A POWERFUL APPEAL.

On one occasion John Nc

Tense of a provincial murder
case. The case looked hopeless.
Mr.. McSweeney submitted no
evidence for the defense. Be-
1ieving that the trial was won,
the States Attorney made only
a few perfuntory remarks in
conclusion, Then the great
leader began i'll quite a conver>
sational tone. No reference was
made to the murder, but Mr..
McSweeny drew a vivid picture
of a pretty country cottage, a
loving wife preparing supper,
three ruddy-faced youngsters
looking up the road to see papa"
coming home to supper. Sud
denly the speaker stopped. Draw
ing himself up to his full height,
he exclaimed in a tone which
startled the whole court room
"Gentlemen, you must send
him home to them y
A roar of applause followed,
and one grizzled old juror blur,

well do it sir, we'll do it !!
Mr.. insolvency instantly
stopped and sat down. The ju-
ry brought i'll a verdict of &C
quittal without leaving their
seats. The prisoner, with tears
streaming down his checks,
wrung his counsels hand, and
thanked him again and again.
But between his sobs he mans

And by the Albemarle section

This God favored section OF

and fish interest, and as having
the most diversified resources
of any territory of equal extent

The Man Who Won't Sub
scribe.

A writer vino is evidently
thoroughly familiar with the
ups apd downs Of a country
publisher, writes the following ::
"When You ask a man to sub
scribe for your paper, and he
says ooh, l never read much,
and besides times are too plagued
tight, for Gods sake apologize
to him for the mistake and leave
him. Life is too short to waste
time trying to teach a jackass
how to sing soprano. All gem
tlemen nowadays read neWspa-
pcrs-and lots of them. Show
as a man.who lives for years in
town Or county and never sub
scribes for the paper published
there, and we will show you
man whose head is shaped like
piece of pie, with the point up,
and whose ignorance is only ex-
ceeded by his gigantic gall. A
country newspaper is all institu-
ton that works day and night
for every decent man in the
community therefore every de,
cent man in the community is
honor bound to assist in its
support. The great trouble is
that some swell head galoots
fancy they are making the edi>
tor a present when they take his
paper. We have the profound
est sympathy for the man who
lives in county for years and
never subscribes and pays for
his county paper. If that poor
fellow was to encounter an idea
III lane, he would turn and fly
the other way, with the tail of
his garment beating the atmos>
phere. Don't waste much time
on such cattle. One of them has
not enough sense to keep warm
