to discharge any great mission any
man who did not profess strong and
abiding convictions, and in this he has
taught us to be ever mindful of those
who should be our bearers:
just here then, my dear friends. par
don me for the illusions. bu t Tod
grant the speedy day when we shah
all gre with one accord to bury for
ever our past petty differences in mat
tiers political and once more march in
solid phalanx hand in hand together
with white supremacy as our guild
ing star, forgetting not the old axiom,
United we stand, divided we fall"
When the wicked rule, the people
MOURN" is as true now as when these
lines were indicted in "holy writ"
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty
and this ought to live in the hearts of
all true patriots.
Now to the dear women of our
try, God bless them forever, for they
rel gave UNREASONABLE evidence of
their true patriotism n love of cOun-
try, for -Jur long and weary years, as
no other people could have One
With untold fortitude and resigna-
ton, they accepted the true situation,
and with a a smile, a kiss and with
a parting word of encouragement they
hurried to battle their dear husbands,
their brothers, their sons, their brave
n noble hearts then bleeding and
broken from the SAD WORD
It would be base ingratitude, my
comrades, were we to forget, too, the
worthy negroes of our country, then
our trusted slaves, at whose tender
mercy we were forced to leave our
devoted wives. our sainted mothers,
and dear sisters. May they reap thei
reward.
In closing, let me again, my friends
n comrades, as n who loves you,
God knowing the sincerity of my heart,
I beseech you, 1 pray you, to come once
more together, forgetting the late I'M
fortunate dissessiOns that nave come
between some of us in matters political
| and resolve to work together in the fu-
ture as we have 10 in the past for
| the welfare of Our common country,
believing and knowing that the intel
| ligent Anglo-Saxon race is the only one
| competent to run the affairs of our
| country, and may we all with pride,
! and from the bottom Of our hearts re-
| peat the familiar lines, viz:
| "Carolina, Carolina, heavens blessings
attend her,
| While we live, we will cherish, protect
and defend her"

THE RIGHT WAY.

A young man while going to his
home down South blackberry street
last night about 10 o'clock was sudden
ly asked to stop for an interview" by
a tall shabbily dressed looking fellow
with a SLOUGH hat pulled down over
his eyes and large stick in his hand,
Just as he arrived near the corner of
Dashiell and blackberry streets, the
fellow stepping out from behind a high
board fence in the rear of Mr.. Sliger's
residence, but the young fellow was
rot in mood for an interview and
replied to the fellows command with
two shots from a IS calibre Smith &
Wesson which he accidentally had in
his pocket. This evidently dispelled
the desire of the would be interview
er" for chat as he took to his heels
through the brush like Mike O'Connor
on home run.

FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To he a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man SO
overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
form Of nervous debility; relieves
them Of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in remedy
which will restore them to health
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence OF
untold misery. AS the remedy In
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor
ing to men the strength they need, Il
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy a
once. A request to III. g. Olds, Boz
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that YOU
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wisl
to make use of the medicine by givini
it a trial, will be answered prompt,
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how MI
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about tn
offer being genuine. Cut this out an,
send to Mr.. Odds so that he ma,
know how you came TO write him.

DIR. f. Martin Mr.. Brand has ever
been a firm advocate of democratic
principles, and that was doubtless the
only reason the present administration
could find for discharging him. He Is
one of the best known and most
popular citizens of Corder, and no
objection of any kind had ever been
made against his able and efficient
manner of conducting the business OF

possible excuse can be made for his

The republicans are firm supporters OF
the civil service rules when the situa-

adherents, but equally as skillful IN
disregarding the rules when the sltua-

Farm Washed Away.

From the Kentucky Gazette.
Mrs. John Reid, of this city, owned
a farm of several hundred acres IN the
river bottom just above Lexington,
Mo-, which was exceedingly fertile and
upon which there were number of
tenants and several very comfortable
improvements. Her agent had been
offering 1t for sale, but did net get a
satisfactory offer. The present high
water in the Missouri river has swept
the whole farm away and all the inn
pIovements, at loss of about eight or
ten thousand dollars. The only remark
Mrs. Reid made when she received a
dispatch informing her of the loss OF
the farm was that ''she was glad that
the farm had not been sold as those
who had offered to purchase could not
have afforded the loss as well as she
can" Such generous sentiments in
those possessed of wealth dIsarms
jealousy and envy, and will always
carry the best wishes for those pos
sessed of it from every class in the
community. Those who know Mrs.
Reid give her full credit for sincerity
in this as in every other generous
sentiment, for her life is devoted 10
good deeds, and she finds her chief
happiness in making other people
happy. The treacherous river that
lately took away her farm may restore
it to her and many additional acres
besides.
