news, and there has not been SO much
as wee on dit TO chronicle. The
farmers in this section as elsewhere
are terribly behind hand with their
crops, owing to long continued wet
weather; but still the crops look in
fair order and we may yet be able to
reap a good harvest. and smiles re-
! place the looks Of late gloom.
What shall say that would be at
all interesting to your many readersp
When one sits down to read they gen.
orally anticipate an intellectual feast,
and every correspondent should aim
to promulgate such ideas or sentiments
as will prevent the reader from feeling
that his or her time has been thrown
away; they should strive to write only
what will enlighten and broaden the
F., minds and views of others to help to
elevate one as it were, by the magic of
| the pen which we are told is mightier
than the sword; but alas few of us
have the power to more than touch,
and that very lightly, the senses.
| School has opened again at Carters-
vile. under the auspices of one of
Iuka's fair daughters, Miss Alice
| Moore. whose gentle sway has already
endeared her to her young pupils.
May her reign be one of peace, and
the memories she carries away with
her when her duties have ended, be
only sweet ones.
| Health of neighborhood remarkably
| good. for which we can not be too
| thankful.
Well, Mr.. Editor, fancy l can see
the genial smiles which wreathed the
faces of the faithful" when the news
flew with lightning speed over the
wires. that .'our Grover" was nomi-
mated for the highest Office in the gift
of the people. Oh! if the Democrats
will only be true to themselves, and
their country, and all pull together,
victory will be obliged to perch on our
banners in November. The people.
even the great uneducated mass. has
now had an object lesson in High Pro-
tective Tariff. in the terrible riot in
Homestead. Pa, and / believe it will
act the tide Cleveiadd ward. Ana l hope
so from my neart. and now, if ever,
every Democrat should be up and do
ing, to help wrest that grand and
mighty nation from under the iron
heel of despotism that Is fast coiling
its deadly folds around US, and tramp
ling the rights OF free born citizens in
the dust. teach them this TALL that we
wish no Mckinley bill no high pro-
lection. if it means locking out honest
workman. slyly bringing armed forces
under false pretences to our doors, and
by the laundering of cannon proclaim
that the laboring class must yield to
the superior strength of capital. When
good honest blood must flow, when
wives are widowed and children rem
dered orphans, thus trying to force on
the wage worker high protective
tariff which means in the case OF the
many battle cry OF "lown with the
wages" down with the unions, then |
say, it's time every honest man, every
intelligent thinker in the land should
put his shoulder to the wheel, and
work ere the hideous wolf finds your
own door, Only shilly shally now,
and let the monster have another four
years to run riot in our country. and
what can We promise ourselves. Where
now We are prospering. then will be a
scene of anarchy and wide spread woe.
Do you think for one moment our eff
cient Sheriff could so far have forgot
ton his oath of office, as did the sher-
iff. who issued orders to arm and
bring to Homestead the Pinkertons,
TO force peaceful law abiding workmen
to yield to Baron Carnigie's demands,
ana not allow them the right even of
an audience whereby they might ar
rive at some clear understanding, thus
preventing the loss of many valuable
lives, and throwing city into the tur-
moil. fear and danger which is always
engendered where an armed mob may
beP All! no, he would most assuredly
have locked closer into the merits OF
the case, before issuing orders which
would necessitate the shedding of
blood, the taking of bread from the
mouths of women and children. 1
wish every section was blessed with
such whole souled sheriff. in fact
naught but what is good can be said of
any OF our officers; they are the right
men in the right place. and if the
voters of the country win only do as
we'll in tho coming election, we'll have
another good man in the rightoplace.
So every Democrat list to the sound
of tho tocsin, lift up your banners and
rally every one to the standard, and
| God will give You the victory. More
