"The Scarlet Letter."

The old saying, Every cloud has its
silver lining" should often bring us
comfort when the world appears to be
frowning upon us. A rare example of
this was shown by Hawthorne's wife,
who proved herself to him true
friend in need" One wintry day he
had received notice that his services
would no longer be required at his of
flee. Weary and downcast, he return
ed to his humble home. His young
wife stood waiting for him and no
ticed at once that something was
wrong. He told her his troubles.
Straightway the brave little woman
with her own hands kindled a bright
fire; fetched pen, ink and paper, which
she set beside him; then, with a BEAM
ing face, she touched the sad man on
the shoulder and said, "Now you can
write your book" Immediately the
cloud cleared, and things presented
themselves to Hawthorne under a
changed aspect. He felt n freed man;
the office appeared as a cage from
which he had escaped. "The Scarlet
Letter" was written and proved a mar
velous success. and fame rewarded
Hawthorne and the brave little wife
who had faced the cloud and found its
silver lining."-"The Value of Life"

A Terrifying Via.

ma, friend of his stepped into n bar

his time he desired the barber to Shaw
his head. This gentleman wore a wig.
but which, for the sake of GOODNESS he
had placed in his pocket. This opera-
uon of shaving, so common In China
was speedily and quickly executed, the
barber seeming to be delighted with
the honor of shaving one of the illus
trlous strangers. Previous to his leav-
Ing the shop and while the mans at
tention was called in some other direc-
ton my friend replaced his wig upon
his head, little thinking of the result
or this simple process. No sooner
however, had the barber turned around
and observed him whom he had so
lately cleared of every yestige of ba,r
suddenly covered with most luxu-
rant growth, than, taking one steady
gaze at him 20 make sure he was not
deceived, he let fall the razor cleared
his counter at a bound and. running
madly through the crowd, which was
speedily collected, cried out that he

TIE BOIL WEEHIL

From a number of sections of Hemp stead county comes the report of the existence of the boil weevil. These re- ports are authentic, and the weevil it. self is in evidence as a proof of its ex- istence. At Fulton, and more especial ly along the river bottom does it abound in great numbers, and the statement of those who have watched it's course for number of years, that it travels north at the rate of 50 miles a year, will bring it into Nevada Coun- ty next season.
 It's appearance at Fulton and other places in Hampstead County was not observed until within the past month, which was too late for it to do any material damage to this years crop.
 The weevil only works on the square, literally speaking. A square that blooms without the weevil's attack, iS safe so far as the weevil is concerned It can do no harm then. The damage is caused before the bloom forms.
 There have been a number of sug- gestions offered as to the best mean; of getting rid of the evil or weevil but so far nothing seems to check it 1T its northern march. The government offers an immense reward to any one who will discover a means of destroy ing it. They are hard to kill. One o1 them can live in an air tight bottle fol weeks without food. They multiply al an enormous ratio, and are absolute de struction when they attack field o1 . young cotton.
 AS to just the damage they may dC in this section in the future remains to be seen.

"The New Seuih."
(Bv the Local Union)

One of our good friends of the east, in a recent address, took his audience .On an excursion through the New South, "cross- ing the Ohio river into the blue grass hills of Kentucky with ninety-seven counties out of 119 that had voted out Kentucky whiskey.
 He told how the drOuth in creased as the train crossed the line into Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama; how the prohibi- ton emancipation had invaded Texas, Florida and the Carolinas, and reached the top of the pro- hibition Pyramid when the train reached the capital of Georgia. He gave the names of eight states of the South with 390,000 square miles of territory and 1 1,300,0 ,000 population that last year produced 1000 fewer bar rels of beer than Christian Koch ester, N. Y.
 Yes, out from her baptism of fire and blood; out from the ash heaps in which the~ war left our cities, a New South" has surely risen, a South of union, freedom and prohibition. Abraham Lin. coin said: When that victory shall be complete, when thel e shall be neither slave nor drunk ard. how proud the title of that land" etc. Carry the news to him that the South he loved. the South in which he was born, will be the first to wear that crown mo slave and no saloon." for it seems like a three-century leap in fifty years.
 Carry the message to Henry Grady that white souled knight who said: If everything else I have said is forgotten, 1 want the words I have spoken against the saloon in Georgia to be remem- bered." |"
 And where is Sam Jones? It seems that if there lives a soul on earth or in heaven more than another, entitled to the golden pen with which Gov. Hole Smith struck the final blow that cast the saloon from Georgia soil, it belongs to him. Others have done well, but he exceeded them all.
