Nearly overy time lately we look al

see a bear-sometines bull has got
him started up the tree but he does not
remain long before he is down, got on
a nat and looking as impudeut as the
"devil" while the poor cotton holder
has got the lin jams" These bulls
and bears regulate the price, supply
and demand cuts no figure unless we
were to make several very short crops
and get as poor as Jobs turkey the
price will be beyond the legitimate
law of supply and demand. If we have
to break to raise the price, we had bet
ter set to work now to try and break
somebody else. Pass an ante-option
law that will prove effective, and force
a bounty out of the government, and
you will be starting out right. The
only way to do this is to get the press
aroused and organize the people (farm-
srs) and then start them on STAN
eede like Texas cattle and they will
make things get out of their way.

Judge Robt. Powell.

The Oxford Globe, edited by the
brilliant Hon. Robt. Showers, speaks Of
Judge Robt. Powell and his appoint.
ment in the following complimentary
way;
mind this: We have never censur-
ed Gov. MeLaurip for appointing Judge
Robt. Powell to succeed Judge Chris
man. We have the highest regard for
Judge Chrisman's ability as a jurist.
but at the same time, considering the
fact that Judge Powell is himself first
class jurist and a warm personal friend
Of Gov. McLaurin, the governor would
indeed have been very ungrateful had
he not appointed him. We are glad
We belong to that class of men. who
believes, everything being equal, eur
friends are more deserving than the
other fellows friends. This, at least
il practical politics, and every other
politics, and every other in America is
OF the sylsbub kind"
Since Judge Powell has gone on the
bench he has fulfilled the highest ex-
pectations os his friends He has been
holding court in Yazoo City this week
and BY his fairness and sffability, has
made friends of all whe have met him.
Tie is proving q most worthy successor

in introducing Bowker's Vermont
Phosphate this season we feel sure it

sufficient quantity to give the crops a
grand good start early in the season.
1t can be used alone or in. connection

Salisbnry.CrandaII.

At six o'clock last Thursday evening,
the marriage of Mr.. Edgar T. Salisbury, Of
| the firm OF Salisbury Brothers, to Miss
Mary A., daughter of Mrs. Ann r. Gran
dali, took place in the Congregational
church, which was beautifully adorned
| for the occasion. Stately callas and lovely
Easter lilies with palms and potted plants
were arranged on the pulpit platform wit h
snch rare good taste as to have light and
graceful effect, while tall lamps with col
ored shades illuminated the scene with a
soft and pretty light.
The bridal party entered the church to
the strains OF Lohengrin's wedding march
played by Miss Lizzie Adams OF South
Royalton. The four ushers- Messers. Eu-
gene Segar, }. Laroy Mann, Henry Leon
ard and George Mann-advanced with
measured step down the central aisle, pre-
ceding the maid OF honor, Miss Minnie
Davis OF Norwich. Then came two little
flower bearers, Miss Hortense Peters and
nephew Of the groom, Master Franklin
Salisbury, followed by the bride,
Charles Crandall, who performed the
Office Of giving her away. In front Of the
platform, they were met by the officiating
Clergyman, Rev. v. M. Hardy, d. D., and
the groom attended by the best man, Mr..
j. w. Raymond.
The bride looked very sweet and lovely
in simply made gown OF pearl-colored
lansdowne with pearl trimming. She had
no veil, but wore small flowers in her hair
and carried bouquet Of bride roses. The
maid OF honor wore very pretty dress of
pink cashmere and also had flowers in
her hair.
Memberships wedding march was
played as the party left the church, the
Hover bearers scattering blossoms in the
path of the newly-married couple.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mr..
and Mrs. Salisbury received the congratu-
lations and good wishes OF their friends in
the vestries below, and few minutes later
started on wedding journey to Boston.
Their home is to be in the upper part OF
the Salisbury homestead on Franklin
street.
The wedding presents were numerous
and valuable, including delicate needle-
work, handsome china, silverware and
paintings. A silver tea set was the gift OF
the ushers, and a pretty chauffing dish
was presented by the employees OF the Sal
isbury factory.
Among the guests from away were Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Atwood OF Plymouth, N.
H.; DR.. Henry Crandall of Burlington, an
uncle OF the bride; Miss Ella Hazen of
Hartford, Miss Edastina Bush, M. D., and
Miss Mary Odds of Norwich, Mrs. George
Laird of Royalton and Miss Clara Burke
Of South Royalton.

Social Considerations.

social ClasSl1catlOnS.
Social life in a country village is COM
pick and interesting study. It's rules are
arbitrary; its classifications are distinct,
its boundaries being as sharply defined
and, on the whole, as just and equitable as
the Schomburgh line.
In hamlet Of seven or eight hundred
many social circles as there are churches
these form the first grand divisions
that the impartial stranger, whose relig-
1ous convictions are rather hazy, chooses
his church, as he does his necktie for its
general appearance OF being the correct
thing and It's promise OF doing him good
service.
Any intermingling around the edges Of
these circles is seldom thought Of, and woe
to the hostess who attempts to turn her
double parlors into laboratory for the
chemical fusion of such dissimilar ele-
ments. They walk, like Daniel, through
the fiery furnace Of her hospitality un-
touched by the flames, and despite the vi
olent play OF her mixing spoon, slowly and
surely separate until over the heads Of the
little cliques collected In the corners OF
the rooms her disappointed eyes seem to
read In large type the names OF the various
denominations.
Many an excellent soul, whose genial
nature Is unconsciously cramped by its
narrow surroundings, apparently lives
and dies under the impression that the
only agreeable people are they Of his own
coterie; while, II the truth were but known,
persons thousand times more congenial
to him naturally are to be found among
the sheep of another fold
Those whose wealth and influence in a
community bring them in contact with
the best OF all classes are inclined to be
more catholic in their social tendencies;
but even they feel constrained to number
among their guests, on every occasion, all
members Of their own particular congre-
cations from the boy who pumps the or
gan to the parson himself-before they can
presume to issue invitations to any one
outside.
Pride OF birth, fortunately, plays but
small part in the social life OF country
village. A man is generally allowed to
stand on his own merits, whether his
grandfather was a noted horse thief or a
farmer candidate for governor, and in
either case is held irresponsible for the
sins OF his ancestors. But his ''persuasion"
is made the subject OF instant investiga-
tion that he may be properly labeled and
without loss of time.
Many profess to yearn unutterably for
the day OF church unity and in the mean
time do all they can to postpone its dawn
as long as possible. No doubt this fash
ion of classifying society in the country |
is preferable to many methods that might |
be mentioned, but it seems curious no.

tent and purpose, for the churches to per-

Spades and shovels, soda, yeast.
But this spring suspicion seized them,
When their coal grew low'r, low'r,
And zach knew he'd boughtas many

On dark and cloudy night
To watch out, perhaps discover

And they met--not by appointment
On the line betwixt their lands;
And, q strange coincidence, each

what AIal.es a cat rread softlyq

Grandpa, what makes cat tread
softly?" asked little Findout Of his aged
relative as the pair sat down to improve
their minds when the evening lamps
were lighted.
''It is a faculty provided by nature,
my son, which enables tho cat to walk
softly. replied the old man as he laid
down his paper and beamed on the
youthful seeker after knowledge. "All
members of the cat tribe are endowed
with noiseless tread, which greatly
facilitates their capturing their prey.
You have doubtless noticed that the
pedal extremities of the feline arc fur
nished with soft, yelyety balls or coy-
erings, instead of hoofs. These balls ex-
tend below the claws, which are drawn
up when not in use, enabling the cat to
walk across a board floor without the
slightest noise.
"Oh. that isn't what makes a cat
tread softly said Tommy when the
old man had finished.

papa.

happy smile lit up his ingenious face.
