Ran Away With the Money.

"Just like man." women will say

He halls from Rockingham. He
courted girl, got ready to be spliced,
didn't have the money to buy a
license, so the ''party of the second
part" to wit: the girl, gave him s.. 90
to buy it.
He took the Doodle and ran away.
"Sat down and cried did she ? Not
much. She got hump on herself. Z"
She ascertaincd whether he had
gore and followed him.
He came to this county-in Deep
River township-where she found
him, had him arrested, put in Jail and
this morning an officer took him back
to Wentworth to answer charge OF
eloping with $500 instead OF
with girl.
He went away singing 'the girl |
left behind me-" but about the time
he faces the State prison he will sing
another tune. He will be indicted for
obtaining money under false preten-
ces.-Greensboro (M CO. Record.

Soft Drinks In Havcrhlll

Temperance people in Haverhill,
Mass, have determined to open what
they call Temperance saloon" in
opposition to the saloons which make
no claim to temperance. 1t is not to
be coffee house. In fact neither
coffee nor any of the milder liquids
are to be sold in the temperance sa-
loon. Beer and wine will be the sta
pie beverages of the temperance es-
tablishment.
The temperance people will cut
rates from the start, Everything will
be sold at actual cost. Beer will go
at two cents for schooner and one
cent for skiff. Perhaps the other
saloons will meet these prices, but
whether they do or not it is clear that
if the stock of the temperance saloons
holds out Haverhill is going to have
glorious time, and ''not go home till
morning. y
The mistake of the temperance sa-
loon managers will be found to lie in
the fact that they have refused to in
ciude whiskcy in their bill Of fare.
There are but few Germans in Hayer-
hill, and where population is COM
posed largely of Americans and Irish
men whiskey is the favored tipple in
preference to either wine or beer.
This fact will be recognized by the
temperance saloon keeper before he
has been long in the business, and he
will not be much longer in learning
that he must either sell whiskcy or
put up his shutters. People who arc
in the habit Of drinking whiskey can
not be induced to mix their drinks.
The Haverhill experiment will be
watched with as much interest as that
of South Carolina. Governor Till
man, who has nothing but an Ameri
can trade, declares that beer is the
most Improbable drink for temper
ance saloons to handle. Whiskey, he
declares, is the only drink that will
pay expenses. The temperance peo-
pie of Haverhill should profit by the
Governors experience.-,&. Louis

Economy OF Labor.

In these days of close competition,
combined with low prices Of farm
products generally, and the scarcity
Of money, it becomes necessary for
every farmer to study closely and in
telligently the best methods in the
preparation Of his soil for the next
years crop.
TIE begin with, it is to be presumed
that every careful and progressive
farmer has made every exertion posi-
Bile to save as much manure as his
means will allow, for the next season.
For the purpose>of illustration, we
will assume that farmer who runs
two-horse farm and cultivatcs fifty
acres Of land, and employs two hands,
is ready to begins his operations for
1894. By the use of the proper tools,
on two-horse crop he will need one
hand only until the lst Of May, or
until he begins the cultivation OF his
crop. He should break all of his land
that he expects to cultivate with a
two-horse plow, turning at least six
inches in depth during the months Of
January and February and March, and
during this time, especially when the
ground is frozen, the manure should
be hauled out and put in convenient
piles for use. One hand, with two
horse team, can break the land and
haul out The manure for a two-horse
crop by the 1st of April. Then the
same hand, with two-horse team,
can, by means of Corbin disk har-
row, thoroughly pulverize and prepare
the land for planting. Then, by the
use of planter, which opens the fur
row, drops the seed, and puts in the
fertilizer, if any is to be used, the en-
tire crop can be planted by one hand
and two horses.
By this plan you save the hire OF
one hand for the months of January,
February, March and April. Then
with the Planet, .Jr., cultivators and
horse hoes combined, he can work the
entire crop without paying one cent
for the hand hoeing.
The old fashioned way Of farming
with imperfect tools and doing much
of the work by hand that should be
done by horse power, makes the crop
cost so much that there is no profit
left. The way to remedy this is by
the means of improved machines in
place Of hired hands. When you be-
gin to talk to some farmers about i'm
proved tools, they say, "I can't afford
to buy these machines-I haven't got
the money!" yet he can afford to pay
a man fifty cents day to hoe cotton
or corn for him, when, with the aid of
a horse-hoe and cultivator, he can
plow and hoe his cotton ant, corn at
one-half the expense.-'YorkviNe En-
oulrer.

The storm was over and streaks Of
day were beginning to show in the
east when gentle raps at the cabin
door called the mother from her place
Of kneeling beside the little bed. At
the door she met her boy. He had
made his escape from the hollow log
and stood before his mother in seem
ing answer of her appeal to the Lord.
Before the joyful meeting Of mother
and son had subsided the sheriff with
a great crowd was at the cabin to tell
the news-to tell the dying confes-
sions of bad man of the County who
had been killed in the storm by fall

to the crime for which the widows

it was he had resigned himself to meet
death as coolly as possible.

their way to Wedowee Creek to be at

she heard these reminders. Tears

her soul in sorrowful prayer to God.

A Reohuanaland Snake Story.

A Barberton man who goes to church
regularly was one day walking along the

witch, and ON account of the usual dispar-
~ between meat and bread he threw the
redundant piece into the water. 1mme-

bered how his father use to tell him that
blacksnakes were very expert In catching
fish. He therefore grabbed the reptile by
the tail, carried 1t to the river and held 1t
over the struggling fish. The snake prov
ed itself born angler, and in the course
of an hour the man had captured 40 fish.
A few days later as he was walking in the
same place he felt something rub against
his leg, and looking down he saw his
friend the blacksnake eager for more sport

Care of the Teeth.

A dentist advises that acids are even
worse than sweets upon the teeth and in
Weighs against the eating of oranges and
apples at night without carefully rinsing
the mouth afterward. Persons, too, with
sensitive teeth, who dread the hour in a
dentists chair, will find their suffering
somewhat relieved by being careful what
is eaten before the appointment. Acids
that set the teeth on edge are poor prep
