Footpads at work.

Late Thurs day night three foot
pads held up an out going Kasloite
at Hemminger's corner. The foot
pads were the notorious Kid Burns
and the two fellows who were
vagged about month ago by Judge
Hoban, they having served out their
terms and returned. They knock
ed their victim down with a gun,
inficting an ugly scalp wound.
His cries for help brought r. L.
Cheney to the scene who took in the
situation at a glance. He gave
chase to the hobos, who fled as soon
as they saw him approach. He
succeeded in catching one Of them
but the fellow afterwards escaped
from a room where he was confined
awaiting the arrival of an officer.
The gang gathered around Cheney
while he was bringing his prisoner in
and it looked as though they would
try to rescue their pal. Cheney in
formed them that he would take
pleasure in entertaining the whole
combination but the gang though
best not to run up against the bis
customs officer. The footpads go
$40 from their victim.
This hobo gang ought to be clear
ed out together with certain join
that harbors them. They are no
robbers. They are simply sneal
thieves, sand baggers and Low
whelps Of that order. What W
need here is vigilance committe
to hang a few Of them like they di,
at Wenatchee.

Brown will be Collector.

David G. Brown, of Montana,
will be collector of this district after
ALL The dispatches last week were
misleading. The senate did not re-
ject him, it simply failed to act on
his nomination, so the President
has appointed him collector, and he
will enter upon his duties about
the LIST.
In this connection we might say
that from the best of information at
hand it looks as though Tim Gala
han will be the next collector at
this port. We have not the least
particle of interest in who is APP
pointed, but if Tim gets it, we will
say it will be a worthy appoint
ment. He is, comparatively speak
ing, an old timer here, and an in.
dustrious young man, sober and re!
liable, whose good luck all will re-
joice in.

A CHIP FROM THE OLD BLOCK.
The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe of clay;
While gentle gusts of evening air
Did through his lilacs* play.
His jags had nodded off to sleep;
The smoke curled round his head;
His grandson to his side did creep
AS if by mischief led.
He threw gun powder in the pipe,
His pleasure to enhance:
1t burnt the old mans whiskers off.
Then warmed the youngsters pants.

WHISKERS.
Talks with Leading Citizens upon a
Topic of Great Moment.

1t will be observed that many of our
young citizens are aspiring to possess a
luXuriant crop of whiskers. The cause
of this evolution seems to be traceable
to one OF those mental delusions which
are known to sweep somewhat periodi-
cally over all civilized countries and, for
the time being, overthrow customs and
traditions of long standing.
We have diligently inquired into the
question from a point of metaphysical
research and conclude from data on
hand that the problem is not wholly a
social one, but that material and also in
tellectual causes lead up to the strange
fashion.
Ralph Bemis, it is acknowledged is a
great ~favoritc among the ladies. When
a tawny hued chinchilla fly brush began
to adorn the working end of his counte-
nance, no limit of social pleasantly began
to pass through the general delivery
window at the post office from leading
sisters of the town. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that the Sorosis club at
its last meeting passed ringing resolu-
tions commenting the course of our aft
able postal clerk for the blessed reform
he has 50 bravely'started
AT the first opportunity we interview
ed Mr.. Bemis upon the theme in hand,
sometime in mouth) and he spoke re-
grctfully of the now defunct brass band
and of his Unborn love for music closing
with the following little ode which he
swears is purely original with himself:
| love the songs that nature sings
All artists must give place
Which the atmosphere so softly rings
Through the whiskers on my face.
TO further satisfy a morbid curiosity,
we single out IA few other local satellites
upon the threatened Innovation.
Upon seeing Chas. Mix, we put to
HIM IA question on this wise:
What do you think of the chin whisk-
cr racket that is about to overturn our
long established social custom!
Mix wish had whiskers to my
waist. | am about to add hay to my al
ready large stock of perishable goods,
and methinks if | had a long braid of
wind strainers | could sell hay with won
dcrful rapidity, be gosh.
5. L. Crane it is announced expects to
allow his beard to grow. Upon being
accosted as to his opinion, he spoke in
high praise of the scheme. He said he
thought a bunch of whiskers added
much to a mans beauty and closed his
eloquent eulogy with the following
beautiful lines from Longfellow:
OF all the manly forms we meet,
The most designed to please,
Is the man who dares to walk the street
With whiskers to his knees.
G. p. Mills started IA beard but soon
discovered that the capillary papillae of
his epidermis We're not sufficiently vigor-
Gus to furnish the "melanocomous charac-
ter without sheer exhaustion. (This
means the beard was all right except the
color, which never came.)
Daniel Lenny is not the man to lac
behind the fashion and so he was inter
viewed as to his unbiased opinion of the
new departure in facial or~namentation.
He was free to say that to let Il beard
grow is the only sure way to get it out
of ones system. He also added that if
the crop is properly curried and cult

never get repairs. p" mo one is respon-
sible to you for repairs and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only flew days ago, we learned that
one agent was saying that we were
shipping out second hand machines.
That agentmay deal in second hand"
goods himself. The business agent of
the State Farmers Alliance does not.
Up to date, Feb. 24th wehave delivered
to the brethren over 1000 Alliance ma
chimes. We placed order for seven ma
chimes yesterday, one of which is to go
to Kansas.
Below we give a few original letters
from the brethren which speaks for
merits of our machine.
DURHAM, N. O., Jan. 25, 1898.
BRO. WoRTH:-I will say the Alliance
sewing machine that my wife has been
using for two years has eve been out

~ @:
DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri,
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine l ordered from you September
the goth, 1892. 1 wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for [ have owned
three in my time, and can say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
I ever had. One of the machines cost
me about $43. so, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. Ny wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
well as ever I saw any machine, I can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
I do this for the benefit of those who
may want a machine. I have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one. I will say further that the
machines shipped comes all right &C
cording to order freight paid.
I remain ever yours,

BRETHREN, TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, l am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tiOns are that / shall ell orders only
when cash to the full amount of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases of County and Sub-Business
Agents who have filed in my office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any NJ
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit.
tee, will ask US to ship goods and he
" will pay for same on receipt Of bill, )"
or I" when goods arrive"
Sometimes we are asked to ship 90.
0. D." or with "sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude Of refusing, but in either
of the above cases we are compelled to
do so. We have had a little experience
in shipping collect" and in nearly
every case it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moments
thought will not ask us to violate a
standing rule of the Alliance. You
will see also that it is better to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t is always preferable to have your
orders come through your regular
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to cover
the bill. Any balance will be placed
to your credit, or returned to you as
you may direct.
". II. WORTH, S. B. A.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-08-22
BRETHREN WHO HAVE BONDS
TAKE NOTICE.

The recent failures of banks and the
unsettled condition Of the money mar
ket, has greatly disturbed the com
mercial world.
The inability to obtain loans, on the
best of securities has compelled us to
decline to fill any orders unless accom-
panied by cash. All the Agents who
have bonds at this Office will please
take notice of the recent action of the
Executive Committee instructipg us
to hold all orders unless accompanied
with a remittance sufficient to cover
the same.
We are very sorry that such action
had to be taken, but the credit Of the
Agency must be sustained so we a
get the lowest prices for the brethren,
and serve them to the best advantage.
w. H. WORTH, S. B. A.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-08-22

Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. 1t costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed on it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,
1 lead pencil,
1 pen holder,
5 pen points,
5 blotters, all for the small sum of 81.

WHY PORK IS G

Mr.. EDIToR:-I enclose letter Just
received from our meat house. You
a see why pork cannot be bought at
reasonable figures.
w. II. WORTH.
Mr.. W, II. Worth, Raleigh, ~. q.
DEAR SIR:-We have yours of the
oath ordering one barrel Of mess pork
for j. D. Mears, Elm City, N. @. We
are now unable to furnish any mess
pork. The market for pork for Sep
TENDER delivery is cornered in Chicago,
and on that account the price of pork
is way above what it ought to be as
compared with other cuts of meat.
Short rib sides are now the cheapest
meat in the market, quality considered,
and we should advise Mr.. Mears to
take short ribs in place of the pork.
we will have mess pork just as soon as
1T can be had at a reasonable price.
