these Old veterans arc fast passing away, or
giving unmistakable evidence, Of failing

ginned and sold as fast rs possible. The
experience Of most farmers is that the
sooner it is sold the better it i, for them.
We have notice n good deal in the papers
about the people leaving Goudeyville aud
DraytonvilIe townships and going t. the
factories. We can't ray thu this is an ex-
ceptional year in thi, particular. More or
less Of the moving off and moving back is
going on ell the time. Some people can't
stay in one place long at a time.
We hope our people will not let til, sea-

Employ the Girls.

We have before us very interesting let
ter from on estimablc Lady friend, in which
she makes n strong plea for the employment
of young L,dics ns clerks in stores, particu-
larly in Dry Gools stores.
We are pleased to fad that The fa ,cs Of
Ladies' behind the counters of stores in the
South is becoming very popular. In Green
vile, We believe, one grocery store has
Lady clerks, and the employer seems to be
delighted with them. In this town. Ladies
arc employed as clerks in the millinery de-
p,rIments of Graham Sparxs and J. W.
Mcclure, and in the Dry GIois department
OF Messrs Foster Wilkins s. Co.'S store,
there is a young lady clerk.
AT the North the most respectable young
Ladies are employed as Clerks in all the
Dry Goods, Notion, Fancy and Confectionery
stores, and character is now the passport to
such positions, making the occupation
hghiy respectable.
In many printing Offices, the best COM
pOsitors ure Ladies', and we would not OBJ.
ject TO haviog a young lady apprentice to
set type for the TINES.

Es1- The recent misunderstanding be
tween the Town Council and the Alliance
has, no doubt, PRODUCED an unfavora bic
ioeling toward our cotton market, and il will
require much caution and some libcrality ON
The part Of our buyers and business men to
overcome ii.
as our correspondent, Kclton Wheel, says,
tho unfortunate difficulty "hns crippled
Union to some extent. no matter if they do
come to compromise" and We know,
from personal conversations with nrmers
that such Is the case with MANY upiustlv
PrJudicci individuals in the country, who
are ever reniy to give the town n block
charges. nnd pooh, pooh, at them, rs coming
from persons without influence; but be this
rs il may, Union cannot afford to lose any
trade, and it seems to us that the busin css
men of the town would exhibit n proper
spirit in the matter by getting together and
adopting some plan, even if it costs few
on Got to injurc the business of the town.
If | or cent advance will bring tho cot
ton to thi, market, it would pay the mer-
chants handsomely to unite i'll making the
buyers whole. to that amount. This course
proved very cifectual in other markets in
years past and We remember it cnticcd
thousand dollars of trade from this town.

That's about the Aim and End

Two weeks ago we noticed q report that
State Lecturer John II. Jcffcrics was after
Congressman q. W. Shells sent, and then
stated That MIR. Jefferies lived in Hon. J. J.
licmphills district. We, however, had our
suspicions aroused at that time, by being
asked "why Mr.. Jcfferies was so mnch more
attentive t. the Alliance people of the 9th
Congressional District than he was TO the
people o! his II county who could not vote
in the 9th district" IL did look a little
strange to us, but then we thought Mr. JEFF

Mr.. Hcmphilr's District were not 30 well
posted on Alliance delegations as those In
Mr.. Shells district aud required great deal
more lccturing, so, like n faithful officer,
he spent his time where his services were

not. The step which the council io,k fsw
