TYRANNY.

A Southern planter went to New
Orleans several months after. General
Butler had taken the reins in his
hand and acquired a reputation for
TYRANNY" One Of the first things he
saw was the placards of q gentle
mems furnishing store posted on
the walls and fences: "Get your
shirts at Moody's." The planter
saw it again and again, and unused
deeply upon it. cts another of
Buffers ORDERS" he said to himself.
'He's probably a partner in the
concern, and what he says goes
so I suppose it's best to submit. 1
don't need any shirts, and it's a
shame to be compelled to buy 'em
now but I don't want any more
trouble" He accordingly went to
Moody's and bought half d dozen
shirts, on compulsion.

JENNIE ACTON's TALK.
Swain Co., n. @.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il wonder
what you all are doing? Yesterday
[ did something that l do not intend
to do again soon. 1 went to church
with a nice but thOughtless young
man. We went in an open buggy
and he had provided no lap robe and
[ almost frOze. He was pleasant and
would have been entertaining, but
l could not think seriously Of any
thing he said. Try as I would, 1
could not think of any thing interest
ing to say and 1 hope he did not
think me dull for it was all his fault.
If he had only thought of that lap
robe all would have been we'll cir
cumstances alter cases Straws show
which way the wind blows, and 1
am afraid that he is forgettul and
that some girl will find it out some
day.
A young man from the city spent
the night with brother not long
since. We had music and a real
nice time after supper but the next
morning we had sausage for break
fast and you should have seen him
eat. I am convinced now that there
is a bonanza in good country sausage
if all city folks are as fond of it as
he was. Well, 1 don't blame him
much, for l have tried to eat the
stuff they call sausage in cities but
there is a difference,-a big differ
ence.
Did you yer try to fatten a turkey
and see him eat his own head off
[ wonder if Belgian hares do the
same? Brother says there are rab-
bits enough in this country now and
that I shall not add to the number.
Have any of the Circle tried them?
Did you ever know a married man
to fail in anything he undertook to
do that he did not give his wife
credit for it in one way or another?
[ wonder why. Did you ever know
a business man to thank his wife for
success or to tell his friends that she
had helped him to succeed? wonder
why. "Justice is JUSTICE" and any
thing short of it is not Justice.
When a woman does the best she
can tell her that you appreciate it
it will do you no harm and will help
her lots. Do you wonder why there
are 80 many old maids in the world?
Well, I will tell you,-because we
have some sense and are much given
to observation. JENNIE ACTON.

AXE ns pretty indigo blue and

make US pretty indigo blue and
turkey red cotton checked cloth and
we did have the prettiest dresses, all
of our own make. We would card
and spin cotton chain and wool filing
and make our lining for winter
dresses. Our aprons we wore Of blue
and white cotton checked and girls
are no heater now than then.
Father had a flax brake Of his own
make and he broke his flax and we
girls and boys would scutch. We all
knew just how to use our scutching
knives and the way we did clean
flax! My mother had a hackel and
she would hackel the flax. She also
had a little wheel to spin fax on.
Some of her grand children have her
wheel yet, sitting in the p%arlor. She
has long been resting in the grave
and the old wheel sitting back to be
looked at with no one to use it. The
grand children don't know how to
spin something better for them,
they think.
A half century ago the girls and
boys in this mountain country work
ed so hard and 80 differently from
what the young folks do now. I am
glad that there is such great inn
provement for the people nowadays ;
but, my dear young people, you will
have to give an account for every
idle thought and every wicked word.
It will be more tOlerable for SodOm
and Gomorrah than for this people in
the day of judgment if they don't
do better. God said, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy yet
how many keep the Sabbath day
holy? Don't you e people every
Sabbath doing work and breaking
the Sabbath day? Oh, that this
nation would keep the Sabbath. Oh
that our rulers would be God-fear-
ing and God-loving men, for blessed
is the people that trust in the true
God.
My father tanned his own leather
and made his own shoes. He could
make US a pair that would last a
year. Mother could wear a pair Of
those homemade shoes in those days
for two years. 1 bought d pair d
while back and paid a high price for
them, wore them two weeks and
they came to pieces.
Aunt Jennie, please look I'VE all
mistakes and correct mis-spelling for
[ am old and old-fashiOned. We
take The Progressive Farmer and
think it is such a good paper.

used the sickle, the scythe and the
fail. The sickle, to cut his wheat,
rye and oats the binding was done
by hand. The scythe cut all his
grass on both upland and the swamp
grass. The fail-a pole about seven
feet long, with an auger hole near
the end with a strong strap tied to
another pole two feet Iong-with
which to beat out the grain. 1t is
true we now would consider it Il
slow way, but d hundred years ago it
answered every purpose. The wheat
made excellent flour when ground on
the old fashioned water mill that
had been in use from time immemO-
rial. The reaper and the self binder
were unheard of. The pillow was
home made the iron works forged
slabs of iron from six inches to a
foot in width and one inch thick
from which a blacksmith, with u
good striker, could fashion a pillow,
either "a side or straight shovel as he
might desire.
In those days the pillow stock was
always made at home. The mold
board was made of wood lined with
sheet iron, or covered with hog
skin on the face of a bull hide. All
seeds were sOwn or scattered by
hand the hoe was the only cult
vator known on that day. But it is
more than probable that each far
mer congratulated himself how beau
tifully his crop looked, and how
abundant the yield.
The mode of travel one hundred
years ago, had many drawbacks that
never disturb the traveller of to-day.
1t was either on horse back or by
stage coach. 1t is said that General
Hampton, father of the present
General Hampton, rode from New
Orleans in 1912 to Columbia, S. c., in
seven days, on his fine blOOded mare.
To go to New York from PhiIadel
phia by the swiftest stage meant
two days of unremitting travel. To
day it is accomplished in two hours
by steam. To go from New England
to Oregon it took Doctor Atkinson
eight months, ever in 1912. Now the
distance can be covered in two days
by steam.
In the early days of the century it
was considered not only a risky
business but dangerous for a man to
go alone on a long journey. Bandits
YER then quite common on all great
thOrOughfares of travel. Their dep
radatiOns formed the basis of many
thrilling stories of the times and
unfortunately a great many of them
were true. The story of John A.
Murrel, who operated from Virginia
to west Tennessee, his numerous
rObberies and murders, were heralded
over the entire Southern States. He
had accOmplices in every county on
the line of travel in at least three
States. He at last finished his ca
reer in Tennessee State prison, but
his name will be remembered as long
as the stories Of Blue Beard that have
frightened children for generations.
Going to the new countries, as they
were called many years ago, was
then attended with many trials, dan
gers and Inconvenience that the
people now know nothing of.
Fifty years ago it was thought a
