curiou. Condolences,

A London telegram relates an amusing
incident that occurred in q case on trial
in one of the civil courts on Saturday.
One of the attorneys in the case was Mr..
Henry F. Dickens, son of the novelist, and
during the progress of the trial he brought
down the house by calling as a witness
John Pickwick. Quoth the presiding
baron: What an appropriate witness to
be sworn for -Dickensr' This caused
immense merriment, which, increased
when Mr.. Dickens added: "By a still
more curious coincidence the witness is q
descendant of Mr.. Moses Pickwick, pro-
prietor of the Bath coach, from which
have reason to believe the character of
Mr.. Pickwick was taken, and verify be-
lieve that one of the reasons why ! was
retained In the case was that might call
Mr.. Pickwick. k."-Indianapolis Journal.

The New Carlisle Sun, in speaking of
the Clark county pioneer organization and
the annual meetings, says:
Is 1t now time to talk pioneer meetiDgP
What has become Of the movers In that
enterprise? A gathering of two or three
thousand people here on pioneer day Is no
detriment 10 the town. We wish Il could
be repeated once week In place of once q
year. Any way 70 attract the people to
our town is wisdom, and should meet the
hearty approval Of our citizens.
But We hope the managing COM
mittee will keep Q sharp lookout for
those portable gambling hells that were 90
prominent year ago. There will be
plenty of legitimate amusements offered
from which ali needed expenses can be
collected. By all means hold the pioneer
meeting and have the necessary arrange
ments made at once. II there Is no effort
made for . success. there likely will be
none. This thing of trying how not to do
anything will kill the spirit and enterprise
Of any community.

s.TINKERING" WITH THE
TARIFF.
From News and Observer. !

From News and Observer.
The Republicans have pretended
great anxiety lest the ''tinkering with
the tariff as they call it. might inter.
fere with the business interests OF the
country. How comes it that they are
going into this tinkering business on
their own account? The Republican
members of the Senate propose to
frame a tariff bill Of their own, and
it is to be tariff REFORM measure.
Who would have expected it? After
blaming the Democracy on every
stump for ''tinkering' with the tariff
they proceed 20 do little tinkering
themselves. What is to be said OF
such inconsistency? 1t is Of piece
with all Radical action within recent
years. The Republican party frames
a platform and it's representatives in
Congress act in direct opposition to
its declarations. The party assumes
position for the sake OF effect and
it's members dodge it whenever the
policy of the moment seems to
demand such action. Consistency is
unknown within it's ranks. 1t bends
all energies to vote-naking, at
whatever cost OF consistency or prin-
ciple. To day it is with one minor
party. to morrow with another. 1t is
everything by turns and nothing
long.
Just now it is desperate and pre-
tends in the Senate TO offer the peo-
pie measure of tariff reform. seeing
that such a measure is imperatively
1t thus acknowledges, in
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1888-08-10

effect, the justice of the Democratic
position with respect to tariff revision
and reform but it also takes from its
stumpers all the thunder OF the latter
with reference to tariff .'tinkering. -
What are these stumpers now to do
without the argument of pretended
anxiety that they have been shrieking
over the country? Who would have
looked for such treatment OF them at
the hands Of those in their own
household? Who but those who
know the republican party. its
double dealing, deceitful and reckless
course in the past. its present des-
peration and disregard of all rules OF
consistency and self-respect therein?

that the split of W. A Potts, Jr,

whence no traveller returns, and that
his body rests in the family burial

it is time now to let the matter rest,

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS


There is a Reaper whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
''Shall have naught that is fair?" saith
he;
Have naught but the bearded g ain?
Tho the breath of these flowers is sweet
to me,
will give them all back again
He gazed at the flowers with fearful
eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves;
1t was for the Lord Of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
MY Lord has need of these fowerets
gay,
The Reaper said, and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once child.
They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowsrS she most did love:
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields of light above.
O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

citizens; another reason is that there
are SO many localities which are
already so well advertised that inves-
tors are not going to trouble them
selves to go elsewhere and take
chances.
In this connection we reprint an
extract from Dixie, a paper published
at Atlanta
"Why don't some of the many
smaller towns in the South. offering
chances for investors advertise their
advantages a little more? A fund
of $500 or 81, 900, raised by subscrip-
ton and judiclously expended in
printers ink, would yield amazing
results. Take the town Of Thomas
vile, Ga, for instance The hotels
and boarding houses cannot accomo
date half the people who are foCking
there. Why this influx? Because
the city spent few hundred dollars
last year in advertising its climatic
and other advantages. The same
can be sid of Birmingham, Decatur
Sheffield, Selma, Chattanooga. Gale
ria, Rome, Knoxville, AshvilIe, Dur
ham, and a score of other towns
They owe their ''boom" entirely to
printers ink. We know some towns
whose citizens are SO devoi1 of pub
lie spirit that they would not sub
scribe five cenis to help the place
any quicker than they would commit
suicide These people are a curse
upon the locality where they chance
to i've; 'excrescence upon the body
polite, is what an Alabama editor
calls them. They throw cold water
upon every subject; they look upon
all public spirited acts as schemes
to get money from them; they are
supicious of everything and every
body. The only way town can
prosper with such people in it, is to
ignore the cranks and their gratui
tous advice. Some of our southern
cities rely too much upon the chance
Of getting free advertising. Itshould
be borne in mind that it takes money
to run a newspaper, and publisher
is willing to give gratuitous adver-
tising if he can help it. 1t is unfair
to ask for it,

HOW TO HELP A TOWN.
Roanoke News.

The history of all towns and sec
tons of country in the United States
will show that their pros perity IS
owing more to the enterprise and
energy of the citizens than to natural
advantages, and it is fact that
the citizens of a town make it what
it is whether it be prosperous or un-
prosperous. A town whose citizens
have no public spirit and make no
effort to extend its business and i'm
portance will never be anything.
On the other hand town whose
citizens are determined to make it
a live place, will be live place and
this without regard to natural ad-
vantages, So-called natural sdvan-
tages" have ruined many promis-
ing village, causing them to be left
far behind in the race for prosperity
and wealth, because the citizens de-
pend entirely upon these without in
the least seeing the necessity Of any
eXertion on their part. But natural
advantages are silent; they meet the
eve of nonresident capitalists seek
ing good investments; they never
make a sound to attract attention
from those who could utilize them,
but remain dumb and unknown to
the outside world for years and years
until boys become grayhaired men
waiting for natural advantages,
to be developed, and die without
seeing the fruition Of their hopes.
The citizens of town must ad-
vertise the place. They must let it
be known far and wide that their
town is a desirable place for resi-,
dence for business and for happiness.
There are various ways of doing
this. Printers ink, unity of action,
energy, a determination to make
the town an important point in every
particular, all these will have excel
lent results. And when these have
the addition of natural advantages"
to back up the efforts of the citizens
the future of that town is assured.
The great West owes its surpris-
ing developement to judicious ad-
vertsing. Florida is another exam
pie Of what persistent advertising
will do And even in this State the
towns of Durham, Henderson, and
other places, owe their growth to
printers ink And the reason is
that in these times of fast trains and
fast business and fast living people
will not take time to hunt out places
for themselves, but go to those which
are already established by their own |
