be truly and piously said "that
none knew her but to love her,"
In return, by her children and
grandchildren, she was loved in an
extraordinary degree, and it will be
long before the chill of her absence
and loss shall pass from their hearts.

Be to their virtues e er kind
And to their faulS a little blind

WE are surprised that the editor of
the Mt. Olive Telegram, living as near
as he does to Wilmington, does not
know who to credit the bright editori-
al work on the Star to. If we have
been correctly informed, Maj. P. F.
Duffy is the man. And although Mr..
Kingsbury was alluded to as the " asso-
ciate editor" when he retired from the
Star few months ago, every reader
of that paper knew that he had been
the making of 1.-THE life of it, indeed
for the last dozen years. The GOLD
LEAF believes in giving credit where
credit is due, hence these remarks by
way of preface to the following bit of
rhyme from the Telegram
William H: Bernard of The Star, is a
''honey."
His puns last Sunday were exceedingly
funny.
His aim at puns is true, without fail,
And he is far better at this than shooting
the quail.
Ten years ago in the finest of weather,
Quail all around him, not even feather,
A fine Parker gun with Dot and Dash,
He returned to his Sanctum both empty
and RASH

The JOhnStOwn Disaster.

1t is nothing unusual for newspapers to
print very full reports of extraordinary
events, but they seldom publish elegant
books. The Harrisburg, Pa, Telegram,
however, has in preparation an elaborate
history of the great disaster at Johnstown
to appear shortly in a sumptuous volume
The work will be written by the editor of
the paper, from personal knowledge and a
thorough acquaintance with the subject
and the district. 1t will embody various
features necessarily omitted by earlier
publications and be the only accurate de-
scription of the terrible calamity that de-
stroyed thousands of human lives. Many
portraits and views, engraved by the most
eminent artists from original drawings and
photographs, will be special feature
Nothing will be spared to ensure the high
est literary and artistic elegance. Then
the net proceeds from the sales of the work
will be applied for the benefit of the print
ers, orphan children and aged men and
women who suffered by the flood. We
heartily commend the project to the pub
lie, and bespeak an immense demand
for the book. 1t will be well for local
canvassers to secure an agency at once as
the book will be sold by subscription.
The work is endorsed by Gov Beaver, of
Pennsylvania, Hon. John A. Fritchev.
Mayor of Harrisburg, Robert G.. Ogden.
Member of the Relief Commission, Gen.
". ii. Hastings, Adjudant General of the
State, Irwin Horrell, Burgess of Johns

desire an agency, should write at once for

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

The Baltimore Union says the South
is better off as respects material wealth
than tor many years past. Its social,
intellectual, moral and political condi-
ton has improved, it is believed, at an
almost equal rate. The white popula
ton, not having been affected by i'm
migration, is American still to the
backbone, and is animated by senti-
ments of devotion to constitutional
government which render the South
the conservative element of the Union.
Its growth in wealth, in culture, in
population and political influence is,
therefore, in the interest of free instl-
tutlons, to be desired by the whole
country.

The Smithfld Herald publishes the
following, which We commend to the
earnest consideration of the citizens
of this town as we'll as others:
When stranger enters your midst
to make his home do not be the first
to point him out as an object that
would bear watching, but carefully OBJ
serve the associates he chooses, and you
can then Judge accurately of the char
acter of the man. There is no possible
hope for town to grow and thrive if
the citizens give the outside world the
idea that strangers are not welcome.
Be kind and hospitable to tEose who
seek homes among you; perhaps you
may not agree in all things, but
Be to their virtues e er kind
And to their faulS little blind:
remembering that all of US are apt to
be unfavorable critics if we should
happen not to like person. 1t is one
of the duties Of a good citizen to see
that each stranger is courteously treat
