EDITORS REFLECTOR.-In justice to
the old soldiers and sailors l have
word to say, wherein myself is included
with them, and as you have invariably
advocated their cause in advancing
their special interest, and without pre-
tentiOns Of gain thrown open the col
umns of your interesting paper wherein
their grievances could be stated and
literally commented upon by you in
their welfare, and for which, as one, |
cannot pass it by without giving it
respectful consideration, and l think
that l can unheSitatingly say that your
conduct towards us through the columns
of your paper is highly cOmmendable to
G.. A. r. interests.
For the last 20 years The old soldiers
and sailors have been deluded by flip
pant, designing intriguing politicians
to advance their personal interests for
political position, and all their preten-
tions in the past, as well as at the re-
cent state legislature, and in many in
stances at the National Capital the
same Buncombe is resOrted to. Permit
me to say here for the benefit of my
lIldO VIC CllChCu SOOOOu a
number of years and fed on sweet
taffy until it has become revolving and
indigeStible to our nature, and that it
becomes our duty in the future to study
our own personal interest and avoid all
and every political intriguery. What
an abSurdity and an insult to the old
heroes and defenders of our country,
who in measure, are more or less
emaciated by disease, contracted while
in the service of their country, Others by
advanced ages. to hear from their pre-
tended benefactors, no political posi-
ton, that they are in favor of granting
to remaining members of the old heroes
when they arrive at the period of 30
years who are unable to take charge of
themselves, and others who arrive at

receive a pension of IS. per month.
How many will live long enough to
enjoy the paltry sum of IS. is matter
of conjecture to our patriotic citizens.
| for one say shame at such PROPOSE

legally belongs to us and what the gov
eminent promised us, our pay in full,
and not in deprecated paper currency
which we are entitled to. The con-
gressmen, under the second administra-
ton of President Lincoln, when they
voted themselves the handsome sum of
$4,000, annually pay able in gold, surely
we are entitled to receive the same or

Old Fashioned Tea Party.

The Union School graduating class
was entertained last Friday evening, at
the residence of r. n. Curtis. The fol-
lowing young ladies were dressed in
gowns quaint and queer, century old
or something near. The first three wore
Martha Washington caps and, 'kercheifs.
Annie Curtis, brown silk striped with
CAV colors; Mamie Hoisington, light
silk with large FLOWING sleeves" Nina
Hodge, blue silk, short train; Annie
Coble, light blue silk and velvet, short
train; Minnie Parent, blue plaid silk;
Lucy Carpenter, dark red dress; Dora
Cobb, green silk trimmed with fringe;
Nellie Thornton, black dress; Alice
Wilson was dressed as nun and di-
vided her time between counting heI
beads and reproving her companions;
Winnie SchOpp took the character of a
widow. The one young man of the
class did not venture to present himself.
The gentleman who did have the cour,
age to call for his best girl was the vic
tim of a cruel joke-a very Thorn-in
the flesh; for, after proceeding a short
distance he discovered he was Sunder-d
from her, and the k-Nell of strange
voice sounded in his ears.

The wheat prospects are discouraging.
There are very few fields that will pay
to let ripen, but there is one advantage
over last year, the farmers will have
time to plant and SOW corn, oats and
other cereals. There is still large
supply of old wheat in store in the
granarys of the great wheat depots of
the world, and the farmer that raises
oats and corn instead will no doubt
realize more money from those crops
than from crop of wheat. Last year
the wheat in this State promised good
crop within few weeks of harvest and
then the Hessian fly commenced their
ruinous work, and it was too late to re-
SOW or re-plant other crops.

Much complaint is made, and justly
too, against parties throwing hedge
trimmings on the roadside, and allow
ing it to be scattered around to the det-
riment of the travelling public. 1t has
caused more than one dashboard to dis
appear when some horse was trying to
kick the clinging limb from his tail.
The stray hedge limb is a nuisance, a
pointed nuisance, and every man that
trims his hedge ought to carefully pile
the same and burn them when dry.

The art Age says of the wholesale
publishing of scandal: Realistic pic
lures of vice and the vicious cannot be
else than degrading to those who study
them, for, though they may not bewitch
with sin or tempt to it, they coarsen
the spirit and certainly help form ex-
cuses if not reasons for more carnal liv-
ing. They give vice to the silent but,
also, omnipresent and universal con-
seriousness of our low natures: IF the
world is all so bad, why need be bet
ter than anyhow much better l am
as it is than my fellows!'"
