The patriarchical beard of one of the
oldest inhabitants" of Conshohocken is
still in its accustomed place upon his chin.
but it looks very moth-eaten and ragged.
This is due to the fact that the old man is
extremely near-sighted. To see an object
plainly he is compelled to get his optics
within a few inches of 1t. The other day
while potterine around his house, the old
man undertook to repair the picket fence
around the yard. Many of the palings had
been knocked off, and these 1t was his pur-
pose to replace. He armed himself with
hammer and nails and started in. He got
his first paling in place, and with much
labor succeeded in fastening 1t there. But
that was not all. When he started to move
on to the next break he was brought up
standing with yell OF pain. He had nail
ed his whiskers between the Daling and

tention Of his good wife, who, when she
realized the situation, brought her scissors
into play and released the old man. minus

A Soldiers Widow
WHAT CARING FOR A DEFENDER OF
THE COUNTRY EGATAILED,
The Heroic Devotion Of Woman to Rer FAMILY Which
Brought on Long Suffering How Relief Came.
Fr0m The Leader. pDmerou. O.

We have genuine herOines right ut our
doors. A notable example is a neighbor,
devoted wife who for five long years
nursed an invalid husband and supported a
family of children until at length her health
gave way and she was physical wreck.
We refer TO Mrs. Msrinda c. White of
Mason, W. Va. Her husband was a soldier
serving his country in the 174th q. V. l.,
and her son, Everett White has recently
shouldered his musket, being q member of
Co. l., 18th 0. n. G.
A few days ago a Leader reporter visited
Mrs. White, when sine told the following
remarkable story:

FAST DIMINISHING.
Cotton Crop Nearly All Picked and Many
Debts Are Unpaid.

Cotton Crop Nearly All Picked and Many
Debts Are Unpaid.
The cotton crop is fast diminishing.
Only few more weeks and all of the
cotton will be picked and nearly all
of it sold. The farmers have been
bringing in the staple very fast, judging
from the receipts at all the United States
ports for the past ten days. The price
at present is very low and there appears
to be no probability of y rise.
Many of the farmers have been unable
to meet their Obligations in full this fall g,
but the merchants have been very lenient
with them. The collections at the
banks have been very good, but the
merchants have had some difficulty in
securing the payment of notes.
The corn crop this year is exceedingly
good and it will prove to be of great as
sistance to the country people.
II is thought that owing to the low
price of cotton this year that the farmers
will cut down the acreage next year and
that the crop will be several million bales
short. The farmers of this section are
in favor of OOing this, and majority of
them will do so.
The crop this year has been as large
as heretofore, the Texas crop making up
for the shortage in George and Alabama.

Please Don't.

We rise to remark that az far as we
are concerned we don't like the idea of
getting up big military parades in Au.
gusta, as suggested by the Herald of that
city, and having the governor down for
grand review. All such band box
shows in Georgia, it was thought, had
been ended with the reign of Vim. Yates.
Governor Gambler is plain, practical
man and quit all such brass button ex-
hibits after Appomatox. He is trying
to work Georgia out of the deficit left
by his predecessor and would like to be
left alone, we know, from expensive
Junketings. And also we would ask, in
the name of common sense and the love
of peace, aren't you tired of this military
business and Waynesboro

The ARMOUR INCUBATOR BABY.

Two Years Old.


Two Years Old.
Lolita Armour, granddaughter of

When she came into the world she
weighed barely three pounds, and her

equally opposed to the return of the
oarroOm system to the community. The
dlspensary plan above outlined was
agreed upon by the prOhibitionists of
CLARK county, within whose numbers
are embraced as earnest, Jealous and
consistent prohibitionists as exist anv-
where In this country. The people were
assured that if they would vote for pro-
hibitiOn that at the next session of the
general assembly dispensary would be
established upon the plan above ont
lined, and with this statement, made IN
public by men who had the confidence
of the community prohibition prevailed
0Y the narr majority of eleven votes
But for this action of the friends Of tenn
perance in the community barrooms
would have been re-establiSned in Ath>
ems and would exist there today. Every
minister of the gospel in the city and
nearly all of the church members of the
various churches voted in favor of the
establishment of this dispensary. Its
establishment was fought bitterly and
strongly by the enemies of prohibition
and temperance. 1t had been
established by the friends of temperance.
1t was believed by them to be in fur
therance of the cause of temperance and
step looking to the perfect regulation
OF the sale of liquor and finally 10 it's
abolition. The dispensary has
been On trial for seven years. Drunken
ness has decreased in the community.
Crime has diminished. Courts of crimi-
nal jurisdiction hold shorter sessions
than have ever been known in the his.
tory of the nounty. Peace, good order
and sobriety prevail. M street in the
town OF Athens is blockaded now by
drunken or disreputab)e characters; an
unattended female may walk with per-
feet safety any street of Athens at any
time, night or day. 1t is believed that
the dispensary has been instrumental
in bringing about this condition of af-
fairs. We believed that we we're doing
right as advocates of temperance when
we consented t. the establishment of
the dispensary as an experiment Time
has demonstrated that we we're right.
We are not advocating the establish
ment OF dlspensaries in other places
This is matter for each community to
settle for itself. What we do say, how
ever, is that if prohibition ~ any com
munity is what it was in Athens, then
in furtherance of temperance the dis
pensary is to be preferred to prohibition.
That one was an active partici pant in
the events which have brought about
the improved ndltion of affairs in the
the city of Athens, and thus promot
ing peace, good order and sobriety, does
not seem 10 us a sufficient cause to dis
qualify a person for church member
