BIGBYVILLE.

BIGBYvILLE, Feb. 2.-Perhaps the
reference in our last communication TO
the removal of the Bell telephone was
little prcvious, for since that time the
instrument has been reinstated in all It's
glory at the public station here; NOT
at the solicitation of our merchants,
however, but after repeated requests
superinduced by liberal propositions OF
the Bell Co. 1t is useless to add that
talk is cheap, for the rates of the Cltlzens
;phone have been met; but this has not
served to diminish, in the least, the en-
tbusiam over the latter phone, and we
still cherish the fond hope of seeing It's
lines extended to adjoining neighoor-
hoods. , -.

again try to give the news in and around
this place.
We are glad to report all the sick bet
ter.
Mr.. Ramona Journey and family have
moved into our neigh borhood. We bid
them welcome.
Miss Josie Craig is visiting her sister,
Mrs. Journey, at this writing.
on Saturday morning, the 10th of jan
uary, the Death Angel visited the home
of MIR. and Mrs. j. 7. Atkeisson and
claimed for its own their darling babe,
Myrtle. She had been on her little bed
of afflict;on for two weeks, scarcely
able to move at all; but that's all over
now, and in heaven she sings the prais-
es of God.
Then why do we mourn departing
friends,
Or shake at deaths alarm?
It's but the voice that Jesus sends
To call her to his arms.
To the heart-broken father, mother
and little sisters, we bid them cease re-
mining and submit to the will of our
| Father, in heaven, who doeth all things

not shrink, but will bear us to our

fulfill his engagements if by so doing he
is likely to suffer loss, Mr. Young gives
cogent reasons for believing that the
mikado's subjects soon will lose the for
eign customers they have gained unless
their code of commercial morals is ma
terially and rapidly improved.
Already japanese consuls have re-
ported that the country's foreign trade
is seriously injured by merchants who
send abroad matches that will not strike,
rice that is not up to sample and stuffs
the only merit of which is cheapness.
Guilds have been formed to introduce
better methods of business, but they
have not wrought much improvement,
and the situation cannot be radically
changed so long as there is no public
opinion to support the application Of
morality to business. At present the or
binary japanese trader has no con-
science, and until he acquires one the
expected competition of Japan in the
markets Of the world is not likely to
be worthy of serious consideration.

The South Carolinlan.

The South Caroinian has always ar
rogated to himself the name Carolinian,
and he has never been on very familiar
terms with his northern neighbor. His
feeling for his southern neighbor, the
Georgian, is also one Of mere tolerance,
for the latter has long been called the
southern Yankee and fairly deserves the
appellation. He has much Of the
shrewdness and push that mark the
typical "dOwn easter, and he has a
considerable share of that worthy's
moral earnestness. In addition he has
good deal of the Virginian's geniality
and love of comfort, of the North Caro-
linian's unpretending democracy and Of
the South Carolinian's tendency to ex-
hibitions of fiery temper.
But over and above everything else he
has an honest and hearty and not I'M
founded pride in Georgia, and a sort of
Masonic utilization with every person,
animal, institution, custom-in short,
thing-that can be called Georgian. He
may not always stand for culture, but
he does always stand for patriotism,
state and national. He loves success,
strength, straightforwardness and the
solid virtues generally-neither is he
averse to the snowy ones-but above all
he loves virtue in action. Though pos
sessed of strong, clear intellect, he is
more particularly man Of five senses,
of which he makes as good use as he
can. He may not always taste the
sweetness or see the light of the highest
civilization, but he has a good healthy
appetite for life.-W p. Trent in At

NEW YORK's HORSE SHOW.
The Thirteenth Annual Event Opens
Next Week.

Next Week.
New York, Nov 5-The thirteenth an
nual exhibition of the New York Horse
Show Association opens in Madison
Square Garden Monday, Nov 15
In the thirteen years of Its history this
annual horse show has held its peculiar
supremacy in social circles by dint of the
hard work of it's managers and the diplo-
macy of its directors
1t is so well known in London that Eng
fish society counts upon it, and every
year sends representatives. 1t is a fea-
ture IN Canada, and people journey south
for 1t. In the United States 1t is the great
annual social event, and to be seen at the
Madison Square Garden horse show in
November is to argue that you are in So
ciety.
The horse show association maintains
its position, not by it's courtesy or its
willingness to please, but by its price and
its exclusiveness. II does not bid all
welcome by any means. 1t is for the
chosen few, and to occupy a box you
must be either a stockholder or a mem
Der of the association. This course is
open to criticism, but 1t has the effect of
keeping the horse show exclusive
one Of the great annual features is the
auction sale Of boxes which takes place
two weeks before the opening. Last Thurs
day, Nov A. these boxes were auctioned
off, and all those who had the privilege
of being there will forever remember the
sight. Crowded around the auction chair
were all the members of the Four Hun
dred, or their representatives, both ladies
and gentlemen being present. In the mid
die of the auction light refreshments were
served, and then the auctioneer went on
with his gilt-edged task.
Some idea Of the prices realized may be
obtained from the fact that there are $50
