a wonderful thing happened the 9th
er day. Your correspondent got hold
of a silver dollar, and it had been so
long since he had seen one he took it
home and put it on exhibition among
Sallie and the children and told them
what it was. Now, Uriah, our oldest
boy, having been to school some and
learned to read. looked at all the read
ing on both sides of that dollar and
then began to enquire as follows: PA,
who made this dollar?" "What did
they put this eagle ON it for?" SIS
Liberty the name of the woman on
it," What does E Pluribus Unum
mean" "Pa, they've put on this dol
lar in God we trust does that mean
that we are all good people and will go
to heaven when we die?" Mr. Gam
bpell said IN his speech that the Dem
ocrats voted for whisky; wouldn't it be
better for them to put a picture of a
jug on their dollars, and then write on
them that in whisky we trust or
something like that" But they
couldn't trust in God and whisky both.
could they?" Being busily engaged in
reading my late papers, ] told Uriah
that he had better go and look after
the calves, and | would explain these
things to him when he is older and bet
ter able to understand them.

Local Correspondence.
MALCI NJ DOTS.
BY ED.

Mr.. Editor, after thorough course
of chills and fever, | once more appear
on the local columns.
A great deal of sickness in our parts
now, mostly chills and fever.
Squire White is as plucky as an old
circular saw. If he can't square 'em up
one way he'll square 'em up another.
He's just about to settle this niger
fussing out here. At his last court at
Good Water" he had placed fine on
a young buck for toting a concealed
weapon. He couldn't give bond, and
just as the Squire was fixing the Jail
mittimus, he said 1.-The sky darkened.'
On looking out he saw his constable
shooting with all good intent, but the
buck skipped and hasn't been heard of
since. 1t is supposed that he lodged in
Lawrence county somewhere.
Crops are doing very we'll at present,
though little shower wouldn't hurt.
Joe, Miss Laura Whites little pet,
still looks wild.
| do wish that every body had heard
the discussion so ably aud fully made
by Bro. Scarborough last 9Th Sunday
at Little Bahala. 1t soothes my thought
to think what he told the young men,
and especially the parents on whom
such exacting responsibility rests, in
regard to training their children the
way they should go. How often do we
see young men go to church or to any
gathering; their very nature and ac-
lions showing up how they we're raised
at home. Whispering in the time of
service, and laughing, and romping
over the floor and even getting drunk
and cursing and swearing on the church
yard. And their parents, how are
they? So ashamed of their own chill
dren that they stayed at home, or else
couched down in some obscure place
IN the audience. We had what we
might call good order at Little Bahala,
though few drunken, haggard look
ing roughians were lurking around the
yard during service.

A STRANGE CASE.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation that existed IN my
arms, hands and legs. l had to rub and beat
those parts untilthey we're sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribab gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said 1t
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
rehef. Once it fastcnS upon II person, they
say, It continues it4 insidOus progress until
il reaches II vital point ard the sufferer dles.
Such was my prospect. had been doctorlnS
n year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when saw an advertisement
of DIR Miles Restorative Nervine, procured

may seem, but ~ few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. | now feel as
we'll as | ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight though had run down
from 40 TO 137. Four others have used DR.,

Correspondence of the Republican.
BAEro Feb. Ssh, 1894. What Is our
country coming to? Never in all our
lives, have we seen times so hard.
Why, the streets OF this city are
thronged with the unemployed. Their
name is legion. II liz sad to see, every
morning long lines OF women and
children dependent on charity, await.
ing their turn at the station to get Il
| little wherewith to keep body and
soul together. At night, there is a
rush among the men, to get lodglngs
at the. same places. There is not
room for all who apply, and those
who come late. must do without.
| No one advertises Tor help now; it is
unnecessary. for every job that Is
open now there are hundreds of APP
plicants who will work for just
barely enough to live OIL. A few days
ago gentleman wishing to get facts
and figures placed an advertisement
in one OF the leading dailies In this
city The result was astonishing.
When he arrived at his Office in the
morning at $50, his usual hour OF
opening. he found by actual count,
over 500 men waiting for him. and by
noon that day the mum Der had sweiled
4 10 the enormous sum of 1900 men and
the lob only paid 5000 per week.
This shows without further com.
ment what the Democratic party and
J tariff reform are doug for Is. But II
seems hard that those who did moi
sow must reap the same reward a.
/ those who did. 1t is to he hoped that
this may prove a lesson to some, anC

long season of prosperity enjoyet
