The applause when the nomination OF Mr..
Cleveland was ratified by the convention
was terrible, but II bore no comparison to the
uproar that greeted his name when first pre-
seDted.
After his formal nomination efforts were
made TO nominate candidates for the vice

ously opposed it, and made repeated efforts
10 secure recess until tomorrow. The Thur
man men at first opposed it, and successfully.
They evidently thought that the heart OF the
convention was with them.
Finally, however, Mr.. White, Of Califor-
mia, an enthusiastic supporter OF Thurman,
mnde speech favoring recess. he said
that the nomination Of vice president would
send many delegates home without vote on

Thk argument proved effective, and the
convention took recess until Thursday at

A SILHOUETTE.

J.
Over the water the rising moon aoated her golden
hair,
That rimpied and curied In the low blown winds
from the quays 10 her forehead fair.
And round each notch Of the laden shore, where
the slim creeks softly bled
Their lives away in the strange wide sea, she
broidered golden thread.
And down where the long white fingered piers the
waves with cool tongues hap,
Two lovers were walking, who crossed the fields
Of the moons round golden map
And midway the lunar meadows lengths thar
inky shadows kissed,
Then passed like midgcts, hand In hand, out In
the shade and mist
Ahi II lovers don't wish their trystins known, or
their kisses 70 gossips strewp,
They must do their streytng In shady spots, or
their Kisses behind the moonl

Triumph Of Grit.

We heard rather illustrative sto
ry lately from one ofour neighborine
factory towns. An.old-fasshion Yam
kee of Quaker stock, who ran small
shoe factory, indulged in u theory
that nothing could pry out of his minc
that a moral wrong was somehow
perpetrated upon the community al
large If a woman were allowed to carr
above stipulated sum each week
AS his help was paid by the week
and he had to keep tally in the matt
with current prices, he found this
rather hard to manage at times
The swiftness of one young woman
especially troubled him greatly. She
would persist in running financially
ahead of others. At last he made d
special cut-down in her prices and
told her why he did so. She gave
him a baneful glance, frightened hel
lips and went on working. By Sat
urday night next, despite the cht.
down, she made 10 cents above the
week before. Another went by
when he cut her down still more
The damsel still proved yatne and
rose to the occasion. After a week
or more the Quaker's conscience grew
scared and asked her what she
meant. sit means,' said the girl
that you may keep Oh and I'll keep
on till you have a corpse on your
hands i'll this workroom, for I'm grit
and you cant conquer me!' The
race ended there, and the girl was
allowed normal pay.-Ex.

Stock Raising,


We recently received copy Of the
report Of the statistician of the
agricultural department of the Z. s,
government. from which we CLEAN
the following interesting facts in
reference to the stock business, The
number of horses hss increased
greatly and horses are being raised
and improved more than any other
animal, there having been fivs per
cent more of them raised within the
last year than the year previous.
Mules come next having increased
In number three aud one half per
cent. Hogs and sheep have decreas-
Cd in number, about one per cent
respectively. Values have changed
very little, except that Of hogs hav-
Ing increased eleven per cent. Re-
ports from twenty states show in
creased interest in stock raising and
Improvement lparticularly horses),
except in Indiana and lllinois, now
where the stock business is 'below
par" owing to the very severe drouth
In these states last summer. Below
we give Mississippi's report in full
'There is large increase in stock of
all kinds, and much better attention
Is being paid them than ever before.
All are trying to improve their stock
particularly cattle, aud better provi-
sions are being made for shelter than
heretofore. Fine blooded stock is
getting to be much sought after.
The farmers are gradually getting
rid OF their common stock and sup
plying their places with better
Breeds" The general report also
states, that indication point to ad-
vanced prices for all kinds of stock
In the near future and further says,
ian interest that represents $2,40o-
100000, and including horses and
other animals in cities, not far from
$3,OOo, 600, 900, is one Of the very first
agricultural Importance, that de-
mands the most intelligent endeavor
of farmers to obtain the largest pos
sible annual income from such an
investment AZ the lowest possible
cost" We hope that this view of the
vastness, and promising outlook Of
the stock business will stimulate
the farmers OF our cuunty and state
to greater efforts in that line.-Pa-

The Dimes Make Dollars,

The rapidly growing popularity OF
saving banks in the South is the best
proof which could be given of the
solid foundation upon which its
prosperity is based. A few years ago
there were not half a dozen of these
institution south of the Ohio river.
Now there are several in every one
Of the large cities. They are all
doing u good business and it Is daily
growing in volume, Contempt for
nickels and dime Is a Southern fall
ing of the past. 1t will be some time
yet before the penny can become pop
ulsr, but that is coming, too. The
demand, it is proper tosay, first came
from the working people, who have
OF late been drifting by thousands
into the South. One of the first
things the mechanic from the North
or East asks for after he has home
IL the name of some solid saving
bank in which he may deposit the
nest egg he has already accumulated
and whatever else he may be able to
add to 1t out Of his earnings. 1t is an
established fact that the greatest
enterprises Of the world are carried
forward, not 50 much with the big
Jumps Of rich mems gold, measured
IN u bushel measure, but with the
pennies, the nickels and the dimes
which pour In in a hundred thousand
small streams from the earning of
the workingmen. Together they
make sum greater than the aggre-
gated wealth Of all other trusts. 1t is
by encouraging the working classes
to save to the first place, and then
put their saving into circulation,
that the great centers Of America
and Europe find the means to build
great railways or canals aud to take
up national debts.

The following changes were made
in the privilege tax law by the last
Legislature:
Life insurance companies, raised
from $500 to $3.50; can enter Stats by
paying &l00; no provision made for
| them under old law. Each of the
first seven sections levying priyi-
lese tax on merchants Of from rs to
rs was increased IS. The lowest tax
on merchants now being $40; foot
pedlers are increased from 5 to $40,
peddlers with horse from $50 to 40,
all classes of cotton weighers are in
creased rs, liquor dealers selling not
less than five gallons increased $50,
street brokers keeping an office re-
1uced from 5000 to $75, and tax on
street brokers abolished, tax on small
county ferries abolished.
The following is the increase on
banks: From S60 to 500, from 100
to 250, from $50 500, from 200 to 800,
from 800 to l,O00, from 400 to 1.25O,
from 500 to 1900. Being at about the
rate Of $40 on 1000 of stock. This
exempts State banks from paying
any other tax. National banks can
not be forced to pay privilege tax as
per this bill or pay advalorum taxes.
State, county and municipal tax
ON cotton seed oil mills increased one
hundred per cent; bed spring agents
changed from $25 for state to IS for
each county. The following occupa-
ton, professions, ETC., are taxed un-
der this bill which have heretofore
been exempt: Festivals of all class
es unless for benevolent or educa-
tional purpose vs. coal dealers, $40;
