HONOR THE FARMERS. It has been said that there is noth ing about which the American will not joke, and it may be affirmed with equal truth, that there is nothing in life too serious to be ridiculed by the American newspaper. So when it is not the sleepy policeman, or the mother-in-law, or the tipsy husband who comes home late at night, it is the American farmer who is made the butt of the ridicule. One can count on the fingers of one's hand men can put it to the ground with their combined strength. As many men as can get in a chair may pile on ii, and by simply placing'the palms of her hands on the chair-rounds she lifts them two or three inches, from the floor.

I am glad to see that the Epoch is one of the carefully ed ited papers. This subject may seem trivial, but it is more important than appears at first sight. Not that the ridicule of the press will injure the farmers of the country, but the constant harp ing upon the mythical ignorance and follies of this class has a tendency to place more rigid barriers between the city and the country and create caste. And if any one considers this result desirable, let him tell us how much caste has helped India in her progress. So long as the country villages and the rural districts furnish the boys to make the merchants and bankers and railroad magnates of the city, HER HEAD IN A LION'S MOUTH. A Dublin dispatch of Saturday says : At the conclusion of a per formance at a music hall in Dublin last night Mile. Senide, one of the performers, placed her head in a lion's mouth for the purpose of hav ing her photograph taken in that position. A certain flash of light caused the beast to close his jaws and he retired growling to the corn er of his cage, dragging his helpless victim with him. Then he shook the girl violently, tearing, her bare breast with his claws. The attend ants at once sprung toward the cage and attacked the lion with irons and finally succeeded in beating him off Mile. Senide was removed to her lodgings and medical aid was sum moned. Her neck, shoulders, breast and one arm are terribly lacerated, but she is still alive. Later it was stated that Mile. Senide's injuries are not of a serious nature, and that she has offered to appear tonight and repeat her per f ormance with the lion. C. O. D- Firm. S.

Lentz was rapidly disposing of "green goods" in front of his market. The transaction was perfectly legal and many of our citizens reveled in that early spring luxury, "a mess of pork and greens." - From a poster handed us by W. C. Coleman, we see that Rev. J. C.

On Saturday evening last many of the farmers of No. 8 Township met at St. John's Grange Hall in a very formal business like manner. The object of the meeting was to consider the most economic plan of purchasing fertilizers for the coming season. Mr. Archey Cline was call ed to the chair, and Esquire H. C. McAllister appointed secretary.. A engthy discussion was participated in by many in relation to the sub ject. Statements and proposals from manufacturers and dealers were read and carefully considered, and the meeting decided unanimously in favor of purchasing on the co-operative plan. The proposals intro duced demonstrated the fact that thereby $5 per ton could be saved on purchases. Twenty tons were subscribed for by those present. Tuesday we wandered up to brest Hill. Firstly we found Mr. Will Odell busy in his office, but he aid down his pen, ga"e us a grip and subscribed for The Standard before we had stopped gazing at the pretty, convenient business office; but when, by invitation, we peeped into the private apartment and com pcred it to an editorial sanctum scattered with exchanges and old proofs, we couldn't go in for fear we would break the last one of the com mandments. Secondly, we got a pass and went into the factory. The continuous clacking and hummin of machinery made us almost deaf and the turning, twisting and wind ing of pulleys, belting, looms, and so fortn made us dizzy. xn9 up shot of our visit was, that we are convinced that it i ? the biggest, best arranged and most orderly factory in the old North State.
