The medcrn tendency rs to extremes in
everything. But the tendency is not so
modern after all. Pope said: "Slan is q |
pendulum betwixt a smile and tear" He |
is now pendulum hctwixt loud laugh
and a melancholy howl.
There are all sorts of political evils
abroad in the land. Every class is pinchcd
by some custom or law. Those who study
their own conditions, rs matter of course
learn more about their own wrongs, than
they do about those OF others. All classes
in this southern country are SO closely idcn-
lied with agriculture that they all know that
he farmers have not had q fair deal When
the whole situation is viewed, it is very
clear that farm products arc unjustly tax
ed. This has been done by slcight Of hand
through the protective tariff. This is. the
root Of the evils from which We suffer.
Political agitators have gone TO great ex-
tremes In putting this before the country
as depressing the farmer alone. All who
arc trying to make all honest living in the
South arc equally oppressed, but-the leai-
crs arc radically different as to the remedy.
They talk, and preach, and write against
each other rs if they were respective, .sml;;
1ec.s OF hos'i!s-croT They go alike to
rlolc1i6us extremes in charging each 9TH
cr with sclf-sccking dishonesty and corrup-
tion. Consideration on the part of each
might lead them to the conclusion that the
other is actuatcd by some other possible or
probable motive. 1t is common nowadays
to act more OH impulse than judgement.
1t is not impossible for men to differ hon
cstly. One may be better educated in his
line. lie may have studied more, and had
better opportunities to learn Of his side of
the question than his opponent. Much
harm often comes of not halting to take
this view Of the question. One who spends
all his time in thinking of his side of the
question is sure to go to an extreme and it
is not surprising that he thinks his oppon-
ents dishonest. Common sense and reason
teach conservatism. Passion and prejudice
make extremists.

the membership Of the order had fallen of
over thirty per cent in the past year. The

one seventh of the voters and as consc-

controlling the next election. The increas-

tied and the dresses crowded when hung
then they should be folded, as anything i,
better than the 'stringy" look which
dresses crowded together in q small closet
or wardrobe soon acquire. If a dress Of
wooden material has any drapery, it vii

If the skirt is always bottom upward.
With little practice and care this will
be easily done and the creases prevented
which come so quickly even in the best of
materials from the folds hanging always
the same way, both when in wear and when
not.
Never sit in damp dress if it can be
avoided, for nothing so successfully creases
it. 1t should at once be taken off and hung
in good position to dry. Careful atten,
ton should always be paid to dress braids
and facings. If braid is replaced as soon
as it commences to wear the facing will in
many instances be saved.
A dress braid should always be put on
by hand, and in most instances ''rolled on -
If sewn on by machine more time is con
sumed in ripping it off when it requires re
placing than in both sewing ON and rip.

THE PEMBROKE MURDER.
Bodie Burrus Was Killed by Henry Bur-
rus, His Cousin.

The LEAF CHRONICLE Of Satur-
day contained mention of the killing
OF Bodle Burrus, of Pembroke,
Christmas eve night. 1t has since
been ascertained that he was killed
by 9. II. BurrUs, his second cousin,
and also his brother-in-law. There
were no witnesses to the deed. The
murderer surrendered to the author
tiles at HOpkinsvllle yesterday, and
acknowledged committing the deed.
In his examining trial Burrus testi-
fled in substance that in July last
his sister went to Paducah to visit
relatives. She was met there by
BOdle Burrus, who returned home
with her; on the way he gave her
a glass of drugged wine and then
accomplished her ruin. The matter
was kept quiet until recently by
threats from him. AS soon as the
defendant heard of it he sWore he
would avenge the wrong with blood.
Meeting the seducer Thursday night
an alteration took place, in which
Bodie was shot three times. Two
balls passed through his body. He
ran a few yards and fell dead. The
prisoners bond was fixed at So, 500.
He is about twenty years of age and
unmarried.

Playing With the Law.

A funny case came up yesterday
evening. Max and Frank Levin, Of
the GAINESVILLE Liquor Store, were
about selling out the concern, when
B. S. LOventhall, of Nashville, who
had sold them liquors, appeared on
the scene a little too late for an at
tachment suit to do any good, and
he sWOre out warrant and had the
Levins arrested and jailed on a
charge of obtaining goods under
false pretenses. LOventhall seemed
to be enjoying the situation to the
full value of his debt, having lots OF
fun, when the sheriffappeared with a
warrant sworn out by the Levins,
charging him with trying to extort
money illegally. Loventhall, how
ever, was able to give bond and
keep out of Jail. Both cases will be
tried before Squire Smith some time
to day.
The trial of the Levins was con-
cluded about O'Clock this afternoon,
The defendants were discharged, the
proof being insufficient to hold them
The Levins showed that they owed
no other debt on their stock save that
due LoventhalI u Co., about 5000,
and that their stock invoiced over
81 200, and that they had no purpose
to defraud their creditor, but
could not realize on the stock imme-
diately. Moreover the debt was not
due until the first of January.
LoventhalPs case comes up this
evening on the charge of extorting
money and false imprisonment and
it looks tough for him, the other fell
lows having come clear.
