Chicago Bank Suspends

Chicago Bank Suspends
The Traders Bank, of Chicago, pri-
vate concern, passed into a receivers
hands on the I'd inst, on petition filed
by Thomas z. Tallman, the cashier. The
president, Joseph 0. Rutter, has been
i'll for long time and is now on his
death-bed. The business done by the
bank has been steadily decreasing tor
some time, and this is given as the sole
cause of the failure, which was not con-
nected in any way with the wheat cor
ner. The liabilities are placed at about
81, 100000. The nominal assets are
1898, $500, very little of which is avail
able. The depositors are mostly farm
ers in Northern Illinois. The bank was
one of the old financial institutions of
Chicago, and the expected demise OF
President Rutter is assigned as one OF
the principal causes of the failure. Mr..
Rutter owned $lb0, 600 worth of its CAPT
, tai stock of S20O, 900.

WISE WORDS.
R. S. RrvEs.

A mans part is to Lear misfortunes
rightly.
1t is the cause and not the death that
makes the martyr.
Borrowing is the canker and the death
of every mans estate.
Trusting to luck is only another name
for trusting to laziness.
The thing which we do not mean to
say is frequently the thing which is said.
1t is not enough to study life, one
must live it if one would be truly an
artist.
Envy is the sunshine of another's life,
making the shadow of our own seem
deeper.
1t is better to be discarded without
ceremony than being endured with
patience.
Every man is in some sort failure to
himself. No one ever reaches the height
to which he aspires.
No man ever got rid of lie by telling
it; it is sure to come home sooner OF
later to hobnob with its author.
When l caution you against becoming
miser, do not therefore advise you to
become prodigal or a spendthrift.
Some things after all come to the poor
that can't get in at the doors of the rich,
whose money somehow blocks up the en-,
trance way.
Time is the greatest Of tyrants and eX-
tortioners. As we go toward age he
taxes our health, our limbs, our faculties,
our strength and our features.
Where there is abuse, there ought to
be clamor; because it is better to have
our slumbers broken by the fire bell than
to perish amid flames in our bed,
They say that the truth is not to be
spoken at all times, which is the equiva-
lent of saying that truth is an invalid,
who can only take the air in close car

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. II. 1888.
Mr.. Editor:-The subject and merit
Of christian reputation, and especially
that of the ministry is a matter upon
which too little estimate is put. Chris
tan people seem to forget the fact,
that the standing Of the ministry
should give tone and character to the
congregations served There is an
old maxim in which there is more
truth than poetry: Like priest like
people. T" The ministry necessarily
shapes the moral standard of the pco-
pie and therefore the members should
look after and cndeayor to protect the
morals Of their ecclesiastical repre-
sentatives. We are too ready to
catch up any thing that old Miss Cos
sip may feel disposed to start, chow
ever absurd) and herald it through the
community, and when society stagna-
ted with the odium of degrading ru-
mors, these very good brothers? and
friends ? will unite in vilifying their
clergymen and putting them down as
the worst creatures that exist on the
face of the earth. Listen: Did YOU
hear the news? No: What is it ?
Why they say the minister: What
about it do tell me all about it, you
know me, would not mention it for
worlds. Well they say do you

BUY LAND.

Prof. Price thinks the best place
for the Negro to fully develop his
manhood is here in the South. We
have often expressed the same opinion,
yet there is plenty room in the west
and a plenty of surplus labor here to
spare. To all who want to 60 we say
go, and to those who stay we say buy
land.
Our city has organized nearly
dozen factories of one kind and an
other within the last two or three
months. Hundreds of operatives are
expected to be employed in these fac
tories but no one thinks of seeing
black operative. Where are all these
people coming from! Some of them
will come from the country and many
farm will be deprived of its laborers.
There has been too much leaving the
country and coming to town by the
colored people. Who is to make cot
ton for these factories and the corn and
vegetables to be canned and the pota-
toes and cabbage to feed them while
they spin?
We advise the colored people,
especially of this section to 60 in the
country and buy land and become the
farmers of this country. Stop this
way of cropping on shares, the land
owner getting all the shares and put
ting you in debt at the end of the
year. Farming is nice work and
healthy, but we admit it is not en-
couraging when one works all the
year and makes good crop and is
told that he is still behind. 1t is
enough to discourage any one.
We say to our people Joy land. If
you can't buy it near town, 60 far
from town and buy. If you can't buy
in this county, go to the next, and
the next, till you find land to buy.
If necessary, go till you cross the
Mississippi, and if you can't buy in
Arkansas or Texas, keep going till you
get to the plains of the great terrific
ries and the golden grain fields of
California. To be people, We must
own land, and while we are not dis
couraged and disposed to complain of
the progress made since our emanci-
patton, we insist that the desire for
owning land must increase among us,
and we must in the next twenty-five
years possess five times as much land
as we own now Where it is said
that the Negro voters of Georgia own
on an average eight acres to the voter,
they must in the next quarter of a
century own the forty acres and the
mule.
Land is cheap in North Carolina,
and every poor man ought to own
enough to make his family support.
We see people around this city paying
81 to So per acre year rent, when in
so many placas land can be bought for
the same or less. Who would not
rather buy than rent for the same :?
We say again, buy and till your own
land. Work for wages-living wages
till you can make start on buying a
small piece of land. Buy five or ten
acres at first, and improve it. Buy
land and be men.

A Rlghteous Verdict.

We rejoice that a Chicago jury has at last
taken the part of the widow and the father
less against one of the vampires of society,
that sucked the life's.boo1 out of the bread
winner, and helped to send genius of un
usual promise to an untimely grave. Mrs.
Lucy a. Elkins, the widow of the painter
whose Mount Shastan and other brilliant
works Of art, had placed him high up on the
ladder of fame, has under the dram-shnp act,
recovered 5000 damages against a Chicago
saloCn-keeper, who, despite her entreaties to
the contrary, persisted in selling her husband,
who was a victim 10 intemperance, strong
drink. The owners of the building where
the saloon is located were found equally
responsible with the saloon-keeper. 1t was
shown in the testiEC ny that the deceased
artist had been induced to part with some of
his valuable paintings for a mere song in
order to raise money to buy more alcoholic
poison.
The saloon-keeper who will continue to
sell liquor TO man who, by his indulgence
in the Intoxicating cup, is running his life
and beggaring his family, is in every sense
of the word what we have already designated
him-a vampire. The amount recovered by
Mrs. Elkins is said 10 be the largest sum ever
recovered in the country in a case of this
| kind, but we think it was by far too little.
| What can 5000 do to compensate the widow
and children who were so Tuthlessly robbed
| Of the one who should have been their stay
| and support, and who could so easily have
/ earned princely income for his family! We
! are glad, however for the lesson which has
| been taught the heartless Tum-seler TO whom

MlstIotoe on Telegraph wires.

A traveller in Brazil writes to horti-
cultural paper telling of the crop of mis-
lletoe that he found growing on tele.
graph wires near Rio Jaueiro. When he
iirst saw it he thought that foods had
left weeds hanging to the wires, but a
nearer inspection and the height of the
wires convinced him that the apparent
weeds were thousands of little mistletoes
hrmly fixed to the wires. Many species
of this plant grow in Brazil, and some,
called "bird weeds" bear berries which
Rre eaten 10y birds. The seeds are de.
posted on the telegraph wires, and take
root. They are short lived, of course,
but the constant deposit of seed clothes
the wires with this curious fringe.

Hog Pastures and Hog Range.

White clover pastures are excellent for
hogs but these pastures cannot be
planted in the pine lands of the South
so successfully as in the West aud North.
But white clover grows we'll in portions
of the pine lands, and red clover will
grow on these lands when they are well
lined. But lucerne will grow on these
lands, and lespedeza is a pretty good
substitute for clover pasturage. Hogs
commence grazing lespedeza in March,
and in some places in February, and
they feed upon it until the hard frosts
of November.
Good grass-eating hogs should be bred
in the South-it is much easier to make
a living by grazing than by roofing.
The rooters lose flesh by hard work.
The Berkshires are the hest rooters, and
the Poland Chinas are the best grazors.
Good grass is needed to keep hogs
growing during the summer months,
and green corn or sorghum should come
in to help keep the hogs in thrifty con-
dition until the fall crops begin to ma.
ture. A dozen pigs may be kept grow
ing all summer in pasture or orchard
near the house, fed on swill and milk,
and corn when short of other feed.

Why the Drinker is Tired in the
Morning

DR.. R. w. Richardson, of London, the
noted physician, says he was recently able
to convey a considerable amount of convic-
tion to an intelligent scholar 10y simple ex-
pertinent. The scholar was singing the
praises of the "ruddy bumper" and saying
that he could not get through the day with
out it, when DIR. Richardson said to him:
win you feel my pulse as l stand here"
He did so.
1 said: Count it carefully; what does it
sayr
Your pulse is seventy-rourn
l then sat down in a chair and asked him
to count again. He did so, and said:
"Nour pulse has gone down to seventy"
| then lay down on the lounge, and said:
"Will you take it agaiuin
He replied: why, it is only sixty-four
what very extraordinary thingm
then said: when you lie down at night,
that is the way nature gives your heart a
rest You know nothing about it, but the
beating organ is resting to that extent; and
If you reckon it up it is great deal of rest,
because in lying down, the heart is doing IN
strokes less a minute. Multiply it by 60
and it is COO; multiplying it by hours, and
within a fraction it is 5000 strokes different;
and as the heart is throwing six ounces of
blood at every stroke, IL makes difference
of 90 900 ounces Of lifting during the night.
When | lie down without any alcohol that
is the rest my heart gets; but when you take
your wine or gTog you do not allow the rest,
for the influence of alcohol is to increase the
number of strokes, and instead of getting
| the rest you put ON it something like ID 90,
extra strokes, and the result is you rise uu
very seedy and unfit for the next days
work till you have little more of the rud.
