The Land of the Guitar.

In Portugal men play upon the gui-
tar as naturally as Yankees whistle.
The peasants are universally given to
the instrument, chiefly as an accom-
paniment to the voice. In towns and
villages the artisans are often expert
guitar players and walk in groups to
and from their work, enliyening the
journey with music and song. The
carpenter who comes to your house to
execute a small job brings his guitar
with his tools, and the blacksmith is a
far better performer on the guitar than
the anvil.
When the Portuguese day laborer or
workman has finished his long days
toll, he does not HE him to wineshop
to squander the few cents he has earn
ed; he does not even lean against a
post and smoke or whittle a stick
while swapping yarns with his fellows.
If he did not bring his guitar with him,
he goes straight home and gets 1t, rests
and comforts himself with the music
while supper is being prepared. After
ward he spends the evening singing
doggerel songs to strumping accom-
paniment, tilted back in chair against
his own house or on the doorstep Of a
neighbor. Record.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return He
also bought bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped could
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned
saying the doctor need not come, as
the child was much better The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

a learned society In which there were
several members who were fond of

been annoyed by their Interruptions al
most beyond the point Of endurance.
At last he said, II trust / will not be
troubled again until my speech is fini-

How a Horse Sleeps

Horses always point one ear
forward when they sleep. Ex-
actly why this is done no human
being can tell, but the proba
bility is that the practice is a
relic Of the time when they were
wild and obliged to be on .heir
guard, even when asleep. Cat,
tie on the other hand, are ap-
parently Indifferent as to the
position of their ears while sleep
ing, but 40 odds what position
they are in both are always
pointed alike. Ask some observ.
ing horseman if it is not fact
that horse always throws one
ear forward when he sleeps.

The Conspirators.

Mr.. A. H George, of Carroll
County, said in ii speech at the
State convention of the 9th
in denouncing the recent action
of the State executive committee
that the party was dominated by
the most corrupt crowd of
political shysters who ever
disgraced theState -
He uttered Il truth it would be
well for the conservative ele-
ment, and the taxpayers to give
serious attention. That element
in the party which advocates the
plurality system does so because
it knows that nomination under
the peculiar conditions existing
here with one party is equivalent
to an election, and they know
that party primary is under
the control Of the party alone,
and that all the populace, ignor-
ant, disqualified, and non tax
payers can be rounded up at the
polls to vote for the cleverest fel
low, best story teller, and dis
penssr of cheap whiskey. AS an
evidence Of this in one district
in Jackson last year there were
more disqualified votes cast than
there were qualified electors in
the district. The same crowd
have tried to fasten an elective
judiciary upon the State, but
which our able, and pure
supreme court has declared un.
constitutional
Under the cry of we are not
afraid to trust the people these
worst enemies Of the people seek
to work the political clap.trap of
plurality nominating primary.
because before such a heterogen-
eous rabbIe they know they have
their only chance for lease of
power. Do the taxpayers want
laws made, and constitutions
changed by the votes of such If
responsible rabble? Does the |
pride, and chivalry of the State
want its intellinence, integrity, |
prowess, and progress smothered
by such means? Manhood suf-
frage is thing Of the past, but
we hope the recent action of the
State convention will tend to safe
guard us against all these evils.

Canton ought not to allow its
100000 cotton mill to fail to
materalize. Canton is too good a
town not to have such a mill.
There is abundance of idle money
there to erect such a mill, and
the building of mill that close
to old Jackson might be good
thing in the matter of waking her
up to the necessity of a cotton
mill.
