From Saturday's Daily.
Here we all arc supposed to be,
at leas-t. It is Saturday even
ing. St p a moment, reader, and
think if you do such things. The
mnnager of this colu n wauts to
slk a little sense and a little nou
sense, too. You Deedn't read it,
unless you waut to, but to run the
risk of "thinking you must read it.
i hese are hard times ; if you have
nothing, you are troubled in trving
to get something. If you hare some
thing, you are troubled in trying to
kwp it-isn't this so? With all
ibU none i f us are happy, because
we haven't thought about it. These
tun, could be harder, tougher and
more uncomfortable. It is possible
to be in a famine that would be
harder ; .it is possible to be tired of
thene itruggltB of a life and cot -be
able to eitncate ourselves from fur
ther jogging along here without-
trak of suicide iu it that would
be tounhei ; t is possible-, tbaiv
might become million res and such
kindred faults and be forever anxious
about the t-robabi ity of the presence
of bomb or au ordinary dynamite
that .would - b , uncomfortable.
The bird still sings, the sun still
risei, the cows still give milk, the
dogs adll bark, the trains still run,
and there' more -wood in the coun
try, and 6 ceuts' cotton why be Re
spondent? These things might not
be then what ? '
People buy medicine. - Some peo
ple are fond of making a ba 1 taste
in their mouths, and . making - aw
mills to appear.in their heads.. They
have a right to do this. America
.-is a free country, and every Ameri
can citizen can do somewhat as he
dikta at least, take medicine. Let
the American citizen take medicine
it's bound to be used.
The t o correspondents that wro'e
about the electric lights in a recent
: ,' ih Standard are to be
jisut; v :
jitied. They are not appreciative,
and cer ainly don't see well. They
don't know much about Bugology,
or they wouldn't advocate these
little yellow lighting bugs for
street lights.
This is a free country; and the
man who wants to talk about yon,
jiose into your business and be
hypocrite why, let him have ro. e
It will soon get around his neck ; if
it doesea'r, it or-ght to.

The greatest fnd among newspa
per men now-a-ddys is :i le::S''d wire
running into the printing oiiiee. It
is qnite the proper thing. But the
leased wire is a failure mil ss yon
have an experienced iuiii competent
operator to handle the electricity
wheu it sl'.uois into the o'lice where
opinions are moulded, and where

The stockholders bought on, which
enabled the paper in a very short

State that has a Special and
Leased Wire, ruuning into the office.
The paster and cutter attachment
has not been; and until it does the
office will not be modernized.
All a'.on these eventful times,
the Standard has felt lonesome over
the matter. Xot so no w !
We, too, have a Special "Wire, and
and we have it without a lease.- In
fict we have two of 'em one rnuj
in and one runs out. Inasmuch
as our Wire is an insulated
one, there is po danger to the opera

which every modern office has.
Besides our Wire furnish.s light for
the office, a feature that unu in

A call, by the executive commit
tee of the Y. M. C. A., brought out
a good sized crowd Thursday night
"Shall the organization be con
tinued?" was the question under
consideration.
It was looked at and discussed
from all standpoints. It wa3 unan
imously agreed that the organiza
tion should continue. This wai
the conclusion after candid and cool
statements concerning the work that
had been done. It was shown, be
yond a possible doubt, that good had
been accomplished to a degree suffi
cient to call for its continuance.
Nearly every one present subscri
bed, while others increased their
subscription. Members of the or
ganization were requested to accom
pany the State Secretary in his can
vass for the necessary amount to
carry on the work.
It is believed that the people of
the town will contribute, notwith
standing the pressure of the times,
to its support.
Every one, who is convinced of
the good influence of the organiza
tion, should contribute to its sup
port as liberally us possible. The
Standard believes it will be done.
"THE XFfilMI IX XEtJKO LASB."
Was the Subject r a Lecture by Rt.
Sir. Ire-ly, to a Sew York Audi
ence. Rev. Tressly, the son of Dr. J E
Fressly, of Coddle Creek, this"cona
ty, lives in Xe v York. lie was
invited to deliver a pay lecture for
the benefit of a local cause. Hia
subject was "The Negro in the
Xegro Land" and the Delhi (1ST. Y.)
Republican says of it.
"Rev. 5Ir. Pressley'a lecture at tht
Opera House was well attended and
his subject elaborately developed
and skillfully, eloquently and dra
matically rendered. He is evidently
a well trained orator and elocution
ist, and Lis descriptive powers fine,
word painting and imagery vivid
and highly wrought.
Some of the scenes in which he
picture I his brawny hero in hia
pursuit of beauty were regarded aa
almost too realistic, and many would
dissent from the rather fulsome
feast provided for the prodigal, on
his return from the ashes of the
pleasures of some to the control of
brains, and to the contrast of hia
heroine, and a curiosity as to how
he would have rescued her had 6he
been plunged "into the depths" in
the same manner as was done with
the hero. They were at losa to
know with what sauce the goose of
this fable would in such casehaYe
been served up.
However, there was food for
valuable thought many noble sug
gestions for independent and manly
action, so -vividly portrayed and
eloquently wrought as to leave a
strong and lasting impression in the
minds of hi3 hearers.
Au exchange says : If the parlor
rocking chair could talk it would
put a stop to much of the grumbling
about crowded street cars.
COFGniNO ITS CAUSE AND CURB.
Coughing is an involuntary effort to
expel irritating matter from the lungs
or bronchial passages, and is, therefore,
r.s necessary, at times, as vomiting is to
relieve the stomach of indigestible of
poisonous substances. As a general
rule, when the stomach is unburdened
of its contents, the retching ceases.
Not so with bronchial irritation, the
effect being liable to remain long after
the primary cause has Leen removed.
The reason of this is that, in the acts of
couching and expectoration, the mucous
coating of the throat and air passages
becomes inflamed and congested j conse
quently the inclination to cough and ex
pectorate still continues and the delicate
tissue of the fauces are further irritated.
The great danger of a severe and pro
tracted cough is in the liability either
to rapture a congested blood-vessel or
to cause an irritation and soreness that
may result in ulceration of the lungs.
Tho obvious course of treatment is
to administer, first, an expectorant that
will assist in loosening and bringing
way tlie phlegm; and, secondly, au
anodynu to soothe the inflamed and irri
tated membrane. To accomplish this
two-fold purpose is the design of a.l
coaii-eures; but the danger with moa
of taem is that they are 0 cloying
to the stoniaih as to seriously inter
fere with the proecss cf digestion; con
sequently, in the effort to cure one
complaint, the patient ia liable to con
tract another.
Wh.it, then, is best to be done? The
answer is : Take a medicine that is both
an anodyne and an expectorant oce
which loosens the phlegm and soothts
the irritated membrane, but does not
interfere with, or endanger, the regular
functions of any other bodily organ.
Can such a remedy be found f W
reply unhesitatingly, it can in Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. For more than forty
years this preparation has been in use,
and it is without doubt, the safest
and most efficacious of all cough-cures.
That it i.s so estimated by the public is
evident from the fact that no other
preparation of the kind is in such nni
versal demand. As a family medk
cine, for cases of croup, whooping cough,
sore throat, bronchitis, and the sudde
pulmonary troubles to which children
are exposed, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral i
simply invaluable.
