CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.

The State Pension Board will only
be able TO pay ninety cents on the
dollar to pensioners. The law pro
yides that the appropriation must be
prorated, and the pensioners have In
creased to such an extent this year
that the $4,000 appropriation will
not pay 100 cents on the dollar
Hot Springs News.
The above only goes to show the
evil tendency Of all pensions-to
grow and expand. If not checked
the amount paid for Confederate pen.
sions will soon 60 to five times the
sum now paid out, and become a bur
den upon the taxpayers, 1t seems to US
bad idea for the State to start out
in the pension business. The nation
can barely pay her pensioners, and it
will soon be the same with the State.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The prOprietors

powers, that they offer one hundred

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

THE administration of the oath.


THE administration Of the oath, as
in civil cases, is of high antiquity:
"Then shall an oath Of the Lord be
between them both, that he has not
put his hands into his neighbor's
goods" See Exodus XXI, IL.
"Swearing on the Gospels" was first
used in the year 628. The first oath
administered in judicial proceedings
was by the Saxons in the year 500.
The words $50 help me God and all
the Saints" concluded an oath down
to 1850.

A cheerful disposition is better than
riches, or social position, or any of the
rewards of ambition; better than all
else save only the character which God
loves. But while every one is ready to
say yes to this somewhat commonplace
proposition, their conduct does not as a
rule conform to the affirmative. Not
because there is any one who does not
wish to be cheerful, "but how can | be, +"
he means, 'when there are so many
clouds ahoat in my gloomy sky, and
when my pathway in life is so full of
snares and sorrows?" Well, it can not
be denied that on all hands there are
sources Of grief and no heart is always
able, with its firmest resolves to the
contrary, to rise above their depressing
influence. Nevertheless there is usual
iy bright side TO the darkest prospect
If only 1t be looked for. The purpose to be
cheerful whatsoever ones situation, is
half the secret of a happy life; and the
whole of it is to possess cheerful heart
out of which this fine purpose grows
No good comes OF brooding. Much
good comes of making the best of things.
The patent recipe for cheerfulness is,
living out of ourselves and for others.
1t is said of the philanthropist
Howard that when he felt disposed to
an Indulgence of 1.-THE blues" he lifted
off the threatening burden by seizing
his hat and going and doing somebody
what good he could. To brighten those
about us is to become bright ourselves.

Poorly Organized.
lBrockwayvlllc RECORD

lBrockwayvlllc Rccordl
a man prominent in local labor cir
cles is authority for the statement that
since active coal developments began,
the miners of jefferson county were
never so poorly organized as at the
present time. At one time scarcely a
mine existed which was without an or
gani2ation of some kind, and the his
tory of the past has been marked at
different periods by a decided spirit
of aggressiveness on the part of the
labor unions.
The knights of Labor have been the
backbone of all labor unions in this sec
tion. Other miners organizations were
instituted and waXed strong, and were
auxiliary In some form or other to the
X. of l.. Assemblies nourished at
Brockport, Clarion Mines, Beechtree
and Coal Glen, but now all have lapsed.
The only mining towns which have an
organization at present are Horatio and
Anita. An Assembly exists at Clay
vile, but it is a mixed local, and not
confined exclusively to mine workers.
Various causes are assigned for the
decline of unionism in this section, but
the most likely reason is the depression
which has existed in coal mining for
the past year or two. While some of
the larger collieries have run pretty
steadily, the low coal districts have
barely made half time. Nothing is so
demoralizing in the ranks of labor as
idleness, and slack work is always
marked by a corresponding decrease in
agitation.
