The Cause Of Mackey's Joy

'Tis not boy. nor girl, o no; nor
a legacy, or anything of the sort that
causes joy in the heart of Will
Mackey, foreman of the State Print
ing office, and incidentally makes him
as happy as boy with new sled.
The real cause lies in the fact that the
office has received large cOnsign-
ment of the very latest thing in type
-point-set, standard-lining, and what
not. The mateial just received will
displace that now in use, and the State
Office will then be the equal of any

a Mean Man.

A story comes from the mountains
near Roanoke, Va, that JEFF Hackett
went from one of the upper counties
of South Carolina about IS years ago.
He settled in Floyd county and was
known to be the stingiest man Of his
neighborhood. His wife became quite
unwell and doctors bills and medi-
ciues made the cold chills run over
him. To save time he bought coffin
in Roanoke one day and carried it
home to have it handy. Some of the
children told the mother, who called
her husband to her bedside and said
to him she would not need the fur
niture; that she intended to get we'll
and see him buried in that same
cofiu. In two weeks she was boss
ing the house. His nervous system
and pocket book received such
shock that death soon came and he
was buried in a cheap coffin selected
for his wife.

The greatest danger from colds

however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases We have yet to learn
of a single case having resulted in

that it is a certain preventive Of that

An Old Picture.

In an old copy of the Pendleton
Messenger (1S46) appeared the follow
ing estimate OF a mean man, which
was delivered to his flock by a
preacher, but the record does not
show to which denomination he be-
longed nor where he was located.
It is hardly probable that any church
nowadays would extend him call,
if this was his regular style of sizing
up lis members: ....'
sMy friends, too many OF you Getty
folks especially are ever inclined to
meanness. I know of some who are
SO vastly little, if I msy be allowed
the term, that when they are brushed
from earth into the devils dust pan,
the old chap will have to put on
double-magnifying spectacles and
poke for a long while among the rub
bish of mortality before he can find
them. There's Neighbor Tightfst,
in some respects worthy member
of my congregation, and yet I regret
to say he is mean enough to chase
fat mosquito through a five mile
swamp for the sake of the suet. To
his credit, however, he once made a
sacrifice for the good cause by putting
an unfortunate looking penny in the
box and going suppsrless to bed.
'And Neighbor Blank. if he had
the power and could enrich himself
thereby, he would brush the silver
stars from the armament, snatch the
golden sun from the sky and sell the
moon for old brass. If q six-pence
was required at the gate of heaven,
rather than to pay the fee, I verify
bslieve, he would rise from his rest
ing place at midnight and pick the
lock with q ten-penny nail"
Don't this sound like Sam Joues?
