The Honest M.a.
Ista. fOol Chronicle

Augusta, (Qa) Chronicle.
 If MT. Vanderbilt is hunting, Diogenes- like, for a consplcuously honest man.. we respectfully refer him to Hon. Alexander London, of Birmingham; Ala. Mr. Lon don Is a native of the State that pro- TSS@a. qSc Hart E.nton AsSn zssu,on Wsnss and many other eminent worthies. But he now halls from the iron district of Alabama and is member of the Legis- lature.
 He refused to take pay for the time he was absent from his public duties, al- though legally entitled to do so. It is true that he is . man of comfortable cir- Sls2 he might have drawn. but how many such legislators, and there are some, who have his upright conscience. Ill-health and a doctors advice caused his ab- cuses. The Raleigh News and Observer. reciting this remarkable incident, brings 1t home tartly or significantly thus:
 ''If any North Carolina legislator had gone into the State Auditors once in Ra- leigh and done what Mir. London did in Alabama. Dr. Dixon would have been so astounded as to have tainted on the spot. and and, when @ he presented n the changsd wa war had temporary heart failure. The Ala bama officials evidently. were stunned at first. but recovered their eomposure. low petitions 1 t wifi be refreshinR 'S to iooS S at a man whose sensibilities are so re- fined and touch so delicate that his hands cannot wield sickle in Q field where he has not sown. and as he Is of North Car olina breed and training we hope that he will surely come to the reunion at Greens boro where we can inspect and embrace him.
 If the reunion committee has not re- ceived an acceptance from MT. London to be present at Greensboro next week, they should invite him by wire to come as the guest of the State."
 Rather let him repose serenely on his laurels and do not make his present cred itable position one of vainglory. Don't spoil good thing. Many man, under somewhat similar circumstances. has been ruined by untimely adulation. We are of opinion that Mir. London, if thus invited, would decline. as David B. Hill says, to become spectacular"
 Meanwhile he has our most distinguish ed consideration, and we trust that he will have frequent imitation.

How old is Ann.

 This Is the problem:
 Mary is 24 years old Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old is Ann?

Out of the figuring that 1t has evoked in the East the slate and pencil industries are expecting a boom to banish all thoughts of a winter of dtscontent.

Certain estimabie gentlemen and news papers are fond of calling our attsntion to . certain .'unwritten law" which Is to prevent the nomination of Mr. Cleve- land. and that t would also prevent his election. DO; they bear in mind that there is an unwritten law which stands in the way of the nomination and election of

 ever been elected to the once for full
 term. This is just as much an unwritten law as the other, and Is equally bind. !ins.
 The fact is, all this talk about the unwritten law against a third term is
 nonsense. If an attempt had been made in isse to nominate Cleveland there would
 have been some reason in the third term
 argument. but there is none now. If
 there is nothing else in the way. of his nomination 1t may as well be conceded
 and have done with it. If the real
 Democrats. North and South. demand the
 nomination of MT. Cleveland they will get it and they will elect him afterwards. ~e-A->- A total rainfall of ten inches In less

of the day each year is but fitting

On last Sunday the memorial

and Rathbone Sisters, and the
Knights and Ladies of the Macca-

ward their fellowmen. The Rath-
bone Sisters, who were also pres

terms.
In the afternoon, both the
Knights and the Rathbone Sisters
met at the hall, and marched to
cemetery to decorate the graves of
their departed friends. Judge o.
w. H. Wright was master of cere-
monies, the usual .ritualistic SER
vice being carried out. Addresses
were made by Brothers F. 1. Bright

crowd which was present showing
the interest which the people OF
Logan have in lodge work.
The knights and Ladies of the
Maccabees were addressed in the
morning by DR.. Sanders at the U.
B. Church. The lodge was well
represented, and the church was
crowded with an interested aud.

in Chillicothe, Mrs. Poston being
Miss Bouser of that city. The

being the eldest son of w. S. Pos

but just before train time, Bert
and his wife dug up some old
grips, for their effect, all Others
having been stolen, and decoying
the crowd to the depot by false
alarm, a rig was brought into the
alley, he and wife, with bundles
slipped into it and drove like mad
for Circleville. The ride was a
three hour dash through the
night, but they enjoyed fooling
the friends. 1t was after mid
night when they arrived at Circle
vile, and they took morning
train out for, Lancaster, after tele-
phoning their friends their regrets
at not hearing their well prepared
seranade and receiving their
shower of shoes and rice.

Ohio, tells how she appreciates
what was done for her:
II have been reading Mr.. and Mr..
Lingerfield's advertisements in our
papers but put off going to see
them until l had some assurance of
their honesty and ability that they
could do as they advertised.
when / consulted them relative
to the condition of my eyes, l was
told exactly how 1 was troubled
without being asked question.
They described the symptoms and
conditions of my ewes better than /
could have done myself. For num-
Der of years 1 have been greatly an
noyed, when passing anyone on the
street l could scarcely recognize
them. In the distance every thing
seemed a sort of mist, nothing was
seen distinctly, and when 1 would
read my eyes would seemingly tire
and ache, the lines would seemingly
run together. then all would become
blur. / could not see after night
at all, and especially on black goods
and all the glasses l could get did
me little good.
II was impressed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Lingel fields mode of examining the
eye, and the manner in which they
described the condition of the same
to me. So ordered glasses, which
have surely done wonders for me, as
I can see perfectly at distance.
Everything is quite clear. also
can see close at hand without tn at
firing and aching eyes. The finest
of print L can read easily. My eyes
feel at ease and much stronger as I
continue to use them. speak these
