AS between the white negro and the
black negro, the black negro is the
more respectable of the two. And
however hard it may be upon the
black negro to enforce such equality
and association as a constant thing,
the white negro should be made to
know his place and keep in it.

AGOOD WORDFOR EGOLDLEAF

1t is very gratifying to this editor
to note the marked improvement in
its neighhor. the Henderson GOLD
LEAF. and the look of prosperity
which its columns present on account
Of an increase of its advertising pat
ronagc. II has recently entered a
new volume. and Bro. Manning who,
by the way, ranks along with the best
newspaper men in the State, deserves
much from his people for the noble
efforts he has put forth for the ad-
vancement Of the varied interests of
his community.-Louisburg Times.
We appreciate the kind words Of
Brother Thomas and assure him that
such things only serve to stimulate
US to greater efforts.
In this connection we may say that
we have in contemplation some i'm
provements which will add to the
neat appearance Of the paper as we'll
as increase its efficiency and the esti-
nation in which its patrons hold it
as cleah' "elI prlHLeu, Icduaple
paper. Orders have already been
given for the necessary articles and
in a few weeks the GOLD LEAF will
greet its friends in practically a new
dress.
All this Of course costs money but
nothing is too good for those who

and in the afternoon his wife took
Farmer Brown out for a ride and
showed him the many sights of the
capital city. After supper that even
ing John remarked: "Well, father,
have you seen any evidences of pros
perity this afternoon in your drive
about the city,"
"Well, don't know what you would
call it exactly, but 1 must say that you
have got mighty fine city here. But
you know | am farmer, and what |
would like to know is whether we real
ly have got the brand of prosperity
that reaches out and takes us all in"
"As to that l think can convince
you" replied John. Here is a little

the Iowa weather and crop service.

william Nj. Evarts as n wit.

William NJ. Evarts dearly loved a
jOke-so dearly, indeed, that once, when
secretary Of state, he came nigh upon
being the death of one of his subordi-
mates A consul in the West Indies
wrote home stating that his health in
that climate was bad and asking for a
transfer. At that time there happened
to be vacancy in northern Sweden,
and to 1t the astOnished and dismayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr.. Evarts. 1t was not what he had
bargained for, and, as an icebOund
winter was change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally relented
and gave him a berth elsewhere.
At one time in the department of
state new elevator man had been en-
plOyed who did not know Mr.. Eyarts
by sight. In his car was conspicuous
sign to the effect that by order of the
secretary of state smoking was prohib-
tied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with ia
nous senator, the latter smoking eli
gar. The new man promptly touched
the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice, Cant you read
that sign" Mr.. Evarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and, turning
to the elevator man, said: What sign
don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held his
peace, but he followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who
the little chap with the large head
was. The guard told him.-New York

John Musson' SNew Residence.

Audubon has added another first class
residence this summer TO its already
large number, that Of John A. MussOn's.
1t is located just east of Judge Green's,
on the summit of the hill, facing the
south and commanding a good view. A
picture produced from a photograph Of
the building accompanies this article.
On approaching. the house presents a
neat and attractive appearance, the ar
chitectural outlines being attractive.
The large porch with heavy columns re-
turns to either side in circular ends.
Above and back of the porch rises the
circular tower with cone roof and bent
windows. The foundation is of rock
faced stone and the chimneys and porch
piers are Omaha pressed brick. The
first story is sided with six inch and the
second with four inch siding. The eX.
terior thus presents a pleasing view.
On entering from the porch we pass
through a large specially designed door
glazed with beveled plate glass, into Il
reception hall 13x23. At one end of this
hall is the stairway which is Of the lat
est design, the details of which were
planned by Mr.. Evans. The hall is di-
vided by cased arch supported by but
tresses and columns. 1t has red oak
hard wood floor and is finished in quar-
tered red oak, natural 1t contains two
windows glazed with loaded art glass.
From the hall sliding doors open into
the sitting room. There is also opening
into this room from the front porch a
door glazed with gcometric chlpped
glass. The sitting room is l4Xl4. 1t is
finished in red curly birch which is very
pretty. There is IA nice fireplace in one
corner The large front window is glaz,
ed with art glass. The floor is Of quar-.
tered red oak. From this room sliding
doors lead to the dining room which il

from the hall. There is easement
window at the west end Of the room. In
one corner is recess for sidC-hOard

This room is finished in quartered syca
more.
From here a double acting door leads
to the pantry which is fitted with bins,
spice cabinets and cupboards. From
the pantry cased openiog leads to the
kitchen which is 10x13. 1t is finished in
white pine, natural From here small
door leads to an outside rear door on
the east near the northeast corner of the
house. From this hall is door leading
up the back stairway. Under the stairs
is cellarway leading down three steps
to where it meets on landing the out
side cellarway-quite an original ar
rangement.
The cellar contains a vegetable room,
laundry room fitted with tubs, a store
room and a furnace room. All have
cement floors.
Going to the second story by the front
stairway we land in hall which leads
to each room on that floor. The back
stairs also land in this hall. An attic
stairs lead up from the hall At the
southwest part of the second story is an
alcove occupying the tower space. 1t is
very pretty recess. The southeast
room is the family room. There are
two other bedrooms, all having closets
and all finished in best white pine, nat
ural. The bath room is fitted up COM
pete and is lighted by specially de-
signed window. A good store room is in
the actic, 7Xl6, and lighted with circle
top windows in each gable and one dor
mer window.
The house has double floors through
out, 1t 10 heated with hot air and
lighted with electricity. 1t Is surely a
model house in design, appearance, fin
ish both on interior and exterior, and
has every convenience. It's cost is about

Pawnee Bills Show.

Pawnee Bills Combined Shows gave
two performances here yesterday, and
we have never seen larger or better
pleased audiences at any other exhibit
ton in the city, The Mexican Hippo
drome races are exciting and wonderful
and the reproduction of the Mountain
Meadow massacre and vivid and most
realistic drama Of life in the land of the
setting sun, was well worth double the
price of admission. The lassoing of wild
buffalo and long horned Texas steers,
the rifle shooting of Miss May Lille, the
wonderful performance of riding and at
the same time, 35 wild mustangs, are all
grand features This show has the rep
utation Of performing all it advertises.

publican year is 1899 and Mr.. Sage
says the total for 1900 will be over
$500, 100000"
Farmer Brown scanned these figures
closely and then remarked: Maybe
there might have been something
wrong with the weather in some of
those years you call Democratic
years.
ut is true that the conditions were
not at all times favorable" responded
his son. Listen to what Mr. Sage
says on that point. In referring to the
crop of 1895 he says: The ideal season
Of the decade was 1885, with a corn
crop of SO bushels per acre, oats 4S
bushels, and aggregate cereal products
521 ,G3S, 900 bushels. But in that period
of general business depression the De
cember l prices were too low to make
satisfactory exhibit of the value of
the years products. At the farm
prices current at this time dune,
1900 the cereal output in 1895 would
have been doubled in value In 1896
there was too much rain and Mr.. Sage
says, AT the low prices prevailing that
year the aggregate value of the crops
was below any year in the decade
Here is another interesting table
compiled from the reports received at
the weather and crop bureau from
every county in the state. 1t shows
the average prices per bushel of farm
products at the farms each year on
