N. Hackett in bin stead, and his speech, was indeed a treat. For nearly two hours he held his large ,flndience almost spelNboand with his logical arguments and flights of oratory. Hp ppoke in the highest terms of some of our Republican can didates, peisonallv. but the way he sailed into their poli cieR was indeed pleasing to his Democratic hearers. He discussed Theodore and his '.administration a t length, showing up his extravagance nnd other shcrt comings. He defended the State adminis tration against the attacks bping made upon it, by the Republicans, who charge it, with all kinds of extrava gance. He showed clearly by statistics that Wa'auga conn , ty received last year out of the State Treasury nearly twice as much as" she paid in; that all the increase of taxes , under the Aycoekadminitra tion"was for the benefit of the old sojdiers; the schools and other institutions of the State. He paid his respects to Mr Blackburn, saying he was a clever gentleman, and he liked him, but gave his Crumpacker and other wild ideas a heavy scourging. It is impossible to'sny more, as space forbids, T h e people here are more than pleased . with his masterly efforts of this gifted young North Car olinian, and are satisfied that thev will bear fruit in the coming election. His force of argument, his cleanli ness of speech, his great ora tory and the nice way in which be handles men and measures are sure to be heard 'from. The opinion of all demo ciats is that the convention on last Srtturdaj acted with great (judgment in noraina ting that good raan.andhon ored citizen, Winfleld Scott Farthing, to represent us in the next General Assembly of North Carolina, He is a ma of high moral character; of fine intellect and is possessed of all the qualifications that are necessary in the make up i - a pare, ; temperate, chris tian gentleman. He comes be fore tuo people with no past record t o defend w i t h n i d a rk ... spots toerare from the char actei he formed in boyhood and has fostered until Time has covered his head with the "bnows that never melt." He is, nnd has ever been a total abstainer from .intoxWints and, though we have not neard him express himself on the subject, we know tbat he may be depended upon to be in the thickest of thefightfor temperance legislation. Sach a man is our candidate for the Leuislature; he asks for, and deserves the hearty sup sport of all our people, and it now seems that ho will get a good majority of all the votes cast in the November election . . Our 'ticket, county, state and natiotal, is now in the field, and the campaign is on in dead earnest. . ft now be hooves every demorrat in this broad land to benp and doing for the success of the party he holds so dear. Tb battle will be n fierce one. We will have to fight the money p.)wer in the nation, the most formidable foe that pv- er confronted mankind in o- pen warfare. But the race.Je not always to the fleetnor the battle to the strong. We are on the side of right, and with nn united democracy, presenting a solid Iront to the enemy, there is no reason why we should not be success ful in the November election Read and thiok for. your selves; bank on your own judgment, pay no attention to the scheming politician, who would seek to drag you down by setting a price on your ballot, the true Amen can's richest heritage. Stand to your principles, fight for your convictions, and after the election you will be con scious of duty well done. Let us be up and doing. While the armies in the East have been oinc ho much to attract the atten tion cf the public, the.navif s what there is left of them, have thoughtfully refrained from doing anything particn larly startling. This is as it 6hould be. Nothing is more distracting than to have to watch an irreHistibly fascina ting circutf performance go ing on in, two separate rings simultaneously. Boston Her uldr- OASTOnEA.

"Men of oak" are men in rugged health, men whose bodies are made of the sound est materials. Childhood is the time to lay the foundation for a sturdy con stitution that will last for years.

VVebSiird the steamer 'Ca terskill Ht Hudson dock" for New, York City, n distance of 114 miles. We boy ouk tick eta with sleeping a com mod a tions two bunks, one for the writer the other for his com panion, Tin 15 after 6 We take our Beats on the up per forward deck. The Sun is just Betting behind the Catskills. The riffl-s on the river seem to catch the last rays o f the setting Sun Some bind genius has brush" ed back the evening clouds. Our first atop is at Catskill dock. Here she takes on 300 bbls. of npplefe, berry crates, horse sand wagons, trunks, and valises. ,Ve now retire to our berths and the rock of the side whenl soon lulls us to sleep. Morning comes, bright and crisp. We are now in New York City refreshed by pleasant dreams. VWe make our way down West street, pass the many steam boat lines at the river front, and on to Brooklyn bridge. Here .is the liveliest seen yet one continual line of march back and forth from N. Y. to Brooklyn. ' About 500 people prs pv cry minute and th elevated rail-road skirts each side, ev ery two minutes a train pass es, loaded to the utmost with human beings. The steps of the elevated stairways are stripped with steel. Wooden steps would not last all day if put in new in the.morning. This great structure is VL miles long and 85 feet wide 135 feet above the wbter, Thirteen yeurs was required to build this bridge during which time the inventor and engineerdied.bat was com pleted by his wife and son at a cost of SI6.000.000. , At the west end of the bridgp stands the towering World building which was once the loftiest structure in the city, but she can no longer plume her laurels as various other structures shoot their spires nkjward toward the ether till almost lost to view We now take 6 ave. eleva ted car for CentralPark. The great city resort. It is here where millionaires resort when weary from counting their gold. It is; here where the tired city tradesmen gets a breath of counrry air. It in here where the lover steals a kissfrotn his betrothed withoutu thousand others seeing him. Here no guide is wanted, the very genius of the place which has beenjeft as wild as nosiblek whose paths wind in and out most confusingly or come to a sud den halt against the rocksor lake shore is to wander with out metnod or care till yon are rested from the formality and 'crowd of the city. So near yet so far you find rus tic cabins set on lofty points of lock. Narrow gorges hnng with blossoming vines. Splashing water falls, a gloo my cave thickets, flowers, birds, woodland sights .and sounds. Long rows of elms i n partlel rows between which are asphalt walks lead MERCHANT AliDTRADER'S BANK MOUNTAIN CITY, TENNESSEE. - AUTIIOIUZE D CAPITA L $50,000.00. OFFICER J.
