The Boy that Advertised.

About the year 1850, a rough
looking, gawky country boy,
who thought there was some
thing better to do than plod
along between the plow handles,
left his home and in his home
spun clothes wended his way to
the city of Winchester, Va,
and sought employment. <He
roughed it around a store for
awhile, in the days when it was
uncommon to ask people to buy
and almost a sin to advertise
ones business. The boy chafed
under restraint and determined
to do something for himself ;lnd
in his own way. He scraped to-
gether a few dollars, rented u
small room and placed in it such
a stock of odds and ends, as his
money would purchase. Every
body laughed and said the boy
was crazy. But Charley did
not stop to listen to the croak-
ers--he rushed to the printing
Office, and caused the editor TO
elevate his spectacles and take
the second look, when he de-
manded a half column space
then 1000 posters and 5000
dodgers. But he got them and
turned them loose, and he went
back to his store and began
businesss, first with an auction
every night--later on day and
night, and the printer was kept
busy till Charley Rouss was
heard of and know everywhere
as the man who was almost
giving goods away. For years
this business went on, increas-
ing and prospering, till the
young man made a fortune.
Last year the Winchester
papers had a glowing account
of the banquet given by the
city dignitaries in honor of their
visitor, "Charley Rouss, a New
York millionair, who had done
so much for the upbuilding of
their CITY,"
This was the boy that ad-

Out In the Cold II

The Legislature of Georgia
having refused to accept the
home for disabled confederate
Isoldiers which the citizens of
Atlanta had provided at a cost
of 100000, the directors, of that
institution have determined to
close its doors, and the poor old
manned veterans will have to
stay out in the cold until anoth-
er Legislature meets. 1t is
charged, with what truth we
cannot say, that the members
of the Georgina legislature re-
fused to make the appropria-
tion that would have been ne.
cessary to meet the running ex-
penses of the home for disabled
Confederates because they
thought that their action would
be- criticised by some of the Al
lance leaders in the Northwest.
II this is true, the spectacle is
one which we never expected
te see in the South, "a Southern
legislature afraid to provide for
"a few MANNED soldiers who
fought for the South becaase
they did not want to wound the
feelings of the Northern soldi-
ers in Kansas and other North
ern and Western States on

ing more than 500, 200, 600 a
year in pensions. Whether
this was the cause of the action
of the Georgia legislature or
whether they turned the old
veterans out in cold on account
of a sudden spasm of economy,
it is very likely that the people
of Georgia will send to the next
legislature men of different
views. The people of the North
will despise the cowardice or
the niggardliness of the Georgia
legislature in this matter just
as thoroughly aswill the people
OF the South.-Morganton Her

THE .KING" SNAKE STORY.


IL
Ga, and ItTaIxes the Prize.
A special from Crawfordville,
Ga, says that about one month
ago. in Morgan county, while a
man and his wife were sitting
out on the veranda late one af-
ternoon, their attention was
|attracted hy the appearance of
d large king snake.on the steps
q few feet away. They We're
perfectly quiet, and the snake
crawied up the stepsl'until IL
reaohed the top; then il held its
head up, as much as to,say:
"Can I come in?''
They were perfectly still, and
the snake took 1t for granted
that the silence gave consent,
so 1t proceeded to enter the ball
and crawled leisurely along un-
til it reached a bedroom where
the door stood open. II entered
the door, making its way under
the bed. Here the king snake
pounced on a large rattle snake
that had cooled itself around
the bed-springs. After a dead
vi struggle with this monster
rattler the king snake went out
in the yard and got some kind
of weed to kill the poisonous
bites. After taking the medi-
cine the king snake returned
to the house and continued the
battle until the rattle snake was
killed. IL was five feet in.
length and had nine rattles.

This incident has been recall
ed by the sad experience Of
Judge West, of Ohio, at Pitts

known as the eloquent blind

The Candidate season.

There is q time for all things
and some things all the time.
Emphatically this is the cam
didate season, the time when in
cubation has reached it's final
state and the bird Of political
promise is pecking vigorously
at his shell. Soon he comes
forth a full-fiedged candidate
for Office, takes naturally TO the
buttonholes of his fellow citi-
zens and he is placed In the
hands of his friends who soon
inaugurate a boom and set it
afioat with the hundreds of 9TH
er big and little booms that fieck
the horizon and obscure the
vision.
The candidate season comes
before elections, no postpone
ment on account Of weather and
always a prolific crop whether
the atmospheric conditions be
good, bad or merely indifferent.
Previous to the time of a nation
al and State election coming to-
gether the candidate season
falls earlier and the crop is won-
derfnlly exuberant, cumbering
the highways and byways OF
the country and the allsyways
of the cities. One Of the pre-
negatives Of American citiznen
ship which is most scrupulously
guarded and devoutly exercised
by every free born and cmanci-
.pated citizen is that he may as
pire quietly or yociferously to
any Office within the gift of the
nation. When one Of these free
born or emancipated citizens
places himself in the hands Of
his friends il is an infallible
sign of the pure patriot permit
ting the Office TO seek the man
while his friends are insisting
that he is the man.

the enterprise out Of its pecun-

commissioners have indorsed

company in deciding to apply

form Of a gift, as the country
is now fully committed to the

not TO be too exacting as TO the
character of the appropriation.
Its amount will depend upon
the size of the treasury surplus,

action comes to be taken.

What q Je,ly-Cake bid.

We read an amusing account
in the New York Advertiser of
what that paper styles a jelly
cakewar, at Springfield, Iii. The
account goes on to state, upon
its advices, that a boot and shoe
firm offered a five -hundred-dol-
lar piano as a special premium
for the best jelly cake, and 600
Sangamon County women en-
tered cakes in the contest.
After sitting on the jelly cakes
lin a strictly judicial sense, of
course-the Committee, with an
righteousness which could
only have been superinduced by
indigestion, awarded the piano
to Mrs. Sam Willet, whose cake
was chiefly composed of angels
food, and, therefore, open to the
charge of not being strictly in
the jelly-cake class. But what
did the Committee, full of jelly
and angel cake, know or care
about this? The angel cake,
with its layers of jelly alternat-
ing from turret to foundation
stone, SO to speak. was fair to
look upon, and the Committee
fell a victim to its wiles. The
500 women who had construct
cd real jelly cakes were loud in
their protest. They denounced
the aligel-food cake, despite its
celestial name, as a deceitful
and devilish device. One lady,
well up on topics of the track,
denounced Il as a ringer and
entered, with the others, a for
NAL protest against the decision
Of the Jelly Cake Committee,
the members of which had by
this time won the title of the

Thus the matter rests, if the
word rests" is not wholly out
of place in describing a situation
where excitement and unrest
hold sway from one end of San
CANON County to the other.
The whole country is being
secured for expert evidence as
towhat constitutes a jelly cake.
Delmonico's testimony has been
sought by telegraph, and as it
has a leaning toward the Mrs.
Sam W illet cake, some Spring
field man may again be obliged
to call out the troops. - i
