TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
In Memory Of c. ". WarnOck. Of Phil
adeIphia Baptist Church.

Bro. 9. w. Warnock was born
Sept. "a, 1856, in Lincoln county
near CaseyviIle, Miss, in which
community he lived until about
ten years ago, when be moved to

On April Is, 1878, be was mar
ried to Miss Ruth Coter, which

dren. five of whom, two sons and
three daughters, with their
mother, survive him.
Early in life Bro. Warnack pro-
fessed faith in Christ and united
with Philadelphia Baptist church,
during the ministry of Rev. j. A..
Snyder. He lived a consistent,
active Christian life and, after a
lingering illness, which he bore
cheerfulIY, died in triumphant
hope which can come only to those
who have their affections fixed up
on the eternal city.
Bro. Warnack always stood for
the right and was outspoken
against sin and corruption,
wherever he found it. He was an
earnest, jealous worker IN his
church showing intense interest
in its affairs, even when he was
confined to his bed and could not
attend. He always had the inter-
est of his neighbors at heart, show
ing a seIf-sacri6eing love and SYM
pathetic regard for those about
him, exempIifying the injunction,
Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the
things of others" (Phil. "a.
Therefore be it resolved:
1st. That the family has lost a
tender and devoted husband and
father.
End. That his neighbors and
friends have lost one of their
most cheerful and helpful friends.
3rd. That we have lost one OF
our best and most law-abiding cit
izens.
4th. That the church has lost
one of her most active and useful
members.
5th. That a copy of these reso,
lutions be sent to his family, a
copy printed in the county paper,
and copy spread on the minutes
of the church.

Board of Supervisors made the
interesting discovery at the last
meeting Of that body that the
ginners of his district were the
only ones in the county who we're
paying taxes on their gins. He
raised the proper kick with the
result that every gin in the county
was placed on the taxable list.
We think in districts where the
gins were not assessed separately,
the parties who owned this kind
of property simply included it in
the valuation of their realty just
as they did their dwelling houses.
But the Board classes gins under
the head of manufacturing and
makes them taxable as sue h.

Governor Hoch of Kansas Loves the
Smell of Printers Ink.

| Governor f. w. Hoch of Kansas
| will quit office on Januarl l. He has
a national reputation, and many mer-
camille concerns in different parts OF
| the country have been trying to en-
| tice him into their lines with big Of
fers. But the governor is instructive
~ a newspaper man. He owns the
Marion, Kan, Record, a weekly with
a circulation of 1900, established in
1870. He said the other day in an
interview:
81 want to run newspaper. / love
the smell of printers ink. The grind
of the printing press is music to my

SEEKING BRITISH MARKETS.
Many American Articles Now Popular
I'm Scotland.

Consul j. G. Higgins OF Dundee, in
the following report notes some con-
dltlons and circumstances by which
an American manufacturing firm de-
string TO enter the British and other
foreign fields may profit;
While consults get many requests
from American business men for lists
of firms engaged in their trade, which
are promptly supplied, correspondence
with such firms can not fail to in
struct the would-be exporter as to
whether his goods are to have an
opening that is worth seeking. If he
is encouraged to make the attempt he
must at once decide whether he Is to
seek to do business by correspondence
and circular, or by appointing stock
carrying agent or by opening sales
room on his own account. There are
now to be seen deliberately illustrated
London circulars devoted exclusively
10 American goods, also Sheffield
circular with an American department
Of many pages. A London house is,
by attractive advertising, pushing an
American safety razor to phenome-
nal sale, but the commercial traveller
is mainly used. Great Britain is ter
ritorially so compact that business ov-
err its entire area can be cheaply con-
Quoted. A travelling salesman can
leave London or Liverpool or Glas-
gov i'm the evening and be ready for
business in any British city by the
opening hour of the next morning.
The commercial traveller IS always to
be seen. If he is selling dry goods a
porter attends him with a barrowful
of trunks or hampers. from which
samples are drawn as wanted. While
there is a strong theoretical sentiment
in favor of homemade goods. it prob
lbly seldom prevents a buyer from
taking the better article for the money
whether by finish or adaptability, no
matter where made. In hardware.
for instance. the following American
goods have market: Tailors'
shears. safety razors, fret machines,
iron planes. bread knives, spoke
shaves, saws, hammers, wrenches,
screw bits drills, tool pads, hand
drills. iron frame saws, glass cutters,
screw drivers, revolution counters,
cutting pliers. hack saws, screw pitch
cages, screw cutting tools, surface
cages, chuks, etc.

SMOKING IN CHINA.
The Use of the Cigarette Now Gcncr.
al Among All Glasses.

Consul j. C. McNally, of Nanking,
furnishes the following information
relative to cigarette smoking in Chi
ma:
The demand for cigarettes In China
today Is only exceeded by that for
Kerosene. Nor Is this habit confined
alone to the male portion of the pop
uatien: the females OF all classes and
ages. from 10 years up, indulge as
freely and openly In cigarettes, and
with as much apparent enjoyment, as
do their brothers.
The Introduction OF this habit
among the Chinese dates back but a
few years. and its universal spread
throughout the empire has been as
tonlshingly rapid. The manufacturers
say that their production Is up to the
standard and entirely free from OPT
um. The small cost of cigarettes,
which can be bought from one to
thousand at as low as one-fourth of
an American cent each, may have
something to do with their universal
use: but whatever the cause, the Gig
arctic has apparently come to stay
has superseded the cumbersome water
pipes heretofore so common among
the Chinese, and Is even used by
opium smokers, who find an added
pleasure In the smoking Of a cigarette
after inhalng the opium fumes.
According to good authority, the
monthly sales in Nankin alone
amount to 1876 cases of $4,000 cigar
cites to a case, costing about $24 gold
per case The Increase of the sales in
or about foreign settlement could
naturally be attributed to the influ-
ence Of the foreign indulgence, but in
Nankin, with no foreign settlement,
and not more than 40 foreigners |
apart from the missionaries, the |
steady increase of the sale is, to say |
the least. surprising.
The unlimited advertising Of the |
merits of the various brands, through |
the medium Of flaring posters. pasted

Football Played by Dogs.
(London Times.)

An interesting illustration of how
much animals enjoy sports of any
kind is shown in a football game play
ed here by dogs. The dog football
team enjoys a contest similar to their
college friends game. The rules gov
erning the contest are in every way
based on the football rules and the
dogs enter into the sport with Wig
or equal to that of the university
teams. They seem to understand ex-
actly what is wanted and soon be-
come very proficient in every depart
ment of the game. The game is
played with a large rubber ball sim
liar to the old association football
and the dogs push this over the
line with their nose. 1t is very ex-
citing to watch them play and brings
out the almost human intelligence Of
the well trained dog.
