T'tero was a man in our town,
And he whs wondrous wise,
lie bought a heavy stock of goods
]>ut wouldn't advertise.
He said the folks knew where he kepi,
And what he had to sell,
And If they didn't come and buy
They all might go to?well
They didn't come, and there he sot
And growled and cussed like sin,
Till by-and-hy the sheriff came
And gently scooped him in,
And busted liirn up

THE PRIVATE SOLDIER IN THE LATE WAR.
The ' Private Sol'liur in the War ol the
.Rebellion"?he is dead, or lost, strayed or
stolen, possibly. We do not know where
he is. Rut lie is not here. He has j^one
away to some place. Perhaps ho has ceased
. ' to be necessary.
Perhaps, if ho wore here, ho would be
in the way. At any rate, ho is not around
Ho dues not go to the Legislature. c do

lie is not eagerly tnitoht "? ? n?rv<1
for ?nything. Nobody seems to know any-,
tiling about him. Occasionally ho appears
mi the pension list, with one leg, a wile and
seven children, and eight dollars a month.
If Hour takes much rise he will not last,
much longer at any rate, aud wo shall soon
be deprived even of the occasional glimpse
we now have of him.
U is asserted, and quite generally believed,
that ut one time lie was quite numerous,
and was even considered rather convenient
; "Tl not, inacou, quite uuuspcusiuic. n was
*' found that upward* of one hundred of him
were necessary in order to secure mere lilies
of commissions for three eminent and deserving
men. When field commissions
were wanted for three even more eminent
and great mon, one thousand soldiers were
necessary, thousand! It seems an
enormous number now, when by consulting
the Congressional lM*rectorv, wo find there
arc uono in nil this proud Republic.
lJut twelve or fifteen years ago even that,
Incredible as it may appear to us to-day,
was considered a small number. They wore
private soldiers; there were even hundreds
of thousands of them.
And they wore useful. They dug trenches
; they constructed long linos of breastWorks,
aiul then, whou the enemy citnc
within sight they climbed -over them, and
went outside of them to fight. They worked
and watched and fought. Co-opcratiug
wi)h great and eminent men who huYe
siucc to .their rewards in ono office
anu anoincr, meso private soiuiura oumutimes
rendered very useful service iu winning
great l>attl :s. Oh, they were useful
Some historians have even gone so far as to
maintain tint, without them the war could
hardly have keen car licit on. They were
really quite useful. And uow they arc all
gone.
It seems sad, looking back at the war.
that uono but tho Generals and Colonels
and Majors and lino officers should have
ever iniumui in > >. ,, ,
' *- or i??<?on^ undoubtedly took special
a lack of eminent men, kind of forgot tho
private soldiers and let them wander away.
And so thoy arc all gone. Some of them
got shot. Some of them got married and
moved out of the world, to settle upon tracts i
of Government land, where tho Indian-I
could get at thotii more easily. Some of
them went into business. Somo of them
arc teaching school. Some of them went
away And didn't leave their parents' address.
Gut all tho same, they arc all gone, j
it seems dreadfully lonesome without j

negroes were hung by a mob to-night. At
7 o'clock on .Monday, seven negroes wept ?
to a house of ill 1'auic ami ravished four r
white women. Four were arrested, and at '
.'J o'clock this morning, Kd. Hayes and Oscar
Thomas went to the house of J).inie) s
Harris to art est his son for being coi.cerucd. 1
1 [arris ope tied his window and liretl two 1
barrels of a gun into Thomas' face and *
stomach, killing him instantly. Hayes re- 1
turned tlio lire with a revolver, shooting
Harris in the nock atul arm. Harris ran 1
and was overtaken about a mile from the
house and returned to jail. As morning
came, the matter was discussed. Crowds 1
gathered ut the Public Square and attempts 1
were made to foreo the jail. A mob organ- ?
i/.cd and boarded trains to present the militia 1
or officers coining from abroad. The crowd 1
was all the thno^iucjteasiqg^ml *
_r of Thomas, who was '
well liked. 'The wildest rumors went* 1
through the city and the mob became more 1
and more excited. About uoou a colored
hoy was driven from the Square and fired
at. lie got t wo shots in the back and head,
hut was not seriously hurt.
A,s evening approached, the mob with- 1
drew to the woods west of town, organized,
masked, and waited until ID o'clock and '
then marched into town like Ku Klux, silently
and in good order. The jail was '
guarded by men with shot-guus and one 1
piece of artillery, hut the guards wore t
quickly overpowered, and Ilayes, the ?
Deputy Sheriff, thrown down and the keys
takeu away, while the mob" and crowd fired
guns and revolvers, so as to create a panic.
The foiir ravlshers, Win. Chau.fccT3, James, j
Hood, J. T\ Hopkins and Kd. Warren were
locked in one cell, and sledge-hammers were
used to break in. While the noise of the
hammer sounded, old Harris was butchered
in the corridor by relatives of bis victim,
and tho pieces thrown down the privy vault,
unknown to the outside crowd. After half
au hour's work, the bars gave away, aifld
tho four strapping negroes were tail Vll^>
bound with ropes around their "The*

over the stump of the broken limb, and he
was run up and ' stretched heavily agaiusl j
the trunk. 1 hiring the affair, a gun was
filed, and Alex. Crunk, the Sheriff elect,
a cident.dly shot iu the eye and will loose

were also shot accidentally.

flien where are the funds coming from to

one product raised that it is very low, and if
you happen to depend wholly on that crop,
where aro yon then ?
Now, if you practice mixed hti. b.im.lry it
is entirely different; for you are almost certiiu

The most independent farmer is the }

iner will suecccd who makes up his uiitul
that the whole secret of success i? in himself
j that it is the man ami not the business
that tells. He will succeed if he
brings to bear the saint amount of skill,
forethought, energy, ecououiy and judgment
that any other branch of business requires.
Ho will succeed if he sticks as close to his
farm, as the mechanic docs to his shop, and
hot expect to work three or four months
aud then take his ease the rest of the year.
That farmer will succeed who takes the
papers, and digests what ho reads, and is
P not afraid of new ideas and new methods
of industry, lie will succeed if it is his
intention that whatever he sends to market
shall be the very best, and so made and
