Silence is a still noise.
One of the hardest things for man to
do is to keep still.
Everybody wants to be heard first and
this is what fills the world with nonsense.
Everybody wants to talk, few want to
think, and nobody wants to listen.
have known many man to convince
another man by just nodding his head
once and awhile and simply saying just
SO.
Silence never makes any plumbers and
always gets as much as is due it and of
tentimes more.
When ever 1 see man listening to me
closely when am talking always say
look out old man that fellow is taking
your measure.
One thing is certain it is only the great
thinkers who can afford to be brief there
has been but few volumes yet published
which could not be cut back two thirds
and many of them could be cut clean
back to the title page without hurting
them.
1t is hard to find man of good sense
who can look back upon any occasion
and wish he had spoken more but it is
easy to find many who wish they had
spoken less.
Silence has been cultivated by me the
same as by my neighbors, I am too much
in the habit of talking just as young
crow does.
Temper l think have got more than
l have courage, this makes me think that
must be a good bit of a coward.
Silence and courage guess are whai
the most of US have a small share of in
Bank.
There does not appear to be much
wisdom in silence but there is certainly
some silence in wisdom. l. II.

VIM. Lyman, having secured the hotel
formerly occupied by VIM. Currinder,
moved in on Monday last. And besides

attack of quinscy before they moved,
caught cold on that day and had re-
lapse on Monday night, from the effects
of good wetting on her way to their
new home. 1t was found necessary to
have the doctor three different times dur
ing the night She is now conyalescing

On Thursday evening of last week a
society of young folks Of this place and
Salem met (by invitation) at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Alfred Brooks where aspell-
ing match and games were INDUCED in
There was excellent music, both vocal
and instrumental. But best of all was
the good things that met our gaze as
we emerged into the dining room, where
table was laden heavily with such good
things that good many thought was
impossible TO obtain at this season Of
the year. The young folks were delight
ed with the way they were entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks. By expression
which we heard would say they would
like to meet there again.
We believe the honors conferred by the
spelling match went to young man Of
Glasgow, though one Of our citizens
stood next longest and by the way, he
was a scholar of the olden-time school.

In speaking of David M Ulgich's stock
farm, near this town, the Daily Repub-
lican of Wilmington says; an this con-
nection we may remark that White Clay
Creek should be favored with the intro
duction of a creamery, and arrangements
should be made at an early date to afford
the farmers the advantages arising from
such an establishment.
Now, neighbor Republican, you are
certainly right about Mr. Ulrich max
ing things hustle, but you shot wide
of the mark when y GU asked for the in
PRODUCTION Of a creamery. Dear, Sir, we
have one of the best of the kind to be
found in any State, and the Messrs Daw-
son are the very men who understand
how to run it. The farmers are already
approaching the creamery.
