that he is not only the most eloquent
but the readiest orator now before the
American people.
-Four years ago an attempt was made
to outlaw Mr.. Bryan, as it were. He
was charged with being an Alaric pant
ing TO destroy, or Ishmael with hand
uplifted against civilization. He was
described rs a menace against Ameri-
can institutions, man who sought to
destroy the honor of the country, a
wild-eyed anarchist ready to blow up
the supreme court, and all that. Con-
servatives in the democratic party turn
cd from him, and would have nothing
to do with him.
But the picture is changed. The
whole country now knows that Bryan
is man Of character, that the institu-
tons of his country are as dear to him
as they are to Mckinley, that as a IA
triot he will compare more than favor.
/
ably with Hanna, Platt, Quay, Elkint
and other leaders Of the republican par
ty, and that il is as safe to entrust the
safety Of the presidency to his hands
as to a man who is surrounded by the
greatestest aggregation Of mercenarie'
assembled since the days Of Grant. The
conservatives in the democratic party
have come back The independents
and Germans who four years ago were
solidly arrayed against him are nov
largely on his side. He is, in short
backed by the conservatism, intelli
gence and worth of the country.
In leaning towards the people, Mr.
Bryan has been hastily denounced as
demagogue, but the time has passed
when it is considered legitimate an,
praiseworthy kotow to the trusts ant
aggregate wealth, and unpatriotic ant
anarchistic to enlist in the cause of tn
people. Mr.. Bryan is opening the PEG
pies eyes. He is making them cogni
zant of their rights, and even if h
should be defeated it will yet be sal
that the moment with which he is iden
titled is the wholesomest and must en-
couraging that has ever been carrie
on in American politics. -CommerciG

sufferings. With the calmness of that
Sabbath eve, from which he journeyed
to the New Jerusalem, he bestowed on
wife, each child, aged mother, brothers
and sisters benediction; aud then
quietly asked his physician: "How
long until this suffering is over?" and
receiving the answer, "Not long; the
end is near, 'Ihe thanked God and said,
Il am ready and anxious to be relieved
from my sufferings, though it pains me
to leave my family" Soon thereafter
the curtain.of night was drawn over
the face of mature; and drawing the
drapery of his couch about him" the
heroic soul exchanged mortality for i'm
mortality. Wonderful scene, that 1t
was moral heroism exhibited to perfec-
ton.
Whilst the love and and affection of
the dear ones will embalm him in ten
derest memories, and tears will steal
in upon their lonely hours, yet they
will find wealth of comfort in that no.
bihty of character that fitted the tired
pilgrim for the glories of his Lord.
| The alarm at the outer door came I'M
expectedly, and brought sorrow to his
brethren, A true man, an upright Ma
son has fallen to sleep. We will cher
ish him in memory. Sadly, tenderly,
wSiaid his body to rest in Oak Hill
cemetery, there to await the Higher
Power 'sreyiving influence, when the
body, no longer dead, under the power
and strength of the Lion of the tribe of
Judah, vail join the mighty host of i'm
mortsls, and take part in the first res
direction.
May the God of our fathers, and the
God of the widow and fatherless, guard
and guide those SO deeply bereft; and
may his life be an inspiration to his
brethren to walk uprightly.

st. Paul, MIMI, Oct, 1.-The patri-
otto purpose Of The Times to aid in the
restoration of the government to the
principles on which its foundations
were laid, is matter Of sincere rejoic-
ing among men to cling to the Consti.
tuition as the safeguard Of popular
rights. With millions Of my country
men see in this loyal expression of a.
deity to the simple faith Of the fathers,
as against the arrogance Of a military
system and the domination OF lawless
trusts, the promise Of an awakening Of
the conscience of the people Of Penn.

We have been married for nearly
twelve years and never knew until last
week that we had married a woman
whose face was our fortune. AT the
Fair she was awarded the premium for
being the ugliest woman under forty.
We don't believe she would have got
ton the blue ribbon but the age limit
cut out the wives of Mel Weller and
Jim Range, who were the closest com
petitors. They deserve special men
ton, however, for two uglier old wo.
men cannot be found in the county.
The prize was 80 pound sack of Colo
Dust flour made by our city mill and
offered by John Kilby, the engineer.
There is one consolation about this
matter, however, it settles in satisfac
tory manner u dispute that has long ex
listed in our household as to who wal
the -four of the flock.

County Court

The new county court met last Mon
day for the first time. 1t is a splendid
body of men and contains some of the
best brains in the county. They soon
got down to business and performed
their duties in most creditable man
ner. One of the most important things
ever brought before the court was q
resolution by Esquire Lyle to compel
all applications for release from road
duty and poll tax to be presented at the
April term of the court only. 1t is es-
timated that this action alone will en-
able the court to transact its business
in one day and thus save the county
several hundreds of dollars a year.
On motion of Esquire Shipley COM
mittee was appointed with view OF
buileing a new Jail, thing that is
badly needed. The committee will
solicit plans and specifications for a
modern Jail and make report at the
January term.
Another resolution that will save the
county considerable sum was one in
troduced by Esquire Lyle and carried
unanimously to disallow hereafter oil
bills presented by the county officials fol
stationery and blanks for which the Of
fcer receives fees when issued. They
can't be legally charged to the county
and that expense will be saved.
The unpaid subscriptions on the Wa
tauga bridge were turned over to the
county attorney with instructions tC
collect by suit or otherwise.
The indications are that the new
court will work tremendously for thu
good of the county,
