"In live years’ time,’ says Edgar h.
Wakeman, “I have tramped along 3000
miles of British roads. Each time I
slop my feet upon their broad, firm,

tlionght of the mud pikes and bottom

c .untry; rich, groat an (I strongenough
to match tlio roads of Europe without
a week s delay. And yet for five months
of every year, und in a lessor degree
for the other seven, half < f thi people
of our farming communities are im
prisoned and impoverished helplessly
at homo. As one result, the peoplb of
the whole country pay, in an indirect
road tax, through annual sharp ad
vances on all food necessities of life,
all of which the farmers lose, a sum
each year enormous enough to main
tain as superb roads as England any

of cultivateble land in the entiro Uni

A friend who once traveled with a

she caught him talking to a pretty

jumping into to the lion’s cage, and
hiding himself behind the unimais.

The punishment inflicted upon Pri
vate lams in tying him up by the
thumbs was unnecesary brutality
whice can only have the effect of
bringing into question the sound judg
ment of the authority by which it was
imposed. Discipline is necessary, and
soldierly obedience to orders; but there
was no occasion in this instance to
add physical torture and maltreatment
to the disgrace and degradation of
dismissal,—Philadelphia Record, Ind.
The infliction of this punishment by
a malitia Colonel and the shaving of
the victim’s head at the suggestion of
a militia General, should cost them
both their ill-fitting straps. Streator
had as much right to impale lams on
a stick and set him out in the sun to

^The list of America's “billion dol

present Congress goes beyond the one
before it in appropriations, and will
overmatch its claim to tne “billion

cheerful fact of our billion dollar ex
port trade. One thousand and thirty
millions needs the addition of a frac
tion of a million to represent the value
of our exports, $128,000,000 more than
the highest figure reached in any year
before. The fact is, this is a billion

Cupid’s Vows Consummated
On Sunday, .July 81, 1892, Prof. W.
P. Stewart and Miss Nettie Kennedy
wore married at the home of the
bride’s parents, near Burnt Mills, this
county. They left Tuesday for Milam
county. Texas, their future home.
The groom is a young man of ener
gy and high intellectual attainments.
He is a graduate from the National
Normal University, and is a successful
t3acher.
The bride is a young lady of one of
the first families of the county She
is highly cultured, possessing the rare
and lovely graces needful to make
home attractive. Our friend Stewart
is to be congratulate in winning the
heart and hand of one so fair.
If integrity to principle, and merit
and worth avail anything, their lot
will be a prosperous one. their home a
happy one. Many good wishes for
their success.

TRUTH.
It may not seem exactly the proper
thing to do to use our columns for
public censure, but under the circum
stances there is no alternative. About
four months ago I took charge of the
Local Work on this paper. All the
I year, previous to this timo. I had been
. doing a general soliciting in its inter
est. I have devoted my full time to
the best interests of the town and com
munity, and appeal to tho public as a
living witness. I have received many
wosds of encouragement in the way of
compliments paid the paper; all of
which I highly appreciate, but while
good words are always in order, they
ure not legal teniJer, and there must be
a more substantial mode of manifest
ing appreciation.
Some of the loading citizens of tho
town—men of means and prominence—
have not patronized the paper evon to
the amount of a subscription. Vet
they read it each w*eok and pass favor
able comment on its columns.
\ou will observe that there is not a
professional card in the paper, though
the town is well supplied with lawyers,
physicians, surgeons, mechanics, ma
chinists, contractors, builders, etc.
If you have interest in tho busiuoss
progress, social welfare or moral and
intellectual good of the community,
you are certainly placed under somo
obligations to vour home paper. The
question is not how much good it will
do you from a dollars and cents stand
point It is not a financial considera
tion, but a question of loyalty to homo
institutions. The theory may bo false
but it remains yet to be proven so.
It is questionable to my mind wheth
er a man can have a true spirit of patri
otism in his soul, and at the same time
neglect, yes oppose, borne enterprises.
lou will further observe that there
is one display ‘nd.1 in the paper, still
we have about t wenty merchants, nice
courteous gentlement, but seemingly
take no interest in newspapers. It is
strange indeed that this is the only
place on earth where it has been found
that judicious advertising doesn’t pay.
We have made weekly calls on the
business men, soliciting their patron
age. Only three or four have respond
ed. In the name of reason! Rise up
in open rebellion and squelch the thing
it it is not lit to contain your adver
tisements, and start one that is. You
can.t afford td bo without a paper,
and a newspaper cannot live without
an advertising pat onage. If you are
going to make any manifestations, let
us hear from you. It is a settled cer
tainty that henceforth your sentiment
will bo judged fobeln accord with
your acts, and myselt for one will not
be a party to the intrusion of a sheet
which this public deems unworthy.
The business appearance of the pa
per is bad. Why? Because it reflects
a bad business appearance of the town;
because it lacks a column of profes
sional cards and a dozen display ‘ads.’
to make it look like there is some life
and enterprise in the town.
A newspaper’s paid up patronage
ought to reflect a true picture of the
town from a business standpoint, while
the news, local etc. are for value re
ceived in the way of subscriptions.
This is my honest conviction, and If
wrong am not a newspaper man.
hvery citizen of this town ought to
send at least one copy of the paper
regularly to a friend outside. It will
be a good advertisement for the town,
and will pay in dollars and cents.
Another thing I will call attention
to just here, while it is in order: This
has been an unusually pleasant voar
here, socially. There have been a
great number of entertainments—re
citals, musicals, contests, public speak
ings, home-talent concerts, etc. I
have written them up, almost without
exception, in appropriate manner. In
addition to giving our spaco to encour
age and further these enterprises, I
have almost invariably paid, just like
other folks, for the privilege of seats
on these occasions. This act of negli
gence we are sorry to say comes from
the leaders in these progressive indus
tries, and shows a lack of knowledge
of courtesy, else a lack of regard for
the Sams. They have “bragged on us,”
but withheld patronage.
Again, we have written up the
school, time after time, and have yet
to get the first complimentary ticket
to any of its receptions—VVe paid ut
the door. '
I have taken especial care to distri
bute hundreds of co] iJH containing
ftems and notices concerning the town 1
and its institutions. It has had no
effect on the patronage.
If you are going to begin patroniz
ing let’s hear from you, otherwise I
understand that your appreciation are 1
not worthy the efforts of a special |
editor for the town and county, and],
will step down and out

DIED.
In Iuka, Miss., Monday morning,
Aug. 1, 1892, at 4 o’clock, T. P. Hyatt,
son of Capt. C. J. Hyatt. The funeral
took place from the Methodist church
Tuesday morning.
One of luka's noblest young men has
pnssod over the river to receive his
crown of righteousness and dwell for
evermore with God and his angels in
the land of puro and perfect bliss. In
the early years of life, almost ere he
had crossed the lino that characterizes
manhood from youth, he was seized
wilh that dread malady, consumption,
which for two long yoars preyed upon
his vitals. He bore his sufferings as a
true and valiant soldier, dntil the last
when he was bound to the pangs ol
death. But to the bereaved ones it
should be a swoot, consoling assurance
that he was ready—at peace with his
Master. May the sorrowing family be
comforted in this, their sad bereave
ment.
ANTONY AN1) CLEOPATRA,
ACT 4: SCENE 12.
Mare Antony had swayed and swept
the multitudes by the omnipotence of
his oratory. He had, as he himself
declares,
“With his sword
Quartered the world, and o’er green
Neptune’s back
With ships made cities ”
ith Caesar he had slain the eno
mies of Julius. Under the spell of
Cleopatra he had incurred the mortal
enmitv of this snm»
tie of Actiurn had been lost; for
Egypt’s fleot had quit the scone, and
the Homan’s heart “was to her rudder
tied.
Cmsar’s victorious troops had fo’
lowed to Alexandria. Again the ar
mies had met, again the Eagle was
victorious. To crown tho climax of
his growing woes, a messenger now
announces to Antony, “The quoon is
dead.” Hear his answer.
“Unarm Eros, the long day’s task
is done. And we must sleep.”—The
last stroke in life’s long battle.
“UNARM.”
Tlie same command will come to
every soldier on life’s field. Of glad
ness or sorrow, which? To him who
hath fought with carnal weapons only,
methinks’t will be order for surren
der; for him who, clad in the whole
armor of Truth, with the sword of tho
Spirit, hath fought the good light,
’t will be the note of victory won.
“THE LONG DAY'S TASK.”
Is it to you a “Long day’s task?”
To him striving to develop the pow
ers within him, a short day’s task.
To him seeking all the day to raise
his fellow-man into a, purer, happier
life, a “short day’s task.’* To him
working for the Master, a day’s task
all too short to do in part, even, that
which he would wish to do before the
“night conaeth.”
“is DOSE.”
Long or short—Light with cheer,
heavy with disappointment—Bright
with success, dark with grievous fail
ure—the “Day’s task” soon is done.
Young man, young woman, working
in the fields of thought; digging in the
mines of worldly wealth; Railing on
the seas of pleasures; striving for the
flower that blooms to-day. or waiting
for the “Crown of Asphodel flowers
that are wet with the dews of Nopenthe.
“The long day’s task will soon be
done,
“And we must sleep.”
Ah! the deep pathos of this confession^
Immortality must sleep! The glancing
waters on their way to the sea do nev
er stop to sleep. The fierv worlds in
the depths of space roll on, nor feel
the weight of weariness. Hut we—
“We must sleep.”
Aside from the lessons in the words
themselves that Antony here utters, I
find behind it ail a deeper lesson still.
.T is this. The downfall of Antony on
this day is not this day’s work. For
years before he had been fighting the
bat'le that to-dny he says is lost. The
prior life decides the present crisis.
“In the morning sow thy seed, and in
the evening withhold not thy hand.”
