HIGH AUTHORITY.

Tie Secretary of the Chicago
American Section asked the Widow
Parsons at a public meeting last
Sunday whether or not Prof. Gar
side was an anarchist, to which that
lady replied:
"Garside is not an anarchist.
From his talk, though, part Of the
time | should take him for a State
Socialist, while at other times he
speaks anarchy pure and simple.
Gaiside is fresh yet and needs to
study
Untrammelled by "book-larnin', .
law or custom, free as Zingara,
natural as life, Mrs. Parsons may be
considered authority-if there is
"authority" in anarchy-on subjects
beyond her comprehension. But it
does not require learning to discover
anarchy in the word "liberty' and
socialism in the word "orGer and
law Could there be (tc the mind
of the gentle anarchist) greater in
congrmty than law, liberty and
order, all spoken in one breath?

Next Friday evening Mr.. A Rosen-

Brewer Stevenson is said to be anxious
to spend much money in finding the
perpetrator of an alleged dynamite out

1t would be awkward if some honest de-

That ignorance and wilful misrepre-
sentatiOn is a pronounced characteristic
feature of all the capitalist nuisances of
newspapers, is well known fact, But,
as a general rule, they rarely make fools
of themselves. Well, the New York
Morning Journal fully succeeds in max
ing a fool of itself when it undertakes to
talk on Russian literature Here is an
instance. In its issue of last Sunday,
February 3, it informs its credulous
readers that the Russian language reads
from right to left. Certainly one should
not expect a penny -a-iiner to have any,
even not the remOteSt acquaintance with
scientific history, and know that the
Russian alphabet is but a modification
of the old Greek. well adapted to the pc
culiarities and general spirit of the Rus
sian language. which, consequently,
reads from the left 10 the right as do
the French, English, German, in fact,

An Interesting Case.

An interesting case was MP IN Justice
McMillan's court last Monday afternoon.
The facts developed were, that last spring
Monroe Sullivan, a farmer of Franklin
county, borrowed $4,000 from the Com
,nercial Bank, securing the bank 10y a
mortgage on certain tract of land which
he represented as his homestead. Failing
to repay the borrowed money at the time
agreed and refusing to give any satisfac-
ton about it., the bank took Steps to fore
close the mortgage, when it was found
that the land was not SulIivan's home
stead at all, but barren tract not worth
5000.
An affidavit was made against Sullivan
by Mayor Brennan on information, charg.
ing him with obtaining money under false
preteuces, and Justice Mcmillan, after
hearing the testimony, bound him over to
the Circuit Court in the sum of 500.

A Visit to Frank Parsons Place.

The Editor of the LEADER paid very
pleasant visit Monday afternoon to Mr..
Frank Parsons place near Montgomery.
Mr.. Parsons is engaged principally in the
manufacture of lumber, and hasn't made
business of farming or horticulture, yet
lie has quite as much or more to boast of
in this line than any farmer in Lincoln
county. At this season of the year his
orchards, containing the finest variety of
fruit trees. his apIary, and his splendid
vineyards do not show up to their best
advantage, but they are enough even now
to open ones eyes in admiration. He also
has a lot of blooded and graded cattle,
and one of the finest fields of winter oats
We over saw. Originally the lands occu-
pied by Mr.. Parsons as orchards, gardens,
vineyard and farm, were very poor, but
he has brought them up to their pres
ent fine state of fertility, he says, by
blowing in vegetation and always giving
back to the land little more than he
lakes off. He says he does not use COM
mercial fertilizers, because homemade
fertilizers and vegetable mold are cheap
er and better. He makes yearly a large
quantity of the best of wine from his
grapes, which under the State laws he is
allowed to manufacture, and realizes
quite handsome revenue from this
source. He says Lincoln county is better
adapted to grape culture than the North
and West, and equal with California, and
that the wine, so far u quality is concern
ed, would find a ready sale IN Europe
along side of their native wines. Mrs.
Parsons, who is an intelligent aud em-
nently practical lady, manages the horii-
cultural department of the place, and
says it now nets her an average of $500
per day above expenses all the year
round.
We greatly enjoyed our short visit and
are under many obligations to Mr.. Par
SONS for courtesies extended, and we
hope in the future to repeat in when or

their wealth of fruit and foliage.

HYMEN's FRANKS,

They were bent on matrimopy-that
couple from Franklin county last Friday.
They we're not runaway couple, but
just came TO town to get married for the
novelty and convenience Of the thing.
"a pair of licenses was first secured
froM the Circuit Clerk, and then the 9TH
er all-important thing was to get some-
body to tie the golden knot. Justice Nc
MILAN and Mayor Brennan both happen
ell to be ont of town, Supervisor Penn
had the tooth-ache and couldn't work his
jaw, and Idle preachers were as scarce
about that time as live missionaries on
the cannibal islands. The situation was
growing serious, and it began to look af-
ter all as if they would have to start back
with "them licenses" twain as they came.
They had made their headquarters at the
store of Alcas & Meyer, and these young
gentlemen, who are themselves candi-
dates for matrimony and fully capable of
sympaihizing with all lovers in distress,
were taken into their confidence.
About this jnDcturc Rev. f. p. Doug

business, and was sped on the street by
