The Story oi a Trail. She was a tall, stout individual and sprang out of Uie wagon as lightly as a spring chicken after a grass-hop per. 11c was a little, withered, dried up weasel, and followed slowly, with a basket of eggs. They entered one of our stores and she asked : "What are you givin' for eggs?" '?Eight cents," was the reply of the 'county jumper. "Well, here arc three dozen," said ' the fat party, "and I'll take it out in "calico." "But I want some yarn to mend up mj socks," put in the old man. "The weather will soon be warm," replied the fat party, "and you can then go without socks." "Hut my boots hurt my feet," in sisted the old man. "Go barefooted," said she rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk, she changed her tone, and remarked : "?"Young man please count out the ' eggs and give mc four yards of cali co to match this 'ere dress." "But-," the old man was going to continue, when she raised her huge index finger and said : "Henry Winter Davis Spriggins, them 'cro eggs urc mine; the hcus what laid 'era arc mine ; the corn what fed 'era was mine, and 1'sc going to have a trail on this ere dress as long as Betsy Gowen's, if every toe on 3*our foot turn into gumbilcs. Now, shut 'up! and you youngster, yank of that '?cro calico, or you will hear a bum ble bee r. buzzin'." The old man shut up, and the clerk yanked off the calico, Don't Get the Big Head. Don't get too big for your breeches .?just because you are a little prosper 'ous, and have a few more dollars than some of your less fortunate ?neighbors. Man)' a man much bet ter off than you are has come to his wallet and slaff. Before the war we remember to have heard a then rich ?man say that he was never to work lin the field. That same man to-day is ^ploughing an ox and splitting :rails. Facts?and, if we felt so dis posed, could name him. Go slow on your moonshine prosperty and riches, ?for you may yet tumble. Don't get the big head, but take your prosperi ty slow?you may get under the wcalln r, and yet be glad to have your poor neighbors recognize you. A poor man is just as good as a rich one, if not better?were ii not for the poor people, this thing called a world would soon bo nothingness, and the inhabitants would soon go to the devil. The poor, not the rich man, keeps this world moving. Is he entitled to no respect for it? 'Think and consider the matter.?Ex 'change. How Not to Get Locai News. He came into our office, and after paying his subscription, said : "1 guess you can stop sending my paper, I've just subscribed for a pa per I need more." "Just so," wc returned. IIo pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to us for inspection. It was a Philadelphia publication, being neatly printed, ornamented with a handsomely engraved head, and con taining about forty-eight columns of reading matter. "A very fair looking paper," said Wc. "But my dear sir, do you find much news concerning our county in it?'* "No, ho didn't know that he had fionnn any." "Do you find anything about our fSlftte?"r" "No, he never did." Ami yet he mcded that sheet much more than he did his county paper. Such are blessings to any communi ty. What cnbrpriso Wtuld flourish with them? What Farmers Sucoeed. That farmer will succcd who makes up his mind that tho whole Beeret of success is in himself, that it is tho man and not tho husircss that tells, lie will succeed if ho brings to bear the same amount of skill, forethought, energy, economy and judgment, that any other branch of business requires. I Ho will succeed if he sticks close to j his farm, as the mechanic does to his shop, and not expect to work three or four months and then take his ease the rest of the year. That farm er will succeed who lakes the papers and digests what he reads, and is not afraid of new ideas and now inetho of industry. Ho will succeed if it is his intention, that whatever he sends to umikct shall be the \cry best, and! so made and put up thai when seen it will be captivating fur its freshness, cleanliness and purify, and will be unhcasitatingly taken on account of his well known character for honesty of weight, measure and count. Those' who have farms may think themselves fortunate, for although they will not thereby lind sudden rofuls to wealth, they certaiuly prove that persistent farm labor will bring a sure reward. It is worth)' of notice, that the adven turer and speculator, with blasted hopes and shattered health and for tune, have in the end to come back to the farm for health and safety. Agriculture is the basis of national strength and wealth, and a most cer tain and liberal support of all who follow it intelligently. The Old Flag. What is the matter wi& tho people of Sumtcr, any how? If Mr. Charles H. Moiso is reported correctly in Iiis testimony before the Teller Commit tee the Stars and Stripes are not very popular in the Game Cock Count)*, and by the time Mr. Charles II. Moise's statement t,o this effect shall have run through a half dozen of the stalwart organs of the northwest, it will have been made plain to the mind of the world that the people of Sumtcr County stand sadly in need of some more reconstruction. If Mr. Charles H. Moi&c's statement is true then arc the people of Sumtcr very stupid, and sadly iu need of correc tion. Each rcd-shirted Democrat in the county should be penned up and fed on broiled American Eagles for at least six months. The men should be made to wear the uniform which brother Jonathan always wears in the dime novels and on the stage ; and the ladies should all be forced to dress a la Columbia, while the in fants should be condemned to wear penny bibs and tuckers, made of red, while and blue, until after they arc weaned. In fact, the people of Sum tcr should be put through such a course of discipline that, at the mere sight of a carpet-bag, every man, ?vo rnan and child in the county would rise up aud shout, until they arc hoarse, for the old flag?and an ap propriation.?Sunday Times. Well Kept Farms. A well ordered farm, well chosen slock, comfortable buildings, a neat ly kept garden, toad way or entrance j wav, ga'es well bung, fences well kept, shade trees, ornamental shrub bery, paint without and whitewash within?all these arc worth more to a farmer in money value than a hun dred dollars carefully scraped to gether and jealously hoarded and loaned to needy neighbors at inter est. No investment pays so well as I money judiciously spend in far; ptovonienis. Draining wol laud will pay 50 to 100 percent, on ii s cost every year; good stock will pay equally weil, good roads will turn lheir cost every year, a gate will save its cost in a short time, a good fence may save ils whole cost in one night, a well-kept garden, a neat lawn, orchard and shade frees, which need not cost 8100, havo added ten limes thiil amount to the valuo of a farm, and the comfort and self-re spect gained through the outlay fov these and from their possession are worth more than the cost. Blessings on him who invented sleep?the mouth that covers all hu man thoughts, the food that ap peases hunger, tho drink that quenches thrist, the fire that warms cold, the cold that moderates heat, and. lastly, the general coin that purc'iases all things, the balance and weight that equals the shepherd with the king, and the simple with the wise. A witty Western editor, suffering from a depleted purse, copied in his paper an account of an accident, in which the man rescued from drown ing related that, at, the moment of sinking, he had a most vivid recollec tion of every circumstance of Infi life, and at the end of the paragraph pointedly advises Ids subscribers to bathe in deep water.
