A book called "The Life ana
Death of Jefferson Davis" edit
ed by A. c. Bancroft and pub
lished by J. s. Ogilvie, is being
widely circulated. While many
complimentary things are said
of Mr.. Davis to blind the un-
suspecting reader, yet the COW
ert object Of the book is TO dam
age and belittle the majestic
fallen chieftain and the great
principles for which he ever
conteDded. The hook is a fail
ure and farce. Let no South
ern man give it recognition.
The author of this book is not
the historian Bancroft.

Christmas, 1889, was phenon-
inal--an accident of the season,
the warmest 25th of December
on record. The tune of ever
green's and icicles gave way for
balmy weather and spring time.
The good cheer that usually
abounds around the cheerful
fireside gave way for a sun bath
and an outdoor romp. The as
tonished mercury rushed up to
65 degrees and grumbled with
the calendar that it had things
mixed up; the calendar protest
ed that it was right, but that
the clerk Of the weather had
Lost his grip on "Old Soils"
throttle valve. But old Santa
Clause was in great luck. In
stead of facing the driving snow
and pelting rain and sleet on
Christmas eve, he had a delight
full moonlight, summer nights
ride and no smoking chimneys
to blind him in his descent.
The weather bureau was so
partial to US during the Samp-
son Fair that we are disposed
not to gIumble at any of it's ex-
centricities,i but we must admit
that the novelty of this weather
amounts to an innovation on
on time honored custom, and
one that is to be deplored, if
Longfellow was right when he
said that winter never rots in
the skies. For if the usual
amount Is to come from not out
1t means a cold late spring, with
the chances in favor of another
poor crop year.
Let us hope that we are no
prophet and that providence has
o kinder fate in store for US.
