When a boy we used to hear great deal * about this eccentric old man, who, by the way, was a minis ter of the Methodist persuasion. In deed, if we remember correctly, our maternal grandmother, who was a <k out Methodist, had a book of Dov s life, and we read it with t great deal of interest. Dow was ec centric, but he was a wise man and a fine student of human nature. It is said that he would make appoint ments months, and even years, ahead, and that he would always meet them promptly. We might relate several incidents in connection with his wife Peggy and himself, but two will suf fice for the present. On one occasion when he reached thc neighborhood where he had an appointment waiting for him a year or more, he was told by a gentleman that he had lost his axe. (Axes were very costly, we presume, in those days). "Well,'*said Dow, "if the thief is in this country I will find him." The whole neighborhood and the regions around about were on hand next day to hear his sermon When he had finished his discourse he announced about the lost axe and his intention to find it. He said "The rogue is in this house, and I have a stone in my hand with which I am going to hit the fellow right square in the head." So saying, he swung his arm around as ho faced the audienoe with a motion to throw keeping his keen eyes on those who eat before him, and one man dodged "There," said Dow, "is the fellow who stole the axe," and it was true The man waa guilty, and he could not keep from showing it. Guess he thought Dow had a smooth stone in his sling like unto the one with which David slew Goliah. Just one more inoident. On similar occasion, when arriving in neighborhood, Dow waa told about a woman who had lost her rooster It may have been a rooster the good woman was saving for the preachor, No doubt preachers loved chicken as well tnen as they do now, and Dow may not havo been an exoeption He proposed to get that rooster. He got a largo washpot, turned it upsid down with a ohicken under it, blind folded tho crowd and had them to walk around tho pot, and each one was told to touch it with his hand Dow stating that when the follow in the crowd who stole the rooster touched tho pot, the rooster under it would crow. When tho perform ?nee was over bc demanded a show of hands-took a kind of hand pri ^ roary-but one man's hand had no smut on it. "There," said Dow, "is the fellow who stole tho rooster." Ho was afraid to touch the pot, knowing that he was tho rogue and believing with all his heart that that chioken would crow if ho touched it. Are not these illustrations apropos to conditions in those latter days ? Just lift your hand and soo the dodg ers. It is ludicrous to behold. And seo tho follows who are afraid to touch the pot leBt tho rooster should crow. They have clean hands, but within they are fall of corruption. Seo the fellow? all over the dountry, from the big insurance men down to the little swindlers who oould not stand tho test. And Dow 1 O, Dow ! Suppose you lived in these days, and edited a newspaper, and heard the wails and the lamentations pf folks whose ories 'go up daily as they run hither and thither, saying "ho means me." How j would it do for you to take the Speaker's stand in tho House, in Co lumbia, and wavo your hand over thc heads ofvthe politicians there? Or to get among the dispensary gang ! And, Brother Lorenzo Dow, suppose when you bogan ttl tuging ink around promiscuously, saying real things in your paper, you should see nomo heads a dodging, lest they might be bit by one of your smooth stones and mayhap you might hear a few roosters crowing who were not exaotly under a pot ?- (?reenwo? d Journal. -- - CASTORIA For Infants and Children. , The Kind You Have Always Bough!

Thomas Looper, the oldest minister of the gospel in the county, if not the oldest in the State, died last Tuesday evening at 8.30 o'olook at his home near Clement post oftioe, in this county. Ile was in his 92d year at the time of his death. He had been ia feeble health for more than a year. The remains were laid to rest at Peter's Cree k church-yard the day following his death. A large and sorrowing assembly, com posed of friends, relatives and neigh bors, attended the last sad rites. Mr. Looper came of a family noted for health and longevity. He was a Baptist by profession, and had been a minister of the gospel for sixty years. He married, during his life, something over 600 couples, which is probably more than any other minister in the State has married. He was a good man, well thought of by every one who knew him. Ho leaves one brother, Jerre Looper, of Pickens, now in hie 86th y?*ar, who was too unwell to attend the funeral, and quite a number of nephews and nieces in this county and several in Other parts of the c )untry.

Nervous Worn-Out If you are in this condition, your nerve force is weak-the power is giving out, the or gans of your "body have "slowed up," and do their work imperfectly. This failure to do the work required, clogs the system and brings distress and disease. When the nerves are weak the heart is unable to force the life-giving blood through your veins; the stom ach fails to digest food; the kidneys lack power to filter impurities from the blood, and the poisonous waste remains in the system to breed disease. Nerve energy must be restored. Dr. Miles' Nervine will do it, because it strengthens the nerves; it is a nerve medicine and tonic, that rebuilds the entire nervous system. "Several years ago I was all broken down. I was nervous, worn-out, could not sle?p, and was In eonstnnt pain. I doctored for months, and anally tho doctor said hu could do nothing for me. I began taking Dr. Miles' Nervino, and used altogether eight potties, and I i..-. .un.- strong and healthy, and now weigh 170 pounds." .... c- CUNNINGHAM, 108 Ellsworth Avo., Alloghuny, pfc.

Seneca, Januar) 80.-A few binti of my recent visit to Charlotte maj not prove uninteresting to your read ers. I found the place a thoroughly "old fashioned" one, with evidenoee of push and stir and handsome pub lic buildings. I went through the Carnegie Library, the United Staten assay office (formerly the mint), saw the collegee, post office, court boase, monuments* etc. My host lived a few miles out, but with blooded horses and macadamised roads, travel was indeed reduced to a song. My host, Rev. W. H. Davis, pos sesses a weakness for blooded stock, be it horses, dogs or what not. Mr. Davis was a classmate of John and William Vernor at Davidson College and is a brother of Rev. John Davis, the missionary. So there were John and William T>avia and John and William Vernor, a group of more than ordinary interest to a large number of mutual friends. I found the cook, who had been in the family thirty years or more, an interesting specimen of her kind also, she being able to tell me of a lot of Davidson College history; for a fact, she wit nessed the marriage of John Vorner and was able also to tell a bit of un written history of the occasion. ] asked her to tell me how she made SUoh delicio U biscuit. "Well, ] takes a good size lump o' lard, s pinch o' sody and, when comp'ny'f here, a leetle grain o' baking pow der." The poor, faithful creature added that she "must go home tc her sick boy, who was sufforin' witt a bad spinal trouble in his back.'

She is bright aotivo and charming, with a propen Hit.y for getting at things, and npot knowing who your humble servan! was, remarked, "I was entertained at your brother's house when ir Columbia." The chm ches in Charlotte are an index to at least an amount of spirit ual pride. They are handsome and beautifully kept, the First Presby terian churoh ocoupying an entire squaro, with magnificent trees and an elegant lawn of grass. I met s fine young fellow in tho family whott I visited, who, by the way, is a COQ ned ion of Mrs. Jackson. In ordet to appear pleasant and avoid a gar in conversation, I asked the kid "i - - were not the image of our Mr. Finlay ?" "Oh !" he said "I'm going tb tell Mr Finlay? The young man declared ho "didn'i have to feel for that." I found alse that kids will be kids. On Sabbatt T attended divine services in a hand some country churoh, of which m j host ie pastor.

The following is from the Charlotte Observer: We mentioned recently the case of an aged ex-Goveruor of Wisconsin who re tired last month to an old people's home in his State to die in poverty, and that of ex-Oovernor Ross, of Kansas, who was one of the Republican pivota upon which the impeachment of President Johnsou turned and who was compelled in his old age to return to his trade as a printer, at which he would have died except that Mr. Cleveland, while Presi dent, gave him a position in New Mexico, where he saw the end of his days. The paragraph was the mentis of bring ing from a friend an interesting bit ot information about ex-Governor Frank lin J. Moses, of South Carolina, who has had a checkered career. He is a native of Sumter and was Governor of his State during the reconstruction period, at the end of whioh he betook himself to Mas sachusetts, where he has since remained, being muon buffeted by fortune. For a while be conducted a weekly paper* in the town of Winthrop and afterward be gan to vegetate, living from hand to mouth, largely by borrowing from his friends. He took to opium and com mitted several offences which put him under the ban of the law. He was seve ral times tried and was twice in jail. His case became notorious. Hut at last "he took a brace," as the slang has it, and is now a member of the C. F.

Behind the caisson on which the body was borne marohed veterans of the Confederate army and of the Spanish- American war. All this morning the remains lay in state in St. John Episcopal church and th? body was viewed by an almost con tinual stream of government officials, army and navy officers and plain oitizens. The body arrived here last night, ac companied by the immediate members of the family. From the station it was escorted to the church by a detail of members of the United Spanish- A men ean war veterans in full uniform under command of Major Hogdson. Through out the night they kept vigil beside the body, being relieved this morning by a similar detail from the regular army.

These petitions will be ci reniai ed in evin y country dist i int BS well as in the oliy.

The dispensary advocates will strongly oppose the movement and do not seem to bo worried about the out oome. In Memoriam. On Monday, January the 8th, 1006, in the early hours of the morning, the pure and noble soul of Mrs. 8arah Livingston st ribling returned to its Creator ana left her happy home-desolate and grief stricken family to mourn with pallid lips, "Father, thy will be done." "A roue's brief, bright life of joy; Such unto her was given." Surely the Angel of Death could have spared her and taken some world-weary oreaturo to his icy embraeo; but no, "When e'er he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint or vice, He bears it to the world of light, To dwell in Paradise." She is wiser now than any seer or sage of earth; rioher because she possesseth Him who possesseth all things; happier being with the author or all happiness: safer, because she walks the sf.cots of Jorusalem the golden, clothed in the garments of immortality; her ears Ailed with the sweet songs of the Redeemer, waiting at tho gatos of Paradise to wel 01 nm: ber loved ones aa/ they o rosa over the river of death. The orushed family have the sympathy of the entire community lu this their great loss. Dead, did I say ? "Wo there is no death ! Au angel form Walks o'er the earth lu silent tread; He bears our best; loved things away, 'And then we call thom dead." A Friend.
