J UDGp WOM ACK AT HOME.
VV e were present at1. Chuthlaita
Court last week, and from what we
saw and heard, we found -that the
people of Chatham are proud of their
fellow citizen, Judge Woniack, and
justly so. ' , 1
The Chatham Record in its issue
of the 8th inst, sayi: . . : v
"Judge Woinack has made a most
favorable impression oa. all. 'who
have attended court. He dispatch
es business' promptly and expediti
ously, and yet with no unseemly
haste. His manner is dignified, and
yet courteous and affable. His rul
ings are promptly made, and he
tempers justice with mercy.' His
friends are therefore, of course,
much (ratified at the creditable
manner with which he wears the
judicial ermine."
A It was exprcted of Judge Womack
that he would make a good Judge.
He was known to tnose among whom
he was reared as possessed of the
finest business qualities ; a good U
yer, and an upright christian gentle
mnn. iunog uib louruen years 01
r-. T r r
practice at the bar he bad been, so
successful that he lead all others in
bis prolcspion in his county, ia point
cf business. But nevertheless the
ability with which he preiided even
surpassed tbe expectations of his
fnendi. During the term of court
the criminal docket numbered one
hundred ane sixteen canes. Between
seve ntyfive and eighty of these were
disposed of, leaving for his successor
on'y thirty nine casts on the docket,
in place ot tbe ninety two which
greeted him on his arrival. Thirteen
cases were finally disposed of on the
civil issue docket, and eight of fbese
were Jry trials. We have rarely
ever seen moe and better work done
by any judge in one wtelc.
The only r.gret we heard expressed
at Judge Womack'a being on tbe
Beiich was that the people of the
county could not send him to repre
seut thia senatorial district in the
next General Assembly. The record
that be made in the Legislature ot
1883 upon Railroad commisiiou bills
is highly pleasing to the farmers,
and alter the failure of tbe last sen
ate to represent their wishes, they
had intended, as we learn to again
avail themselves ot the services of
Mr. Womack, who when in the Senate
stood with taut farmer's friend, Mri
Alexander. '
Again it is s-id that be taa never
been tbe Attorney of a Railroad or
any other big corporation, and so 'U
untrammelled and unbiased In bis
notions.
We are satisfied that when the
people of the Distrjct aee him in the
peit'urmance of hie duties they will
be convinced tbat no mistake bas
been made in appointing him a Judge.
tiie learning in the law, bis wonder
ful business tact, bis nrbamty, his
impartiality, hU firmness all qualify
him in an eminent degree for tbe
position he holds. Judge Womack
has never been found wanting in any
position be has ever held, although
be has oten compelled to supply to
bard study, the acquirements whicl
others have attained by a collegiate
education. From its creation to the
time of his election to the Leglsla
turein 18S3 he held the office of
Solicitor of the Inferior Court for the
County of Chatham. ,
la the two Lertslftlive aesaions pi
183 ai d 1887 his work for the party
and the people ia a matter of State
renuiation.
f here are persons m every county
in the State who know and caa tes'
tif'v tOf his sterhmr worth. - . .
Judge Womack has been tried and
gives every indication of being one
of tbe best Judges in the State.

A Genuine Love Story.
" ' ObrlitiM Kepotltory
TEis story was originally told by
Sp'orgeouf
A young clergeman and bis bride
invited guests at a large parly given
by a wealthy parishioner. In all the
freshness and elegance of the bridal
wardrobe, the' young .wife shone
among the' throng, distinguished by
attire, and when, during the evening,
ber young husband drew her aside
and whispered to ber that she, was
the most beautiful women in all the
company, and that his heart was
bursting with pride and love tor ber,
she thought herself the happiest wife
in tne world. '
Ten years later the same husband
and wife were guests at the same
house, where there gathered a simi
lar gay company. The wife of ten
years ago wore the same dress she
bad worn on tbe previous occasion,
and, of course, it had been altered
and remade, and was old-f shioned
and almost shabby. Toil and care
and motherhood had taken the roses
out of her cheeks and the lithe spring
out of her form. She sat apart from
the crowd careworn) and preoccupied.
Her small hands, roughened with
coarse toil, were ' ungloved, for tbe
minister's salary was painfully small.
A little apart the ten year husband
stood ard lookei at his wife, and ts
he observed her faded dress and
weary attitude a great, sense of all
ber loving ja.tutuloess came over bis
heart Looking bp, she caught bis
earnest 'gaze; -and noticed that his
eyes were filled-with tears. She ton
and. went to him ; her questioning
eyes mutely asked for an explanation
of bia emotion; and when he tender
y took her hand, laid it on his arm,
ed her away from the crowd and
told her how he had been thinking
of her as she looked ten years before,
when she was a bride, and how much
more precious ahe was to him now,
abd how much more beautiful, for all
her shabby dress and roughened
hands, and how he appreciated all
her sacrifices and patient toil for him
and their children, a great wave of
appmesa filled her heart, and light
shone in her face so that it gave
more than youthful beauty, and In
all the company there was not so
appy a couple as this husband and
wife, their hearts and faces aglow
from the Aiming up of pure senti
ment that transfigured and ennobled
and glorified all the toils and priva
tions they had endured. -
The Lee Unveiling.

The unveiling of the large equestri

occasion of more than ordinary in
tcreat.
When the statue bas been placed
in its position and the drapery with
drawn from around it, it will stand
forth as the embodiment of tbe great
love and 'respect which tbe people of
Virginia reel lor te s memory.
It 'is but. natural that the south
should love Lee, end most fitting that
a statue to his memory should be
erected fn the 'capital of the state
which' be loved so well.
General Lee, it is no exaggeration
to say, "was tie incarnation of the
highest integrity, tbe noblest virtues
andthettoet exalted courage.' No

The Boy Was Tall,

The air gun, whicb is seemingly
considered such a harmless toy br
many Williamsport parents that they
bave tour or hve in the family to
keep the children from growing rest
less, was at work again yesterday,
and sent a ball from itself through a
board, and from there into the limb
of a boy who was opposite the one
who had the gun. Fortunately the
boy who stood in front of the gun
was tall and the ball missed his bead.
Oa this account, and not because tbe
gun is a bad one, the boy is alive.
An KsKay on Editors.
WiUunupott BrMkfiut Tbl
An editor is a man. He can bear
more ridicule than any other man,
alive or dead, and they never die in
a lunatic asylum. They often die
in poverty as well as in lail. There
are many kinds of editors rich,
poor, handsome, homely, good, bad,
shrewd, ignorant, civilized, semi,
civilized, barbaric, lying, snake, city,
managing, telegraphi, financial and
many other kinds. Then there is
the 'fighting editor. Many good
citizens go to htm to have their hair
combed. They generally get it and
then sue the editor for libel and
pay the costs.
A GOOD DAY FOR LIONS.
A Man Shoots One and Thirteen
suddenly Appear.
Sow York 8oai
Mountain lions, or cougars, have
been unusually numerous and audaa
cious in California this spring. Thev
bave killed fifteen colts for John F.
Cuddy on Frsxer Fountain and have
been seen prowling about on the out
skirts of the snaller towns, raiding
sheep pens and chicken roosts ana
;t OTta
picKing op stray cars. in cnaia
bills b.ick of Santa Paula always
bave afforded safe retreats for thsse
beasts, being very rough and broken
and full of small caves. Irvine
oulks was up there two weeks ago.
and came back without any eouesr
pelts. But he brought back stones
about tbe number of mountain
ions prowling through ths chalk
hills that made old hunters wag their
beads and insinuate that he was get
uug coxijr iuiu vue won 01 ipinning
yarns, a habit that was to be toler
ated only ia men of years and ex
periencc. Foulks said he saw so
many lions that be was afraid to fire
at them, whereupon old Jake Gries
snorted contemptuously and asked to
be piloted to a place where varnuats
were thick enough to scare him.
louusand the old nan went un
there the other day, and for once ia
his life Jake saw MvanmntsN enough
to satisfy him. They got into the
ruggedest part of the hills and sat
down to watch for game. Presently
a lioness appeared less than a hun
dred yards away, and Jaks shot her
tbrougu the body. Uf course she
yelled as soon as she was hit, and be.
fore tbe echoes of tbe rifle shot had
time to get back across the canyon
old Jake Gries was sorry hs had fired.
Liom started into view so sodden
ly and plentifully that it seemed as
though there must have been a lion
lying behind every rock oa the hill
tide. Jake threw antther cartridge
into the barrel of his ride, and raised
tbe piece to take aim, but put it
down sgain slowly and remarked
that be would be everlastingly con
demned. Then he suggested to
Foulks tbat it was no use for a mas
to be a cbump, and tbat perhaps they
had better go h ;uie if the lions would
let'em. They retreated cautiously,
snd managed to get out of the hills
without being attacked. Jake deo
dar ei that he eouted thirteen moun
tain lions in that crowd of "varmints,"
and nobody doubts his word.
