The Prosperous south.
he Chatanoega Tradesman.l

From the Chattanooga Tradesman.]
Tt would be hard to assign an ac-
ceptable reason for the South's pres
ent prosperity. While the North,
West and East have been troubled
by a restless condition in financial
circles, the New South seems solvent
and quiet. Possibly, their bank de-
posts are not made up as largely
from a class of small depositers as
are those in the other cotton sections
of our country. But the cause lies
deeper. Changes in many directions
have placed the South on a sure and
stable foundation. But few years
ago the expectation of fruits and
vegetables from this land was no ele-
ment trade. Now, with rapid train
service, this trade probably aggre-
gates $50,OOO,OOO a year, and is
rapidly growing. New and large or
chafds of small fruits will be adding,
from year to year, to this total
While cotton is low in price, the pro-
duction has doubled in ten years, and
now the United States, or the South,
produces thirds of the cotton
used in the worlds manufacture.

Dog VS.. Catamount.

A catamount and bulldog were
pitted against each other at Hot
Springs, Ark, recently. The dog is
claimed by its owner to be the cham
pion canine fighter of Arkansas, and
belongs to Nat Howell the game
chicken breeder and all-round sport
ing man.
The cat weighed about thirty -eight
pounds and was captured recently in
the Ouachita bottoms. The fight
lasted forty-five minutes at the ex-
piration of which time the catamount
was dead and the dog was covered
with nearly 200 wounds. The affair
was witnessed by about 300 people.
About $1,000 is said to have
changed hands on the result of the
fight. The eat was the favorite and
was backed heavily. The fight itself
was for 500 a side. posted by the
respective owners of the animals.

1.-THE following verses were composed ard
written in Jail by Charles Pepper, for his
friend, Peter DeGraf.
Come all you kind people my story to hear,
And what happened to me in June OF last year.
Of poor Ellen Smith and how she was found,
Shot through the heart lying cold the
ground.
IT'S true Pm in Jail prisoner now,
But God is here with me and hears every vow,
Before Him promise the truth to relate,
And tell all know of Ellen's sad fate.
The world of my etory has long known part,
And knows was Ellen's own loving sweet
heart,
And while would never have made FER my
wife,
I loved her too well to take her sweet life
/ saw her on Monday before the sad day
They found her poor body and took it away;
My heart was quite broken, 1 bitterly cried,
When friends gently told me how Ellen had
died.
That she had been killed never entered my
mind,
Till the ball through her heart they happened
to find.
o, who was so cruel, so heartless and base,
As to murder sweet Ellen in that lonesome
place?
I saw her that morning so still and so cold,
And heard the wild stories the witnesses told;
choked back my tears and when the people
all said
That Peter DeGraff had shot Ellen Smith dead.
81 tlf crazy with sorrow I wandered away,
And lonely I've wandered for many day,
My love in her grave, he- hands on her breast,
While blood hounds and sheriff5 would give
me no rest.
They said was guilty and ought to be hung,
The tale of my crime was on every tongue,
They got their Winches ers and hunted me
down
But l was away in Mt Airy town.
l stayed off year and prayed all the time
The man might be found who committed the
crime
So could come back and my character save,
Ere the flowers had faded on poor Ellen Is
grave.
l came back to Winston my trial to stand,
To live or to die as the law may demand,
Macarthur may hang me-my fate l don't
know,
But Pm clear of the charge that is laid at my
door.
Ellen sleeps calmly now in the lonely grave
yard,
I look through the bars and God knows it's
hard.
I know they will hang me at last if they can,
But God knows I'll die as an innocent man.
| My soul will be free when I stand at the bar
Where God tries his cases, and there like stal
| That shines in the night shall my innocence
shine
| o, Lord, appeal to this justice of thine.

MANAGING A WIFE.
A Woman Writes Her Views On This
Subject

Subject
TG the Editor.
You often read items entitled
Chow to manage a husband" but
never has a receipt been given for
managing a wife" Perhaps some
will say "easy enough" but not SO.
1t requires more thought and ma
neuvering for man to win woman
than any other subject he ever made
a study of, and when he has her tied
tight and fast, he does not then half
way understand her.
suppose that is the reason that
so many make such grave mistakes
and neglect their wives, as they often
do, although the poor innocent men
do not mean to be negligent; they
simply do not know how to IMAM
age woman"
You marry her, bring her home
and then are off to your business,
which requires your attention the
greater part of the day; you come
home to your meals, give your wife a
kiss, perhaps for a few months after
you are married, and even that be-
comes u task after lapse of time
tAiA ny tHC tilIlO ,foul HISU cilllu is
born, you have forgotten that YOU
ever knew how to kiss (your wife, |
mean,) for perhaps you have stolen
numbers from some other source. If
you take a daily paper; you take it
with you when you go down town.
consequently if your wife happened
to have n few minutes to spare out
side the housewOrk aud the care of
the children, she can not get the
least information Oh the progress OF
the times. SO how can her husband
expect her 30 be interesting and in
formed upon the news of the day out
side the baby's prattle or Mary's
aptitude at school or with the
| needle?
When you come home at night YOU
bury yourself in the evening paper,
unless dinner is a little late; then
perhaps you don't smile any too
sweetly, and when you have swallow
ed the last mouthful you say: "Well,

If husbands want their wives to b

DIR HRoUGHroN RESIGNS
As Pastor of Broad Street Baptist
Church-POunded

Rev. L. G. Broughton, of Broad
Street Baptist church, has rendered
his resignation as pastor, to take effect
November 1st.
The cause and conditions of the
resignation are in the hands of the
board of deacons and have not been
made public. The rumors being cir
culated about town are without
foundation.
DR.. Broughton has been pastor of
Broad street church since March, 1892,
just eighteen months. This is his
first pastorate and his inaugural SER
mon was among the first he ever
preached. During his pastOrate the
church has made wonderful progress
in every department of work. 1t has
grown from thirty-eight members to
about one hundred and fifty. The
house of worship has been greatly en-
larged and beautified. The church
membership has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most devoted and &C
tive in the State, Both pastor and
reople are anxious that an amicable
adjustment may be made between
pastor and congregation.

Sponge bathing with alcohol is ex

Ten hours sleep and one hour each
day in the open air.
Ripe peaches, grapes and oranges
worth their weight in gold.
Plenty of light in your dressing
room when using your powder puff.
A little powdered alum or cologne
water in the hand bath as a correc-
tive to undue Precipitation.
Friction with the hand to be fol
lowed by an oil bath where a round
slenderness of figure is desired.
A mixture of camphor and myrrh,
a few drops in glass of water, as a
mouth rinse for unpleasant breath.
Ten minutes half dozen times a
day devoted to inhaling and exhal-
ing air if you wish to become fair of
form.
Soft water, the temperature of the
skin, with the purest of soaps as an
adjunct, the .correct thing for the

Straight Democracy.
From the Burlington News

From the Burlington News.
The great heart of the people have
confidence in the President, or they
would not have reelected him. The
News would bride no honest senti-
ment, but it does think that if such
men as DR.. Kingsbury and Capt. Ashe
expect to fight for straight Democracy
next year, it is high time they pulled
down their present flag and came back
where they belong. President Cleve-
land stands for sound government.
sound money, sound principles, and is
the same great man he was in 81, '8S
and '92, standing still on the Demo
cratic platform of 1892, which does
not call for free silver without its
parity being first settled; but does
certainly call for the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law.

Good Advice.
-negie to Young Men

Andrew Carnegie to Young Men.
There are three dangers in your
path; the first is the drinking of
liquor, the second is speculation, and
the third is endorsing. When / was
a telegraph operator at Pittsburg l
knew all the men who speculated.
They were not "our citizens of first
repute," but were always regarded
with suspicion. l have lived to see
all of them ruined, bankrupt in mind
and bankrupted in character. There
is scarcely an instance of a man
who has made a fortune by specula-
ton and kept it. The thorough man
of business knows that only by
patience and unremitting attention
to affairs can he earn his reward,
which is the result, not of chance, but
of we'll devised means for the attain
ment of ends.

ten egging at Greensboro last
week. They had rendered themselves
very obnoxious to the decent people of
the community by their abusive and
scurrilous haranging, and while hold

after routing the parsons pursued
them down South Elm street past the
