Interesting Notes From Various Points Around and About us. Of a Personal and Newsy Character. Pencilings Reproduced From The Notebooks of Fish erman & Farmer Reporters. to Advices from China say that hundreds of people are dying of starvation in the vicinity of Ichaug. The grain crop was almost a total iailuie last year in that section and the supplies are now completely exhausted. The home life must be the sweetest. Keep out all bickering and strife. The world is full of back-biting and misunderstand ing and envy; the man is to be pitied who, after a hard day's sail amid the storms of business cares and fears, cannot drop anchor at eventide in the quiet harbor of a peaceful home. We want to get rid of our grumbling, fault finding spirit in the home, and learn to speak words of praise and approval. It is as easy to tell the wife when she does well as when she misses a button or has weak coffee; it is wiser to praise the children for their good deeds than to be unceasingly nagging them about their mis takes. Make home happy, and richest results will follow. Too many people pay more attention to the affairs of others than to their own. Man's head is not double-barrelled like a shot gun. God gave to every man a head of his own, and he who attends to his own business has enough to keep him reasonably busy forever. People are like wapss. Society is a sugar barrel with the sweetness taken out. Meddlers go buzzing and bump ing against the soured sides. There are thousands who know nothing of theii own business, but know all about the concerns of their neighbors. Tearing another's character to pieces will not help ours, uo matter how dirty the other man may be. Pointing out the weeds in vour yard will not make the weeds in our yard more beautful. The white cottage and the brown mansion each hide trouble from 'the world. People talk and know not whereof they speak. They retail slander to show how loul is the dish most palatable to them. Let us walk straight along. Let us each mind our own business, and we will never be out of employment. Williams, For Treasurer: A. L. White, For Constable: J. V. Spruill. The. meeting was large ly attended, and one of the most harmonious ever held here. The nominees are all good men and should receive the 'support of every lover of good government. This is no time for expressing petty grievances. Every voter who has the interest of the town at heart should come forward and support the Democratic nominees. See if you are regis tered correctly, and on Monday place a vote for men who will represent your ward with credit, a Treasurer in whose hands the finances of the town will be cor rectly handled, and a constable who will uphold the majesty of the law 111 everv particular Democrats do your duty !

The talking machine has been the wonder of the scientist and the layman for the last decade. To reproduce the human voice in song and conversation was an accomplishment so marvelous, that it filled the hearer with somethingjakin to superstition; now the reproduction has ex tended to every conceivable sound. On one record you hear the voices of many animals, on another, a cornet solo or duet, on still another, the sweet mel ody of the piano or the wonder ful ensemble playing of the band or orchestra. The very latest and best of the machines is now owned by Mr. J. D. Sykes. You can hear songs by the most eminent artists, instrumen tal music by the first pianists, cornetists, and baugo perforin ers. Speeches aud sermons by the greatest orators, jokes and the passion parts by the first ac tors. In fact eve"ry sound pros duced by man or beast is repro diiced by the marvelous Gramos phone. It will be heard for the first time at the Academy Hall, Mon day, May 3d, at 8:15, p. m. Admission 15 cents, Children 10 cents. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
