C.. A. r. and w. r. {.

| History is resplendent with the
| heroic deeds of valiant men who
| have willingly laid their lives on the
altar of sacrifice in the interests of
| great principles and human benefac-
ton. The world has rarely ever APP
preciated these noble characters sill
they had passed from earth; then
with eulogy and exclamation their
names and deeds have been Landed
to the heavens, their graves strewn
with flowers and shafts raised to
their memories. But the G.. A. r.
and w. r, G. of this city adopted a
better and more appreciative plan
last Friday evening in honor of Rev.
A. ID. Macs and wife who are leav-
ing for IA more lucrative position in
Minnesota. Rev. Macs spent five
years in the regular army including
the civil war, and proved valiant
defender of our country. He went
forth from Michigan with Co. G. I'd.
U. $. artillery, the history of which
is one grand, thrilling tale of danger,
hardship and heroism. He took part
in thirteen great battles and suffered
four months in the famous Libby
prison. AS a citizen he has always
enjoyed the highest esteem of his
comrades and the public in general.
At the last annual election of Off
GERS of q. H. Legate Post of this city
Rev. Macs was honored with the po-
sition of Commander, and while act
ing as such at "A regular meeting of
the Post on the evening previously
mentioned was once more captured
this time by friends, they being
none other than members of the Re-
lief Corps who come in "a body laden
with regrets and well wishes. The

Carlyle Mckinley Is Dead.

When man gives the best years
OF his life to the accomplishm ment of
a life's purpose he will have done all
that mortal man can do. Men may
toll on day after day with eaeal
strenuousness of effort and high aims
OF purpose, but it is left to the man
OF genious to accomplish the greatest
good for his fellow men.
Carlyle Mckinley was q genius,
quiet and unostentstious, he worked
for the betterment of his people. He
gave the strength Of his brilliant in
tellect to the revealing of his people q
needs, and the prophetic solutions of
their most trying and puzzling prob
lens. The works of this bright mind
will live on to bless, brighten and
better those for whom he so devoted
ly labored and their posterity.
We feel better when we have added
our mite to those tributes already
paid this noble man by the other
newspapers Of this State and othei
States.

LaZineSs.

LaZlness, in greater or less degree.
has probably existed since the fall uf
Adam, but with all our bOasted progress
remains most common and unreproved
SIN. 1t causes more failures than any
one evil, the drink habit not excepted,
and claims its victims from all grades
and conditions of society. Laziness is
not regarded as disreputable, or especial
ly harmful, but merely as mild hin
drance to progress or ambition, which is
the main cause of danger. Lsziness in
children is rarely ever reprOved, except
In joking manner. 1t is really feai-
ful disease, which will eventually en-
thrall body and mind if no remedy be
applied. All over our land are miserable
homes, wrecked by lazness. The lazy
father fails to provide for the needs of
his family, and the lazy mother neglects
work and duty to husband and children.

may never admit that love of ease is the
cause Of their failure
LaZiness is the twin brother of selfish
ness, and grows with cultivation, as does
other vices. Only the indepently rich
can afford to indulge this luxury, and
they must pay the penalty in weak and
undevelOped mental and moral faculties.
Instead of txhausting our strength and
energy upon opposition to intemperance,
gambling and like recognized sins, why
not unite in crusade against lazinessp
Not only the laziness to be found in the
kitchen, field, on the street, or begging
at our doors, but the laziness that flour
lshes in high places, and has only money
to make it respectable.

ously in fight against laziness, the

MR.. SULLY, COTTON PROPHET.
He Predicts That Crop Will Be Be-
low That Estimated.

New York, Aug. 19.-Although ham,
pered with bankruptcy proceeding, in
his office at No 40 Exchange place, Dan
lei j. Sully yesterday informed his friends
that he still considers himself in the light
of prophet on cotton. He says that he
is convinced that instead of bumper
crop Of IL 600, 900 bales, the crop will
not exceed 10,750, 900 bales.
There is a great deal of misconception
in regard to the coming CROP" said Mr..
Sully, "Tbe yield Is almost bound to fall
below the popular estimate, From the
great acreage already considerable a
abandonment has taken place, and a fur
ther decrease will occur when the pick
ing seaaon starts aui The pressure on la
Dor becon. great.
, despite all attempts of the govern
ment and outside agencies, the boil
weevil has not been curbed in its onward
course. When the true condition OF the
crop is known and the buyer of the raw
product fully realizes to what extent the
consumption will exceed the production,
a demand such as never before occurred
will breyail.'
