know them as soon as they get there.
Whisky was three cents per glass in
ye olden times; then funerals were not
so expensive as now, and every store had
a barrel on tap In those days beef steak
was three cents a pound, and butchers
were not so numerous as they are to-day.
Pew rents were never heard of, and in
stead of a choir all joined in singing the
good old-fashioned hymns, and girls
went to church in their barefoot and
with sun bonnets on their heads, and the
sisters listened to the preacher instead of
looking at their neighbours new bon

j. N. Lake appeared before Judge
Hume on Tuesday morning last, and
plead "guilty" to the eight indictments of
forgery, and was sentenced three years
to the P~enitentiary. What a sad, sad af-
fair! No person in this community can
help but have a feeling of deep sympathy
for Mr.. Lake and his family. But in his
case the law was memorable. However
blighting to a past life OF honor and in
tegrity, or to a future life of usefulness
as a citizen, it had to be enforced. We
regret his misfortune, and hope it will be
a warning to all other public servants in
our county,-to be honest, faithful and
true to their trust.
"Peterson,s Magazine" for August
leads off with a capital steel-engraving,
"Meetin's Out" from the original pic
ture by E. l.. Henry: one of the very
best things we have " seen, and thor
oughly American. The tales, sketches,
etc., etc., are all original, and are unusu-
ally good. "Some Creole Blossoms" is
a story of remarkable originality and
power. "Lord Avalon" goes on spirit
eddy, and so does the novelet by Mrs.
| Stephens. We have often said that every
lady of refinement should take this mag
azine, and we now repeat the advice
