Tell me, ye winged winds that

wives clean house no more; some

ocean girt, where life is not one
ceaseless war with cobwebs and
with dirt; where only nature’s car
pet spreads beneath their tired
feet, and wretched men are ne’er
compelled its emerald folds to
beat? The lake breeze fanned mv
heated face and said: “Beat on?
There’s no such place.”—Ex.

TO THE MERCHANTS OF McCRORY.
Thei'e are but few editors in our
state who have not made a vigor
ous and continuous fight against
the city mail order house. This
has been done in the interest of
the home merchant, and without
money and without price. If the
editors of the land had received
regular advertising rates for all
they have said against these ene
mies of the country merchant they
could now be wearing diamonds.
Now the department store man ap
preciates advertising space and is
willing to take all the average
country editor has for sale, and at
a good price. What other class of
business or professional men
would refuse business to help their
friends, especially as many of said
friends who never seem in the
least disposed to return the com
pliment or even appreciate it.
The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well
avoid treading on somebody’s toes
continually; must expect to be
censured often for unintentional
failures; must expect hard work
and little thanks; must expect to
be called a coward because he does
not “pitch into” everything that
somebody thinks is wrong, and a
fool if he speaks out too plainly
on public evils; he must expect to
grind other people’s axes, and
turn the grindstone himself. Still
we think it is one of the noblest
professions on earth; the one in
which the earnest man can do the
most good to his fellow man, and
in which an honorable man can
weild power for good.
Stop grumbling. Get up two
hours earlier in the morning, and
begin to do something out of your
regular profession. Mind your
own business and with all your
might let other people’s alone.
Live within your means. Sell or
give away your dog. Smoke your |
cigar through an air stove. Eat
with moderation, and go to bed
early. Talx less of your own pe
culiar gifts and virtues, and more
of those of your friends and neigh
bors. Be cheerful. Fulfill your
promises. Pay your debts. Be
yourself all you would see in
others. Be good, do good and
stop grumbling.
Many people are embarrassed by
unconstrainable fits of sneezing in
public places, which make them
very conspicuous. It can be easi
ly stopped. Just press firmly up
on the middle of the upper lip
with the finger, and the tickling
sensation in the nose will disap
pear. It rarely fails. The theory
is that a nerve, which plays an im
portant part in the sneezing, lays
under the lip, and is paralyzed by
the pressure on the lip.

OUR TOWN-A PULL TOGETHER.
There is no room for doubt but
that our town, with the united ef
forts of its enterprising citizens,
can greatly increase its business
and enhance the value of property.
Everything indicates a forward
movement. The high standard of
morality that exists is inducing
many to look this way with a view
of locating. Our excellent school
is a feature greatly appreciated by
the best people of this section, and
are proving attractive features.
As a trading and shipping point
our town is already ahead of any
place in the county or this section
of country. No place of its size
in the county receives greater ship
ments of merchandise or sends out
more live stock and timber. Our
business houses are being trans
formed into beautiful blocks, and
residences into modern dwellings
and cottages.
Now as many are thinking and
talking of coming thither to locate,
let all give them words of encour
agement and hearty welcome to
this goodly laud of peace and
abundance. Encourage those who
are worthy whether they have cap
ital or not. Labor is worth money.
Those who have money will buy
lots, build houses or remodel old
ones. Let us work and stimulate
every legitimate enterprise by
giving it all the friendly encour
agement we can, and unite our in
dustry, intelligence and capital in
a common cause for the good of
our town. Let us cultivate a pub
lic spirit and talk less and work
more. Encourage our local au
thorities in making improvements.
Speak up, speak well, talk encour
agingly of our town and its bright
prospects. It is these many little
considerations that makes a town.
Nature has showered upon us her
choicest blessings, and with per
fect unity and effort for the good
of our common cause, great will be
the result.
If you are a kicker and see the
shadow of failure in everything
that is proposed to help the town,
for heaven’s sake go into some se
cluded canyon and kick your own
shadow on the clay bank, and thus
give men who are working to build
up a town a chance. One long
faced, hollow-eyed, whining kicker
can do more to keep away business
and capital from a town than all
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs,
cyclones and olizzards combined.
A couple were recently married.
The ceremony over, the wife be
gan to weep copiously. “ What’s
the matter?” asked the new hus
band. *T never told you that I
don’t know how to cook,” sobbed
the bride. Don’t fret,” said lie,
“I’ll not have anything to cook,
I’m an editor.”
Don’t forget what your wife told
you to get down town, or you may
get it when you get home.
Drink, and the world drinks
with you; swear off and you swear
alone.
