day notified the counsel for the
Standard Oil Company that the Valu'
alton of their property in this State

A Good Samaritan.

Harper's Weekly.
A Southern writer tells this story
OF a negro preachers version OF the
parable of the Good Samaritan:
There was traveller on lonely road,
said the preacher, who was get upon
by thieves, robbed, and left wounded
and helpless by the wayside. As he
lay there various persons passed him,
but none offered to assist him.
Presently, however, a Good Samaritan
came by, and, taking pity on the
wounded mans plight, helped him
on his mule and took him TO an 1nn,
where be ordered food and drink and
raiment for the man, directing the
innkeeper to send the bill to him:
''And dis am true story, brethren,
concluded the preacher; ''for de Inn
am standin' dere yet, and in de do'way
am standin' de SHELTON Oh de inn
keeper, waitin' for de Good Samari-
tan to come back an pay de bill"

Salute to the Flag.

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind
was singing in New York, the Amer
lean frigate, St. Lawrence, returning
from cruise aboard, came into the
harbor. The young midshipmen, on
the first night of their shore leave,
went to hear the famous singer.
The next day the boys, to express
the emotions that her wonderful voice
bad stirred in them, call on her in a
body. They hardly expected that
she would receive them, but she did;
and she was 30 charmed by their
youthfulness and ingenuousness that
when they timorously asked her if
she would like to see their ship, she
accepted the Invitation. Then, grow
ing bolder, they asked her to lunch-
con, and she accepted that invitation,
too.
When, on the appointed day, she
came on board With her companion,
the captain saw her from his cabin
and recognized her.
There is nothing more strict than
the courtesy observed in ship eti-
quette among officers of all ranks.

age mess, where midshipmen ate

In this case the captain rang the
bell for the orderly.

age mesa," ne said, "that the captain
is going ashore, and that his cabin is
at their disposal, if they care to use
it,"
The luncheon, however, was eaten
in the steerage; but, after the pleas
ant meal was over, the boys proudly
invited their guest into the captains
cabin, where they took their coffee.
"Ask her to sing something" whis-
pered the paymaster's clerk.
"Tll thrash you if you dare!" re-
turned ore of the midshipmen, under
his breath:

too. They brought up guitars and
sat on the poop deck above, singing
''The Suwanee River and other pop.
ular songs.
"How pretty" cried Jenny Lind,
with enthusiasm, clapping.
When at last she was LEI; ':ug, she
paused on the step between the carv'
ed sides of the gangway. Looking
up at the floating Stars and Stripes,
she said:
Il wish to salute your hsg.'
Uncovering her head and holding
her hat in her hand, she began to
sing "The Star spangled Banner"
As she sang the first verse, every
officer and and every man came
silently on deck. When she had
sang the song to the end, deafening
cheers rang out from the st. Law
renee and were taken up by every
ship nearby, for all had been listen.

Spilled Tomatoes.

Saturday evening a woman, with her
arms full Of bundles, was seen hurrying
across the yak just across the street
from The Journal Office, when suddenly
the bottom dropped out Of one of the
sacks, and tomatoes rolled in every di.
reetion. For a moment the lady stood
with a look Of disgust on her face,
which would have withered anything
not 50 juicy as a tomato. Then she
undertook to pick them up. She first
set the sack down on the walk, and it
promptly turned over. She finally
rounded up the obstreperous tomatoes,
and deposited them alongside Of the
sack, and went on, leaving them for her
husband TO bring into camp.

"Mr. Huston will be an active can.

He has been a successful lawyer and Is
well liked wherever known. His home
Is at Hi1lsboro, Washington county,

"In 1892 he was elected on the Dem

The Popular Loan.

Tho Salem Board Of Education de-
serves credit for adopting the popular
loan plan Of securing the money TO fin
ish the high school with.
The bonds will be call bonds just
the same as on three other occasions
when this city and school district have
applied this plan Of raising money.
The bonds will be sold to the people
direct, and will be non-taxable and
pay per cent interest semi-annually,
smaller bonds issued first.
This enables the holders Of idle
money on deposit in the banks TO buy
these bonds direct from the district
and keep theinterest at home.
Salem has set aside the general Gus
tom Of selling bonds in big blocks to
some syndicate and sending all the in
terest out Of thu country and putting
the debt where II cannot be paid of
ab the earliest day.
There is no doubt the Salem school
board will be heartily sustained in
their decision to float this popular loan
and make the people themselves the
creditors of the community, instead Of
eastern bond-holders.
