The past few days of pleasant ing weather, nave aiven inspir ing impulse to our vicinity, ine bloom ofprchards and putting forth leavesof forest and green hue of grain fields and meadows and lawns are realities of delight and enjoyment while it is quite amusing to see the low hollows and along the branch platta decked with snow white plant-bed cover ings. These evince the setting but of a fair crop of tobacco. Wheat crops look prospectively good, and farmers delayed by the late closing out of winter weather, are actively seeding oats, and it seems at this time that Providence forecasts for our country an abundant harvest. Indeed Providence will ever do it- part. Let everybody get right and do right, and all will be well, and prosperity and enjoyment will return to our country again. In deed we nave croakers and as a class, they may be denominated lshmaehtes. They do nothing for the country morally, nor for any body, but prejudice their friends against every one, so to speak, and of course, as ' right and wrong are antagonistic, comparatively every man's hand is against them. The best code of laws that could he made can not make good times, unless the people virtually keep them, and enforce them, and vice versa. It has never occured to the mind of these croakers what would satisfy them. They can't tell what are the principles of the party they so vociferously would represent. The mercantile business of Mt. Nebo. that once flourished in the days of B. C and J. H. Myers, gradually receded under the efforts of others, fill we were left without any store at this place, to the great inconvenience of our people. Re cently Mr. Millander has located with us, and opened a full stock of goods, best in quality, at bottom prices, and Mr. Millander enioys service the best interest of the country. Saturday March 3Utn, was an enjoyable occasion with Mrs. Sarah A. Wordan, of this place, together with her relatives, neighbors and many friends, it being her 7th birthday celebration. From the large concourse of people, she re ceived many valuable presents. and all were tendered a bountiful feast of good things. A SUBSCRIBER Mt. Nebo, N. C, April 3d. 25,000 Fislila Two. Haul.

When the, great ijaajority lived in villages and werejehgaged in the cultivation of the soil early rising may have been conducive to health and -wealth, if not to! wisdom, but even our early forefathers proba bly did 110 more than make a 'vir- tue of necessity. Itj s said to be natural that is. physiological tb rise earlv and eniov Uhe beauties of the sun rise; if w ask why we 21 j are treated to Various! transcenden 1 1 taL theories about tbejvirifjring in- 50 fluence of the sun, arid are told to 1 ) take example by the bird of the air and tne beasts of. the beld, or so many of them as I are not rjoc turual in their habits. But, as a matter of fact, physiology so far as it has anything tq aay on the subject at all. is alll against the early rising theory. ! physiological experiment appears to show that a man doea not work 1 best and fast- jest in the early morning hours, but on the contrary, about raidday. The desire to rise early except in those trained from j youth to out door pursuits iscomfnouly a sign, not of strength of jcharacter ; and Vigor of body, but j advancing age. The very old often sleep much, but they do hbt sleep long. A long deep sleep, ! ;he sleep of youth, requires for jits production a thoroughly elastic "vascular sys tem. The stiffening k-epsels of agrj are not so completely nor so easily controlled by the vasomotor nerves. Hence shorter sleeps.) Thus pater familiai", who goes to bed at 1 1 p. m , wants to get up at 5 or 6 a. m., and looks .upon his healtly son, who prefers to lie tilt 8, as' a slug gard. When this fc(lish interpre tation ofa proverb abcuti the health and Wealth to be got from early rising is combined with the still more foolish; adage which says of sleep, '"Six hohrsjor a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool," then we have a vicious -system capable of working great mis chief to young peoplejof both sexes. There is a tendency1,, greatly en couraged in towns bj! lhepreail of cycling, to curtail! unduly the housr of slfeep. Partiei of yougn e 1 ana lads ar to he about th stret-ts met careering at midnight. They would be far better They have probably to be in Ufd. in theit or tven offices or shops by 9 'a. m eaflier, and when tinie is deduictedj for supper, toilet, lireakfast, 'and the journey to the place of busi ness, it is evident flat the hours for sleep cannot exceed six. or at most seven. Thesei young men are no doubt encouraged by the silly adage quoted above. There is a disposition fcv-M .Uu - do outdoor exerciees;; the cycling club "night spins'Mare instances in point- As Nordau has said with a great deal .of triith, the town dweller, of these last! decades of the nineteenth century suffers from nervous fatigue, and is so ill-advised to make bis ie&y recreations sources, not of recu iteration, but of increased exhaustion. If our fore fathers wereearly rsers they went alsoearly toj bed. Iti would bo well for the rising generation if it paid more heed to this pirt of the pro verb. British Musical Jtournal.

Representative Dalzell, of Penn sylvania;, is another Republican who declares his colleagues will make no attempt in the Fifty fourth iCongress to bring about any distinctively partisan legisla tion. He says that the best thing for the Houae to do well be to pass the necessary routine bills and then go borne. From present indi cations he is inclined to lelieve that the; long session may end in April ori May. That would be an earlier adjournment than has come in manjf years, and is hardly likely tq be had in 1896, but the general opinions; among Republican Con gressmen, that but little will prob ably be done beyond passing the appropriation hills, which the Pennsylvania statesman. expresses, is of sortie significance. Dalzell is anjintinlate friend of Thomas B. Reed, who will be Speaker, and in these expressions be very likely sets forth Reed's feelings and pur poses, I Thog who have been looking for a re-opening of the tariff and fi nance qjuestionsin the Fifty-fourth Congress will be disappointed. No disturbance from either of those issues will be inflicted on the coun try in he next two years. The overwhelming Republican majori ty in the House, which will be un der thejdirection of Speaker Heed, wil stand as a barrier against all harmful agitation of those ques tions, jjlu the Senate, of course, the Republicans may not be in un disputed control, but the finanial tkikerifig which that body may favor ckn not hurt anything, be cause if wi!ll be killed in the House if it Reaches that branch.

Moreover, they are awarelof the limitations and re strictions which the control of the Government by the Democracy imposes. A Republican tan tl bill would? have ho chance of noeiving the I'sident's signature, and prob ably & could not pass the Senate, although two or three men in that body 3 who are called Popahsts 6ccupy Republican ground on that is6ue.

Thomas Causfcy, who was raised pp inj the Jamestown section, was to have been married last night, but he didn't make the trip.

And it ; s well he did, for the "cops" were watching the premises ot the bride-to-be ready to nab him. Il is said that CaUsey, as far back as ten years ago, forged the name of James Callum, agent at Hih Pointto a note for $200 and got; the money, but the matter was corjipromised in some way on account of his family. Since that he worked thq same racket on Jw - Van Liudley and others, but for smaller amounts. Greensboro Record, 4th inst, -Lr ome Old Corn. Mr. Jno. C.

Recent earthquakes have attract ed the attention of M. Mennier, the well-known geologibi, who has made experiments as to the carae of earthquakes in general, and act ually experienced one at Nice, He declares that in spite of. Hum boldt's and other fine descriptions nothing short of an apprenticeship in earthquakes will enable a man to encounter one without f motion. At first vague rumbling are heard, then distinct noises under the ground, which culminate in a series of irrpgular and indt finite shocks. At Nice only three shocks, running were felt, but in Atlanta, in Greece, lately, as many as three hundred and sixty-five shocks oc curred one day. Earthquakes' are not isolated, phsnomsna, bt tssesoUsa, as a rule, and shocks are felt over vast areas. The shocks wreck houses, bridges and other engineering works and produce , fissures in the. soil or circular pitsWhich soon fill with water. At S ville, in 1834, a crack opened so suddenly as to split a large trt from the root to the branches, leaving one half growing ou each brink. Wjhen the shock occurs beside the sea a flood wav- iv'rwhelms the land strewing fish ai.d vessels : on the-shore, as at Lisbon 1755. The moral ellect of the shock is even worse thao the physical, for a panic often occurs nnd a dispo sition to doubt evrry thing, as well as bodily sickness aijd 1 ss of equi librium. ;The motion of the soil is compounded of a horizontal and vertical impulse, which at Charles ton, in 16, threw a train off the line, and at Rio Bamba, in 1797, ejected the remains of the dead from thir graves near the city to a height of several hundred feet.

We announced the dath last week of Mr Drewry McGee, who lived about 4 miles from towr. A gentleman who knows the family well tells us that Mrs. McGee, wife of the deceased, is a most remark able woman. Mr. McGeo'a mind had ben affected for about 25 years so that ks was iaoaaable of attending to business. Fnder these circumstam-es Mrs. McGee, although she had five small chil dren to occupy her time and atten tion, took charge of the farm a poor ridge place and conducted it with such ability as to.meritthe admiration of every one. She sup ported her family well, and gave each one of her children a good education. The family is now in good circumstances. Her three. sous are 111 business and all are said to be making money.
