Prolific Stock.

Mr.. ]. W. McCord, of Eggville,
who takes great pride in fine stock,
informs us that a sow of his has
bred 35 pigs in 3 Filters within the
past twelve months. All lived but
two. The SOW, which is a cross
between Poland China and Berk-
shire, is remarkable breeder, and
her pigs do well.

HON. B. A. ENLoE.
He Makes an Eloquent Talk TO the
Citizens of Benton.

Congressman B. A. Enloe arriv-
ed in the CITY Sunday afternoon,
and as soon as his presence here
became generally known Monday
morning, his many friendsand con-
stituents urged him to deliver an
address on the issues of the day.
Assured by Judge Woods that he
would in no way interfere with the
proceedings of court, Mr.. Enloe
yielded to the friendly solicitations,
and in the afternoon Hon. John P.
Lashlee, in few appropriate and
well-chosen words, presented him
to the large crowd which had as
sembled at the courthouse. For
two hours he addressed our people
in the interest of Democracy and
good government. His 'denuncia-
ton of Reed and the force bill was
terrific. He took up the discus
cussion of the measures acted upon
by Congress, and the position tax
EN- by Democrats in opposition to
the enactment of partisan measures
by the Republican majority. He
convinced his hearers thatthisyacts
have always been justified by Dem
ocratic principles and precedents
which years of experience and oh.
servation have taught andconvinc.
ed him,,to bets the best interests Of
the people. He illustrated the eff
feet of the operation of the tariff
laws in the interest of the few anC
to the detriment of the mass of the
people. His practical Illustrations
from history the evil effects which
have resulted from measures SINH
Aarto the sub-treasury scheme were
plain and convincing to all present
He advised close adherence tt
the principles of the ilEustrion
Jefferson and is willing to risk tn,
Democratic party and policies TO
the relief Of the oppressed condi
ton Of the people. While thi
country is yet far from the condi
tions of equity and justice, at whicl
the Democratic party aimed, h
has faith in the American peopl
that they will, by united effort il
the lines followed by the Democrat
ic party seon realize these condi
tons and reforms demanded.
His speech was only interrupte,
by applause, and old Democrat
said it was the best speech the
ever heard in Benton County.

Christmas Gathering.

On invitation of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarl
| Whelan, of Shiawassee, about fifty OF thell
relatives and friends assembled in theii
spacious home on Christmas day, to cele
brate the birth of Christ, and to partake OF
their generous hospitality. AS the guests
arrived they found that rich Christmas
feast, both physical and intellectual had
been prepared for them. In the parlor was
a mammoth Christmas tree well laden with
fruit, and many useful as well as
ornamental articles, from childish toy to
two elegant ladies' gold watches. During
the distribution of presents more Joyous
assemblage could scarcely be found. After
dinner John and Miss Edith Whelan favor
ed the company with an instrumental duel
and two songs which were very fine. Then
Frank Whelan read the following original
poem: r.
merry, merry Christmas,
Hear IL echo DER the sea and the land;
To earth's remotest boundary,
Where'er dwells poor mortal man.
This same triumphant greeting
From the aged and youth alike
AS the song birds echoing music
Seems an outburst of delight.
But there mingles regrets and sadness
Fen WIN lie = sweetest JOY
Which proves what has oft been written
There is no cup without its alloy.
AS sit in the deepening twilight
OF the years that cannot last
And think of the joys and pleasures
That are treasured with the past.
There comes at my hearts own bidding
From life's far away blissful morn
The voices Of merry children
On the breezes. of evening borne.
And again as in years that have vanished
Years that were free from care
stand in the dear old homestead,
Mid the pleasures that clustered there
I can see my greyhaired sire,
With his look serenely calm,
And my mother with hurry and hustle
AS we listened for the Christmas chime.
can hear the gathering footsteps
OF brothers and sisters all.
AS with hearts overlooking with gladness,
We answered the Christmas call.
Oh, how the years have impeded
The hearts impulsive flow
OF joys that leaped from its fountains
In the blissful long ago.
oh, how the footsteps loiter,
That once were so light and free;
Oh, how the cheeks are furrowed,
Once so soft and velvety.
Where are the dreams that have vanished {,
The castles we builded in air?
Why are our hearts not broken,
Why not now yield to despair?
IT'S because of a blessed revelation,
That is written upon every hand,
or q glorious resurrection
For the universal man.
Howl on We bleak winds of winter,
And cover the daisies low
But remember the springtime is coming,
And the sunlight can melt the snow.

with which this system has been
adopted in every part OF the Union IS
without a parallel in the history OF re
