When It is left in the hands of Its friends, of course. When a friend told ns he had seen in a certain great paper that Senator Tillman had challenged a senator from Iowa to fight a duel, we told him to never mind. That was only another big snake or bear tale with out a syllable of truth In It. What ever the most avowed enemies of Senator Tillman may bring against him they dare not call him a fool, and he certainly would have played the fool to perfection by sending or ac cepting a challenge to fight a duel. There is always less harm in a big, unreasonable lie than a smaller one somebody might believe. The colored people had a barbecue last Saturday near Wllklnsville. One of the best farm papers we read makes this sensible and humane sug gestion: “Now as the farm work is nearly done let the husband and children see to It that th e wife and mother has a season of rest and en joyment. She has been faithful and attentive all the year, denying her self of rest and pleasure that her family may have a season of pleas ure, and she Is too often Imposed upon In this way; for she seldom, If ever, gets an outing.” Let the hus band and children see to It that she has her much needed reet from the constant demands of the household on her for patient toil and labor.
