Farmers arc Blessed.

Neither Polk, nor Pierce, nor
Harrison nor johnson, nor Grant
saw his three score and ten. But
over since King David made the
declaration that the days of our
years are three score years and ten
that has been the allotted age of
man. It is still the average age of
a prudent man, whatever may be
his occupation. Man is very much
like a wagon. If it is kept creased
and painted and under shelter it
will last twice as long as if it be
neglected. Of course, the mind
has much to do with the health of
the body. Trouble will shorten
life and bring the gray hairs sooner
to the grave and that is why far
mer's life is the most conductive to
longevity. 1t is the most indie
pendent of all occupations. 1t is
subject to less temptations, less
hazard, less worry, and it is n little
closer to God in its daily cop mu-
Mon with nature. The ACC oted
tables give to laborers forty four
years, to mechanics forty seven, to
merchants forty-eight, 10 profess
sional men fifty-two, and to farm
ers sixty-four years. If long life
is an index of good health and
prosperity then the farmer is bless
ed above all other people. There
is force and truth in the old maxim
that "God made the country and
man made the town"

Quite large party of her young

Miss Edith Fish, at the M. E.
Parsonage on last evening, in
honor of her eighteenth birthday,
Miss Edith received many very
handsome presents. Games and
other amusements were engaged
in until 9:3O, when elegant re-
freshments were served, to which
all did ample justice. The hilarity
was then resumed until about
11:3O, when the guests departed,
all declaring that they had enjoy
ed themselves very much, and
wishing their fair young hostess
many happy returns of the day.

An Interview With Squire Blagg.

An Interview With Squire BIagg.
Squire Ben Blagg, of Union, was
in town yesterday attending to
some matters before the County
Court, but took time to answer
In few questions asked him by a
reporter of this paper.
"How about news?"
"Well as to news, some worth
less ours killed twelve sheep and
limbs for Mark Sayre one night
last week, and few nights later
they, or some others, killed four or
five for Dan Harris"
ANY candidatesY"
eve have on the Republican
side one candidate for Assessor,
Mr.. f.. p. Miller, and one for
County Commissioners, Mr.. j. w.
Sayre. / suppose that Mr.. Dunn,
the present incumbent, will be a
candidate for denomination on the
Democratic ticket"
"How about the silver question:"
"For my own part / am in favor
of a reimbursement of the ratio, and
after that the mints should be
opened to the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold,
regardless of any international
agreement"
"Would not free coinage restore
the parity at is to 1?"
"I think not. The production
of gold in the United States has
not kept pace with the population,
while there has been an enormous
increase in the production of sill
yer. just think, in 1860 there
was production of $46,O0O,OO0
gold and S15O,OOO of silver; in
1870, gold s5O,OOO,OOO and silver
$4,000, 900; in 1880, gold $4,000
600 and silver S39,OOO,OOO, and in
1890, gold S82,OOO,OOO and silver
S7O,OOO,OOO. Thus you see that
while the production of gold has
actually decreased in the last
thirty years, the production of
silver has been multiplied by more
than 400. / just give you these
figures to think about"

Death or Mr.. Enos Smith.

He was good citizen and every
body was his friend. In his death
this community has sustained n
great loss,
The longest-ranged Krupp steel
cannon weighs 100 tons and fires
a 1900 pound shot a few yards over

gun throws an 1,6OO-pound shot,
with 26O pounds of powder Ia
miles. The manufacture of these
has been practically abandoned as
they were unable to stand firing
100 times, and the Krupp gun cost
S195,OOO, while each projectile cost
S4,75O. The 22-ton Armstrong
gun throws solid shot II miles
so far that it's report cannot be
heard at the place where the shot
strikes. The Maxim gun, which a
soldier can carry, strapped to his
back, fires 600 shots minute.

The .'DerILn Did 1t.

A printers devil in Missouri
newspaper office was going through
his first experiment of making
up" the forms of the paper. The
paper was late and the boy got the
galleys mixed. The firstpart ofan
obituary of an inpecunious citizen
had been dumped into the forms,
and the next handful of type came
from a galley describing recent
fire. 1t read like this: "The pail
bearers lowered the body to the
grave, and it was consigned to the
flames. There were few if any re-
grets, for the old wreck had been
an eyesore to the town for years.
OF course there was individual loss
but that was fully covered by in
surance." The widow thinks the
editor wrote the obituary that way
because the lamented partner OF
her joys and sorrows owed him five
years subscription.
