the fair Henry Schafer insured his
property in the Coe and Yuma Mu-
tual.
The rope on the flagstaff at the
Pleasant Point school. having got out
of its place on the pulIy. it was nee
essary for some one to climb up and
place it in position. Tom Mccall,
son of Hugh Mccall, of Coe, was the
young man that performed the feat.
The pole is 80 feet high. tapering to
four inches at the top. The pole is
hard. smooth and painted and young
Mccall succeeded in climbing it
twice with PAIR of ordinary rubber
boots and without the use of creep
ers. which is considered quite feat.

THREE FOR A NICKEL.
A Shrewd Ohio Postmaster Causes . Rush
For Postage Stamps.

For Postage Stamps.
The business world of the village of
Johnstown, in Ohio, had succumbed to
the heat and had lain down for the sum-
mer siesta. Plainly things needed stir
ring up, and it was Postmaster and Edi-
tor W. A. Ashbrooke who did it. His
humble instruments were merely piece
Of white pasteboard and some black
paint, the latter, however, mixed with
a shrewd quality Of brains.
When his preparation was finished, q
large placard challenged the notice Of
all passersby with the startling legend,
Postage stamps, three for cents "
The first response to this alluring state
ment was from drummer. He accosted
the postmaster, do You mean to say
that you actually sell three postage
stamps for q nickel:" The postmaster
replied that this was undoubtedly the
case. WELL" said the drummer, II
never saw 4 reduction in stamps before
I'll take So worth. l don't need 'em,
but it's the best bargain in stamps I
ever heard Of
He waited with gratified smile
while Mr.. Ashbrooke put his So bill in
the drawer and counted out the stamps.
By this time his expression of compla-
cency had given place to one Of chagrin,
and as he pocketed the stamps he re-
marked, well, that's one on me. -
Presently 4 winsome girl came trip
ping up with a letter to her sweetheart.
When she read the placard, her eyes
sparkled with pleasure to think that the
stream of coin she was steadily pouring
into Uncle Sans Golfers was to be even
slightly diminished. She laid down a
nickel with n confident air and said,
"Give me three stamps"
The obliging collector of government
revenues pushed her ont two twos and a
one. Then perhaps he didn't pay for his
little joke. Feminine scorn held the
floor in that Office for the next five min
utes. Then, with the somewhat feeble
peroration, Twill Ashbrooke, you think
you're smart, don't you:" the offended
maiden fiounced out Of the Office

The market is full of cough mix
lures, but one trouble with most OF
them is that when they do q little
good the patient has to take so much
that he gets to loathe the taste. The
Pineola Balsam is superior to other
cough remedies because it is agreea-
BILE to the palate and its good effects
are immediate. In a few days an
ordinary cough is gone altogether.
Bronchitis and asthma are more
stubborn. but they, too, are cured by
Ely's Pineola Balsam. A remedy
worth trying. Twenty-Five cents is
all it costs.

HONOR AMONG THIEVES.
Chicago Thugs Would Not Rob an Old
Soldier From Moline.

Soldier From Moline.
The Chicago Herald has the fol-
lowing concerning the robbery Of
Squire Gould, of Moline. in that city
Monday:
There is honor among such
thieves as met NJ. A. Gould. of Mo-
line. yesterday morning at Harrison
and Dearborn streets. Gould is an
old soldier who came into the city on
an early train enroute for Chicka-
manga TO attend the battlefield mon
ument dedication ceremonies. He
was looking for hotel when four
thugs stopped him by pushing as
many revOlvers into his face. Gould
does not remember the exact Ian
guage used by the leader of the quar-
tet. He does recollect, though, that
an imperative demand was made for
his stuff and that he lost no time
in emptying his pockets. He gave
up his watch, $40 in coin, some
minor yaluables-in fact, all he had
that was worth anything.
els that all you've got?' asked
one OF the thugs. What's that pa
per in your inside pocket
That's NV discharge from the
service in 1861 Gould answered as
proudly as possible under the cir
cumstances. Il served four years
fighting for the flag down south.
boys. For Gods sake don't take that
from me! That's all I've got to show
for it now
Let the Veteran Go.
There was hurried conference
among the four highwaymen in the
shadow Of an alley, Gould being told
to stand still unless he wanted 20 be
shot full of bullet holes. Then one
Of the thugs stepped out.

he said. We've got the wrong man.
See? Now, You take this stuff and

ing. Go blow yourself down a.

1.-The next moment found Gould
once more in possession of his watch,
money and valuables. He was SC
delighted at the turn of affairs tina,
he forgot to thank the patriotic
robbers, and when he found hotel
that suited him he concluded that he
was the luckiest surviving veteran
of the war of the rebellion"

OUR M ELONS.

Several hundred acres Of land
around Knoxville will be used for
melons this year. The supply sell
dom exceeds the demand and du-
ring the past few years people liv-
ing in the North and East have
commenced buying and demanding
the Tennessee melons on Gcas..nt
of their large size and fine favor
Claiborne Progress.
1t is a fact proved beyond any
doubt that the Tenne:see melons
Outclass the far-famed Georgia
melons. They are fully as large
and the flaw r is much finer. The
only advantage our Georgia neigh.
bors seem to have over us is the
fact their melons ripen little soon
er than ours, but we believe by
earlier planting and more system.
attic cultivation this advantage can
be overcome aud our melons put
upon the market at about the same
time. In Georgia they make melon
raising u business while here very
few men go into it very heavy. Oh
course nearly every farmer has his
patch, but like Topsy hey are just
left to grow without any particular
attention. More attention should
be paid to this paying industry.

GOLD AND SILVER.

We hear a great deal said about
"single gold Standard" "silver
Standard" double Standard" Stree
coinage of silver" until the average
man thinks the finances of this
country have in some way gotten
into terrible muddle. On every
hand we fi1d some fellow with u
plan to settle it all, bring system
out of chaos and make us all veal
thy. There are many theories, but
few are statesmen enough to see
what theory will be practical at
this time. The TINES doesn't pre-
tend to have a solution of a prob
lem over which our ablest men so
widely differ, but we have our opin-
ion, which is certainly unbiased as
we own neither a silver, nor a gold
mine-nor do we expect to soon.
There are extremists on both sides
This country does not want a con-
tracted currency, nor does it wish a
currency that is as numerous as the
sands of the sea" for it would be as
worthless. We do not want gold
standard, nor do we want silver
standard. We want money that is
good anyw ere and every dollar
will buy as inuch as every otaer
dollar. We want enough money to
float the business of this country
and we want such laws as will pre-.
vent it drifting into the control OF
a few men. We want our money
to circulate wherever it is needed
in legitimate business. We do not
believe the government should give
its money to individuals for them
to speculate upon. Put everybody
upon an equal footing. Let then
earn their money and then spend i
as they please. IL these condition;

are complied with the great ma s
of the people don't care what kind
of material is used in making the
money. They are not interested in
gold, or silver 80 they get sound
money and plenty of it to pay them
for the work they do. We need
more statesmen who will LOOK after
the interests of the great mass of
the people and not after tie inter
ests of the men who own gold or
silver mines Let them be treated
fair, honorable and with justice, but
do the greatest good to the greatest

offers to the man of moderate
means greater inducements than
any other industry in any other
section. He can buy lands from IS
to $25 per acre. These lands are
productive Ond easily cultivated.
He car cultivate as much with one
mule here as re can with two
horses in the North. While his or
chard is growing int bearing he
can cultivate the land between the
trees and raise enough produce to
pay the cost of cultivation and sup
port a family. In from hree to four
years he can begin to realize from
his orchard, and in II few years, on
a few acres he can acquire COM
potency. Twenty acres in peaches
will give him an income Of from 70,
900 to $1,000 Il year, with little labor.
In making this estimate we are
allowing only 100 trees to the acre,
with yield of two crates to the
tree, and and estimate the price at
from 81 to $3.50 per crate, although
a fair yeald is three to five crates
to the tree and the pri res have
been - to $3.50 per crate"
The Baltimore Manufacturers

to the peach industry in the South

Those who have closely followei
the recent development of tn
