the past week or more but is much
improved and able to attend to his
work again.
Miss G. G. Hood after spending
several months in Salisbury is at
home again with friends.
The ladies of the A. M. E. Zion
Sunday School gave an ice-cream
entertainment on last Tuesday the
10th, to supplement the amount of
childrens Day Fund. Owing to the
inclement weather many who we're
expected could not be present, but
the entertainment was repeated on
Thursday night and a grand time was
enjoyed by all except the workers
Music by the Band enlivened the
occasion. We realized a good sum,
but will not report at present. All
honor, and praise is due our worthy
Shepherd Rev. j. NJ. Hill and to
the Supt. Mr.. Ed. Evans for their
earnest labors in making the enter
tainment such success.
Mr.. A. w. Smith has opened a
grocery store next to Hogan's Hall.
We have several business colored men
of our town now. Quite a number

black-smiths, and if anything in the
repairing Of shoes is needed it can
be done as shoe-shops are numerous.
Messrs Robert Broadfoot and Harvey
Bowman have opened a frst-class

We chronicle the death of little
Arthur Simmons son of Rev. Il.
II. Simmons who died at Wadesboro

brought to this town Thursday morn
ing The funeral took place from
Evans Chapel at II o'clock a. m.
conducted by the pastor Rev. Hill
and assisted by Revs. I. i. Mccain,

quite impressive. We have known
Arthur from his youth and always
found him to be an amiable child.
He was beloved by all who knew him.
Though his remains were deposited
in the family grave yard beside his
once devoted mother, we trust he
is walking the gold paved streets of
the New Jerusalem, side by side with
his mother and other friends.

Ra Their Significant.

The New York Press is recognized as one
of the leading Republican organs 1t is
doubtful if the tribune is quite so bitter in
its attacks upon the South as it is In its
Fridays issue it had little article entitled
"Advice to Brother Randall in which it
said: There has been no time during the
past twenty years that the Republicans Of
Pennsylvania could not have arranged n
district to keep Brother Randall out of
Congress. Now that he finds himself in
direct antagonism 10 the Democratic party
IN tue one great issue dividing the two par
ties, Brother Ra dali should make haste to
get into the ranks of the party with which
he agrees on that great issue. After he has
served In the ranks and learns to keep stop
TO the music of the Republican drum corps,
it will be time enough to talk about leader
ship"
This Republican organ virtually says to
Mr.. Randall: You are in sympathy with
us. Why don't you pluck up courage and
boldly take your stand with us. We have,
kept you in Congress for the last twenty
years because no one in your district who
is recognized as Republican could have
amy opinions you hold, and if you join us
we will make you one of our leaders
When Il Republican organ talks to Mr.
Randall in this way can Democrats be
blamed for asking whethe. he wouldn't feel
more at home in the Republican partyl
The great issue between the two parties is
the tariff, and Mr.. Randall for years has as
sisted the Republican party in preventing
the Democratic party from passing a tariff
reform bill The Press says that he is in
direct autagonism to the Democratic party
on this issue, and there is no doubt that he
is. Admitting that he is an able man, and
an honest one, he is certainly not in har-
mony with the Democratic party, and he is
doing it more harm than if he were a recoe-
nlzed Republican. II he were recognized
as Republican, the few Democrats who
follow him on the tariff issue would desert
him, and he would cease to control any
Democratic votes. The Republicans appear
to want him, and as lie obstructs the Dem
ocratic party, it is doubtful if any Demo
Gratis would object to his joining them.

Justice to Mrs. Job.
Eronl The s.. Pn,h Glohe.


Job was a wonderfully afflicted man. but as a
partial compensation for It he has had the sym
pathy Of the human race for i,On0 years. But it
has not been so with Jobs wife; nobody has
ever spoken kind word of her. on the con
= trary. she has been held up for forty centuries
as a horrible example. But for all that we are
confident the poor woman deserves a better
place in history than she has ever occupied II
She was sour tempered she had enough to give
an acid tinge "a her disposition. She was made
to drink the dreCs from a very bitter cup. and it
is probable that she bore her trouble with about
as much equanimlty as the average woman
would do
Ia the first place she was suddenly reduced
from luxury to penury Any unfortunate wo-
man who has suffered this ordeal knows lust
the frame of mind poor Mrs. Job was in
In the next place she was bereft of her chill
dren. There is no grief SO burdensome as that
which falls upon a mothers heart when the
grave hides her children from sight.
In addition to this accum sulation of sorrows
she was left with an invalid husband on her
hands job was covered with boils, and expert
enCe has taught us that there Is no more exaS-
peratiug patient than a man with boil on him
There are wives. and good wives. too. in this
Christian land OF ours whose lives have been
made most miserable for days and weeks at
time by husband and one boil just think.
then, u hat this poor woman had to endure with
a husband with perhaps from 800 70 1000 bols
on him. Is it any wonder that the woman en-
couraged her husband to terminate his exist
ences The only wonder is that she didn't cut
her own throat in despair
But these were not all the troubles that Jobs
wife had to bear. Her husbands friends came
on visit TO hlm and took possession Of the
house FOR six weeSs at time. Other women,
and good women, too, have had to endure the
same ataiction. and they can very easily account
for Mrs. Jobs exhibition of bad temper Job
got worried with the three visitors himself. and
Yet he didn't have to wait on them. 10 clean up
their rooms, q wipe the tobacco juice from the
parlor carpet every day. to sweep out the mud
they carried in on their boots. AMI to submit 10
the thousand and one annoyances that a male
visitor gives the housekeeper.
II Is about time that somebody was raising a
voice in defense Of jobs wife, aud saying kind
word for the poor woman. who for 1000 years
has suffered the stings Of unjust criticism in
accomplishing silence
There are a great many Jobs wives in the
world to-day.

Long on Bones.


From the Wall Street NeJCS.
A Philadelphia nursery firm, who are ship

ter early in the winter from a resident of that
State, who asked if grapevineS should he en-
riched with any sort of fertilizer. He was an
answered to the effect that bones were an excel

inquiry:
Il have thirty of your vines. How many bones

The firm wrote back in answer: "a barrel

My Lad : Keeps Lent.
'TiS lent:

IT'S lent;
She spent
Her time thus far, each day
in striving as she may
Rules rigid to obey;
In taking heed to pray,
In wearing sad array,
Some natty thing in gray
Not made decoiegte.
In staying from the play
And everything that's gay
SO does she put away
The world, and calmly say
To every tempter, nay
She earnest in her way
OF keeping lent,

When size Is out,

Is that of one devout.
Gone is her air of pride;
The flesh is mortified
At night she'll play
A little social game Of cards Tor, saw.
A quarter on the rubber: when It's done
1t happens frequently that she has won
Enough to give the heathen lots OF fun,
But for such occupation slight her heed;
She'd usually rather lola read,
For quiet she prefers to be,

Uninstructed Blaine Delegates

1t has been almost a month since Mr.
| Blaine's Florence letter was published. but
| there is very little to indicate at the
political fortunes of any ono of the other
candidates have been improved by it. Sen
ator Sherman seems to have a slight advan-
tage over the other Republican aspiraut,,
but there is nothing tangible to show it.
There is a Sherman sentiment in the South
and the Senator's friends are said to be at
work among Southern Republicans, but it
is by no means certain that a majority of
the Southern delegates will favor him.
Even in Ohio, sentiment is divided between
him and Foraker.
The Washington correspondent of paper
that formerly advocated Mr. Blaine's nomi-
nation states what he conceiyes to be the
probable action of the States Half dozen
Western States. he says, will presel candi-
dates New York and Pennsylvania will
send uninst ucted delegations, and the
course will be followed by nearly all the
New England and Middle States. The eff
feet upon the Southern States will be TO
prevent instructions in several of them.
What the Pacific States will do is matter

ment there is quite strong, and the deloga-

unusual state OF affairs at the meeting of

In this way he would appear to so into the

MIR. Blaine has not said that he would re
fuse the nomination. Ii that were his de
termination, he could have stated it in un-
Hlstskab,e terms. His failure to do so has
led many people to believe that he is not
averse to denomination, if it be made with
apparent unanimity and without seeming
effort on his part. Is it the plan of rs
friends TO SEM uninstructed delegates who
will vote for HIM If a chance to do so pre-
sents ITSELF Such plan is not improbable.
