HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.


In the early days of Western
journalism, when any newspaper
resorted to abuse its contempora-
ries, it was customary to say that
Mr.. JONES, Of the Skunk's Misery
Sentinel, had alluded to Mr.. Brown,
of the Ground Hogs Glory Gazette,
in the Kansas style" The follow
ing vindication of Colonel BLACK
WELL, Of cigarette fame, by a North
Carolina paper, conyinces us that
the Western style of slang-whang-
ing is not a lost art, but is still bear
ing improbable fruit The Dur
ham Globe, published at a town
chiefly famous and noted for the
manufacture of cigarettes, says in
behalf of its candidate for the post
mastership:
We hear it stated that the vultures,
ghouls and vampires who, with nothing
orecommend them but their impudenee,
audacity and money, which they have
stolen from friends, have sent statements
to Washington in which the character
and reputation of Col. Buck BLACKWELL
are impugned and maligned
After careful and lengthy di-
gest on the valuable information as
to "yultures, ghouls and vampires, y
the editor launches forth again in
this fashion;
1t may be true that in his big book Of
life Buck BLACKWELL has written some
pages which can not be endorsed, YET
pages which he would not write again
ana we say the heIl-puked and Shiny
scum of scoundrelism that would exhumC
from the coffin-lids the skeletons which
might have been misfortunes and rattle
the dried and almost decayed bones il
the face of his friends would not stoI
to rob the grave of any decency or am
buried honor.
If the citizens of Durham allow som,
lame duck and arid ass to take the plac,
which, for dozen reasons, belongs t.
old BUCK BLACKWELL, then the Glob,
wants to say that gratitude and justice
are not given here. Every man, woman
and child who knows Buck BLACKWELL
and the history of Durham should rusl

circulated,
The language is strong, but per
haps there was some occasion TO
it. History repeats itself. If on

suggestive political maxim, "Post

and Personal Notes.
Special correspondence
The farmers Of this vicinity are very
busy preparing for another crop.
Ferd Saunders and Enoch Harris, Of
Camden, spent last Sunday with friends
in this vicinity.
S. G. Hudson has returned from Cairo,
ILL.,, where he spent last week on bust
ness. The mill will start Immediately.
Doss Crabb is catching a great many
fish, but we learn he has been losing con-
siderable on them. We hope he will be
more successful in the future.
Humphreys County farmers have been
planting but were stopped by the back
water from the river and will have to
break up their ground and plant again.
Some OF the boys have ordered their
spring jugs, but the captain Of the boat
did not feel disposed to deliver them UNI
less they paid all the charges on delivery.
The river has rose to within feet Of
the last heavy rise and is still rising at a
rapidTate. Farmers who have been cul-
tivatiug low lands along the river will
farm no more until the water subsidies,
and it is now impossible to predict as te
when that will be.

A RECENT decision of the Kansas
supreme court will beof general in
terest. "If railroad engineer, in
approaching d point where it is his
duty to sound his whistle, as reauir-
ed by the statutes, observes a man
with a team of horses hitched to a
wagon, and can see from the sur
roundings that the sound Of the
whistle will endanger the man and
team, it is his duty to desist until
the danger point is past, or, if nee
essary, TO stop the train; and If he
does not, but heedlessly sounds his

company is liable for all injuries

"How much will it cost to live
at Chicago?" is a question that is
just now agitating q great many
minds, and yet the answer is so sim
pie as to almost suggest itself to
those who contemplate going to the
fair. Briefly it may be put in these
words: AS much or as little as you
please. There is no reason why
any one should submit to extortion
of any kind. 1t is estimated that
the prices for rooms will range from
so cents a day up. OF course this
will not include board, and most
people will find it more convenient
to take rooms and eat whereverthe
may happen to be at meal hours.

The man who sold his bacon on
the streets here last week at Z cents
per pound thought it was yielding
him a handsome margin until he
learned by accident that our mer-
chants were paying from 10 to 129
cents per pound for good country
cured bacon. Then, no doubt, he
felt like going out and kicking HIM
self for his lack of foresight. We
do not know the actual number Of
pounds sold, but we briefly state the
situation this way: Say he sold
200 pounds Of bacon at Z cents per
pound, which realized him $14. At
10 cents per pound he would have
received $50, and at l25 cents, $25.
Here is a difference of frem So to

he had invested the small amount

Speaking with distinctncsS ant
comfort depends much upon a full
and even set of teeth. II they are
/ crowded and irregular, or there is
now and then one missing, it affects
the voice at once, and is very annoy,
ing to others who are obliged 10 listen
to 1t. Public speakers often fail T.
produce the effect they desire upon
their hearers from tAi; CaEsc and are
not conscious Of 1t themselves.
Nothing contributes more to the
beauty OF the features than a perfect.
regular, clean set OF teeth, while !
neglected, diseased mouth disgusts
every beholder. Such things are
noticed nowadays much more thar
formerly and good teeth and sweet
breath are considered indispensable
to every lady and gentleman.
Filling the teeth is the only means
Of preserving them when decay com
mences. The science OF dentistry IS
now so far advanced that the skillful
operator can save and restore the teeth
even where thoy have been badly de.
cayed and ab.ccssed. Some wonderful
cases have beon presented in the last
few years Of teeth seemingly teyond
the hope OF saving, whorc the scIenc.
and skill Of modern dentistry has re.
stored them again TO usefulness, much
TO the Joy and surprise OF the patients.
Fifty years ago the great study OF the
dentist was how TO make artificial
teeth; now, according to the Dome.
tic Monthly, all the resources Of sci
ence and art are brought to bear, and
the whole force Of dental education
at the present day is centoring upon
the one great work Of saving the nat

TIE FLOWERS OF CALIFORNIA.

The FlI.al gems of the Golden State
Ave their own peculiar individuality
The California Poppy, which has been
adopted as the State emblem, might
be imagined to have taken its color
from the golden sands of its soil. The
Spaniards called it "Cup of Gold, 1"
which seemed more euphonions title
than the botanical name of Eschshoh-ia,
icommemorating its scientific discovery
by an enthusiastic Russian. 1t grows
profusely in the California valleys, its
satin flowers glowing in shades of yellow
from a pale cream color to the deepest
orange tints.
The beautiful blue Nemophila, called
by the children BABY Eyes" from the
heavenly blue of its flowers, grows in
great quantities in fields and woods.
The Snow-plant, which has been so
often described, are found plentifully
in July near the edge of melting snow
banks, on the western side Of the Sierras.
On the eastern side the soil is rough
and alkaline, and here flourish the
gorgeous Trumpet flowers, the graceful
Columbine, the Locust, the Lupine
and the faint yellow and pink blossoms
of the Prickly Pear; the tall red flowers
known as ''Painted Cup" and Indian
Plume is also native here.
Wild roses bloom in great luxuriance
and many pretty starry flowers, and a
plant with immense pink and yellow
blossoms which grow in canyon by it.
self.
z There is also a large peony which
grows close to the ground with green
centre and closely-curled purple-back
petals. Many varieties of the Califor-
MIA flowers are native only to GER
tain peculiar localities, aborigines,
natives of the soil which it is death to
while many others have
found their way into the florists cata-
logues and are treasured among the
rarest flowers.
