some time since you have heard anything
from Packsvi!le.
The cotton season is about over, and low
prices left the farmers in debt.
Packsville in now quite q business place.
We have eight stores, two steam gins, and
two cane mills. I think about eighteen
hundred gallons of syrup has been manu-

I had the pleasure of attending confer
ence meeting of the Home Branch Baptist
church Saturday. After excluding five
members for drinking, cursing. and swear
ing, they adopted a resolution to exclude
any member that takes drink of intoxi-
eating liquors as beverage. That is what
all our chuches need-a line drawn between
professors Of religion and the world, to
keep our members on one side or the other.
hope all other Christian churches will fol-
low suit after the noble old Home Branch.
That will be tie greatest revival of religion
that has ever been since my time, to get
drunkards out Of our churches. J. j. b.

Buttons Farewell to F0restOn.

!, The sun is sinking royalty to rest behind
the western clouds as we wander through
the town. Nature is still supreme IN her
gorgeous beauty, her crimson dyes, her
golden fields, and rich foods OF light, which
lovingly kiss the pine forests, the distant
hills, the soft green valleys, the roofs of the
quiet village, and the towers Of its modest
churches There is the cemetery, with its
marble the glittering shaft, and the white
slab, bearing their tablets of peaceful lives.
Beneath the sod rest the weary heads, and
the folded hands, in sweet oblivion Of life's
fierce battles, of the mad, surging tide OF
rancor, humiliation, and the sordid, soul
less sway of mammon.
Voices from that inner rworld-memory-
call to US as We wander over the wide, des.
olate wastes Of the present, and unseen
hands are reckoning to US to 90 back to
those scenes so interviewer with the destl-
ny of some whose names make music in
our heart. There is ia petite" brunette,
whose eyes fash AID beam, as caprice or
emotion seizes her. There the fairy blonde
who looked so dangerously pretty at the
cracker ball on Tuesday night.
Now, the staturesque repose OF Miss
awakens our sincere admiration. Those
eyes of hazel gray reveal the immaculate
purity of sterling character, OF lntiexlble
will, lofty aspirations, and stroog, fervent.
religious principles; We exult in the con-
sciousness that her name is engraven deep
ly on our heart as friend.
All! We sigh when we think of a future
which will tear Us from the many flowers
clustering around our path. Here are
Roses and Daisies and Olives, with all the
inherited sweetness of their floral name
sakes Here are names also which have
adorned the pages of classical fiction and
the drama--Blanches, Ethlyns, Augustus,
JAMES, Coras. Paulines, Margarets, Al
leines, Lulus, and one immortal in song
Juanita. Thereeare, besides, mu!titudes of
lesser deities, Zaydas, lnez, Florides. Fan
MES, GertrudeS, and Willies. each presiding
in turn over our young affections, and all
playing their part in this tender romance.
Oh, iron hand of destiny! Bear lightly on
this poor waif, this "nurSliDg Of the storm.
Yet, as we glance around the spell IS
broken, the charm dissolved. The future
is ours; on its unwritten pages we hope to
open history in letters that glow. We
sever the ties of to-day oaly to mend the
broken links tomorrow We leave bright
scenes behind US to greet them again where
we 60.
In our mental peregrinations we make
the discovery that our greatest danger is
our weak, cowardly heart. We soliloqulze
softly, Button, old fellow, forgetfulness is
your best policy; quaff the chalice of Le-
thean wine which the future holds to your
lips"
And now, with this toast we bid farewell
to the friendly columns of The TIMES:
Heres smile to those who love me,
And smile to those who hate me,
And whatever sky's above me,
Here's health to thee, old TINES,
And happy new year to the editor.

AoUEsTIoNABLELAW

A QUESTIONABLE LAW.
The recent action of grand jury in
New York in handing in bill of indict-
ment against leading metropolitan
journal, which, contrary to a recently
enacted statute, published in full the
story of the execution of four murder
ers, by electricity, suggests the query,
Has the State right to assume censor
ship of the presto dictate as to the
manner in which editors shall serve up
the news to their readers ? The cOnsti-
tuition of New York State guarantees to
its citizens freedom of speech and the
freedom of the press. In some mon
archical countries, the speech of the peo-
pie and the utterances of the press are
trammeled by censorship which, while
it may prevent public utterance of GER
tain sentiments, does not stamp out the
spirit that prompts their utterance. The
enactment of law IN New York curtail-
ing the rights of editors in the matter of
executions of murderers, limits them to
space of five lines-barely enough to
announce the fact that the executions
have taken place. 1t is easy to see the
intent of the law, and to understand the
spirit which prompted its enactment. 1t
is founded on the assumption that the
publication of the details of executions
has tendency to corrupt public morals;
that the tendency further is to familiar
ize those who would become criminals
with the awful machinery of death, and
thus make it seem less terrible. Such
assumptions were the foundations of
laws which abolished public executions,
and provided for lin sense) secret ju-
dicial inf1iction of the death penalty;
and the halo of heroism that in the
minds of certain sentimentalists sur
rounded publicly-executed victims of
the law was greatly diminished. The
picture of Jack Sheppard going to his
merited doom, surrounded by women
weeping at his fate, and bearing a nose
gay presented by one of them, certainly
is not one to inspire in man whose
moral tendency is to criminal life the
awe which the infliction of the death
penalty was intended to inspire.
Whether or not the assumption of the
New York ''gag-law'' is correct, it seems
there is reasonable ground for question
ing its constitutionality; and this test is
to be made in the trial which will follow
the indictment referred to. Should the
case be decided adversely to the news
papers, it is difficult to see where the
line may be drawn in State censorship
of the press. Certainly, if this law,
which regulates only one of many mat
tiers i'll which the State is party at in
terest, is sustained, it is difficult to say
that laws may not be enacted prohibit
ing newspapers from commenting upon
the conduct of the prisons, the institu-
lions for the insane, the canals, or any
other matter of which the State has con-
troll. Whatever may be the spirit of the
law, its tendency is certainly wrong; and
those who believe in freedom of the
press, OF in freedom of speech, will hope
that the law with its censorial tendency
may be overthrown.-Wdtchmdn

assessments have already been called and
there are only S1O6,O3O in hand toward
obligations amounting to S900,S25.
There is nothing very exuberant in this
in this outlook, but for administering
this business the managers absorbed
SSS,355 in Expense" during the six
months. These are but specimen
figures of the kind of which the report
is full. Altogether, it is melancholy
picture which the report affords of I'M
scrupulous avarice on the one side and
of pitiful credulity on the other.
In contrast with the figures above
given of the endowment orders of Massa-
chusetts may be cited the returns of the
building societies of any State or city
where these benefcient institutions have
been put in operation. The latest
official returns of the New Jersey build
ing societies show that there are now
254 of them, with 71,726 members, of
whom nearly one-fourth are women.
These societies have issued 437,778
S22, 466, 800, or more than $50 per share.
A great deal of money is paid out every
year on account of Withdrawing or ma
tured shares, but the annual income
reaches nearly 100000. The average
yearly expense account of the societies
is 1884 each. These building societies,
as the Boston Journal well says, make
genuine investments. They assist in
building up communities with neat
dwellings. They help their members to
the ownership Of homes, and the men,
bers who borrow, in common with those
who do not, share the profit of the trans
actions. It strikes us that this is
good deal better than playing a blind
game with the originators and managers
of irresponsible schemes, who have the
whole course of the game in their own
hands, and can at any moment compel
the other participants to forfeit every
dollar they have put in. Thousands of
deluded certificate holders in the get
rich-easy companies, who are now clam
oring for their long overdue certificates,
will, we are confident, agree with us in
this view. And then there are the saw
ings banks in which one may deposit
ones money, with reasonable assur-
ance of being able to get it again, with
interest, when wanted" The Belfast
Loan and Building Association has been
successfully established, but the advan-
tages it offers both to the investor and
borrower should be more largely availed
of.-BeFaSt, Me-, Journal.

A BURGLAR CAPTURED.

sides on Main Street, was awakened by
hearing glass break. On getting out of
bed he received blow on the head. He
Immediately grappled with the burglar,
and after terrible struggle succeeded
in holding him until his wife obtained
help. On being searched at the station,
Mr.. Woods watch and wallet was
found on his person. He gave the name
of Robert Terry. The broken glass
proved to be bottle of Sulphur Bitters
which had almost cured Mrs. Wood of
rheumatism.-Erchdnge.
