LINCOLN.
His Fairness In Debate and His Views on
the Value of Books.


The first timc met Mr.. Lincoln was
during his ,@ntest with Douglas. | was a
young Clergyman in small Illinois coun.
try town. / was almost stranger there
when Lincoln was announced to make a
speech, l went to the hall, got seat well
forward and asked IL neghbor to point ont
MIR. Lincoln when he came in. "You
won't have no trouble KNOWN him when
he comes" said my friend and l didn't.
Soon a TALL gaunt man came down the
aisle and was greeted with hearty applause.
| was specially impressed with the fair
ness and honesty of the man. He began
by stating Douglas points as fully and
fairly as Douglas could have done. 1t
struck me that he even uvcrdid it in his
anxiety to put lis oppui as argument in
the most attractive fol.u. But then he
went at those arguments and answered
them so convincirgly that there was moth
ing more to be said
MIR Lincoln's manner so charmed me
that l asked " meet him after the address,
and learning that he was tn bo in town
the next day attending court / invited him
to dine with me. He came, and we had an
interesting visit.
The thing that most impressed me was
his reverence fer learning. Recently como
from divinity studies, | was full of books,
and he was earnest in drawing me out
about them. He was by no means ignorant
of literature, but as u man of affairs natu-
rally he had not followed new things nor
studied in the lines ! had. Philosophy in
terested him particularly, and after we had
talked about some of the men then in
vogue he remarked how much he felt the
need of reading and what a loss it was to
a man not to have grown up among books.
Men of force, l answered, "can get on
pretty well without books. They do their
own thinking instead of adopting what
other men think"
Eyes" said Mr.. Lincoln, "but books
serve to show man that those original
thoughts of his aren't very new, after all. "
i met Mr.. Lincoln several times later,
the next time "a long while after in anoth-
err place l thought he would have forgot
ten me, but he knew me on sight and ask
ed in the gentlest way possible about my
wife, who had boon i'll when he came to
see us. But of all my memories of Lin
coin the one that stands out strongest was
his interest in poetry and theology. He
loved tho things of the spirit.-New York

THE DRUMMER's LATEST.
In the Thcster Re HAD More FUN Than
Was Intended.

In the ThcAter lie HAD More FUN Than
Was Intended.
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here it Is:
Take spool Of white basting cotton
Drop 1t into your inside coat pocket, and
threading needle with it pass It up
through the shoulder Of your coat. Lenve
the end an inch ur so long on the outside
Of your cont and take off tho needle. Four
men out Of five will try to pick that whole
thread off your shoulder and will pull on
the spool until it actually docs seem as
though your clothes were all hastings and
that they were unraveling not only your
clothes, but yourself.
~ went to SEQ Wilson Barrett in 'Clnu-
dian in Boston, said the travelling man.
1t WAS ia the most interesting and pa
thetic portion Of the play. Everybody was
rapt. was sitting bolt upright and didn't
know or care to know a soul around me,
when suddenly | felt some one Juggling at
that busting cotton that | myself had clean
forgotten. | didn't say word and did
not move Foot by foot it unrnlled. Half
glancing around / saw mana total
stranger-yanking at the thread. His face
was scarlet. He had pulled out about ten
yards and was now hauling in hand over
hanu. lie dlun { care to stop because he
had decorated my back and the whole aisle
with basting cotton. He hardly dared to
go ahead, for he didn't know what portion
Of my domestic interior economy he was
trfing with. Rip, rip. went the thread.
Hand over hand he yanked it in. The aisle
was full of it. For heavens sake, will it
never end II said he above his breath.
81 sat perfectly still and ran the spool
while he pulled. How l wanted to yell l
never saw anything half so funny. The
whole section of the house got on to it.
They didn't know whether to laugh at me
or him, but sat and looked on amazed at
the spectacle. At last the stranger behind
gave one frantic rip and yunked out about
l yards in one bunch, and as the cotton
got twisted around his watch chain, over
his eyeglasses, in his hair and filled his
lap, turned around ana producing the
spool from my pocket said: Il am srry l
misled you. You see l have about 1874
yards left, but presume that you don t
care for any more tonight. am honestly
sorry, but can't help smiling
1.-THE man was Il modest sort of gentle
man in appearance. His face was as red
as fire even tn his ears. He looked at me
and then at the spool. He changed color
once or twice, and when the crowd caught
on n big laugh went up. "-American

A certain shopwalker in a large estab-

under him in business. One day he APP

"Well, but

"Half crown. She's book canvasser,

And the shopwalker retired crestfallen.

Corn Bread IN the South.

In discussing the possibilities OF
vast corn trade with Europe in the
future it might be we'll to notice that
corn as a breadstuff is rapidly losing
it's popularity at home. Many Ameri-
cans forty years of age and older
remember we'll when corn bread was
a portion of their diet six days in the
week. Especially was this true in
the Southern States. The art of
cooking hoe cake, corn dodger and
egg bread reached high standard
of excellence, and wheat flower came
in for use only once or twice a week.
All this has been changed. Even
the Southern negroes have largely
deserted corn bread for -four bread,
and the hoe cake, corn dodger and
corn muffin now exist chiefly in our
songs and literature. Not one cook
in a thousand now knows how to
make the corn bread of the olden
time, and this fact in connection with
the more abundant wheat has re-
duced the consumption of corn bread
to a mere triAe, comparatively. While
we are educating Europe, then, as to
the delights of corn bread, we might
learn the same lessons, which we
seem we'll nigh to have forgotten.
Good corn bread is hard to beat, and
it would certainly be wise not to turn
over entirely to our hogs and cattle,
nor yet to the poor of Europe, the
life giving clements Of the American
corn crop.

70 Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalauts
or other local applications. Catarrh
is a constitutional disease, and can
be successfully treated only by means
of a constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which thoro-
ughly puri6es the blood and re-
moves the scrofulous taints which
cause catarrh. The great number of
testimonials from those who have
been cured of catarrh by Hoods Sar-
saparilla prove the unequalled power
of this medicine TO conquer this dis
ease. If troubled with Catarrh give
Hoods Sarsaparilla fair trial at
once. 8

low prices, the crop IS taEon and
consumed: yet in order the more
readily to accomplish our purpose OF
controlling prices, we recommend dthe
increase of other crops and the con
sequent reduction of the cotton crcr;
thereby becoming less dependent on
others for supplies and more indie.
pendent in the sale of our cotton.
"3. That this meeting should adopt
decisive measures to secure the CO.
operation of cotton growers in all
sections of the country in adopting
some system by which prices can be
maintained, SO as to give the pro,
ducer fair remuneration.
II. Looking therefore to the fur,
therance OF the above recommenda-
tions we adopt as part of ourreport
the preamble and resolutions adopted
on yesterday by this convention, viz:
I'm view of the magnitude Of tie
organization necessary to meet, with
any promise of success, the dlSas-
trous condition that confront the
producers Of cotton, involving the
active cooperation of the individual
producer from North Carolina to
Texas: and in view of the necessity
for a full representative meeting at
every stage of the organization.
"De it resolved. !. That the pres
ident of the convention be author
lied to call an interstate cct'On
growers convention to be held IN the
city of Atlanta the first Tuesday in
January or as soon thereafter as
practicable, at which meeting each
cotton growing State lie requested to
send as many representatives as 1t
now has members OF the United
States house of representatives, 70:
the purpose Of devising ways and
means to avert the disaster that
threatens.
-. That a delegate from each con-
gressional district be appointed to
said convention from this State.
''3. That the president of this
meeting call upon agricultural organ
izations in other cotton growing
states, or in the absence Of agricul
tural organization, reques. the Gov
ernor of such State to call similar
meetings in their respective States,
for the purpose of discussing the
situation and electiog delegates to
the said interstate cotton growers
convention.
II. That in the opinion of this
body, nothing short of township
organization as the basis, reaching
up through. county and State organi
zation, will prove efectual in this
great work"
And we recommend that delegates
from the several congressional dis
tricts in the State and two delegates
at large be elected to represent this
association"
Mr.. L. W. Youmans introduced
the following, which was adopted
without dissent:
"Resolved, That the secretary of
this association be instructed to serve
copy Of these resolutions on Mr..
Hector B Lane, president of the
Southern Cotton Growers Protective
association"
