THE ABSENT HERO.
(Gridlejr, Captain of the Olympia.)
In the prood telling of the hero's story,
Amid the braves of a great acclaim.
Speak.low and bang a wealth of glory
Above one simple name!
Silent he is, amid oar vast rejoicing.
Silent?yet eloquent that morn of
May,
Vfhen his fierce guns the words of
doom were voicing
Within Manila bay.
With him for whom our hearts are
overflowing
He stood that day at rising of the sun,
Nor listed how the gales of death were
blowing
Where duty lay undone.
"When ready.Gridley, fire!"?the summons
found him
Ready to imet the foeman's iron hail;
The bursting mine, the storm of phell
around him,
Were as the flapping sail.
Yet, now we see you not among your
seamen.
We see you not when most, we wish
to tell
How your proud country's million- 1
voiced freemen <
Have learned to love you well! I
When the deep thunder of a grateful
people
Rolla onward to the haven where
you are:
When the thronged street, the musicechoing
people
Cry upward to your star.
Know, Gridley, how your deathless
fame is cherished
In souls that feel now boundless is
their debt.
And, though the mortal heart of you
t has perished.
Our hearts will not forget.
?John Jerome Rnoney.
THIS CROP WORTH $50,000,000
MORE THAN LAST YEAR.
This year's cot Ion crop, short
as it is, will bring the farmers
$36,000,000 more than the
big crop of last year. Counting
450 pounds to the bale, la6t year's
crop of 11,000,000 bales at 5
cents, brought $247,000,000. This '
Year's crnn r?f 0 ftflfl AOfk KoUo '
^ ? w. W|, ? V^wv. vvv lyaivo
(and the crop may be more than
that) at 7 cents will bring $283.
000,000, a difference of $36,000,
000 in favor of this year's crop |
To this sum should be added the >
saving in gathering, ginning and
marketing the smaller crop, which (
at $7.00 per bale would amount
to $14,000,000. Adding this to
the saving of $36,000,000 noted
above, gives a grand total ot $50,000,000.
This is not the result (
of the prudent management and J
foresight of the cotton planters, i
but of the beneficence ot a kind)'
iTOvjuence. I'he farmers planted!'
for 11,000,000 crop, hut l'rov J'
idence cut it down to 0,000,000,1
which resulted in giving the ini '
poverished cotton growers $50, i
000,000 more than they would
have gotten.

"I wish to express my thanks to the
manufacturers of Chamberlan's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, for,
having put on the market such a won- .
derful medicine," says W. W. Maasingill,
of Beaumont, Texas. There are
many thousands of mothers whose,
children have been saved from attacks
of dysentery and cholera infantum
who must also feel thankfnl. It is for

Van Wyck Letter.
Mr. Editor: As it has been
tome time since we have written
any for the press, we are strongly
inclined that way by several du
ties we think should not escape
aur farmers, as their very salva
tion as a free and independ>nt
class should not be overlook, in the
midst of this very recent rise in
the price of cotton. We very well
know the weakness of human ru
tore and many of the farmer* no
doubt, who have made good reso
lotions as to the sowingof a large

probable high price of cotton next
fall to mislead them ami they
will endeavor to try the all c? t
too plan again. thinking th?\ can
buy western flour, meat and corn
cheaper than they could Km* i\
which is a sad mistake. This great
upheavel in the price of cottnr
has not been brought about b\
anything earthly, but was a Fro*
idential interference. It is man's
intentions just reversed, for with
the large area planted in cotton
this vear, we would have raised
the largest crop that *a? ever
erown bv the south, and instead
:>f seven or eight cents,as farmer*
are now getting, they would he
getting four or five cents now. 41
uhmit it would look more -?t.si

thirds or just enough to

such a? wheal, oats, rye, miu.ii

New York, Oct. G.?The fire

of ice in such a manner as to bruise it
severely It became very much swollen
and pained him so badly that lie could
not tvslk without the aid of crutches
lie was treated by physicians, also
csed severnl kinds of liniment and
j two and a half gallons of whi?key in

until he began using Chamber,

and delivered a note signed by 11
the chief of police, Wiley Wil 8
liams, asking Mr. Bates to chme 0
to the hank at once as the chief
