ANOTHER CALL FOR SOLDIERS IN
THE ARMY OF THE KING.-Samuel
Humphreys, another good man and
soldier of the late war, died of
consumption Monday, the 18th, at
half-past two o'clock a. m. at his
home, near here. He was So years
month and 6 days old. He lived
the greatest portion OF his life liz
Fleming and Rowan counties, the
former where he was born and
raised. He was a man that could
not do too much for his friends,
who were many, and all who formed
his acquaintance. He had been a
great sufferer Of that dread disease
consumption, together with other
Affections, for over a year and a
half, yet he bore it all withous
grumbling. He had never made any
public confession Of his faith, vet
he was fun Of charity and had great
faith in his Master. He often said
during his sickness that he had no
hope OF his recovery of health and
that he would be proud when
deaths summons came to relieve
him Of his suffering, and often
stated in his feeble whisper in his
dying hour, while yet he was con-
scious of everything and that death
was at hand, that be was happy,
happy, glory, glory. He said this
often during the night to his faith
full companion, who watched over
him so closely. His remains were
followed by large concourse OF
friends and relatives on Tuesday,
the 10th, to its long resting place,
where it was laid in the johnson
graveyard, Fleming Co.
Another soldiers trials ended:
Another comparisons voice is still I;
Another place has been made vacant

Is in lands Of love So fair,
Where his little feet are waiting
Close beside the golden stair.
Lay aside Lis little playthings,
Wet with mothers p"arly tears:
How We shall miss Little Banks
All these weary coming years.
Fold the dainty little dresses
That hc never more VIII wear,
For his little feet are waiting
Up above the golden stair.
Kiss the little curly trcSScS
Cut from his bright golden hair:
! Do the angels kiss our little darling
In the realms 81 bright and fair?
| oh, We pray to meet our darling
For Il long, long sweet embrace,
Where his little feet are waiting
And will meet him face to face.

Mr.. Editor, as to Mr.. Cleveland's
financial ability it would seem that
he thinks the people very ignorant
or dull of comprehension when he
advises Congress to pass the act to
make the bonds payable in gold
when the law explicitly said they
should be paid in coin. If it meant
gold why not say gold? 1t only
takes the four letters to spell it. 1t
goes to show that he is not finan-
cial prodigy and that he thinks the
people are fools. Now, if this has
not been Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration l would ike to know whose
it is. While we know he is not the
law-making power IN sense he is
credited or discredited, as the case
may be. lie opposed the remonet-
izatioa OF silver without an inter
national agreement, and it was not
remonetized; but the agitation OF
the question brought nil this trou-
BILE and hard times on the people
International agreement though
makes the money all right. Still
it does not make the dollar any
bigger nor put any more silver in
it. Mr.. Cleveland may be good
financier. At least he has been il
his own case, for he is one of the
very few that has got to be mil
lionaire by being President. The
time has come for us all to get to
thinking. If a bond backed by the
people is better than gold issued by
the Government why not the money
backed the same way be as good a.
gold?

Uncle Rus Sage's Say.

II stand just where 1 did tvo
weeks ago" the alert old gentle
man proceeded. II told you then
| was bull on the general situa-
ton. / told you then i believed
everything was going to work out
all right. 1 told you then 1 felt
sure We were going to have great
big business improvement. But
then 1 told you, too, that this i'm
provement wasn't coming at any
gallop. 1t was gong to con- Glow.
When it got here it would last.
And l tell you those same things
now.
Enthusiasm over Mckinley get
ting into Office is all right, but get
ting into Office is one thing and
doing something after being in Of
flee is another thing. MeKinley's
all right. Was an original McKin-
ley man myself. Got his picture
over my Office desk. Good face TO
look up at. Good record to look
back at. Going to make a great
President. His administration will
be famous for good times. i be-
lieve that just as much as anybody
else-but that's no reason why I
should put myself on exhibition
as an understudy for a donkey at
country fair.
"The good times we want viii
come intelligently when they do
come. We've got to do something
more than press a button. To hear
the average man down in Wall
street talk you would imagine that
the magnificent era Of prosperity
we hear so much about is canped
out over here just back of Hobokep,
only waiting for sunrise on the 4th
of March to come gloriously float
ing over here on a Lackawanna
ferry boat. 1t won't. At least, /
don't think it will.
I'VE have got to do something Of
Importance before this EZRA of
prosperity gets to be fact. Before
We have good times We have got TO
get rid of bad times. Such changes
aren't any twinkling-o Of the-eye
business. Cruel conditions have
been existing. Serious business dis
turbances have been affecting all
of us. Recuperation doesn't travel
like electricity. Building up safely,
We must build up carefully, and
carefulness never yet went ahead
at double quick. 1t sounds well to
be predicting that We are to have a
sudden transformation scene in the
business world, but transformation
scenes are rheater scenes; they
aren't quite so natural and easy in
the real world-where you ahd Z
have to make our living, you know.
