Judge George F. Gober made a
strict and favorable charge to the
Grand Jurors before they retired,
and made an impression upon that
honorable body of men. His charge
is always an honest one and all he
speaks is with much emphasis and
force of mind and character. For
fifteen years he has been connected
with the courts of the Blue Ridge
circuit and can look back upon the
past and see what great change
has come tor the better. The laws
are now better enforced and crime
has been subdued.-Blue Ridge

THE WISEsy COURSE.

1t is freely predicted now that the
Chicago National Democratic Con-
vention will be controlled by the
silver Democrats who will make a
platform and nominate candidate
for President in accordance with
thar views. The question of re-
storing silver to its former place by
free coinage is one that will contin-
ue to agitate the public mind, unless
the experiment is made. 1t would
be better for the party to test the
strength of this question among the
people at the ballot box than for it's
constant agitation be kept up. The
party by uniting the forces and ele>
ments in favor Of free silver may be
able to win on that line. Certainly
it cannot win on the gold standard,
owing to the lage detection Of voters
who have strayed off. 1t seems that
defeat would be better on the silver
platform, than to hopelessly split
the party for the future. The
straightout issue has to be met, and
the sooner the better for the party,
the people and general prosperity.
Ii the Democratic party does not
give the people chance to vote ON
this question, it will result in diss
affection and disintegration. We
would be glad to see this agitation
speedily settled. It is full OF danger
to the stability of our government.
1t is better to settle it at the ballot
box than to encourage a spirit of
revolution and depression, the
result of which would be destructive
to the peace and prosperity OF the
country.

The Cameron Sun thus sums w
the matter in very brief manner
SAT twenty, when a man is
young, he thinks he knows it all
he likes to wag hic active tongue
and exercise his gall; he struts
around in noble rage, the world is
all his own; he laughs to scorn the
world Of age, and lists to self alone.
He wears windcw in his eye to
see his whiskers grow; he thinks
the ladies pine and die because they
love him so. At forty, as you may
suppose, he's knuckled down to biz
tits not till sixty that he knows how
big gump he is."

A Chicago dentist is working in a
way to win himself a lasting fame.
He has perfected, so he says, sys-
tenn of absolutely painless dentistry
and he will not patent his appara.
tus, so that it may be placed within
the reach OF all. He diffuses CO,
cane with electricity, at the same
time benumbing the nerve centers
by the strength Of thirty volts Of
electricity. Thus the patient in the
chair has the satisfaction of retain.
ing full senses, and at the same
time witnessing the extraction Of
living nerves without experiencing
pain.

SANDER.

The tongue Of SANDER is never
tired. In one way or another it
manages to keep itself in constant
employment. Som etimes it dips
honey, and sometimes gall. 1t is
bitter now then sweet. 1t insinu-
ates, or assails directly, according
to the circumstances. II will hide
curse under smooth word, and
administer poison in the phrase Of
love. Like death, it Stoves shin
ing mark" And it is never so
available and eloquent as When it
can blight the hopes Of the noble
minded, soil the reputation of the
pure, and break down or destroy
the character OF the brave and
strong. What pleasure man or wo-
man can find in such work we have
never been able to see. Aad yet
there is pleasure in it to multitudes,
or they would no: betake them
selves to it. Some passion of soul
and body must be gratified by it.
But no soul in high estate can take
delight in it. 1t indicates lapse,
tendency toward chaos, utter de-
pravity. 1t proves that somewhere
in the soul there is weakness, waste,
evil nature. Education and refne>
ment are no proof against it. They
often serve only to polish the SLAM
derous tongue, increase its tact, and
give it suppleness and strategy.
