misfortune which has come to them.
Ex-senator Edmunds has been in
Washington the present week, and his
many friends in Vermont and else
where will be pleased to learn that he
is looking exceedingly well. In the
course of talk with the correspond
ent of the Boston Transcript, Mr.. Ed
munds said: II am not only enjoying
the full pleasures of the inalienable
rights of American citizenship, ,untram
meled by the servitude of public sta
ton, but / am in better health than
I have been for a long time. I find
that the latitude OF South Carolina is
best suited to the health of Mrs. Ed
munds and my daughter, and there
fore there we shall pass most of the
winter and possibly all of it. The rig
OrOus climate of Vermont is too trying
in winter, but we can not say too
much in its favor in summer. am
not giving much attention to politics
just now, and do not know whether l
shall again. Our public men permit
themselves to be too much absorbed
by their public duties, to the exclusion
of their obligations to have some re-

reation and health. .''-Free Press.
The report of the inspector of fl
nance shows that the savings institu-
tiOns and trust companies of this state
hold deposits to the amount of S31, ,620,
SOB, an increase during the last year
of S2, ,289, ,738. OF the aggregate sum,
%, ,317, $50 is held by nOn-residents
The number of resident depositors is
81 1893; non resident, s, ,309; aggregate,
72,7O2, an increase during the year of
6,943. Dividends to depositors amount
to S642 1892, an increase of S51, 764. The
dividends range from four to four and
one-half per cent. The amount loan
ed on mortgage of real estate in Yer
mont is 81, 668, ,499; on mortgages of
real estate elsewhere, sc, ,066, $50. The
table of western mortgage investment
shows that these institutions had in
this class of securities in 1879, 81, ,278,
399, and that the amount has increas-
ed year by year till in 1891 the aggre
gate sum has reached SO, ,066, $50, or
nearly double the amount loaned in
Vermont. The student of Vermont's
condition will find in these figures some
explanation of the slow growth and
development of the states material
interests The eight million dollars
contributed to the building up of
Western towns and industries, invest

mighty impulse forward. And there

Now is the Time.

Yes, now is the time to adver-
tise. Business men are getting
ready for the fall trade. Fresh
goods in every branch of business
are being laid in, and they are for
sale. The way to do now is to let
the people know what goods you
have and what you have them for.
Don't depend merely upon those
that know you and are acquainted
with your establishment, but ap-
peal to the public at large for their
patronage, and do it through the
columns of the newspapers.
You cannot do business success
fully without Advertising, and you
know it. Those whose success
has been the greatest are the ones
who have advertised the most
This is an established fact which
is verified every day, and no one
will deny it.
Bring in your fall and winter
advertisements now. The REcoRI
is one of the best advertising med
iu1n in the county and scores ol
persons have realized this fact
Bring in your advertisement at

A BIOGRAPHY.

We acknowledge receipt of a
copy of the Centenary, an excellent
illustrated paper published at
Florence, S. c. Among many brief
sketches and portraits of prominent
business men in the South we find
the following comment on Mr.. 4.
P. Freeman, of Arkansas, who is
uncle to S. ]. and o. S. Freeman of
PasSaic:
Mr.. q. P. Freeman was born in Pratts-
vile, Greene County, N. Y, in 1898 He
went to Lansing Michigan where he at
tended school summers and taught in the
winters until 1860, when he married Mary
A. Bascom-eldest daughter of Willard
and Hannah Bascom. This proved to be a
most happy union; his wife being a real
helpmate to him in the struggle of life.
The summer of '62 found him engaged
in teaching-when at the call of his
country he threw aside the ferule, and
enlisted in the goth Reg. Michigan Vols. :.
and served as steward of the regiment
until the close of the war.
The war over he engaged i'll mercan-
tile pursuits in Buchanan county, Iowa,
until 1871, and afterwards in Cherokee,
Iowa, until 1878, when he came to Ar
kansas.
He thoroughly identified himself with
the community, and by his integrity, and
enterprise took position among the fore
most man of the State.
Making real estate his speciality he has
achieved success, and contributes liberal
ly of his means in every enterprise. He
is the leading real estate man in his city.
He is of a genial disposition, very
cordial in his address, and having a
vein of humor in his nature, he is very
companionable. His fellow citizens de-
light to see him in places of trust and
responsibility.

A legend says that an editor died
and slowly wended his way along
the path to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him.
Satan met him and said: "For
many years thou hast born the
blame for the many errors the
printers have made in the paper
The paper has gone alas, for $I.oo
and the $1.oo often failed to come in
The printers have deviled thee
Saturday nights for wages when
thou hadst not one cent to thy
name. Men have taken the paper
without paying for it and cursed
thee for not getting out better
paper. Thou hast been called
dead-beat by the passenger con-
ductors when thou hast shown thy
annual pass to their envious gaze.
All these thou hast borne in 81
lence. Thou canst not come in
here" And he fired him away.
Heaven is thy home, and be-
sides, if we let him come in here
he would be continually dunning
his delinquent subcribers, for this
place is full of them, and thus
cause disorder in my kingdom. >

FINE BOOK & JOB PRINTING.

New York, while indispensable
to Democratic success in the
nation occupies a peculiar position
in that the State Democratic
party is a modern Ephraim, "a
cake not turned" The party is
not thoroughly one thing or an
other on national questions. The
cake is in chronic condition of
dough. That may be a main rea-
son why New York Democracy is
about the meanest sample of
Democracy to be found between
the two oceans. Having no prin-
ciples that it can agree upon, the
party in that State exists solely for
spoils, and accordingingly has
fallen hopelessly into the hands OF
a gang whose one article of politi-
cal faith is that public office is a
chance for making "divvy"
among the "boys."

PersOna1ly-COndue Tours TO
Washington. ID. c., Via Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

These Pennsylvania Railroad person
ally conducted tours to the National
capital cover so much for the extraord-
inarily low rate of $I2.5o that travelling
becomes much cheaper than remaining
at home. The third one of the season
will leave New York, foot of Cort-
landt and Desbrosses streets, in special
fast express train, Thursday. Oct. IS, at
Ii A. NJ, reaching Washington early
that evening. Returning, leave Wash
ington 20 P. NJ. the following Saturday.
The round trip rate of SI2. so includes,
in addition to railroad fare in both di-
rections meals on route, accommodations
and board at hotels which are among
the most famous in the country. The
dates of the later tours of this series are
Oct. 2o, Nov IL, 26 and Dec. 10. Spec
ial facilities will be also afforded for see
ing everything of interest in Washington
under the favorable conditions assured
by these tours.

Academy of Music. New York.

The great drama and spectacle of
1.-The Soudan" has proved the greatest
success at the Academy of Music, New
York, since 1.-The Old Homestead, and
at every performance this great theatre
is thronged with people who applaud the
stirring scenes and the excellent acting.
Not often is there given to playgoers an
opportunity to enjoy play of this
character with such uniform good act
ing, such handsome scenery and such
thorough stage management as are found
in The Soudan", Strong in plot and
full of moving situations. admirably
constructed both as to its action and
dialogue, this powerful drama runs the
whole gamut of the popular taste for
amusement and appeals with success to
every class of theatregoers! Lovers of
the pathetic find plenty of pathos in its
affecting child-scenes; devotees of the
spectacular find it replete, with great
scenes like that of Trafalgar Square;
while the worshippers of comedy and
humor are abundantly provided with
food for laughter. New York has never,
indeed, seen play with so many attrac-
tive sides to it and it is not to be Won
dered that it sprang to instant success
the first night Of its production. Man
ager Tompkins has spared no expense il
producing 1.-The Soudan" and the com
pany includes some of the best talent IL
the profession, notably Louis James
Frank Losee; 5. E, Springer, Oar
Collyer, Harry Hawk, Mrs. w. G. Jones
Emma Veders, Eleanor Moretti, Kate
Osterle and little Wallie Eddinger The
play will remain indefinitely at the
Academy of Music.

Wife, beating is still the popular
sport with the rum-besotten brute
when he has reeled to his home
and sees the unhappy face of the
luckless woman who has the mis-
fortune to be married to such a low
creature. Every week the papers
record many such instances. The
man IS arrested and sent to Jail,
and the woman is left without any
means of support, dreading the re-
turn of her tyrant, who is certain
to take revenge upon her for caus-
ing his arrest. He is no sooner re-
leased when he beats her again,
and she, fearing to deprive her
children of the little their worth
less father earns, submits to his
bad treatment. Again we repeat
what we have before advocated,
the reinstatement of the whipping
post. If the wife-beater were ta-
ken and severely fogged every
time he committed that cowardly
deed he would surely not be guilty
of the offence very often. Our
ancestors were wise in some res
poets. An hour in the pillory ex-
posed to the jeering of curious
crowd was more humiliating and
salutary to the culprit than a week
in jail. 1t would indeed be ser
vice to the State if the next Legis-
lature would consider this question
and pass a bill re-establishing this
wholesome punishment for the
wretches who in their drunken
viciousness il1-use their wives.

SEE WHAT is IN DIXIE.

The people of the Southern section OF
the Union have gathered together the
products of the farm, orchard and gar
den, and placed them on exhibition IN
Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina.
By reason of its proximity to the North
ern cities, this is most convenient
point at which to hold the Sonthern
Interstate Exposition. The rate for
the round trip from New York by way
of the Old Dominion Steamers Will be
about fifteen dollars; from Baltimore, by
the Bay Line Steamers on the beautiful
Chesapeake Bay, about ten dollars;
from Norfolk, Va, about four dollars;
from Washington, d. c., by way OF the
Atlantic Coast Line or the Richmond
& Danville, about ten dollars.
This is the most excellent opportunity
that will be presented to the Northern
people to see what is and can be grown
in the Southern States; and by all
means let our people go down and see
what the South can show; see the
people, get acquainted with them, and
learn much that will be to their advan-
tape. The mode of growing cotton, dis
til1ing turpentine, the picking OF cotton
and pressing it into bales, are all inter-
esting features in Southern industry.
The exhibition will be SO unlike North
ern fairs, so unlike the Chicago Exposi-
ton, so unlike any thing North or West,
that Our people will miss the opportunity
of their lives if they fail to attend the
Great Exposition during the months of
October and November.

To BE Successful Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.

To BE Successful Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.
We often hear sharp criticism in
dulged in by creamery men against
their patrons and by patrons against
creamery men. 1t has been our OBJ
servation quite often that the criticism
was well deserved both ways. But we
wish to assert bedrock principle that
knows no exceptions: 1t is impossible
to run poor creamery when the
patrons are well posted in dairying.
They simply won't have it. The poor
creameries and cheese factories can
continue to exist only when the patrons
do not know what is due them. The
other day we read the report of
creamery at Geneva, ILL.,, and it did us
good to note what splendid combina-
ton in society a lot of intelligent
patrons and good creamery can make,
There are sixty patrons, and they de-
livered last year 5,797,757 pounds of
milk, which produced 240.797 pounds of
butter, an average of 4.35, or a trifle
over AZ pounds of butter to 100 pounds
Of milk The amount received for the
ootter was $50, ,099.23.
One of the hest proofs of the intelli-
S>nce of the patrons is found in the ex-
oellent quality of their milk. That is
an old dairy section around Geneva,
and the dairymen there have learned
that it don't pay to have poor COW or
TO keep good one poorly. Evidently
,hey have long since discarded the idea
that lots of milk without reference to
its quality was the thing in creamery
or cheese factory. So many farmers
have that important lesson yet to learn
1t must be pleasant task to run a
creamery with such lot of we'll posted
dairy farmers for patrons. .-Hoard's
