He Was Sorry

There is negro man at City Point,
writes correspondent of Forrest and
Stream, so old that no body knows
how old he is-one of those old
knocked-kneed negroes about 100
years old, ali twisted and doubled up
with rheumatism, who walks or
crawls about with the assistance OF
two canes, and is known as Uncle Joe.
One day the old fellow was slowly
making his way through the village
street. when along came white man,
very well known character in that
town, 'shalf seas over" He was pref
ty nearly as "full as goat" and he
happened to have his rifle with him,
and crack shot he is, whether,sd drunk
or sober. As soon as he saw Uncle
Joe seated on a stump he sung out:
81 say, Uncle Joe, let me put po-
tato on top of your head and shoot it
of. I will give you fifty cents if ]
burst the potato, or dollar if Kill
ye."
The old negro looked up and re-
Piled:
'Do you say, boss, you will give me
fifty cents if you bust the potato, or a
dollar if ye kill me?
eyes" was the reply.
sWell, den 60 ahead, boss" said
the old man.
The potato was placed on the top
of the old ney.o's head, and the
white man staggered off about thirty
PAGES and drew a bead. The smoke
and fire shot from the rifle and the po-
tato spun high in the air.
"Well, I'll be shoved!' said Jim, Il
did do it, or I'm sojer!"
He staggered up to Uncle Joe,
fumbled round in two or three of his
pockets, fshed out half dollar, and
handed it to him.
The old man seemed very much
surprised. Il was long time since
he had seen so much money. He
looked at it lovingly, bit it, turned it
over, looked up to Jim, and said:
ssWell boss, Use sorry I did not git
de dollar"

Remarkably Fine Crops.

The wheat crop Of 1891 is the greatest in
our history; the tobacco crop is the greatest.
The corn crop of 1891 is the second greatest,
and the cotton crop Of 1891 is equal to the
greatest in quantity and the equal of the
best in quality. The vegetable crop was
never better, and the fruit crop was never
SO prolific. The orange crops Of Florida and
California are SO fine that importation OF
oranges from the Mediterranean are about
shut out.

Be Kind.

Kind words are the music of the world.
They have power which seems to he be-
yond natural causes. 1t seems as if they
could almost do what in reality God alone
can do-soften the hard and angry hearts
of men. No one has ever been converted
by sarcasm; crushed, perhaps, if the sar
casm was clever enough, but drawn nearer
to God, neyer-Erclanye

Gloucester County Courfs,

The Teachers Association.

An Association consisting of the teachers
and members of the Board of Woodstown
public school was organized the 23d of
September. 1t has been felt that the high
est aim of the public school should be to
produce good citizens. That more import
ant than the sending out of good scholars,
was the sending out of industrious, truth
full, virtue loving pupils to become the men
and women of the future, who should help
to make the world better as well as wiser
and richer. The association has been
formed TO see il a united effort could not
be made toward this end. We believe fully
in the necessity of a good intellectual eul-
tiyation, for the man or woman who is to
take his or her place successfully in the
business and social circles of to day, but in
the light of the many pitiful ~downfalls,
whose sad story is of daily occurrence in
the papers, of men fully equipped in this
particular, we can not but feel that a good
moral foundation is a surer thing to build
on. That an understanding Of truth and
honesty will be quite as good a help to the
future citizens as a knowledge of ancient
history and geometry. And that the pub
lie schools everywhere recognizing this,
can no longer be held guiltless, if side by
with intellectual development, more
effort ia not given to moral cultivation.
We have a great field of labor, taking in as
we do all classes, and We earnestly entreat
the sympathy and support of the patrons
of the school in our effort in this direction,
that We may be enabled even if by slow
degrees to help ring in the new era of
"Sweeter manners, notler liie."
The association are hoping to be able
to give a series of illustrated lectures By
Miss Monroe in January, Beyond the
Mississippi and THE Civil War. Subjects
for the two evenings.

our Letter BOX
Wants q Better Sidewalk d.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the contractors for
building the bank are about done plaster
ing, it is hoped that those whose business
it is to do it will look after ~leveling off the
footwalk. SO that one can get along more
safely during the winter months. The
writer is obliged to go to and from his
business over this territory several times
each week day, and many times nave we
been obliged to take the roadway. OF this
l do not feel like complaining as the bank
building is an ornament to the town.
But the public nave been very SUBJ
missive and permitted them to use
the sidewalk and most of the highway for
some months past. For the splendid new
building We are thankful and feel a pride
in showing it to visitors. and we will be all
the more grateful if those who are delegat-
ed to see to it will give us such a footwalk
of gravel, boards, or something else that
we can travel over with safety.

was indeed a brilliant person, unsur-
passed in my memory for the light
cavalry charges OF wit; as unlike her
mother and brother as if she had been
born into a different race. Instead Of his
regular features she had a Wild, dixie
look, with a prominent nose and large
liquid brown eyes, whose expression
vibrated every instant between melting
sottness and impetuous wit; there was
nothing about her that was not sweet and
kindly, but you were constantly taxed to
keep up with her sallies and hold your own:
while her graver brother listened with de-
lighted admiration aud rubbed his hands
over bits of merry sarcasm which were
utterly alien to his own vein.-THomas
