There is scarcely day comes that
somebody does not say some compli-
mentary word of the watson House,
the old "Sappington HoteP'-as
now kept by Mr.. Elliot. They say
the accommodations are of the best
that the tables groan under supplies
of the most tempting character. We
are pleased to note these things as
told us because nothing more COM
mends town to the average travel
ling public than well-kept hostleries.
There is a handsomely and conven-
iently furnished room for the espe-
ciaI useof travelling suited

This is the season of the year when
a good warm carpet becomes a de-
sirable addition to household effects,
and in this line the old-fashioned rag
carpet still holds sway to a large ex-
tent. Mr.. Jas. a. Watson, of the vi
entity of MiIlyille, is an adept in their
manufacture, and if any of our read
ers desire good rag carpet, he can
fill the bill on short notice and at
reasonable prices. We have seen a
sample of Mr.. Watson's hemp carpet,
which is both pretty and durable,
and well worth an examination.

$40 80 for a shave.

Young John Jacob Aston, Jr., perhaps the
richest youth in the United States it would
seem, from an incident that occurred in a
barber shop the other day. lacks that closeness
in money matters that stood his grandfather in
such good stead when he began the fortune
that the boy is now spending. The barber that
shaved Mr.. Astor, says the New York star, is
remarkable in his weird appreciation of ethics
He would deal honestly with men of ordinary
means. but he has az abnormal socialistic idea
that the millionaire is legitimate prey for him
Therefore he resolved TO get very large price
for shaving young Mr.. Aston if he could manage
it. After finishing his work he brushed Mr.
Astor coat for him with great care. and held
out his hand for the bill that the millionaire
was extracting from a fat roll. Ii is one of Mr..
Aston habits to pay for small items out of one
these huge rolls of bills. Tne barber passed
across the room Co his cash drawer, and then.
returning, handed to MIR. Aston two pieces of
silver. The rich youth looked at the money
and then at the barber
"Wh-wh-wh-y, what's this?" he said
"Change r the dollar you gave me, SIR" re-
Sponded the barber.
But, cawnfaound it, I gave you twenty
dollar BILL
oh no. SIR said the barber. "Only one.
Look in my drawer, if you like, and you'll seq
there's nothing larger than one there
Several of young AStorS friends were with
him, and so he did not like to discuss such a
vulgar question as money He made up his
mind that it was 81 that he had given up and,
jamming his hat over his ears, went for walk
on the avenue. The barber tells about his get
ting $40 80 for single shave.

A nfouemant for Eres Lutte.

Representative Morgan, Of Mississippi,
has introduced bill into the House TO re-
peal the duty on jute and jute bagging. If
this bill should become a law it would be Of
| immense benefit TO cotton farmers. The
alliances in the south should use their in
/ fuence in its behalf 1t wa', of course. re-
I ferred 70 the ways and means committee,
and il that committee report tariff bill
| it may put ju5e on the free list and reduce
the duty on juts bagging. 1t is By no
means certain that it will, however. All
Of the republican members Of it are in favor
Of a high protective tariff, and they are
much more likely 70 listen to the jute bag
ging manufacturers than to growers Of
cotton.
If it had not been for the prohibitOry
tariff on jute bagging, it would not have
been possible to form the corner in jute
bagging, which. during the last two years,
has cost the growers Of cotton in one way,
and another, millions of dollars. There is
no reason why jute should not be
put on the free list. It can be grown in
this cou TRY, it is true, but it cannot be
grown profitably. 1t viii never be cult
waited here until machine is invented that
will decorticate it at less cost than it can
be decorticated by hand in India The duty
on jute, therefore, does not tend to encourage
the growing of jute
OF course the jute bagging manufacturers
object to the removal or even a reduction of
the duty on jute bagging, but if they have
free jute they can, in all probability, manu-
facture iute baggng as cheaply as it can be
manufactured in Europe aud transported to
this country.
The farmers are not benefited by the
tariff. They are injured by it. When con-
greSs has u chance, therefore. to benefit
them by tariff legislation it ought not to
hesitate about doing So IL there is no way
OF giving them assistance by means of
high protective tariff they should at least be
helped when that can be done by repeating
or reducing the tariff burden.
The southern alliances should assist their
congressman in securing the passage of this
bill of Mr.. Morgan's. In view of the high
price of cotton aud Of the loss in weight of
cotton bales covered with cotton bagging,
that kind of bagging cannot be used with
profit Jute is the cheapest material yet
found for covering cotton bales, and the
government ought to help the cotton farm
ers to get it as oheaply as possible

Senator Blackburn's Nightmare.
Fi,om the Ne1p York SIM.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 1i.-Joe Blackburn has lust
been reelected to the United States Senate.
While he was out in the state visiting the legis-
lators he arrived one event q at q small villag "a
with only one hotel 1t was a railroad town,
and most of the rooms in the hotel were occu-
pied by railroad men. There was only one
vacant apartment, and that was to be occupied
by an engineer who might come at any time
Blackburn was tired and sleepy, and said he
would occupy the room and take the chances
Some time in the night the senator was
awakened by the thrusting of bright lantern
into his face Somebody seized him by the
shoulders, gave him a tremendous shake, and
a coarse, gruif voice exclaimed:
Get up Lanky. you've got TO go out on No
9 Skinnys already gone on No, Z, an the or
der Is Tor you TO follow. Shortys goin' to make
the pow or for you, and Sandy Jim is going to
do the figurin in the back end"
AS such language was strange to the senator
he concluded 1t must b. nightmare turned
over, and was dropping off to sleep again when
be was shaken TWO OF three times, dragged out
of bed, and dropped on the floor.
mo you doutm exclaimed the intruder:
that won't wash, Lanky. Tn not going TO
lose my job for you. If leave you here you'll
go back to bed, thinking you'll only snooze a
minute, and of course you'll get LETT Then
they'll fire me for not calling you No, there
come on. | hear old No. 9 growing now.
Hurry upi''
What in - do you suppose know or care
about No 9?'' exclaimed the senator.
What arr we givin' me?" answered the in
truder. i've had em tell me that before when
they were sleepy and didn't want to go.''
Tnen the nigho watchman, for 1t was he and
he had taken the senator for the engineer
whom he was to awake, thrust the lantern into
Mr. Blackburn face He recognized his mis-
take, and knew the senator, and was for a
moment aghast. He quickly recovered himself
and said: II
f'Tne only ariolbkysI have to offer is this"
As he spoke helJulled out small pocket flask
and hande it TO the senator. The latter took a
draught, smiled affably. said the apology was
sufficient, and went back to slumber
