during a recent visit to West Vir -),
ginia, General Fitzhugh Lee met an no
old comrade in arms who regarded a1
him with some disfavor. "What's N
the matter?" asked the General.
'Out with it!" "Well," said the rel
ex-Confederate, "I want to die at Ba

"the first quarter of the present pr

The Kenton (Tenn.) Argus is not J
wrong when it says that all this talk c
of nominating Mr. Bryan for a third 0
time is all rot. Mr. Bryan is all
f right personally, but he has received P
two nominations from his party and a
was overwhelmingly defeated. The A
party should take a practical view a
of the situation. There is no use
going through the slaughter-house
every four years for sentiment. We
believe the Democratic party will
and should select another leader.
Mr. Bryan to the contrary notwith.

The Conoordia Sentinel of Iast
week contains an editorial condemn
ing and oriticising the State en
gineers and the Levee Board in run
m ing a line of levee too near the
town, which if built will throw out
the oil mill and a few other build
ings. The editorial is hardly fair
and just. Every one knows that it
i is not the purpose or wish of the
engineers and levee board to levee
out property except when it is ab
solutely necessary and for the safety
9f larger and more valuable interests
than a mere building or two.
Whole plantations with their dwell- 1
ings, gins and other buildings are
often levied out. Such things have
to be done, and we believe if that
levee is build as laid out by the en
gineers, it will be done only as a
last resort. The engineers, nor the
levee board, should be criticsed for
trying to do their duty to the entire
people of the distriot.
The Baton Rouge Advocate of
Wednesday last contained a scath
ing editorial on the H. & C. New.
man cotton steal and the closed.
mouth of the New Orleans dailies
on the subject. The Advocate
wanted to know why the district at
torney and the courts were not do

trail antil the announcement was
made that the good Mr. Ourley
thought it was about time to act in
the matter, and to show to the State
that rmosey and influence out no.ice

Now where do I get any money to pay

bring in New Orleans, and I will loose
seven dollars per bale if I do as you

sides dat, boss. I'se got thirty head of
cattle to graze on your land, and you
must furnish de wire and fix de fences
to keep dem off de twenty-five acres I

Boss.-White men having cattle to
graze usually buy land and fence up R
their own pastures.
Tenant.-Dats so, but I'se on your
land and you must do as I say. if you
has to loose money, Dats straight,
boss. nl
SCENE III.

Ohio river corn in sacks. I wants to
buy it by the measure and not by de
weight.
Boss.-But I'll loose ten pounds to
the bushel if I sell in that way. The
corn weighs sixty-six; pounds to the

Shundred dollars in cash all ready to -

I wants yon to have a full storeroom, so T
dI can take up plenty an' let yon carry
over my debt another year.
is Boss--But suppose you fake up as T
much next year and make a short
u crop. I'll loose money. I
Tenant.-Now boss, what's I got to

it land an' dat ought to satisfy you.
t, Sides. yon know dat when you gets all T

THE BEER THAT MADE MILWAUKEE
FAMOUS : SCH LITZ"
For fifty years Schlitz beer has been brewed at Milwaukee. From
this city it goes to the remotest parts of the earth. The sun
never sets on Schlitz agencies. Civilizei men do not live where
Schlitz beer is not standard. People now demand a beer that is
healthful, and that demand calls for Schlitz. Every barrel is
filtered-eviiv bot.lh is sterilized. A beer that is pure is healthful.
That is Schlitz.
Every First Class place handles Schlitz.
