A considerable number of our coun-

try exchanges are using the patent
plate pictorial or illustrated articles,
containing hideous wood-cut pictures
purporting to be portraits of eminent
men. During the past week we have
noticed in several of them what at
first seemed to be war-map of the
English operations along the Nlie,
but having above it the head linz
"Bayard Hesitatesr' Then it occur
red that it referred to the possible APP
pointment of Senator Bayard, of Del
aware, to a place in the Cabinet of
President Cleveland. A coarse scrawl-
ed line made the outline of what was
intended to represent the head of the
statesman; two coarse streaks down
the cheeks showed off, beautifully.
the lights and shades supposed to have
been given the picture by the shape
of the face; huge triangle under
the nose displayed the shading Of the
upper lip, while huge black line,
resembling rope tied around the
neck showed the outline Of the chin.
After viewing the whole picture care
fully, then reading the headline, one
ceases to wonder that 'Bayard Hesi-
tates." It is a question, however,
whether he would hesitate to kill the
enemy who perpetrated that picture.
~
It is pretty hard thing to say that
woman is fool, and it doesn't sound
a bit nice But in many cases it is
like the poetry Of former citizen of
this place, who, after reciting piece
of his original poetry" said ut don't
sound very well, and don't rhyme
worth -, but it's awful true! 1t
now seems to be serious question
whether or not man could get so
low, and mean, and vile, that a woman
would cease to love him. We record
ed case couple of weeks ago. of a
Gallia county woman, tending to
show the long-suffering and forgiving
nature of woman. Such cases occur
daily in this busy and wicked world.
Over at GAINESVILLE, there is man
named Edward P. Hunt in Jail for
bigamy. A few days ago his wife
and two daughters went from Cincin-
natl to attend his trial. and visited
him in his cell. At sight Of him the
eldest daughter tainted, while the wife
and second daughter were overcome
with grief, and restoratives had to be
applied to bring them to. But the
miserable devil Of a man managed to
retain his composure without the aid
of stimnlsnts. Could she have OBJ
tanned his release, that faithful wife
would doubtless have taken the truant
back with the widest Joy. Girls,
never bestow such love AS that upon
such a man. He is not worthy Of it.

A large number of cases continued,
and some settled, and some dismissed.
Court adjourned Friday forenoon
until Monday. The criminal docket

There are good many unreasona-
BILE people in this world, and two of
them live out in Muncie, Indiana.
Their names are Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Knoeble. Mrs. Knoeble is described
as bride of seventeen, excessively
pretty. She has an uncle, named
Jacob Eberly. A few days ago old
Jake called at young Jake's house,
and the young man was not at home,
but there stood Mrs. Jake, as pretty
as picture, and with rosy lips that
were just made to be kissed. Then
she was his niece, too. Why not kiss
the pretty girlp That was the ques-
ton which worried old Jake, but he
soon got away with it. He threw his
arm around the neck Of his pretty
niece and kissed her three times. But
just here young Jake came suddenly
upon the scene. These were his
kisses now, and he did not propose to
have any spoony old uncles slobber-
ing around there, so he soon con-
vinced the old man that it was his
duty to leave, and leave very fast.
Then the young people concluded to
put stop to all attempts at stealing
their kisses, and the young bride had
her uncle arrested for assault. The
old man admitted that he had kissed
her, but claimed that he had become
used to kissing her when she was
small, and didn't think she had be-
come too big to kiss yet. But the
Court was as unreasonable as the
pretty girl, and decided that the uncle
should pay thirty-fve dollars for his
three kisses. Thus the price Of kiss
ing somebody else's young bride in
Muncie is fixed at eleven dollars sixty
six and two-thirds cents per kiss, and
it is quite probable that young Jake
and his bride will not be annoyed by
old Jake any more.

THE WAY OUT OF DEBT,

Farmers must bear in mind there
is no way but a hard one out of debt.
Signing and wishing to be out of
debt, will never get one out. If a
man is in mire he will remain there
till he dies, unless he struggles to get
on hard soil To get out of debt, one
must sell more than he buys. He
must make his income greater than
his out-goes. He must earn more
money than he spends. lie must re-
ceiye more than he pays out. He
must so manage as to lesson his in
debtedncss somewhat every year. He
must be economical and not extraya-
giant. lie must certainly know at the
end Of the year what his receipts have
been before he can tell what the flu
ture prospect will be Of becoming a
free man. A man who is in debt is
not free man. He is slave. lie
belongs to his creditors, and the deep
er his Indebtedness, the worse his
slavery. He is not a happy man.
His mind is harrassed to meet his
obligations. If he fails to do it, he
suffers indescribable misery. 50
farmers be on the safe side. Manag,
to get out Of debt. Keep out. Save.
Economic. Market every thing yor
can when it is in its best state fol
market. Sell this year more than
You buy.

''That plagued speckled critter
with the broken horn," said an exas-
perated farmer, makes more trouble
than all the cows I've got put togeth-
er. If / could give her away I'd do
it. I'd fatten her for beef, but she d
cost more'n she'd be worth"
That same night railroad train
ran over her and killed her, and the
farmer with tears IN his eyes, told the
official of the road, who was prepared
to remunerate him for his loss that if
it had been any one of his other cows
he wouldn't care so much, but to lose
that valuable animal, the only thor
Oughbred he ever possessed or ex-
pected to possess, was misfortune
almost beyond money reparation.

A GOOD ENOUGH STORY.

A Seneca (Kas.) correspondent,
writing to the Kansas City Times.
says: The anecdote Let Smith Walk"
told by H. Fl. Honore, reminded YOUR
correspondent of a story told of this
gentleman among his intimate friends
and | think it has never been pub
lished before. The story is told by
John G. Christian, lawyer of Chica-
go, who transacted the major portion
OF MIR. Honore's legal business during
the dark days of 1873. Mr.. Chris
tan came into some notoriety at the
Prohibition convention at Pittsburg
by nominating John Peter st. John
for the presidency. The story as re-
lated is about as follows:
Prior to the panic of 1873, Mr..
llonore held about $9,000,0O0 or
SlO,O0O,000 of Chicago property, on
which he owed about S., 100000 and
no man IN Chicago had better credit.
He carried a bank account at St.
Louis, where he had the confidence
of wealthy capitalists. During the
squeeze of 1873, and near the first of
the year, he was in ST. Louis and was
in conversation with the president of
the bank where he did business.
'Mr. Honore," said the banker,
''your account is overdrawn here
some $1,000, and as it is near the
first of the year we would be exceed
ingly obliged if you would. balance
the same to-day"
at is impossible AMI out of the
question for me to do it to-day, and
the probabilities are that it will be
many more days before l can, ." re-
turned Mr.. Honore.
"Well,' says the banker, "can't
you give a note, draw a draft, do
something, just 50 the bookkeeper
can balance the books
"Draw a draft. Who the ID
would | draw a draft on? might
as well telegraph the Gear of Russia
for funds as to draw a draft
"Well, Mr.. Honore, draw draft
on the Gar; that will square the
books, and that's the main thing Just
now"
So after conversation a sight draft
for the amount was regularly drawn
and started on its mission, and the
proper credit given Mr.. Honore.
The draft passed through many bank
ing firms i'll this and the old country,
and by the time it reached the Gar
had many blue ribbons and seals be-
longing to the different institutions
through which it had passed.
1t was presented to the Gar
through one his agents, who desired
instructions what to do with it. The
Gar looked it over, but could not
understand how he came to owe mon
ely to Mr.. Honore, but as everything
appeared regular he instructed that
it be paid, but told his his secretary
to inform Mr.. Honore that the next
time he drew draft to send an item
lied bill.

HOW TWO CHRISTIAN MEN FELL OUT

From the Richmond lNa) Religious Herald.
DIR. NJ. d. Hoge, of this city, tells
of two Christian men who ''fell out.
One heard that the other was talking
against him, and he went to him and
said: ''Will you be kind enough to
tell me my faults to my face, that |
may profit by your Christian candor
and try to get rid of them!" Eyes,
sir, replied the other, Il will do it. >
They went aside, and the former
said 'Before you commence telling
what you think wrong in me, will
you please bow down with me and
let us pray over it that my eyes may
be opened to see nay faults as you
will tell them? You lead in the
prayer" 1t was done, and when the
prayer was over the man who had
sought the interview said "Now
proceed with what you have to COM
plain of in me-" But the other re-
piled CATER praying over it it looks
so little that it is not worth talking
about. The truth is, feel now that
in going around talking against you
| have been serving the devil myself,
and have need that you pray for me
and forgive me the wrong | have
done you" Dr. HIoge tells the sto-
ry very we'll, and here and there in
almost every community is man or
woman who might profit by it.

The boy that starts out upon the
line OF parental disobedience, sets his
lite boat adrift upon an uncertain
sea; and persisting in this course, he
is continually widenining the dis
lance between him and the shores of
happiness, and finally comes to him
self, as did the prodigal son, to find
that he has drifted, an outcAst, into a
haven of misery. Take in,
and develop this thought, boys, and
be sure that you don't start on that
line.

MARIETTA GA THURSDAY MORNING. DEC. 3, 1885.

SCep was 10 ueCIdfe STOCK ulVluen(
of $50 per cent, conditional upor
stockholders paying into the compa
ny's treasury thirty per cent. in casl
upon the new stock. This the ma
jority did, and to illustrate the result
l beg attention to the following sim.
pie demonstration.
A. had one share of original stock
with a marketable value of forty dol
lars. On this he received one and a
half share more by paying the cash
assessment of thirty per cent, or for
ty-fve dollars. This gave him two
and a half shares of stock with a face
value Of two hundred and fifty dol
lars, while in reality they represent
ed to him cash value of only eighty
five dollars. The first act in the pro.
gramme of the manipulators was the
essence of conversation when COM
pared with the fabulous climax of
subsequent procedure. By the fin
ishing stroke of imitation in this deal,
A S . shares of stock were convert
ed into "A volume of sO-called securi-
ties that would have stuffed vault.
He received for his D shares
Seventy-fve per cent. of their face
value in first mortgage bonds.
One hundred and twenty per cent.
on their face value in income bonds.
The hundred and twenty per cent.
on their face value in preferred stock.
Two hundred and forty per cent.
on their face value is common stock.
In other words, for the D shares
of stock having a face value of two
hundred and fifty dollars, A. receiv-
ed this Heterogeneous mass of fortune
paper having a face value of fourteen
hundred and eighty-seven dollars and
fifty cents.
These fictitious assets have con-
tracted sadly, however, from the
figures at which they were floated
on the market when issued A.
81, 487 $1,000 of bonds and script
represent to-day but little more mon
ely value than did his - shares of
stock.
This Ole instance of the wild cat
practice thoroughly demonstrates the
dishonesty and danger of such deals.
In the course of such processes all
the fundamental principles of probity
are apt to be subordinated to the
questionable exactions of shrewd-
ness, and the straight lines of truth
are twisted round the sharp corners
of equivocation until absolute wrong
is praeticed and even justified by the
seductive pleas of expediency. The
spirit of false methods has taken hold
OF our generation, and its power is
lodged in a greed for gain. Many
hapless souls have fallen victims to
this abnormal state Of affairs.
Many homes that were once sweet
and beautiful in precious wealth of
freside JOY, are to-day houses of
mourning because some loved mem
Der has wrecked his life in the quick
sands Of nefarious speculation, and
wrought the ghost ofhappiness across
the family hearthstone.
1t is time for popular cry against
this iniquitous craze, and it is rising
rapidly in the voice of press and peo-
pie. Unless there comes tidal
wave Of reformation in all matters of
finance, bad will 90 on to worse, un-
til deplorable consequences will cul-
inmate in the ruin of individual IN
tegrity and the destruction of nation
al reputation. Augusta, Ga.
