SALISBURY, N. C, THURSDAY,
Leonanie angels named lier, .
And they took tRe light '
Of the laughing stars, and framed her
In a suit of white, -And
they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes of glowing
Moonshine, and they brought her to. rue
In the silent night. "
In a solemn night of summer,
When my heart of gloom . '
Blo3iomed up to greet the comer t
Like a rose in bloom;
All forebodings that distress'd me
I forgot as joy caressed mc,
Lying joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doorm' f?
Or.ly spake the little lisper
In the angel's tongue,
Yet I listened heard her whisper,
"Songs are only sang
Here below thuYthey may grieve you,
Tales are told yon to deceite.Jui - -
So rn mst Leonanie leave you
While her love is young."
Then God smiled and it was morning,
Matchless and supreme,
Heaven's glory seemed adorning
Earth with its esteem.
Every heart but mine seeru'd gifted
With the voice of prayer, and lilted
Where my Leonanie driited
From rne, u like dream.

For centuries it was generally be.i. ved
by those who dwelt in town that farmers
ate large quantities of cream, and that
their gardens were lull of every con
ceivable - fresh vegetable - and fruit
This theory has been exploded with a
loud and reverberating report.
Farmers eat less cream than the
pale and seductory but scholarly green
goods dealer, and the poor people ol

We farmers are often asked: Why
don't you keep your boys on tire farm?
W hy d: we not e?itertain them more?
Why don t we have a. billiard tahie
and orchestrian in the birn.'sa that
our boys can be happy at home and
not seelc to become rogues and de

RED MULES FOB THE BUSyImART.
Mostevery one f eels - f ieJ to M vise
the farmer and every littlerwhile some
man who' has amassed eighty-four dol
lars in trade comes out in the farm
with a case of ginger ale, and also one
of hay fever, bringing with him a lit
tle red covered book on how to am use
the soil so that it will laugh in the au
tumn with abundance.
Anon he will be seen trying to hive
a large mortgage by means ot a green
mosquito" net, but with ill success.
The farmer obtains more such advice
and example- than anybody else.
Those who fear that they may not
succeed as rag pickers in town, stiil
know thatthey can succeed on the
farm if tire worst comes to tne worst.
Even the Snan that picks up the stubs
of costly cigars in front of the Au
thor's club by means of a gold headed
cane with a brad in the end says to
himself at night: "Viola! It matters
not. Traybeyeut! If I fail at this
the clever scented fields are awaiting
me. Negotiant est negotiant ! I may
at least btty a cow and raise virus for
viccinating purposes on the farm."
"EVEN THE SORE EYED BEGGAR
Who haunts the busy marts sas over
and over again beneath his ewe inspir
ing breath: "1 am not at the bottom
yet. P still live in town. If I fail
mentally I may still be a farmer'
But is there no way by which we
us farmers may at least get a-percen
tage or the vegetables I hut grow on
the face of the earth? uHow I pity
the people," :ays Mr. T. Grieine-, "who

Aeeordinr to statistics taken in Illi
nois in 1888, only 17 per cent of the
farmers had strawberry' patches. Pork
and patent medicines play into each
others -hands on the farm, and the
boy who ought to be a young gitit at
twenty is a pal id, scanuy ami unhappy
old man.
Many a farmer boy lias to go into
town for his watermelons, bis tipples
and his strawberries. He amy he able
io get a taste of them on the Fourth
of July, and that has to do, for O!
other days he has to work so hard that
iu the evening he is

Let ts take these re.it truths to
heart, fellow farmers, and encourage,
the truck patch, not for gain, but that
our wives and children may be well
and happy. Would you rather fill -a
family with asparagus or pain killer?
Should we properly nourish our chil
dren or feed them with patent-medicines?
' It is true that we have many, very
many foes to meet unfavorable
weather from without and insects from
within but these are to be met with 4
philosophy and other chemicals. Eter
nal vigilance is the prjde of the water
melon, and the same rule may be ap
plied to other vegetables Many pre
ventives hare been patented and intro
duced among farmers, and most of
them are of no avail. Yet, gardening
has made much advancement, as has
also agriculture generally, stock rais
ing and bee culture.
Some years ago, in Georgia, there
lived a farmer whom we will call Troo
fie Amos E. Troofie. ul was work
ing one summer for. Troofie," paid a
neighbor of mine the other day while
speaking of the rapid strides that agri
culture had made lately. "1 was work
ing there and so was my brother dale.
One afternoon a man comes along that
was selling these patent bee gums
with sashes to them that gits shet of a
good deal of the trouble it is to hive a
passle of bees, and he wanted right
smart, to sell one to Troofie, but Troo
fie felt too pore to buy patent bee
gums as times was, for money matters
was powerful scarce then.
"But the ma., he hung on and al
lowed that it would suit him to stop
for dinner and feed the hor-c, and
Uien if Troofie would furnish the lum
ber he would build the gum for a dol
lar and give Troofie the directions, so's
'that he could operate it and not get
stung.
"After dinner the man tQok and
turned in and made the bee gum with
w hat we could hope him, understand,
and iron he give him Iih dollar and
the man lit his pipe and ot in his
wagon. Then Troofie savs regarding
them directions, 'Mister, you mustn t
forsiit that 'fore von go, fer nuthin'
enters u.e like a bee sting, and I re
gard 'em the pizenest thing m the
whole world. 'All right, says the
feller, and so Troofie calls me and
O de to come there, sos that it he was
away when the bees swamed we could
'tend to 'em without gittin' stung.
" The teller took two or three draws
at his ipe, and then he says, kind of
slow and thoughtful, like a man that
is far away from home and sort of
lonesome like, 'You have saw,' he
.is. "iiow the gum is made for the
convenience of the bee, and with re
gards to getting stung,' he savs, kind
of touching up his stock with the
whip and starting off down the road,
H.he hi st wav to get hut of a bee
sting is to

Among the enemies to plant life are
the ant, which I never could see tin
uie of except for the sluggard, to re
so.t U).

Tho ant. or formica, is a small red
or black insect with a sharp acid taste

place of pickles. Mr. Stanly very
truly savs that in eq tutorial Afnc;
the natives often use the larger ants on
their blue points instead of lemon.

used near the ant hole with good el

1,000 ants and a sluggard or two
kiiled in one night in a small garden
where muskmelons were growing iu
profusion.

Snails are voracious enemies of the
garden, aud Mr. Grieiuer says that the
only way to deal f witlrt hem is to scat
ter pieces of orange peel ou the ground
fit night, ami in the morning one can,
if very active, capture the snail, which
is soiond of the orauge peel that it
forgets to go home to its family for
breakfast, and thus may be headed off
and run down by a brisk man.
We need hardly mention the squash
vine borer, the squash bug, the wire-
worm or the unearned increment, all
ot which are the enemies ot the far
mer and the gardener.
. Let us strive against these foes and
seek intelligently to eat more good
vegetables at home instead of saving:
for our families those articles which
the rich, the pampered and sedentary
refuses to pay.

Overman at Concord.
Correspondence ot tho Watcnman.
. Concord, N. Sept: 5, 1802.
Mr. Editor: Mr. Lee S. Overman,
of Salisbury, spoke here to night before
the Cleveland aud Carr club. It was
indeed a poor effort for one of Ins ca
pacity aud position. For r.rguments he
substituted abuse, for facts he related
falsehoods, and, in fact, a niore com
plete failure seldom heard here. He
said that the people were afraid to come
out and hear discussion. He termed
the people's party men hypocrites,
thieves and rascals and this state was
brought about by reading such per-
literature as the Proftressice"0' Many-caudulates already bald-
Fqrmev and similar papers. At one I
time thev would heed the voice of the
stump speakers, butnow thev learn of
things in the midnight, and" will not
listen
to their talk. baid that the
tlevi wou d rest in neaven as soon its
Weaver would be president. Cleve
land is agfcinst everything the people's
party advocates. He argues strenu
ously against the free and unlimited
coinnge of silver, notwithstanding this
very plank is in the platform to
which he owes allegiance. What kind
of a democrat is Mr. Overman when
ie goes around speaking against his
own State platform? If he is loyal to
it, why not uphold its principles.'' He

voting for Weaver that he was a

the very same Greenback ticket. Why
13 it a crime
i to vote lor the orce
Greenbac k Weaver and a virtue to vote
for the oiice Greenback Stevenson?
He said he believed that the third party-
was a republican aid society, and that
the "leaders in this State were guilty of
arson, perjury and hog stealing, al
though he admitted that he did not
know anything about them except
what he read in the democratic papers.
He next cited us to the asylums, &c.,
that the democrats had estab!thed in
North Carolina, bat forgot to say that,
even the republican States iu this re
spect i-e far aheadof North Carolina.
Mr. Overman can congratulate him
self tbat there were uot many peoples
party men present, for his eborts
would -only have confirmed their faith
in their platform and nominees. It is
curious how some intelligent men can
expect to win votes by a general sys-
e:n of abuse.
Ouly this and nothing more."

From fourteen counties in the Pied

1 want to get back to the good old
days when there was no talk of force
bill and negro supremacy: when the
whig and democrat could lie down to-
gether, and when politicians s;id their
prayers before they wtu,t to sleep iu
stead of cussing the other side until
they fell asleep from sheer exhaustion'.
My wife was talking 'about- that the

I was a man and she a woman. 1 a in
