Today is the Goth anniversary Of
the birth OF the only Democrat that a
majority Of the American people have
deemed worthy and fitting to occupy
the exalted position Of President Of the
United States, since Mr.. Buchanan's
term; and yet In spite Of the true
axiom Nothing succeeds like success"
there be many, many Southerners,
the Herald conspicuous amongst the
number, who delight in belittering and
speaking scornfully Of this honest,
capable man, and have preferred for s
years past to follow and endorse the
deceptive will-o-the wisp teachings
and tenets Of William J. Bryan. Mr..
Cleveland conscious Of the position he
holds in the hearts Of those Of his
countrymen who still adhere to true
democratic sound money"
tariff for revenue only" equal rights
to all aud special privileges to none,"
treats with silent contempt the fill
pics Of his detractors, including the
impossible w. J. b., and although Mr..
G. will never again be a candidate for
the Presidency, still, unless Democrats
nominate some man Of the Cleveland
type, he will hold the distinguished
position Of the only Democrat it was
possible to elect to the Presidency since
the war, and our grandchildren will
remember him as such. II. OF b.

DIR. Harding Tonight.

Our readers will do well to remember
that DR.. Harding will lecture tonight
at the Opera House, his subject being
that very remarkable character in
human history, Samuel Johnson, OF
whom Macauley says: "The memory
Of other authors is kept alive by their
works, but the memory Of Johnson
keeps many Of his works alive. The
old philosopher is still among US in the
brown coat with the metal buttons and
the shirt which ought TO be at wash,
blinking, pulling, rolling his head,
drumming with his fingers, tearing
his meat like tiger and swallowing
his tea in oceans. No human being
who has been more than seventy years
in the grave is 50 we'll known to US. And
it is but just to say that our intimate
acquaintance with what he would
himself have called the anfractuosities
Of his intellect and Of his temper, serves
only to strengthen our conviction that
he was both great and good man. "

The court Of appeals reversed the or
der Of the circuit court Of Prince Ed
ward which restrained the town of
Farmvile from setting up aud conduct
ing dispensary for the sale Of intoxi'
eating liquors. AS the matter now
stands, the town will have the privilege
Of engaging IN the sale Of whiskey to
the exclusion Of all others. A deter
mined effort is being made, however,
by the saloon keepers Of Farmville to
eyer yet thwart the dispensary move
ment by having the legislative act re-
pealed, and to that end a petition has
been circulated and signed by over one
hundred citizens, including many of
the towns business men, asking for its
immediate repeal.
1t is the opinion Of some that from
the date Of the reversal Of the Circuit
Courts decision, the saloon keepers
have been doing business unlawiully
and are amenable to fine and
Imprisonment, while others do not be-
lieye they are in violation ofthe law I'M
ill the order Of the Court Of Appeals has
been transmitted to Circuit Court clerk

Another Superstition.

An enterprising lady, in charge OF
one Of our households, opened up a
furious fight on an army Of rats re-
Gently, and was proceeding to slay them
right and left, when a colored woman,
who had been watching the slaughter,
remarked, "You better not kill all dem
rats, for if you does you gwine to sure
have bad luck The war went on,
however, and when the determination
seemed to be complete, sickness broke
out In the home circle, and has been
raging ever since.
Next time the good lady has to turn
back, she will be sure to make cross
mark and spit in it," for that's what
old time NANNY" said you must do.

the opinion Of all who were present,
however, when we say that the
pleasure of the evening reached the
high-water mark as President and
Mrs. Jarman blended their voices in
perfect harmony and sweetest melody.
They captured the audience and held
it spell bound. The love-song render
ed by these lovers, was redolent with
the fragrance Of morning freshness and
sparkled with the dew drops Of early
dawn. Does love grow older? Yes,
and mellows with age and becomes
more lovely. Not that the sweet sing
ers are as yet old, but some day will be,
and then love will yet be young
