the back fence, and when the cats
alight and begin to sing their tuneful
ballads he turns on the battery. The
cats are not injured, but they arc SO

PROFITS OF AUTHORS.
Literary Men who Have Made Fortunes bH
the Labor of Their Pehs.

Literary Wen VINO nave nhut w
the Labor of Their Pehs.
It is often said that literature is not
profitable calling, and that very
large majority of those who have de-
voted themselves to it have found this
saving to be true There is little doubt
that the average earnings in the law
and medicine. and even in divinity
are larger than in the profession OF
authorship. Yet, on the other hand.
to a very limited few writers Of genius
or talents the writing Of BOOKS has
been a source not only Of profit, but of
fortune.
It is only little more than nun
dred years since DR. Samuel johnson
taught his brother authors to look for
their profits, not to the rirn patrons
who paid them larger or lc-- sum foI
fulsome dedications, but to the fast
increasing public Of readers. Yet
long before DR., JOhnsone time there
lived, now and then, an EHglj~h author
whose work was well paid for.
While Milton received only s. for
paradise Lost. the poet Pope. not
many years after, received n" I"e-
than 50. 900 for the far les laborious
task q tran-Iating Homer. Similar
inequalities Of rewards to authors ap-
pear at litttc later period

Startling Discovery,

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvislted by the pcsti-
lent scourge of fever and ague, that it ex-
lists in their very midst, is decidedly
startling. Such discoveries are made at
every season, in every part of the Union.
Subsequently,, when 1t is ascertaned, as
it invariably is at snch times, through
the valuable experience of some one who
has been benefited and cured, that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is q thoroughly
efficacious eradicator of the ma larial p0is-
on, aud means of fortifying the system
against it, q feeling of more security and
tranquility reigns throughout the whole
neighborhood. Besides the febrile forms
of malarial disease, dumb ague and agne
cake are removed by the potent action OF
the Bitters, to which science also gives
its sanction as II remedy for rheumatism
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
debility, kidney troubles, and all diseases
impairing the organs of digestion and
assimilation.

DEATH OF T. j. S. M'0RATH

We are indeed panied to chronicle the
death of Mr.. I. J. S. McGrath, eldest son
of Mr.. John McGrath, of Brookhaven,
which occurred at Ashville, n. c., on
Thursday, Sept Sd, where he had gone in
company with his devoted family for the
benefit of his fast failing health. Mr.. Nc
Grath was one of the truest and noblest of
Gods works-a man with broad and liberal
charity for all; an enterprising and public
spirited citizen; loving and affectionate
husband; a dutiful and obedient son; a
kind and indulgent father He will be
terribly missed by the good people of
Brookhaven who loved and respected him
as few men are loved and respected. His
remains were brought to Brookhaven,
where they We're laid away in the Catho-
lie Cemetery, there an immense concourse
of people following them to their last rest
ing place.
All of the stores in Brookhaven were
closed on the day of the funeral, testifying
to the high respect in which the people
held Mr.. McGrath. To his parents, wife
and little ones and brothers and sisters, we
tender our heartfelt coincidence over their
sad and irreparable loss, but feel assured
that when the Resurrection morning shall
come, they will all be reunited in the
Heavenly world above.-Summit Sentinel.

The formal opening at the College last
night was pleasurable affair, The spa
cious College Chapel was almost filled
with sweet College girls, citizens OF
Brookhavcn and visitors. Short con-
gratulatory addresses were delivered by
President Fitzhugh, Hon. Il. II. Thomp-
son, Revs. A. f. Watkins and j. M.
Weems, in happiest vein, which were in
terspersed with beautiful violin
solo by Miss Ellen Amey, with piano
accompaniment by Prof. Henninses. a
sweet vocal solo by Mrs. Murrah, and a
well-reudered piano solo by Miss Amey.
Prof. Henninges was suffering with fever
and cold, and scarcely able to be out, so
had to reluctantly disappoint the andi-
ence, who were anxious to hear him sing.
Tho occasion was indeed a most happy
and auspiciOus one.

A CARD.

That all the members of the Farmers
Alliance may know why j. as their sales
man. quit the employment of Messrs. A.
Scherck g. Son, make the following ex-
PLANTATION
1t was agreed to in the contract made
between A. Scherck & Son and the Al
lance that the Alliance should have pow
or to elect one from among their number
whose duty it should be to act as sales
man and TO look after the interests of the
Alliance. 1t was further agreed to IN
said contract That the Alliance should
have the power to say what said sales
man should have as compensation Tor
his services. When the County Alliance
met to elect said salesman, u elected me,
and authorized the trade committee To
say what | should have for my services.
They said I shonld have forty dollars
$4,000 per month. They informed A.
Scherck L. Son of what they had done,
and he told them that he would not give
il and that he would give only give thir-
ty-fve dollars tS35.00I. The trade COM
mittee came to me and told me that A.
Scherck & Son would give only thirty
five dollars t235.0O1 and asked me would
| work for that told them | was mex
perienced in the business and for that
reason would work for thiTty-tive dol
lars for the first month, but after that
wOnld have to have more. At the next
regular meeting of tho County Alliance
went before that body aud Informed
them what the trade committee did i'll re-
gard to setting my wages also asked
the Alliance to say what should have for
my serv ices. The Alliance decided that
should have forty-five dollars [$45 OOl
per month. The Alliance authorized the
-. SnIaa IL u.
Son of what it had done, and appointed
the following Thursday as n day tor do
ing this. On the following Thursday
there was but one of the trade committee
present.
As there was no definite understanding
about what should have for my services,
and as A. Scherck g. Son had failed to
give the price set by the trade committee,
and as the trade committee did not com
ply with their orders from the Alliance,
thought had just right to quit.
Yours respectfully,
