A Story Offhe CaImDaI&n.

During the pr, sidential campaign
IA Pennsylvania manufacturer ad-
dressed the men in his employ and
set forth the reasons why they
should vote for Harrison and against
cleveland. He said: My men if you
vote Democratic ticket at the COM
ing election and it wins you will find
yourselves working for so per cent
less wages than you are getting
now?" But the men merely looked
at him and grinned. He sent for his
foreman and said: 1.-The men do not
seem to be impressed by what | said
to them. What is the matter? ?"
well I'll tell you," replied the fore
man, The men say that if you real
ly believed that the election of Cleve-
land would result in a so per cent
cut in their wages, you would vote
for him yourself, and be the first man
to get to the ballot box"

TWO CHURCH ES,
They Were Nearly But Not Entirely
Alike I'm Faith.

Back in Marion County, Ind, there
is a little town down on the johnson
County line containing about 800
people. A stranger came into the
town on a certain Sunday morning,
and, walking out from the hotel, he
saw a little white church and a crowd
going in, and he noticed that it was
a Lutheran church. He walked on
and in the next block he saw a little
brown church, and was surprised to
see that it also seemed to be q Luther
an church. He went back to the hotel
and found the proprietor there-he
had not gone to Eur ope Laughter +
and he said to him, cit strikes me as
rather strange that in little town
like this, hardly able to sustain one
church, there should be two churches
just alike"
"What do you mean?' asked the
landlord. The stranger told him
what he had seen. cob" said the
landlord, you are mistaken; those
two churches are not just alike; they
are somewhat alike, but not just
alike. Over in the white church they
| believe that the serpent tempted Eve
and Eve tempted Adam, and Adam
fell; but over in the brown church
they think he was bad egg from the
/ start.

Cut His Wife's Throat.

Fount Hyatt, a big mulatto negro,
of Greensboro, made brutal attack
recently upon his wife. Hyatt went
to the shanty where his wife was at
work washing clothes. Her back be-
ing turned toward him she did not
no ice his entrance until he said:
''Lyd, / have come to kill you" He
at once grabbed her by her throat and
commenced stabbing her. She was
covered with cuts on head and shoul
ders. There were nine cuts altogeth-
er. The physicians in attendance
took out three pieces of her skull in
the afternoon and there is no proba-
bility of her recovery. Hyatt imme-
diately gave himselfup to the author
titles, and stated that he hoped he had
killed her. His intention was to get
a pistol and shoot his.wife and then
kill himself.

MADE A MOUTH.
Remarkable Operation On a North Caro-
lima Girl.
From the Charlotte Newsl

From the Charlotte News.
A few weeks ago Drs. MiSenheimer
and Gibbon, Jr., undertook to furnish
a 19-year-old girl with practically a
mouth. The girl lives near Davidson,
and was born with a fearful deformity
of face. There was no roof in her
mouth, she had no upper lip at all,
and but a fragment of gum, from
which three teeth protruded almost
straight out.
Before the doctors took her in hand,
they photographed her as she was.
Then they took out the teeth, set
them back in natural way. made the
girl a lip and gave DIR. Bland plans
and Specifications for a roof to her
mouth. The dentist filed his con
tract well and the roof was found to
fit all right. The deformity was OBJ
liberated, and only a slight trace of an
operation was left.

GEORGIA,s BIG FARMER.
Four Sy stems of FarInIng-Ten Thou
sand Acres Under Cultivation.

Frank Weldon has written an in
teresting letter in the Atlanta Con-
stitution giving some figures about
Georgia's great farmer, Col. Jim
Smith. of Oglethorpe. He went to
Colonel Smiths farm primarily be-
cause of the visit of the Egyptian
representative. and his letter con
tanned some interesting comparative
figures on the expense of raising cot
ton in Egypt and America. But the
acreage and yield Of Colonel Smiths
fields together with the hands en-
plOyed and animals used in their cul-
tivation, are so large as to challenge
attention, and stamp him easily the
leading farmer in Georgia, and prob
ably in half the States of the Union.
Here are some figures as given by
Mr.. Weldon:
Colonel Smith has four systems Of
farming. He cultivates 5000 acres
by hired free labor, 1900 acres by
convicts leased from the State, 2,OOC
acres by tenants who pay him one
fourth of their crops and 1900 acres
by troopers who pay him one half
of their crops.
Colonel Smith owns 200 mules, 1 2
horses, S00cows and oxen and calves
and 400 hogs. His mules are fine,
and cost him from $50 to 5000
apiece. His herd of COWS contain
many Holstein, Jersey and AYRSHIRE
cattle. Some of these cattle are
thoroughbred, and are registered
He milks about seventy cows and
| makes sixty pounds of fine butter per
| 10 It tXv-H y-n re
per pound.
He cultiyates about three thou
sand acres around his home place,
where he lives, with free hired labor,
all the laborers being negroes. He
I also keeps constantly employed a
number of carpenters, bricklayers
and blacksmiths.
Colonel Smith is not an all-cotton
farmer. As stated above, he has
| about 400 hogs and 500 head Of
cattle, so that there is never any
lack of meat, and besides his thou
sands of acres of pasture land he
raises an abundant supply of pro
vender for his stock. He has or
hand now 5000 bushels OF old corn
which he has kept in the shuck, anC
1000 bushels OF oats from the CROP
of 1892. lie has a large amount o
forage, and believe that he coulG
make his crop next year without
having to use any of this years croI
for his stock. He sOws wheat for the
double purpose of getting grain ant
to improve the WORKOUT lands which
have been planted in cotton for {
number of years in succession. Whear
gives the land rest and replaces IL
it vegetable matter. His wheat il
generally planted on the poores
lands. Hence the yield is lighte
thanit would be otherwise. Rye ant
COW peas and clover are all planted
to rest the land and improve it.

acreage devoted to each crop an,

A Romantic Marriage.

George A. Foster, aged IS, and Mrs.
Catherine Neese, aged 81, were mar
ried August 9th, at the residence
of the bride, in. Rock Creek township,
Guilford county, by ]. L. Holt, J. p.
The Record says that there is lit
tie romance connected with the affair.
Mrs. Neese has grown children, and
they kicked up skinny" about it, but
it did no G cd. She told them she
was determined to wed her lover, and
wed him she did. 1t is said the groom
thought once he would be obliged to
steal her out at night from top win
dow, and declared he was equal to the
occasion, and could bring his lady love
down a ladder as CALAMITY as youth
of 81, but happily that was averted.

The philadelphia Times speaks out
hopefully and on the right line
1t says that the crops will be big,
and that means a big trade when
they are brought to market.
But it is said that money is want
ed to move the crops.
Now, what is wanted to move the
money? Business.
And what is wanted to move bust
ness? Nothing but to let it move.
As the Times put it, the pendulum
must swing Activity always follows
apathy. Those who move first head
the procession.
1t is no time for croaking Clear
the docks and start the fall trade
This is not tiippant way of treat
ing the subject. 1t is strictly bust
ness.
Horace Greeley said of the resump-
ton of specie payments: "The way
to resume is to resume"
The way to restore confidence is to
snow confidence.
Crops and business will move if the
calamity howlers will get out OF the
way.

GOOD Sermons


From McClure's Magazine for September
When | came back Doctor Hale
was again stretched upon the lounge.
He began almost fiercely upon his
favorite topic, and can do no better
than to give his own words:
II have written twenty five books,
butt I'm not an author; I'm a parish
minister. l don't care a snap for the
difference between Balzac and Daudet.
That isn't important in life. | do
care about the difference between the
classes of men who migrate to this
country of NINE"
Here | interrupted him:
is it better to do twenty things
than one?"
Not best for every one; but for a
man who writes forty sermons year,
it is better not to get into one rut.
To write those sermons well he must
come into touch with forty things or
forty men. AS a man of letters, l
say the same thing. An author must
bean allround man and take many
sided view of life. My friends think
it harms me. | say it does not

Country Home Life Benem,ted

Good roads add to the attraction
of country home life; they facilitate
traffic; they make it easier to get to
market, to church, to school, and to
the polls. Tourists are attracted by
them. There is neither wisdom, pat
riotism, nor economy in trying to get
along without them.

there is money in farming when a
