The Wataasa Democrat 1 bandar July, Ho, 1803 Our Blowing Rock rorres rtnnriAnf Civ in. mils our at tention to our position on the silver question; and asks qb to expluin We judge that our intelligent correpondent is a Cleveland and, Carlisle Kold bug, but he is not to be hung for it, for there - are a great many able men who advocate gold against silver as the standard money. V desire to ask Civis, the ques tion why not -Congress re store silver coinage to if former position with gold as it was before 1873? if the re publican Congress had power to destroy silver coinage in 1873, would not Congress have power to restore silver coinage in 1805-6 7 Silver stood side by side with gold os.redemtion money before the at of 1873. By that act ft lost its power as redemp tion money equal with gold. Now gold has all the burden as to redemption or primary money, and there is not en ough of 'it witli which to do our business. We believethat ffsilverwas restored to its former coinage it would be a ble to take rare" of its self along with gold at the old ra tio 16 to 1. But we are told by Civisthatsilver ianow on ly worth 32 to 1 . If so. here lies the great wrong emina ting from the republican Con gres8ofl873. (Jive nil ver a chance to do its full duty again. It has never failed the people since the woill commerced its use until it was crippled and maimerpind the life almost crushed out of ft by 'honest' JohnJSherman and bis radical Congress in 1873 We do not believethat unlimited coinage would be necessary, but we think it should be regulated in its coinageas the occasion oe rhands. and rescrictel to our own production if necessary, but both gold and silver should be coined free and at the old ratio 16 to 1. This is, in short, our silver idea, and unless we are otherwise convince that we are wrong, we shall stick to it, but if we are wrong, we wil! change, as we wish to be right. We do not desire to kick those who are opposed to our views, for we take it that none of uk know too ninch about this vexed question. Why should the democrats get up. their barks and call each other hard names because there is an honest difference oi opin ion? And now some astronomer nt Washington hasannoimc ed that he has found on our sister planet, Mars, Hebrew letters for the Hebrew word God. We are inclined to be lieve a remark a friend once made to us: "I don't believe what these oslonishers say, no how " A horse kicked H. fc5. Sha fer, of Freemyer House, Mid dlebjrg, N. Y., on thd knee, which laid him up in bed and caused the knee joint to be comestiff. A friend recommen Jed him to use Chamberlains 'Pain Balm, wtmh he did, and in two days wasable to be a round. Mr, Shafer recommen ded it. to others and says it is excellent for any kind of bruise or sprain. The same remedy is also famous for its cures of rheumatism. Forsale by all druggists. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. A Word to the Young Hen, Edit or Di mocrat: V If it will not abuse your pa tienee and intrude too much upon your pace, 1 would like to say a wora to the young men of Watauga. What I wish to say is not from long experience or hear- pay, but from a scanty obser vat.ion. Located as we are in this . mountain county, where the breezes are abun dant, the air pnre and bra cing, th4 water clear and sweet, and the natural sur roundings so very favtrable for happiness and longevity, we should be grateful to our God for our existence and the ii.nny blessings that- have been handed dojvn from His bounteoushand. This being trne, it behooves us to make the most of our lives, and it is onr imperative duty to do all the good we can in this fleeting life. To reach the highest excellence we must lay a broad foil ndj tion, or the edifice we erect will soon totter and fall. In my opin ion the best and safest foun dation p to become a Chris tian and Uvea pious, godly life. Our influence will then be for good, and our lives will be a blessing to the rising generation. A young man fa t he prime of life with an exemplary character, leading the ray wurd people in the paths of righteousness and peace is a verj high specimen of human ity. After laying the founda tion, we must put up our bail ding. Suppose we hae edu cation for our, corner stone, for upon this depends the fu ture prosperity and happi ness of our jieopK A young man without knowledge and a diciplined mind, will' work against many odds in t h e coming years, out an edu cation is in the reach of ev er y energetic, tiiougntMil young man. In whatever fiel'J you work, wherever youi lot is cast, you should be in telligent. The day has pass ed where a mere idep of "fig ures' should complete vour education. A scholar must know language, history, liter ature, science, and should have 6tudied the Bible care fully. We 'must study astron omy that we may learn the worlds above us. Weshould read botany to be able to see and enjoj the many beauties arouud in. We must , not be ignora at of geology that we may know of the earth be low u. Young man, don't fail to get an education. It will aid you in almost every shade of life,- Going to the second corner can we find a more suitable material than character? Every young person, as well as the older ones, need a high moral character. It is coinmendable-.under all cir cumstances, for a man of in fluence to live a pure life; his steps should be carefully made; he should have an irre proachable reputation, and he mast stand firm on what he believe 8 to be right and iust, even if popular tide be ngainr him. If you grow in knowledge until yon .become a sage and a philosopher, unless you ha ve a good name youc-good influence will be scanty. Many a good man has failed in life because he was found drunk, or un thoughtedly found in bad company. . In fact, our com pany is a good index to onr lives and characters. We are not prone to seek the friend' 8'iip of those whose lives and dispositions are not conjoi nt to ours. We are no better than the company we keep. How woull determination no for the third corner? Is it not very essential to suc cess ? Unless we are detef mined to succeed, failure is almost sur. One of the great est. hindrances ot the mod ern a ge is the laek of dt ter mination, Physiology teach ea us that smoking, rhewing, and dram drinking, together with late hours, retard tha will power.nnd destroy man hood. All these nuisances can well he spared. It takesgreat forces to destroy the will power, but when once lost it is very hard indeed to regain. Protect your body, think pure thoughts, rend good lit erntnre, sleep eight" hours at night and note the effect. Oar last corner should be mad'1 of stiekabilily to hold the building together. He very slow to tak- the advice of those who h.iye smnnlly failed in the world.' Ourgiea test trouble is onr fickleness Jumping' from '.one extreme to another has been the ruin of many a youth, with good hopes and tine prospects in the world. Many farmers fail because they imagine that th.v could rise t3 eminence as lawyers. The merchant becomes dis satisfied because he dreams that, his w rk h unpleasant, dealing with so many people. Te teacher soon becomes old because he foolishly thinks that of all people his work is the hardest. Many prosei- ous people have ruined them selves by leaving iheeountry and eoi'ig to tl.e town or city, hoping of course, that ma tiy I lessings a wai ted t hem In every branch of industry unrest and uneasiness have ma rked diseon ten t men t , and failure. ''Keep your shop and your shop will keep you," is an old adage, bit is as true as it is old. Almost anv pur suit, well followed, will bring a living, and many times a profit if industriously follow od. Be contented with little things at the start. Do your work well, and you aire then fast proving yourself worthy1 of greater things and higher honors. For our covering let us use various articles Honesty should be stamped indelibly in the life of every one.

When 97 years of age, my eyes became strangely affected. I could not read after sunset, and when I would flow my eyes, could not open them; but on wuloherer side I lay, on that side I could open my eye. This condition continued about two years, and was succeeded by An Intolerable Itching tl oTer my body and limbs. I had to hare my little boys take shoe brushes aud scratch me. It was dreadful It continued a month and was followed Immediately by a tumor In the right side of myjteck, as large as a small egg. I at once eommeuced taking physicians' prescrip tions and continued till I Wit hope. In the mean time the tumor changed lu place to the Imme diate front of my neck, suppurated and was fol lowed by others, till six had formed and broken. "Finally, three years ago, another larce tu mor seats:! Itself on the point of my collar bone nd In six months another hnlf way back on the bone. Both of them soon begun to discharge and continued to do no till almut sdtoii months ana 1 tried eTerytliing, including prescriptions. 1 was ofteu so weak that I Could Scarcely Walk nd my mind was so confused that I could scarcely attend to my bunlness (school teach. IngV I wa utterly discouraged. And now my story draws to a close. I began the use ol Hood's'Cures Hood's Sarsaparllla little less than year ago, and took Ave bottles.
