SEE THIS ONE SURE.
The Wonders Of Woodshine and the
Handiwork of Real Artisans.


One of the exhibits that every Wis
itor to the fair should see Is that OF
T. +. Jones, the wall paper and paint
man. who has his store in the Finkle
block. In a little tent just west OF
the grand stand Jones has an exhibit
of the work which he and his men can
and have been doing for the people of
Marshall county. An old door that
had seen service for forty years Is
shown, one side finished to look like
hard pine, the ether as 1t was before
the work was done. The contrast is
an object lesson in the painters art.
Then there is All old shabby commode
half of which has been treated with
Woodshine. The half that has been
treated looks like handsome cherry.
Jones is sole agent for Woodshine here
and what 1t will do for your old furni-
ture, your floors, etc, Is surprising.
Go in and see Jones exhibit.

Treat at County Fair.

The average persons is always skep-
teal about the so-called educated
horses" but there is little Arabian
stallion on exhibition at the county
fair, that will remove all doubt as to
a horses education. There is one
thing this horse can not do and that
is talk. He does nearly everything
else.
One entertaining feature of King
Pharoah's performance is that the
members Of the audience take part
in the exhibition. The horse does
their bidding the same as he performs
for his master and makes no mistakes.
He adds, subtracts, selects colors, picks
out members of the audience from de-

Many of those critics that insist upon
dwelling on the failure to take Washington
Immediately after the route of the Federals
at Manassas or Bull Run lose sight OF
other Opportunities that we failed to
seize during the war. To name only few.
We could easily have captured Grant and
his army at Shiloh, with little more dash,
a little more steadiness and spirit in our
commanders. Incompetence or ignorant
leaders surrendered Fort Donelson after a
victory, when, even if they felt forced to
abandon the fort, they could have with
drawn their forces, as Forrest did his COM
mand. Another opportunity was missed
at Fredericksburg; we should have bagged
the grossly incompetent Burnside and his
unwieldly host. We left Vicksburg to its
fate, thus FORGETTING our control of the
Mississippi. We committed suicide BY re-
moving Johnston at Atlanta, at the time
when that admirable soldier had organized
victory, thus opening to the ruthless Union
raiders the entire lower South. And we
missed another great opportunity by not
marketing our cotton, thus procuring gold
with which to purchase needed arms and
ammunition.

Southerners Up North.

The Southern trade is justly classed as
one of the most valuable assets of the
Northern States. But the North is de-
irving benefit from the South of far more
Importance than it's commerce, and that
consists in the able and brilliant men which
the Northern cities are drawing from DIXIE.
Thousands of the best of Southern citizen
ship have gone North and are there pros
pering. They have, almost without ex-
ception, been received with hospitality and
in open arms. The doors have been wide
open to admit them to the best society and
to every profession and class of business.
And, the best part about it, these men do
not find Unnecessary to change their views
or their politics, or to make any apologies
for the conduct of the South in the Civil
War. Some few sons of the South have
found it to their profit to stab the mother
that bore them, but these are very few,
indeed.
A gathering of Southerners in New York
on Friday evening to the annual dinner of
the Southern Society OF that city was
made up of gentlemen of whom any land
might be proud. There were in the gather
ing such men as John G.. Carlisle, of Ken
lucky; Thomas Nelson Page, of Virginia !;
DR.. William M. Polk, DR.. John A. Wyeth,
Samuel Spencer, John c. Calhoun, Au-
gustus Van Wyck and many others who
have left the South and taken high posi-
tons in their Northern homes, but who
sing of the land of their birth as exiles of
old song of their native city-"f forget
thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand for
get her cunning. If | do not remember
thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth. Yea, if prefer not ,Jerusa-
lem in my mirth!''

Now that the old year has passed away
with all its joys and sorrows, its prosperity
and adversely, its heartburnings and
pleasures, and the new year is ushered in,
let US give pause to cast accounts, and 1t
would be well if more people did not con-
fine their exercise to things material, but
that regard be had for things spiritual as
well. For without the spirit, matter is
dead, and without spiritual advancement
material success is meaningless and idle.
Every mile stone passed in this life brings
us ga days march nearer home" and
every act committed by us has been passed
to our credit or debit, as the case may be,
in the 'Lamb's book of Life" AS to
which side of the ledger this entry goes
our conscience will tell US, and also will it
tell us how the balance stood when the old
wear died. If it was to our debit let us
make PREPARATION as far as possible by
avoiding repetition of life offense this
year If it was to our credit let us con-
tinue to add to ii until our assets will be
sufficient TO afford us a happy entrance
into peaceful harbor, "where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary shall
find rest" when the time comes.
To "turn over a new leaf" is not an
easy thing to do. We may be so 'sot in
our ways that only fixed determination
and master will can accomplish it, To
break away from s'day off with the
boys" occasionally, or give up conviylal
evening is no easy task. To absent our
selves from the company of a select party,
with whom we have regularly met for a
long time on a stated evening in the week,
and there exercised our curiosity to "see''
our neighbor which cost us many shekels,
or vice versa, is exceedingly hard to ac-
complish. To pass 'srum MILF where
we have wont to go daily for long time
and assist the white-aproned artist in
"hand- painting our BREATH and thereby
lose the effects of the poison administered
is a good resolution that but few accom-
plish. To withdraw from gossiping crowds
whose chief occupation is to blast the
reputation of their fellows and damn the
character of good citizens is a sacrifice OF
morbid desire to keep posted,' which
we don't like to give up. These are few
of the worldly things for which new
leaf is necessary if we would correct them
as good citizens should.

about the only thing that really counts in
this old world.
New York Press: From the way they
don't try to hide it, most fools must be
darned proud of it.

party regulating the trusts reminds us OF
the saloon regulating the whisky traffic.
Philadelphia Record: We should all do
unto others as we would have others do
unto us, but we generally wait for them to
do it first.

buy talking machine, Bud, when you
can utilize some of your spare time and

Brookhaven Leader: A newspaper
whose columns are displayed with saloon

in the decent homes of Mississippi and
ought to be tabooed by all good citizens
Louisville Courier-Journal: A little
magnate in a life insurance company got
away with little $500. Sing Sing fol

life insurance company gets away with
great fortune. Wine, women and song

Denison Herald: Don't worry. There
is nothing in it but gray hairs and wrinkles
with shattered nerves. Make the best Of
the situation confronting you; have con-
fdence in yourself to work out your own
problems and you will find yourself all the
stronger when the true test comes.

Captain Brooke:
Baltimore Sun.

lA'"11iAioAo cuH'l
Capt John Mercer Brooke, of Lexington,
Va, whose death was announced in yes
terday's Sun, was eminet among the great
geniuses and inventors of the weird al the
man who contrived and built the Virginia,
the first of ironclad rams, which in the
spring Of 1862, destroyed in Hampton
Roads number Of Federal warships and
!" did up" the turret-ship Monitor that
came to the relief of the remainder of the
Federal fleet. The idea of having iron
sides to protect the gunners and vitals of
warship was "in the air" before 1859, but
Brooke was the first to embody the idea
successfully in vessel which was practi-
cally and magnificently efficient. It was,
accordingly, bis invention that precipitat-
ed the substitution OF steel for wooden
warships in modern navies. Ericsson's
" cheese box-on-a-raft" type of vessel
was long ago abandoned for seagoing war;
ships, but Brooke's scheme of iron sides,
with ram at the Prov, is day illustrated
in every navy. He it was also the first
that strengthened the breech of big guns
by shrinking on wrought-iron rings, with
the result that the Brooke gun" at the
close of the Civil War was recognized by
Federal officers as the best gun of its class
in existence. Other inventions made by
him greatly facilitated the military and
naval operations Of the Confederate States.
The world is further indebted to Captain
Brooke for its irsteficientdeep-sea sound
ing apparatus. After the Civil War he
found employment aolng with Gen. R. E.
Lee, Commodore NJ. +. Maury and other
notable Confederate officers, at Lexing-
ton, Va, where he guided the education
OF thousands of the choice spirits of the
land.

MORE ON THE QUESTION.


The archbishop added to what he had
already said:
''But this is not all that the church has
said on the liquor question. Here is a
pastoral letter issued by the archbishops
and the bishops of the same council to the
clergy and the laity of the United States,
which shows that am not taking an inde-
pendent position, but that these same
views have been held by the church, many,
many years. The archbishop then turned
to the letter mentioned, from which the
following extract was taken:
There is one way Of profaning the Lords
day which is SO prolific of evil results that
we consider it our duty to utter against
it a special condemnation. This is the
practice of selling beer or other liquors on
Sunday, or of frequenting places where
they are sold. This practice tends more
than any other to turn the day of the Lord
into day of dissipation, to use it as an
occasion for breeding intemperance. While
we hope that Sunday laws on this point
will not be relaxed, but even more rigidly
enforced, we implore all Catholics, for the
love of God and of country, never to take
part in such Sunday traffic, nor to patron
ize nor countenance it. And we not only
direct the attention of all pastors to the
repression Of this abuse, but we also call
upon them to induce all OF their flocks
that may be engaged in the sale of liquors
to abandon as soon as they can the danger
Gus traffic, and to embrace more be-
coming way of making living.
And here it behooves us to remind our
workingmen, the bone and sinew Of the
people, and the specially beloved children
of the church, that II they wish to observe
Sunday as they ought, they must keep
away from drinking places on Saturday
night. Garry your wages home to your
families, where they rightfully belong.
Turn a deaf ear, therefore to every temp
tation; and then Sunday will be bright
day for all the family. How much better
this than to make it day of sin for your
selves and of gloom and wretchedness
for your homes by Saturday nights fol-
ly or debauch: Ne wonder that the prel-
ates OF the second plenary council declared
that "the most shocking scandals which
VS. have to deplore spring from intemper-
ancs.' No wonder that they gave
special approval to the zeal of those who,
the better to avoid excess, or in order to
give bright example, pledge themselves to
total abstinence. Like them, we invoke a
blessing on the cause of temperance, and
on all who are laboring for it's advance
ment in true Christian spirit. Let the
exertion of our Catholic temperance soci-
cites meet with the hearty cooperation of
pastors and people; and not only will they
go far toward strangling the monstrous
evil of intemperance, but they will also
put powerful check on the dissertation
Of the Lords Day, and on the evil influen-
ces now striving for its total proclamation.
