THE pallant editor Of the Morgan
ton Herald refuses to congratulate the
successful candidate for Senatorial
bonor.. Or, to be more accurate. we
should say he declines to felicltate
North Carolina upon the result. He
says:
We certainly bear him no personal
ill-will but would be false to ourselves
did We offer the State congratulations
on his election, which we do not feel
and which the facts in the case do not
warrant.
That is tough on Mr.. Simmons but
we suppose he will try to worry along
without it.

Lone Elm Grange held farmers insti-
tute at Reynolds grove, near Kincaid,
on the 9th. 1t was fairly-well attended.
S. S. Irwin presided and delivered the
address of welcome.
Ed Blair. of Cadmus, Linn county, de-
livered an address on the Grange and it's
object.
Mr.. Cowgirl, OF. the Kansas Farmer,
was present, and started to deliver a
lecture on Foods for Animals. and their
Relative Value and Cost" but, owing to
sudden illness, he was unable to proceed
to the end.
Excellent music was rendered by the
Grange glee club, as also by Harry
Hunter, Woodruff brothers, Mr. Sarver
The addresses were both instructive
and entertaining and were well received.
One of the professors of the State
Agricultural College was promised, but,
for some reason unknown to the writer,
failed to appear.
An annual picnic and institute will be
a feature in the life of the Lone Elm
Grange.
Owing to revived interest in farmers
organizations, there is promise of great
er activity among the members and
accessions to its membership. Every
township in the county should have one
active grange. There is no doubt but
that the grangeis of unreasonable bene-
fit to farmers when conducted upon the
lines designed by the originators of the
organization.

Here is a. somewhat unique argument
for higher education that is being ener
getically pushed along by the patriotic
Missouri press: A certain young man
owned five puppies, water spaniels, all
black and all looking just alike. Four OF
the puppies grew up to be just common
dogs: One was taken by dog trainer
and educated. The four pups which just
grew up were never worth over sd
apiece, if as much as that, because they
did not know anything except wag their
tails and bark at the moon. The pup
which was carefully trained by the dog
fancier became worth $1,000, and that
sum was refused for him because he knew
something and did something. Let us
call the five pups five boys, and how
does the proposition look to your 1t il
easier to train boy than dog. If yor
have boys, study this promblem over
Star and Kansan.

sas, where he died tramp in the town
Jail ten years ago. His name became a
byword in the places where he was
known, and from the prison cell he went
forth vagabond on the face of the
earth. In 1867 he was arrested at
at Leavenworth, while engaged in hold
ing series of revival meetings, and tax
en- to Minneapolis, where he was tried
for bigamy, convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years and eight
months. One.night in the spring of 1890,
Dunbar applied at the Coffeyville Jail for
lodging. He was i'll and the authorities
took him in. He died the next day.
Papers in his pockets revealed his ident-
ity and showed that he had tramped all
over the country. Some church people
have lately erected a marble slab over
his grave, on which these words are in
scribed: Here lies Edward Dunbar, who
wrote: There's a Light in the Window
for Thee, Brother Star and Kansan,

THE ONE GREAT CHAIN.
The purport of the hour is vast,
The world wants justice, it demands
Ir.,:@oJ t,a, 81, ,,u;fad hands

The purport of the hour is vast,
The world wants justice, it demands
United hearts, united hands,
The day of charity is past.
Let no man think he can despoil
And rob his kind by trick and fraud,
And at the last make peace with God
BY tossing aims to honest toll.
Men have outgrown the worthless Greco
Which bid them deem it Gods good will
That labor sweat and starye to fill
And glut the purse of idle greed.
They have outgrown the poor content
That breeds oppression, forged by PAM
Mind links to mind, in one great chain
OF protest and of argument.
And by the hand of progress hurried
This mighty chain of human thought,
In silence and in anguish wrought,
Encompassed the pulsing world.
And he who will not form a link
Of new condition soon to be,
Ere long must stand aghast and see
Old systems topping down the brink
They cannot and they shall not last
The broader impulse of the day
Will gain and grow and sweep away
The rank injustice of the past.
More labor for the selfish few,
More leisure for the burdened man,
These things will surely come to pass
As old conditions change to new.
They change thro' strain, and strike and
strife,
The worst but speedsIthe final best,
Work for all mentor all men rest,
And time to taste the joys of life.
