If earthly ills were fewer.
We eo'nliln't then complain:
Ami if the skies were bluer,
Perhaps we'll have no rain!
It takes a little sorrow
To lead our lines aright;
The sun that gilds the morrow
Is sweeter tor the night.
When winter winds are Hinging
The snow against the pane,
Somewhere the liirdsaresinging
They'll sing for us again!
Tell not thy mournful story
Sing not thy solemn song.
While in God's grace and glory
The glad world rolls along!

About (idling Married.
Extracts from a recent sermon of Rev. ('. A. Ful
ton, of llultiiuore. J
Love, courtship, marriage are of
ten made the objects of mirth, yet
all are sacred, since their origin is in
the act of God that gave the woman
to be helper to the man. When mar
riage is, as we say, "unfortunate," it
is generally because God's thought
about it has been overlooked. Too
many marriages are thoughtless,
blundered into no one quite knows
how. Some miserable marriages are
made by the pitiful ambition of father
or mother to secure for son or daugh
ter a ''distinguished" match, regard
less of adaptability or love. I have
known one young woman murdered
so.
It is a noticeable fact that many of
our best young women do not marry.
One day in a mixed class of young
men and women the course of the
remarks led a young man with an
03-e glass to inquire of the professor
what was the cause of old maids.
The professor turned the question
over to a voung womau, who pronipt-
I ly answered, "Dudes." There is no
I doubt but that one reason whv so
i -
many excellent young women remain
j single is the great scarcity of niar-
! ria "cable voung men. Even a for-
t
j tune with a good-for-nothing man m
j separably attached is no sutneient
i compensation for the sacrifice in
! volved. --
j It is better that there should be no
wedding than that the soul should
I fling itself away on one unworthy,
j It rarely, if ever, pays a woman to
I marry a man with the Lope of re
forming him. Men do not purposely
attempt that sort of thing with a
woman. Yet God made men and
women for each other because the
life of neither is perfect alone. They
should toil side by side, each one bet
ter for the other's help. Let us have
more men and women both of high
thoughts and noble lives, and there
will be more chance of happy unions.
Make yourself fit, young man, to
have a wife, and then get one if -ou
can persuade a fitting- woman that
you would be a fitting husband for
her. Look in the right place for a
wife. In general be not unequally
yoked with an unbeliever or a mis
believer that is dangerous. Don't
think that the best wife for you is
one who will adore you blindly. She
will get her eyes open sometime, and
there is nothing so hopeless as a fall
en idol. You want a wife who will
have sense for you sometimes when
you haven't any for yourself. Yet
you want one who will sympathize
with you in all your best endeavors.
Now, shall I tell young women to
get married? Another voice than
mine, with personal appeal, will have
to do that office. But I will say, make
yourselves fit to grace a home or do
without one furnished with a man.
But do not talk too much about "wo
man's sphere," as if she had formI a
better place for herself than God
made for her. If love is offered by a
worthy man accept it. knowing that
to make a true home is a destiny not
unworthy of the best. If there
should be a wedding, be sure you
have Christ there.
After Your Marriage.
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Never meet without a loving wel
come. Never allow a request to be re
peated. j Never let the sun go down upon
j and anger or grievance.
! Neglect the whole world beside
j rather than one another.
Never make a remark at the ex-
j pense of the other it is meanness.
j Never part for a day without lov-
ing words to think of during absence.

AUP'S FISH STORIES.
Xot His Own Experience, Hut What
Others Told Him.
Clear Water, Fla., Jan. 8. We had
mullet for breakfast. - They are a
good fish when fresh caught, but get
stale and tasteless when shipped far
away. I saw our host buy these on
the wharf three good large ones4r
a nickel, and he seemed to think he
was cheated said he generally got
them for a cent apiece, but these cool
mornings there wasn't much fishing
going on. Next day the weather
was more amiable, and two of the
bin-s made ready to go out on a
night's frolic with their nets. About
sunrise we went down on the wharf
to see them come in. The boat was
loaded to the guards with mullet,
speckled trout, red fish, groupers
and flounders, numbering 7'J3 in all,
and measuring from one to two feet
in length. One of the girls rigged
up her tackle and caught twenty-
three fine ones in half an hour right
near the wharf.
The way to tell a fish story is to
let the other fellow tell his first-
then beat him if you can; but I
haven't had experience in that line,
and so have to confine myself to the
truth. I have listened with amaze
ment at the other fellows down here.
Our host was regarded as a truthful
man as long as he lived in Cartcrs-
ville. Tie is a member of the church,
and savs rraee at the table, but he
told me that he had laid awake at
nights listening to the roar of the
mullet as they splashed over one an
other in cruising through the waters
of the harbor. He said it was like
the sound of many waters, and that
he had seea-them in schools a mile
long and a quarter of a mile wide,
and so thick there wasn't room for
them in the water, and they had to
leap out of it, and it was this leaping
and splashing that made the roaring
noise. He said that boatmen didn't
dare to cross their pathway when
they were on a scursion for so many
would jump into the boat that it
would sink it. "Waren't that before
the war?" said I. "Oh, no,"' said he,
"though I don't believe there are as
raanv now as there used to bo. for
when I first moved here, about ten
years ago. I saw women go down
and wade out a piece towards the
channel and let the mullet jump into
their aprons and petticoats. There's
a creek or bayou a few miles down
the coast where t"hcy run up some
times in high tide and when the tide
goes down they are left on the sandy
banks by the thousand and are haul
ed off by the wagon load for fertiliz
ing the orange groves and the gar
dens." How's that for fishing? The boys
have killed eight tarpons here in a
few weeks. They have to kill them
when found in their nets or they
would tear the net all to pieces.
They use a little harpoon that is
called a grain. It has a long pole in
the socket and a strong cord attach
ed and so when th
fish is struck the
pole bounces out of the socket and !
the fish is caught with the line. I
am just in my A B C's yet and haven't
fished any, but I am listening and
watching and in a day or two will
try my hand and. in course of time,
will be able to tell my yarn. The
little girl has a little spade and digs
in the sandy beach 'for fiddlers and
sand crabs and runs away from every
one she throws up. These people
seem to have more time to frolic than
to do anything else, but it beats
baseball or football and a frolic that
brings in fish and oysters and sun
burnt checks is a good thing. No
fear of perishing in this region with
fish at a cent apiece or cheaper still
if you are not too lazy to catch them,
and with oyster banks near by and
sweet potatoes for 10 cents a peck
and oranges and bananas for a des
sert. But all is not gold that glitters,
nor is there perfect serenity for any
good thing iu this world. Last even
ing we called on Mrs. Tate in her
beautiful home on the bluff, the most
charming of all the lovely residences 1 medicine almanac, where the mcr
that overlook the waters of the gulf. : chant pastes his ads. on tin cans and
I had known Colonel Samuel Tate, of j to get a large circulation, ties the
Memphis, in his life time, and was j
pleased to learn that his widow was 1
living here with her son. It seemed
to me that she had everything that
heart could wish. A gem of a house,
that was embowered in shade, flow
ers and fruits, and a fine orange
grove near by. After a brief visit
we took a sail across to the island
and on our return saw her sitting on
the veranda looking off dreamily upon
the waters. Soon we reached our
home and found tea was waiting for
us. While we were enjoying it and
telling of our evening's pleasure, we
heard the cry of fa-e that wild,
weird cry that always brings alarm
and breaks up everything in a little
town.
We hurried from the room to find
that Mrs. Tate's house was on fire,
and the flames were leaping from the
windows. Everybody ran who could
run, but it was too late, too late. A
whole ocean of water within a fewT
steps, but no way to use it and that
beautiful house with nearly all of its
furniture was burned to the ground
in an hour, and the trees that had
shaded it were charred and ruined.
It was the old story of a lamp, a cur
tain and a gentle breeze. The poor wo
man was led silently away, sobbing
her grief as she leaned upon the arm
of a friend. Somebody said that it
was a comfort to know that she was
able to lose it; but there are some
things about a home that when it is
destroyed can't be restored or replac
ed with money, and this was such a
case. Col. Tate was much beloved by
the people of this hamlet, for he had
done much for it.
I find that most of the wealthy
people herc arc Southerners. Mr.
Kerr and Mr. Phillips are from Win
chester, Ky. Colonel Frasjer is a
prominent lawyer of Memphis, and
his daughter, Mrs. Boyle, a well
known contributor to magazine liter
ature. With perhaps two excep
tions, the Northerners do not seem
to have found this place. The tide,
the swim has all been on the other
side the Atlantic coast and Indian
river. This little peninsula that ex
tends down to St. Petersburg was
almost unknown and inaccessible un
til the Orangebelt railroad was built
four years ago. It is a little narrow
gauge road that has had its troubles,
but is getting out of them and is fast
bringing this lovely gulf coast into
notice. I intend to see more of it
while in Florida. With good boued-and
lodging for $4 a week and boating
and fishing for nothing and fish sto
ries thrown in, I can afford to try it
a few weeks. Bill Arp.

She ascertained whither he had

He came to this county in Deep

back to Wentworth to answer a

He went away singing "the girl I

he faces State's prison he will sing
another tune. He will be indicted

I'ittsboro Kccord.
Merchandizing is not such a money
making business as some people
seem to think. The frequent fail
ures of merchants all over the coun
try is convincing proof, and this is
confirmed by the experience of the
Alliance stores. When the Alliance
was first organized, one of its prom
ised benefits was cheaper goods, and
quite a war was waged against mer-
chants and their alleged high prices
Accordingly it was determined to do
away with these "middle men" and
to save the profits made by them,
and thus Alliance stores sprung up
all over the country. In this county
several began business and for
awhile seemed to be doing well, but
one by one they quit business until
now there are only two in Chatham.
And this seems to have been the ex
perience of Alliance stores generally
in this State.
The latest failure is the Alliance
store at Durham. Ed. Headlight.

Finance and Trade.
Sjiecial Correspondence.
New York, Jan. 8, 1S94.
The new year has brought some
increase of hopefulness, but as yet
not much expansion of activity in
the business world. On the Stock
Exchange values have risen an aver
age of one dollar per share, and there
has been a moderate advance in
prices of cotton, grain and hog pro
ducts. Speculation has not been
greatly stimulated, however, by the
enormous accumulation of idle capi
tal and the low rates for money; and
in all branches of legitimate trade
current operations continue to re
flect immjcdiate requirements. Stocks
of manufactured goods in distribut
ers' hands are steadily decreasing, in
spite of the restriction of consump
tion by enforced economies resulting
from, the prolonged depression of
business.
This fact has already encouraged
partial resumptions of work in many
industries; and the further develop
ment of spring trade wants will pro
bably result in a gradual enlarge
ment of industrial output in the near
future. The recovery in manufac
tures and in general trade, however,
would be greatly facilitated by an
early settlement of the tariff ques
tion; and the business interests,
which are now groping in uncertain
ty as to the conditions which will
govern their future, imperatively de
mand prompt action by Congress.
Business failures in the United States,
and Canada during the last week ag
gregated 532, as against 403 for the
corresponding period last year.
Cotton prices have advanced I of a
cent per pound. The rise has been
the result of a quickening of specula
tive interest by the long-expected
falling off in receipts from the South.
The movement has continued to ex
ceed that of last season at the cor
responding period; but it has shown
considerable shrinkage as contrasted
with that of immediately preceding
weeks. The smaller shipments from
the interior have encouraged wider
acceptance of the theories that the
previous marketing of cotton had
been hastened by unfavorable finan
cial conditions and the needs of
planters; and that the movement
hereafter is likely to be more in har
monj' with the reports of a moderate
crop yield. Home spinners have
bought moderately, as a rule; but
while receipts in five days have been
72,000 bales less, exports in the same
time have been 52,000 bales larger
than they were during the corre
sponding period last week.
Speculation in wheat has broaden
ed slightly, and there has been a net
gain in prices for the week of 1 to 1J
cents per bushel. Weather condi
tions in the West have been favora
ble for the marketing of wheat; but
the movement has been unusuall'
light, and as exports have been of
good volume, the indications point
to some reduction in the accumula
tion of warehouse stocks. The belief
that stocks will now beg-in to run
down, and the cable reports of unus
ually rigorous weather in Europe,
which may have an injurious effect
upon next season's harvests, have
contributed to strengthen confidence
among holders of wheat, and to in
duce some covering of contracts by
speculators who have been "short"
of the market.
Corn prices have advanced J of a
cent, partly from sj'mpathy with the
strength in wheat. There has been
a good export demand for corn, and
shipments, which are now running
ahead of those of the corresponding
period last year, promise considera
ble further enlargement during the
present month. The Cincinnati
Price Current says that there are
indications that the offerings of com
are likely to be enlarged from the
falling off in the demand from West
ern feeders, whose necessities had
been covered by earlier purchases
Chicago prices of pork have advanc
ed 22 J cents per barrel; and the gen
eral range of values of pork products
has been well maintained, owing to
the continued moderate receipts of
hogs at Western packing centres,
and the light stocks of meat and lard
in all markets.
Trices of sugar have further de
clined I of a cent for raw and to I
of a cent for refined, and are now at
the lowest point on record. The de
pression is due to the increased Cuba
cron and the recent restriction of
trade in refined. The prices, how
ever, have stimulated a more active
demand from both jobbers and re
tailers. The iron trade continues
dull. .

A MIRACLE INDEED.
AN INTERESTING STORY TOLD RV
KADER CREECH OF MICRO.
A (ireat Sufferer For Years. Under
Constant Treatment by Physicians
Without Success. How He Was
Relieved.
One of the most resjH'cted citizens of
Johnston County, X. C, is Kader Creech
of Micro, where he has lived for a long
w hile. Mr. Creech's word is as i?ood as
his bond, so say W. Ii. Oliver, and li.
Crocker, Merchants of Pine I-vel, X.
C, and many others who know him
well.
Kader Creech has Itcen for years
past a great sufferer from a disease that
seemed to bailie the K-st medical talent,
and it has only Ix'en recently that he
has at all enjoyed life. Through the aid
of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Reme
dy, made at Rondout. X. Y.. a medicine
that is nowlx'ing prescrilx'd by the most
noted physicians everywhere for the
diseases for which it is prepared. Mr.
Creech liegan to improve, and with
hardly a spark of life left in him, Favor
ite Remedy built him right up.
Mr. Creech, in w riting to Dr. Kenne-.
dy of his case, says: " In the Fall of
lssji, I was taken down with a severe
pain in my back and hip. and remained
in that condition for over four months.
The physician who attended me, called
the disease Sciatica, up till the time my
hip began to break ami run. which con
tinued for about ten months, the sore
then healed, leaving the Uesh wasted
away, and my hip bone sticking out
against the skin. All this time 1 suffer
ed the most excruciating pain and was
reduced to a mere skeleton. One day
Mr. II. Ii. Pcarce, of Sehna. X. C, call
ed upon me and spoke so highly of your
preparation. Favorite Remedy. I pn
cured it and commenced to take it. I
must say I had little hopes of ever get
ting better, for I could not raise my head
off i,iy pillow.
After using Favorite Remedy about
twenty days, I discovered I was gaining
in strength, and was able to sit up nearly
a half a day tit a time, 1 finally improved
so 1 could go about on crutches, and feel
that Favorite Reniiily will iM-rmanently
cure me. The great good it has done
me (a hopeless ease it seemed ) has gained
for this valuable medicine a powerful
reputation." Yours truly.

Appended to Mr. Creech's letter is the

the above statement is true.

The above statement, coining from
such a reliable source, lead us to inquire,
a little further about this remarkable
medicine, and we found that Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was in no
sense a patent medicine, as many sup
pose, but is the result of the patient toil
and experiment of David Kennedy, M.
I)., of Rondout, N. Y.. w ho was a mem
ber of the Electoral College of New
York State, which cast their vote for
President ('rover Cleveland. Dr. Ken
nedy has recently Im-cii re-elected Mayor
of the City of Kingston, (Rondout), X.
Y., where he resides and prepares his
medicine.
In sjK'aking of Dr. Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy, one of our physicians says:
"It ranks with the medical profession
as the most perfect of all blood and
nerve medicines. It will cure all dis
eases of the skin, liver and kidneys. It
restores the liver to a healthy condition,
and effectually cures the worst cases of
habitual constipation. It is a certain
cure for all diseases and weaknesses pe
culiar to females, and affords great pro
tection from attacks that originate in
change of life. It cures scrofula, tetter,
salt rheum, boils, scald head, ulcers, tu
mors, rheumatism, dyspepsia, all kid
ney, I (ladder and urinary diseases, grav
el, diabetis and Rright's Disease.
In this last disease it has made many
cures where all else has failed. Evi
dences of its great curative power are
daily brought to the notice of physic
ians, from private and hospital practice,
where it has entirely supplanted the old
time methods in the treatment of the
alxive mentioned diseases. It is also
particularly effective in all rases arising
from mental worry or over-work, ner
vousness, or loss of sleep."
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Reme
dy is for sale bv all dealers in medicine
at $1 a bottle, or six lnittles for fc. Full
directions accompany each bottle, so
that any one can readily understand just
how to take it for the different com
plaints. f

Mr. C. E. Ilartholomew, Kalkaska,

live, that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy saved my life when I was a vic
tim of l'right's disease." If vou are
suffering from liright's disease, diabetes,
or any urinary trouble, you should use
this only cure.
'T had leen troubled since 1K(J'J,"
writes S. X. Arnold, of Rochester, X.Y.,
"with gravel and catarrh of the bladder.
Tricjl several doctors, but got no relief.
Upon advice, I ummI Dr. David Kenne

marvelous; a few bottles entirely cured
me." t
