7Vlv Planter does not believe in
contracting debts, as a rule, but if
a man is justifiable in going in
debt for anything it is home. Thc
trouble with too many is that
they want to buy a large farm,
and if they cannot do this they
continue renting. This is wrong.
No K)or man .should buy morc
land than he needs. The better
plan is to buy a small place and
improve it. Build a house and
create a home. It might be a
very humble one at f.rst, but it
can be. by degrees, made beauti
ful and attractive. A few acres of
land may be made fertile, and, by
intelligent management and thor

I Icr reply to a friend (who wrote
her that he was informed she had
only to signify her willingness to
accept to receive the appointment)
was that while sensible of the
kindness which prompted the
move she would be unable to give
an affirmative answer; but, indeed,
must positively decline. She
stated that her father is now
ninety-one years of age and needs
her presence; Ithat though she
dearly loved Lexington and all its
people the; place did not suit her
health, and she was confident
she hadn'tithe requisite qualifica

1 The correspondence with Mrs.
Jackson conducted through a per
sonal friend was at the suggestion
of a promimcnt Virginia Republi
can, who it is believed stands in
high favor at Washington, who
said he spoke for both Wana
makcr anl Harrison, and that in
this movement they designed to
express their high; appreciation of
thc noble wife of a great Confed
erate, and in so doing give evi
dence of their fraternal feeling for
the Confederate soldiers.
I '.qua I to the Occasion.
An Irishman, who was a dealer
inasmaliAvay, and kept a little
donkey and a cart, came, on one
occasion,' to a bridge where toll
was levied, but, to his disappoint
ment, found that he had not mon
ey enough to pay. A thought
struck him. He unharnessed the
donkey and put it into the cart.
The"n " getting in between the
shafts himself, he pulled the cart,
with the donkey standing on it,
to thc bridge. In due course he
was hailed by thc toll collector.
"Hey, man,": cried the latter,
"whar's your toll ?" Said the Irish
man, "Jist ax the droiver !"
How Cheatham Meat Simmons. !
New Tork Sun. ' ' !
The election of Cheatham (col
ored; over Mr. r. M. bimmons to
Congress! from Eastern North
Carolina,; was brought about in a
very funny manner, and was prac
tically settled in half an hour
Oppositej Newberne is the town
called James City. It is settled
entirely by the blacks, and Mr
Simmons; knew that he had to get
tins entire vote to be re-elected.
His friend went over and called a
ppblic meeting and stated vHat
Simmons! had done for the district
and the colored people, and as he
really bad proved himself a bene
factor the colored people were
ready to go for him to a man.
The tajk vas all for Simmons.and
Cheatham was repudiated and in
sulted. No one thought he had
a ghost of a show, but he jWas
biding his time. The night be
fore election Cheatham himself
appeared at a called meeting in
James City. The crowd opposed
his speaking, and one of 1 the
leaders iriqured: ' I
Didn t Mars Simmons it dat
'propriatipn fur de new posoffis?''
Yes, he did." 1 1 ,
"Didn't he git dat 'propriation
fur a stone road to the. soldiers'
cemetery?" I
"Yes, he did.
"Didn'jt he git dat 'propriation
to build a new revenue-cutter j for
dis yer decstrict?" . I ; i
"Yes. he did. ; I
"Well.l then, what you.. calkin'
'bout ? What's de matter of Mars'
Simmons ?" I '
Dat's iist de trouble, gem'len,"
replied Cheatham as he got his
opening:! Mars' Simmons got; too
much influence. He goes down
dar to Washington and says :.
'Missur Cleveland, 1 want dat new
pos?offis down to Newberrie. An'
Missur Cleveland he say: fAll
right, Missur Simmons, take alLde
money you want.' An' Mars Sim
mons goes back dar purtysoqn
an "says: '.vnssur iieveianu, 1
want stone road down dar in
Newberne.' An' Missur Cleve
land he say: A11 nghtfc Missur
Simmon, I give you $20,000 to
make stone road. An '- 'Mars
Simmon goes back in two weeks
agin an says: 'Missur Cleveland
I want revenue cutter down; dar
in New berne.' An' Missur Cleve
land he say: 'All right, Missur
Simmons, 1 send you one.' Now,
gem'len, when Mars j Simmons
do'wn to Washington dis
winter nn says:; 'Missur Cleve
land, I want you to take all dem
niuc:ers in Tames City an put 'em
back into slavery agin,' what Mis

He likes Mars' Simmons. Mars'

Dat's what he's gwyne ter say, an

The'alarm spread like wildfire,
and the j more it was talked the
more at! was believed, and the

The dem of thought contained
in this paragraph is accredited to
Rev. Sam Jones. Whether he is
the author or not, we have no
means of knowing, but it has a
nunfjencv not unworthy the noted
pvnno-plisf.. It is as follows: - "If
we could have beaten thej Repub
lican party this time it would
have died, but the Democratic
party will never die. They wall
bum up Democrats when the
world is on fire."
What is called the "Arnett
law" in Ohio requires mixed
schools, and since it wen$ into ef
fect the farmers in some localities
are quietly dismissing their color
ed tenants. When a lease ex
pires the colored man is told that
another has the place, so he must
look elsewhere for a home. Thus,
without apparent design, whole
school districts are cleared of col
ored people and the law which
was framed for their good is a
positive injury. j
