paign Of he century has just closed
the fight for justice is over, the lib

low Populists for the gallant man

selves at the poles, for the heroic
effort they made for Bryan and
silver, the patriotism they display

I know ofno political party so de-
void of prejudice, as the Populist
party; the party who in a moment
OF great crises, dissolved its self for
the time being, and united its every
energy with an old antagonist, for
the purpose Of achieving something

Plutocrafs may'call us anarchists,

condolences have been known. Twice
President Lincoln dreamed OF his OWL
assassination, and at last his PRESENT.
u,ent of wee was fulfilled.
Then we have the case Of Cameron OF
Lochiel. He believed himself to lie
under ban; and one night in a dream
a word was whispered to him, and he
was told that the word was his fate.
But for long years. during which he
travelled far, he could not remember
the Sateful word.
He crossed the Atlantic, and fought
with his regiment In the district near
Lake Champlain; and one evening
when he was strolllng In moody hu-
NOR through a lonely gorge, he met a
gentleman whom he saluted.
The salute was returned, and Cam
eron saw that the shape before him wa

A sory of this kind is told of at
icrst hIlf-a-dozen Highland families,
and the true believer would esteem q
man mere cold@blooied sceptic who
suggested that the chief saw his refec-
tion on glossy wreath Of mist, and
was afterward killed In the ordinary
course cf fighting. ..,
A certain rioh man always believed
Shat he should know desperate poverty;
visions of disaster were with his night
and day. His misery was unspeakable;
to him all his presentiments were real;
and in tho very height of his prosperity
his dismal thoughts drove him to q
suicidal freak which nearly ended his
days.
AS matter On fact, the unfortunate
man died from the mere misery which
disordered nerves inflicted upon him.
Our duty Is to reason with "melan-
choliac" persons. and not to ridicule
them; and we warn all who give way to
dolorous visions that every such vision
is delusion, and one that an hour OF
fresh air would dispel.

The advance in medical science
Is greater than in any other branch
The discovery Of the X rays and
the finding of malaria in the blood
by analysis are themost recent dis
coveries, but not the greatest by
any means. The discovery Of Il
remedy or medicine that will in
stantly bring relief to almost any
form of disease we think is beyond
conception. A remedy that does
not require hours and hours Of pa
tience and pain before relief comes
has been discovered. Pooh! you
say. Would you have believed II
few years ago that the telephone is
such a great invention as it is =?
Just so it is with the great dis
covery of Lightning Hot Drops, Il
remedy that stands to-day without
an equal, without parallel for the
cure of all stomach and bowel
troubles, caused by over eating, in.
digestion, dyspepsia. Relief comes
so quickly you will be astonished,
and the fact that it leaves no bad
results is the beauty of 1t. The
action of Lightning Hot Drops is
marvellous, yet harmless, and you
will be surprised to know how
many different kinds of ailments
you will find it good for, and ifyou
once use ityou will have no occasion
to keep a cupboard full of different
kinds OF bottles, for Lightning Hot
Drops will do the work of plasters,
pills, ointments, tonics, etc, and
.avp-you lots of money, for it costs
only Csc, and the 50c size holds q
times as much as the 25c size, and
1t is sold with the positive under
standing that If 1t gives no relief

New York,s Grcntest Scene.

New York's famous thoroughfare,
Broadway, has been the scene of
some wonderful events. But the
one scene which still stands as the
most remarkable, in point Of en-
thusiasm, Is Louis Kossuth's fam
Gus ride up Broadway, in 1851.
Kossuth had already seen and
passed through a crowd Of 100000
people in his triumphal ride up the
great thoroughfare. The culimin-
atlng moment, however, occurred
when the great Hungarian patriot
reached the corner Of Broadway
and Ann Street. The sight that
burst upon him staggered him for
thu moment. In the open square
directly before him was massed to-
gether II quarter Of II million OF
people, and when this vast con-
course broke into united cheer
KOssuth was fairly bewildered. No
man saw this great event SO well
and advantageously rs did Parke
Goodwin, the veteran New York
editor and Kossuth's closest friend
in America. Mr.. Goodwin was with
Kossuth, and for the first time he
will now tell the story Of the mar
velous event in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. The actual
scene ut Ann Street will also be
shown in II picture by De Thulstrup,
showing Kossuth in his carriage

ONE of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the Farmers Institute was
presented when the editor of the
Sentinel took the floor and made a
speech in, favor Of good roads.
During the season Of good roads
agitation in this community the
Sentinel has made a continual and
uninterrupted fight against the idea
of any Improvement along these
lines. What were the influences
brought to bear upon the old gen.
tleman that he should make such
a decided and sudden and public
change of base, we can only sur
mise. But the effort upon his part
betokcns a.little spark of life yet,
which with proper care may be
famed into tiny blaze to flicker
a little befpre,it finally goes out.
Can ii be that the old man has
found out that the "world do
move?"

Good Country Roads.

There has been SO much written
and published on the Importance tc
the farmer of good roads, that
scarcely anything new can be said
on the subject. Yet 80 much of the
prosp rity of the farmers interests
depends upon the con lition Of the
country roads that we venture t.
repeat what most farmers already
know.
The difference between good
roads and bad ones often accounts
for tho difference between success
and failure. This may seem strong
assertion, but let us look at the
conditions of two farmers with
equally good farms, few miles
from II good public road, which
leads to a good market. They both
can raise on their farms products
which they must market to get
their full value. The one has a
good cross road, easy of access,
which within mile reaches Il pub
lie highway, and he can always
haul his hay and his corn, his
chickens and his butter and his
eggs to market at the time of year
that they bring the highest prices,
which is generally in the fall and
winter. He prepares his product
for the market and has always q
team ready TO 60 to town when the
time comes. lie gets the highest
prices for all his products and gets
to town and b,ck in the least pos.
SlOie tline. Ills farming Is ADJUST
ed to supplying IA market which he
knows he can always reach when
he wishes. His family, ton, can
make calculations for their neces-
sary tips to town. They know the
ro IDS are always in COOL condition
and that even the coldest or rough
est weather Of winter need not stop
them.
They can make the most possible
profit from their trailing in the
town, and they ar always on the
alert for the most profitable mark
citing.

TIE much promised and over.
rated prosperity to Immediately
follow the election of Mckinley
has not materialized to any alarm
ing degree.
Campaign argument may con-
vince some men for the time being,
but the, trend of events carries
with it conviction.
We see in all the larger cities
demands>are being made for work
in order to bring TO families the
neccssaries OF life. We are glad to
know that these demands are being
responded to by the auth' rites in
providing labor for the needy, by
the anticipation of next years taxes
or improvements otherwise provid-
ed for.
This seems to be the right move
ment in the right direction-a fair
chance to earn a living for ones
self and family by honest toll. The
American luborer is not a willing
pauper. He does not ask for charity,
but he does ask, and has the right
to demand, that an opportunity be
given him at'all times to exchange
fair, honest days labor for bread.
Whenever This cannot be done
there is something wrong in the
body polite.
If demands be made during the
winter upon us to aid in furnishing
some with the necessities Of life,
let our authorities see to it that
this be d9ne TO the able bodied,
through a chance to work. TO our
sick and suffering the open hand
and the warm heart ought always
be extended. But to the strong,
willing laborer must be given a
chance to make, his own way. ,,

The B!cssings OF dinner.

A good deal may be said In favor OF
dinner-it is the staple meal OF the
day-thc sheet anchor Of our appetite
to which we cling with beautiful and
cdifying constancy. Breakfast Is good
and supper excellent; but dinner has a
place and a merit that are all Its own.
1t Is the satisfying meal, par excellence,
You may be disappointed OF every
other, and yet go to bed in righteous
temper so long as YOU dine. With a
sublime instinct, humanity everywhere
looks forward to dinner-under Afri-
can palm trees, where the menu is Inn
tied TO handful of dates and pot OF
ghee; among Arctic ice foes, where the
chief dish is the unctuous blubber; on
Asiatic steppes, where the Tartar
horseman cuts beefsteak from the
nearest bull.
Again. from moral point, 1t has
much to recommend 1t to the attention
OF the philosopher. 1t exercises over us
a humanizing influence. similar to that
OF the pursuit of the liberal arts,
which. as the Latin poet says, softens
the manners, nor suffers them to be
come brutal.
That man, after he has dined, feels
more genial, more benevolent, more
sympathetic, is one OF those eternal
facts in which all the world puts trust.
The milk OF human kindness, by hap
py; combination with stimulating and
peDtic essences. is converted into
cream.
He who has dined we'll and wisely
---for observe, the science OF prandial
therapeutics pre-supposes that the dim
ner will BIZ excellent in quality, mod
crate in quantity, and Judicious In va
ricty-is fitted at once by some myste-
rious benignant process for the exer-
else OF all the Christian virtues.

The other farmer can, If he wish
e', raise just what his neighbor has
raised and sold for the cash. But
he is so hemmed in by bad roads,
that for one.half the y5ar he can
not calculate on the time that he
oan bring anything to town. He
must wait until the roads dry up,
or il, in his restraint, he becomes
impatient and determines to drag
through the mud, he must have
twice the time for the trip, so that
an all-day drive, mostly through
the mud, will scarcely accomplish
what his neighbor has done easily
in few hours. Besides, many
things which require frequent
marketing can not be taken to
market at the proper time, the
roads are too bad. There is, there
fore, no care taken to prepare them
for the market. IF butter ac-
cumulates, or eggs are gathered
from the barn, they must be sold to
the huckster at II reduced price,
aud become at once second class,in
which there is no profit. The cows
are not cared for, as If the butter
could be marketed ut high prices,
for even high grapes are not profit
able and The chickens are not Sc
lected for their egg producing quail
tiles, for to them an egg Is an egg,
and II pound Of butter sold to the
huckster need have no great care,
for the wife dots not get much for
it, and she must % ften take the price
in barter, because she cannot go to
town To get what she needs until
the roads get better.
The difference In the order and
thrift in the two families soon be-
comes apparent. The, one becomes
thrifty and prosperous, and the
other becomes careless and shift
less; and not because they were
not originally both anxious and
able TO improve and prosper, but
because Que has been lastered up
one-half the year by tho mud of the
bad roads, and IT, 3 other has had
free access to town, driving always
on good roads and doing the shop
ping and marketing under the best
possible conditions.
Good roads, with modern helps,
can be easily constructed, IL the
county commissioners and farmers
will unite for definite purpose. In
most cases the farmer never ex-
poets to make good road by the
work he is willing to spend on it.
His object often goes no further
than TO work out his taxes and to
mend the road in his immediate
neighborh0od. This work, too, Is
a'most always done when he has
nothing else 10 do, or when he
thinks he can spare the time. His
work consists in filling up. the
chuck-h0les with sand or gravel IL
they are near at hanl, or, II neither
can be had, then with clay or so |
and soil. The end of it all l., that
when the road is used, two holes
are often made, where there was
only one before, and the road will
be had, or worse next year than
;his.-Farm News.

The Bristol Times prints the foliowing:
The Times has the information direct
from headquarters that Mr.. John y.
Adams, Of Richmond. has contracted TO
deliver 1900 tons OF pyrites between this
and the lst day Of January, 1895. This ore
will be taken from the mines on Stoney
creek in Carter county. He is pushing
the mining and delivery now while con-
ditions are favorable. In the meantime
eh has broken dirt for his railroad from
the mines to ElizabethtOn and has quite
a force Of men at work upon tho grading
The contract he has secured was IN
direct competition with Spanish mines
and the natural conclusion is that he was
able to underbld the Spaniaris either in
price or quality-may be botn.
Tho Times throws up its hat and gives
three cheers for Mr.. Adams. Any man
who Is now able TO turn labor into cash
and put il into circulation in this coun-
try has our unqualified support and good
will.
He should have the backing and en-
couragement Of every man IN the country
and we sincerely trust that his business
will grow in magnitude and the volume
Of his income be increased in proportion.
What we want and need Is such enter
prise as Mr.. Adams has shown, 10 turn
our rich mountains into cash through the
medium of the labor Of our country.
Good for you Mr.. Adams.
