Such is the present summer season, for never
before have we offered such exceedingly gooG

their disposal.

WhlttIer,s Brother to Found q Town.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
Mr.. Clark Whittier, brother OF the
poet, is going ahead in the right way
to found a town in North Carolina.
He purchased 10000 acres Of land in
Swain county, with view to estab-
fishing saw mills, laying out o town,
dividing up large tracts into small
farms, and settling up the country
The other day o public meeting was
held on the site Of the proposed town
of Whittier. and motion was made
and adopted that operations be opened
upon the principles of the word OF
God, including all morality, and espe-
cially temperance and prohibition Of
the strongest form. A motion was
then adopted to secure if possible the
names of all property-holder within
ten miles of Whittier to pledge pro-
hibiting forever the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors. No tract of land will
be sold without condition whereby
the purchasers agree that in case
spirituous or malt liquors are sold,
imported, or manufactured for use,
except for medicine or for arts, the
owner shall surrender the land to
Clark Whittier or his legal represen-
tative on the rendering of the pur-
chase money.

The chronic strike nuisance may
well be considered in connection with
the migratory condition and habits Of
an increasing number of laborers II
the policy OF the State were to put
city homes within the reach Of indus
trious artisans and laborers, they
would be more careful Of the business
interests of the places where they
live. The settled man is a conserva-
tive citizen when he owns a lot and a
house thereon. Speculative land
holding is something that exists
wholly by the power Of statute and
the police protection OF the State.
The State should therefore shape its
tax policy so as to squeeze out a sys-
tenn which is q public evil, mistake
from the beginning. The homestead
exemption law amounts 10 little with
out a policy which will give every
family right to acquire q home on
paying what may be reasonable TO
reimburse the holders who have
bought and held land and lots in ex-
cess while society WAS under uni
versal misrepresentation as TO the ma
ture Of landed property and the now
visible evils Of land monopoly. Ifland
can be condemned for railroads, it
should be condemned, il necessary,
for homes for the people at q moder-
ate price.-Galveston News.

"a Beautiful Father.o

"Tell your mother you've been
very good boys today" said a school
teacher to two little new scholars.
40" replied Tommy, ave haven't
any mother"
awho takes care Of youf" she
asked.
"Father does. We've got beau
tiful father; you ought to see him !
"Who takes care OF you when he
is at work"
"He takes all the care before he
goes off in the morning, and after he
comes back at night. Hes a house
painter, but there isn't any work this
winter, SO he's doin' laborin till spring
comes. He leaves us warm break
fast when he goes of, and We have
bread and milk for dinner, and a good
supper when he comes home. Then
he tells US stories and plays on the
fife, and cuts out beautiful things
with his jack-knife. You ought to
see our father and our home; they
are both 20 beautiful"
Before long the teacher did see
that home and that father. The
room was q poor attic, graced with
cheap pictures, autumn leaves, and
other little trihes that cost nothing.
The father, who was preparing the
evening meal for his motherless boys,
was, at first glance, only rough, be-
grimed laborer; but before the stran-
ger had been in the place ten minutes,
the room became o palace and the
man a magician.
His children had no idea they were
poor, nor were they 80 with such o
hero as this to fight their battles for
them. This man, whose grateful
spirit lighted up the otherwise dark
life of his children, was preaching to
all about him more effectually than
was many man in sacerdotal robe in
costly temple. He was man of pa
tience and submission to Gods will,
showing how to make home happy
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances. He was rearing his boys to
be high-minded citizens, to put their
shoulders to burdens, rather than be-
come burdens to society in the days
that are coming.
He was, as his children had said,
ga beautiful father" in the highest
sense of the word.-The Mothers
Friend.

A Most Dastardly Deed.

On last Friday night while Mr.. L.
j. Muller, Of Homer, was sitting at
the supper table with his two little
motherless children, some fend in
human shape stealthily slipped to the
window with shot gun and fred at
him. Seven shot took effect in bis
breast and neck, breaking the latter.
DR.. DuBose, on account OF some
threats, was arrested for the murder,
but proved by some Of the best citi-
zens Of Lufkin an alibi. There are
other parties suspicioned, but no
other arrests have been made. 1t is
hoped that the guilty scoundrel will
be spotted and justice meted out to
him. Our sister county cannot afford
to let such terrible crime go unpun-
ished il it is possible TO ferret out the
guilty party.-Moscow Pinery.
