'J ? u 1 1 . - The KaimciotiH Olawa of The liri ^ifsh JMon (Jnnblo to Clutch Tho Proy. - To us of the Southland who bravely dealt herruloan bloww for tlie sacred caufce of 'iberty, who suffered defeat ouly when our bra vest and beat had bathed with then heart's blood the land that gave thorn birth, who remember the de vastating march of Sherman, when Untold wealth was destroyed, state ly And handsome houses given to the flames, women terrified and al1 of the grim, ghastly, hideous scones J of helllah war were an acted hero; there can be but thfl,/ deepest and "tenderest sympathies for the liners. These Boers soem to bo a simple, God fearing, biblo roading people., Fighting for hearth and home and llred by a noble patriotism they have thus far withstood Lh?Bfilish, and commanded the admiration and respect of the world. Fighting, bleeding, dying, they represent lib _ etty and with their boat blood arc ../writing ono of the moat glorious pages to be fouud in human histo ry? and demonstrating to u in a in - mon-loving world that sublime heroism belouga to the man of to day as well as it did to the Greeks of old, the Anglo Saxon of the mid dle ages, or the soldier who follow ed the starry crops under the im. .mortal Lee. What will bo the ouloomy^f the war is locked up in the inserhtable future. The British have thus far been unable to crush the llcers. May the Gjxt of Battles shield and protect them against their encodes. What Next? When the c&to of Roberts, ilro * Mormon, wir being arguod In tho Congress of the Untied States the other day, and this latter day saint with the many wives, apoko In Iti vor of his being allowed to retain his seat In that august body, wo are told that he was applauded by wo. men. Wo have gotten u*ed to bloyole skirts* women lawyers, women doc- 1 tors and woman's rights in all of it* diversified aspects, but wo must ... confess that we were n little taken aback when Roberts received the countenance nnd support of women within the walla of the National j Capitol. Christianity has ennobled and beautified the lifo of the weak er sex. Its teaching have made the family olrole what it 1m to day with woman as its sweetest guld- ' ing spirit. The lasclvlouiineHA of mormonlsm, its suro and certain degradation of women, make it loathsome and repulttlye in ail right thinking people. Then surely these were not women who upplaiided Roberts, but devils in the female form sent by the Prlnee of Dark ness to blacken the fair fame of the geatler, tenderer sex. The devil is still up to his old pranks. What next? with I doJJar i rW9t ? The llciuuu Why. The following from an exchange gives Rome of tho reasons for the talk of hard times among noma of the people While there may be some exageration in it there is also considerable truth : We let our timber rot and buy our plough-stocks, singletreea. axe han dles hoe handles and fenciug. WTe throw away our ashes and buy soap and axle grease. We give away our l>eof hidos and buy hamestrings and shoestrings. We waste uur manure and buy guano. Wo bny garden seed in the spring nnd cabbage in tho wiutcr. We let. our ianda grow up in weeds and boy our brooms. \ We waate the wax out of pur pine and gam treeeand bny ehewihg gum for oar children. We build acbool bouses and hire teachers and aend our children off to be educated. * S . - We catch * five cent fish with a foor-dollar fishing rod. _ - it- bqr oat WHY DM Our Competitors m fa .. t BECAUSE WE SOLD FLOUR TOO CHAP. r What Are They Going to do When ley See W " TOBACCO 300 PER P0UN3.
