| Politicians are bestirring them
selves Every day the political hori-
ION is growing more breezy. See
that leading politician. Uneasiness
Of mind seems deep-rooted in him.
Aye, he seems to be descending the
sepulchraI spirals OF the deepest
thought. Peradyenture his peculiar
ideas have gore into total eclipse
have utterly evanesced, without
the faintest hope Of their revival
Everybody down here takes moro
or less interest in the war between
Russia and Japan, How indescrib-
ably sad it is to hear of human be
ings created little less than the
angels, and crowned with glory and
honor deluging the land with blood
and bleaching It with bones. Gen.
William T. Sherman was right when
he replied to the question What
is war ?" War, sir, why, war is
hell" No doubt exists in our mind
that all wars are the devil S revivals,
gotten up by him for the population
of hell. The red horse in the Apo
calypso syrnbolizes war, and we
know that every species OF crime
follows in its bloody wake.
-Confederates, Daniel Hammett,
j. Dallas Evans, John +. Combs,
Thomas Cameron, Walter Wood, r.
e. Langley, Alexander Beal and
Butler Taylor indulge wide horizons,
which leads their precious immartal
parts to broad ideas. Well do these
men know that circumscribed hori-
IONS engender narrow ideas. The
health Of some OF these men Is abnor-
NAL. Some are Independents in their
political opinions, while others are
unflinching and uncompromising ad-
yocates Of democratic principles.
None of them idle away their time
essaying 10 find a cessation 10 the
phrase, forever and ever. Aye.
when hell will cool of, the devil re-
lax bis grip, and the victims ofdam-
nation go free.
Cupid is doing effective work.
Query. Is not matrimony q sacred
rite We conscientiously believe
that husband and wife are united
forever Indeed, the Lord Jesus
Christ has 50 exalted matrimony as
TO make it the symbol Of His own
union with the church. Think well
young men before you take tho i'm
portant step.
Corn, tobacco, tomatoes, potatoes.
irish and sweet, are prosperous.
Wheat that has been threshed gives
satisfaction. Grains are we'll matur-
ed and from l6 TO 20 bushels for one
realized. Tobacco, calves, poultry,
etc, are shipped from the different
wharves Messrs. Geo. ID. Brown.
ley and James Ross ship fine cab
bage, which yield them fair figures
net.
Strange faces are frequently seen.
x, Y, z,--there they go singing TO
the tune Of new not an old song.
Old landmarks where are they !?
Visit the graveyards near by and
decipher II possible their names
chiselled upon the weatherbeaten
tombs Their immaterial parts we
trust are studying and becoming
better acquainted with the "ordi.
nanees OF heaven !" for there Is some
thing in the biissful region TO do.
The idea Of sitting down in some
quiet nook or corner and there re
main inactive throughout the unnum-
bered ages Of eternity is repugnant
TO the minds OF some mem not TO be
thought Of. DO not the intellectual
and moral powers OF man revolt at
such a theory2 The Bible teaches
that angels visit the earth, which we
think shows that activity is the or.
der among observation-disclosures Of heaven.
