THE GREATEST EVENT IN THE HIS TORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. For weeks past the people of Wash ington county had been making rea . dy for the 4th of July on which day it was proposed to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the county. The great day arrived and before the first rays of dawn people could be seen journeying toward Roper. They came on trains, boats, carriages buggies, farm-wagons, carts, they came on horse back, on wheels and on foot. The day began clear and warm, but ereold Sol had reached the zenith lowering clouds scudded across the heavens and rain began to fall which ' cast a gloom over the assembly, then estimated at between four and five thousand souls, but thanks to the , gentle Southern breeze, the rain soon passed away and the people celebra ted as they never did before. The program began at 10:30 at Roper where a military parade was formed composed of the home guard and visiting companies led by the E. City band. They marched to the . beautiful grote of Mr. Jas. Gaylord near town. After music by the band and song by the choir, Senator H. S. Ward at tempted to delived the introductory adefress but was prevented by the rain, the next speaker was Thos. W. Blount, Esq., who had prepared a paper on the history of the county, which we dare say was a most inter esting one, but owing to the rain he had to close. DINNER IN ABUNDANCE. A dinner fit for the gods had been spread and to the festive board the people were invited, but here too the rain had interfeared, still the multi tude did ample justice to this part of the program there was enough . and to spare. THE AFTERNOON" PROGRAM was carried out under more favora , ble circumstances, though to the re gret of all there was some conflict in the arrangements which devided the attention of the people. There were three other speakers for the occasion, Capt. J. H. Picott, Col. W. F. Beas ley and F. A. Boyle, Esq., owing to the lack of time the two former gerT tlemen withdrew and Mr. Boyle delivered at a disadvantage, an able and entertaining address on "The Old Times and New." The soldier poys two companies oi-Mie 1st Batllion of the 2nd Regi ment, tiuucv command of Maj. Bond and etalf, gave the people an exhibi tion of military tactics, the battle charge, rappid firing, etc., and the Afternoon passed swiftly by bringing tco early to a close the memorable day. It was indeed a.happy eyent. Neighbor met neighbor in a neigh borly way, and comingled together in social merirhent thus strengthening the bonds; that 'bind one to the other in the sacred embrace of brotherly love and frie'ndslnp. TFormer Wash ingtonians returned' atter years of absences to view'agaiu the scenes of earlier life tnd revive the acquain tances of other days and to them was ., 1J 1 if i muuuiuuu a nappy greeting ana un limited welcome. Stranger came to meet stranger and prt T as friends. The bonds of society, wealth, honor position were, for the time baing at least, burst asunder and one and all stood upon one common plain sons and daughters of old Washington county by birth, adoption or blessed ancestral heritage. A pleasant surprise was added to the occasion when our big-hearted and patriotic county-man, Col. Wm. F. Beasley, presented with his com pliments thousands of neatly design ed souvenir fans. THE BALL AND RECEPTION. At 9 o'cl'ob'k , Blount's Hall was filled to oversowing with gallant beaux and female loveliness who had assembled to spend d few hours in tripping the light fantastic and at 0:15 the sweet strains bf the violins filled the room and the dance began with the grand march led by Chief-Marshal-of-thVday, Mr. Louis P. Hornthal and Mrs. L. L. Owens and the dance continued until 11 o'clock when refreshments were served in abundance, then the danceing was resumed and continued until the wee sma hours. Music was rendered by Gay lord's string band relieved at intrivals by the cornet band. That the Centennial was a big success goes without saying and we do not deem it proper to credit its success to any one individual as the majority of the people gave it their support. This event brought together the largest number of people that ever assembled in this county. They came together to spend a day in soci al intercourse and goodwill and their mission could not have been more perfectly fulfilled. WHAT THE MORTGAGE IS. Selected. The mortgage is U self-supporting insti tution. It always holds its own. It calls ilbr just as rnany dollars when things are dear as when they are cheap. It is not affected fey the drought or by hard limes. It is not drowned by the heavy rains. Late spring and early frosts never trouble it at ail. Potato bugs do not disturb it. Moth and rust do not destroy it. It grows nights, Sundays, rainy days and holidays. It brings a sure crop every year and sometimes twice a year. It produces each and every time. It does not have to wait for the market to advance. It is not subject speculations of the balls and beats on the trade. Strikes don't bother it. It is a burden that few can shake off. It is a load that galls and frets and chafes It is with him morning, noon and night, You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience ? with other so-called "just as S good preparations, you 0 will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are j combined with the cod-liver oil givz additional vafue to it because they tone up the nervous system ( & ar.d impart strength to the whole . body. W Soc. and f i.oo. all riruecists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Clxmisu, New York. It gets under his pillow when he sleeps It rides upon his shoulders during the day. It consumes his produot. It selects the finest homes and the fatest steers of the farmers. , It lives upon the finest fruit of the season It walks into the dairy and takes the nicest cheese and choicest batter. It shears the children's bread and robs them of their clothes. It stoops the toiler's back with its re morseless burden of care. It is the exorable exacting task master. Its whip id as merciless and cruel as the lash of the slave driver. It is a menace to liberty, a hindrance to progress, and a curse to the world. It never dies of its own accord. It lives even after you are dead. It hardens the hands, benumbs his intel lect, prematurely whitens bis locks and of tentimes sends him and his aged wife oyer the hills to the poorhouse or to an earlv grave, A mortgage is a deatbgrip on man's throat and will in time choke its slave to death, or at all 6vents shorten his life by care.
