The prospect seems to indicate that
in the near future, under our single
gold standard, the farmers will have to
get eff the earth, as the other fellows
will own it.-TuIare County News.

they have little to read, there is no

Bill Deal scarcely ever gets mad, for
he is a jovial good fellow, but Monday
morning was an exception. Bird dogs
and Grey hounds visited his premises
Sunday night AID killed twenty-tour
half grown turkeys and an old gobbler.
His numerous friends whom he has
been in the habit of supplying with
Christmas turkey will have to look
elsewhere, says the L9noir Topic.
Mr.. J. N. Howie, of Providence
township, was in the city to day and
brings disc0uraging reports of the
ravages of lice in the cotton fields. The
trouble from this source appears to be
serious in that section of Mecklenburg,
and the adjoining counties in South
Carolina. Mr.. HOWE says that SO far,
the cotton crop has been cut short
fully one fourth, says the Charlotte
News.
Monday night Off :er Benton arrested
three Fayetteville boys and a boy
tramp, charged with rocking the South
bound vestibule train on the A. @. L
They were taken before Squire Over
by Tuesday, and as there was no evi
dence against three of them, they were
discharged. the one held was required
to give a justified bond of $50 for his
appearance Saturday, says the Fay
~ettevIlle Observer.
Greenville Reflector: We learn that
q severe hail and wind storm passed
over the section between Great Swamp
and Griddle creek on Thursday even
ing, Many farms were badly damaged.
The worst sufferer seems to be Mr..
J. r Barnhill, near Ber-a church. His
crops are almost entirely ruined, the
tobacco crop especially. He says he
will have to cut it all down.
Several weeks ago Calvin Sorrell
and Major Smith had a diff guilty.
Smith was severely wounded with a
ball from a rife. 1t is learned that
Smith also shot at Sorrell several times
with a pistol. Sorrell evaded arrest
until Monday when he came in gave
himself up to the sheriff and had a
hearing before Justice S W Parker
and gave bond for appearanceat court,
says the Dunn Union.
Fayetteville Observer: Mr.. Henry
OVERLY has exhibited to US q remark
able bug, which Mr.. Jim Wright, of
Campbellton found on a ~wortleberry
bush. 1t is about an eighth of an inch
in diameter, and on its back is the per
feet representation of a human face,
eyes, forehead, hair, nose, mouth and
chin. 1t is like the face Of a mulatto
girl. The eyes appear also, through a
magnifyiDg glass, to be the eyes of the
bug itself, and one person who exam
ined il through a microscope say g that
he saw them wink. Barnum's wooley
horse wasn't a circumstance to it.
Winston Sentinel: Mr.. George W.
Hinshaw was in Yadkinville Monday

entry of 100 acres to the bed of Yadkin
river at Shoals recorded as entered by
the Hinshaw & Medearis Co, Gays the
Ripple. They have also entered 100
acres of land Of the bed of the river on
Surry side, and have boughta quantity
of land on both sides of the river. This
land has been bought and entries made

MECCA FOR WIDOWS.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Have you ever been impressed by
the large proportion Of women past
middle life who appear at the public
places Of New York in mourning :?
You will be impressed if you look
about In the shopping streets and
popular prOmcnadcs and in the thea
tcrs, libraries, lecture haAs and cars.
The new city directory gives the
names Of 1850 widows, and inquiry,
as far as practicable, shows that Il
majority Of these came to the city to
live after their bcreayements. Attcn-
tlon was attracted TO this matter by
the conversation of two women in
mourning, who were passengers in a
Fifth avenue stage.
B Read /" said one of them, who had
three books in her hands. IL read
nearly all Of the time, and just revcl
in books. When | had to live in that
poky country town where | couldn't

well, It's relief to be allowed to
do as you please" said the other, "and
New York is the placeto do it. That
is just the reason came here when
my husband died. Now, | needn't
know any one, and have nobody to tell
me what to do. can go walking or
riding or to the theater, or where |
please, and always find something to
divert me-"
In one apartment house, of twenty
flats, in Madison avenue, titierG ttelrG live
eleven widows, who are seeking to1

Of a great city.

THE NEGRO'S SPHERE.
Knoxville Sentinel.

Knoxville Sentinel.
Booker II. Washington, the head Of
the Tuskcgec Institute, and probably
the most prominent negro, is a leader
from whom the race may look for
guidance and advantage to itself.
Washington has recognized two great
facts that are really the leading in
fluences on the his history of his race
in this country. First, the negroes in
America must remain for the most
part in the Southern States second,
they must content themselves with
being the great body of laborcrs Of
that Section for some time. From
these he draws two conclusions-that
the Southern negro and the Southern
white man must look on each other as
friends and work together for the up.
building Of the country they must
necessarily co-inhabit, and that to be
the laborlng class OF this section the
race must be educated principally in
industrial pursuits aud become the
skilled lab0rer to compete with the
skilled laborcr of other sections.

THE ORIGIN OF JINGO.
HOW 1T CAME TO APPLY TO ADyO.
GATES OF A WAR POLICY.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The origin of the word "jingo" ID
interesting at this time when one is
confronted with it so often. At the
close OF the Russo-Turkish war, which
terminated so disastrOusly for the
Turks, and causeda feeling OF apprc.
heHsiOn IN Eagland that the Russians
were bent on taking Cohstahtinople
and the ultimate dismembermcnt of
the Turkish empire, change which
could not he tolerated, the public
feeling found expression in England
upon the stage in pantomimes and in
the music halls by numerous patriotic
songs. The chorus Of one was as fol.
lows:
I'VE don't want to fight. but; by lingo, il we
do,
We've got the men, we've got the ships; we've
got the money. too.
We fought the lear before, and while we're
Britons true
The Russians shall not have Constantinoplc.
The song became most popular and
was heard on every street corner, from
every organ grinder, and was whistled
by every bootblack. Shortly after this
the election campaign began, in which
the head of the Liberals,
attacked the Tory party, then led by
the Earl Of Beaconsheld, who was I'M
power. The Tory foreign policy was
ridiculed and they were stigmatized
by the Liberals as ''the party OF blooG-
shed, glory and jngo."
From the time Of this election cam:
paign, which resulted in the defeat OF
the Tories and the accession Of the
peace party, Gladstone's 1880 adminiss
tration, the word "jingo' has been
used to denote an individual or sec1
tion Of party ready to rush without
mature consideration into all the hOrs
rOrS or war

THE TONG CE.

"Thc bOneless tongue. so small ana weak.
Can crush and kill" declared the Greek.
"The tongue destroys greater horde"
The Turks assert, "than does the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith: -.
~ lengthy tongue. an early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead:
Don't let your tongue cut of your head"
Say the Chinese. "outstrips the steed."
While the Arab sages this impart:
The tongues great storehouse Is the heart.
From the Hebrew wit the m'ssiin sprung:
Though feet should slip, nc'er let tht
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the. whole:
'Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul"

"The Mississippi Baptist, one Of
the leading denominatonal papers of
the State, doesn't take we'll to the
new custom, adopted in some city
churches Of taking sacramental wine
through syphon, or glass tube, in-
stead of slipping, in the old fashioned
way. Some fool crank of a theorist up
north advocated the idea that there
was danger of transmitting poisonous
germs from one to another by church
members slipping wine from the same
cup in communion services, and no
matter how great fool man may
be, or what senseless theory he may
advocate, he will always find some
fools to follow and endorse him. So
the ovcr-nce millionaire christians of
the bon ton palace churches Of the
cities now suck the communion wine
through glass or silver tubes to avoid
the deadly microbe that lies in wait
on the lips of the sanity brother or
sister cOmmunist.-Quitman Quill.

Regarding the recent outrageous
speech which Senator Tillman deliver
cd in the United States Senate in
which he made il brutal and vulgar
attack on President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle, the New York Mail
and Express has this to say:
With tears of noble shame in her
eyes South Carolina may look fair and
full into the face OF her degradation
this morning. From Hyperion to u
satyr-from Matthew c. Butler, the
gallant soldier and accomplished gen.
tleman, to such man as Tillman--is,
indeed, slip backward. The seats
once occupied by Calhoun and Hayne.
and latterly by Hampton and Butler,
now held by Tillman and Irby New
York has suffered from degeneration
in the character of her Senators, but
nothing like To this. Poor South
Carolina!

PlNCHING OFF VS.. PRUNING.

Intelligent hofticnlturists, says
Meellan's Monthly, have dbout. given
up trying to educate the public to put
away the hatchet, saw, shears, and to
great extent the pruning knife, and
do all with the finger and thumb In
May and June. In the Old World this
knowledge is more diffused. Writing
of orange culture in Italy, one Of our
consuls says that there the object
aimed at in pruning is to bring the
greatest surface of the tree possible
to the direct action Of air and light.
The spherical form is considered best.
To keep this form shoots are pinched
off in June each year. In the early
spring weak and dead wood, and for
gotten useless shoots, are cut out to
let the light and air in among the
branches; d sharp knife must be used.

the presidents friends i'm the intervening
states set their faces strongly against all
such suggestions Other namos put for
ward are Secretary J. Sterling Morton,
Secretary Carlisle, General John Black OF
Illinois, Senator Villas, senator Palmer
and Congressman Cultivate, and there
is still some talk Of Senator Gray, of Della
ware despite his firm refusal
General Tracy Of New York, the Della
ware delegate Controller Eckels, and
o hers cling to the suggestion of Villas,
but the Wisconsin senator insists that the
Badger state is for Bragg, and that he
does not desire the honor. The Illinois
delegates say that the nomination Of Gen
eral Black would interfere with the local
canvass, as they have nominated General
Black for governor David Lawler, OF
Minnesota, is for Secretary Carlisle. The
kentuckian's name is received with favor,
but there is an undercurrent of opinion
that the nomination Of any one connected
with the administration would be unwise
