Years ago the members of the grange
purchased almost everything they
needed. and did not produce themselves
through the order, but of late compe-
tition has so reduced the cost of such
things that that part of the former
working of the institution has been
abandoned.

Mr.. Jackson will be hung according to

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

When a mans credit is good at the bar it
is often not good at the grocery store
Drink has blasted more homes and broken
more hearts than wars or famine or pesti-
lence.
Every woman who has to live with a
drunken husband knows that the devil is
still loose.
Nine drunkards out of ten are so to-day
because they did not resolve in youth to
lead sober life.
One of the greatest obstacles In the way OF
the temperance reform is the use of wine and
brandy on the tables OF the weil-to-do.
Drinking is sin, not in degree. but in It.
self.
If sins of to-day could be pictured truth
fully, how consistent would seem the char
acter that condems the drunkard to the
streets, yet encourages the use of the social
glass.
Bishop Gaines. at the African Methodist
Conference in Richmond, Va, served notica
that he would ordain no man to the ministry
who drank whisky, chewed tobacco or
smoked cigars.
Ignorance and evil persist in maintaining
that alcoholic liquor, as medicine and q
beverage, Is beneficial. Science and religion
assert that it is dangerous TO physical and
spiritual welfare. Which side do you wish
10 believe?
A Louisville lawyer, one ot the ablest men
ut the bar. who served ON bench, and is q
brother OF one Of the United states Supreme
Court justices, went 10 the city almshouse a

THE SMALL TWIST.

makers says: The small waist is no

Of course the American women, who

ing than fashions usually are. The
active, out-of-door life fashionable
women are now leading makes the
small waist almost an impossibility.
But dame fashion is never altogether
sensible. She particularly offsets her
favor of the large waist by the discard
ing of the puffed sleeves, whicn every
body will admit are very much more
comfortable than the tight sleeves
which will be worn by modish women
this winter. .-Demorest's Magazine.

Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, seal
skin and mouffion, which is light gray
in color, are the most fashionable
furs, but all the cheaper varieties
seem to have their uses. Chinchilla is
combined with seal this season, and
short capes of sable are used over long
ones of seal. The fur boleros will be
useful fashion for those who. have a
small amount of fur to be transformed
into fashionable garment. These are
very becoming to slight figures and
very stylish with wide revers. The
new fur coats are rather short, not SO
full in the basque as they were last
season, and have loose fronts.

A P1ucKY R1cYcnrsr.

An Englishman, now in Washington,
tells the Washington Post that
bicycling is even more prevalent in
that country than in this. "To get
possession of the coveted Wheel" he
says, ''our young women have been
known to make uncommon sacrifices.
The daughter of a clergyman, very
intelligent and popular young girl,
quite belle in highly respectable
set, hired out as waiting maid in a
part of the city remote from her home,
and by saving her small earnings man
aged to buy machine. By the
merest accident her identity was dis.
covered, and the story was made pub
lie, but the young lady did not lose
caste by the expose, and her friends
complimented her on her pluck"

HIS OWN BUSINESS.

"If man wants TO drink whisky that Is
his business" says the saloon apologist.
Let's see. When Bob Poland and Coon
Parker were drinking in Hoilin, Ala, last
Saturday night, and in their spree ran u car
OF the Southern Railroad off the switch and
out on the main track down tho grade, till II
stopped on n high trestle, it became the
Southern Railroads 'business."
And when loaded freight train came
along and rushed into the ear, causing a
100000 wreck, destroying much valuable
merchandise, it became the business OF a
great many merchants and shippers, as we'll
as the railroad.
And when three dead bodies were dug out
from under the wreck, it became the busi-
ness otsome wives ana orphans.
And when tho taxpayers are called upon
to support the families whose natural pro-
viders have thus been suddenly rakon away,
1t will become the business OF several other
people.
One mans drinking often becomes the
business of several hundreds or thousands
of people, and the man who cannot perceive
this fact ought 10 be sent at once to an insti.
tuition for the education Of the feeble mind.
