Ax old lady who bad heard a great dead of talk about germs and germ diinw got the idea that these things were prettv bad ani mal. But ia all the talk that she bad beard of them no one bad men tioned anything about their size. So when a neighbor was expatiat ing on genu aud their wouderful danger to mankind, the old lady enquired as to their size. Ou being t 'Id that a germ was far too small to be even seen with the naked eye, her disgust waa tnauifest, and she observed that she bad 'lowed that they'd be as big as later bugs any how. Untie John Jonks, a decrepit old colored citizen of the county home, heard alwut the big hog that was on exhibition here last week and wandered up town in the hot of hearing something more about it, but not thinking in his wildcct moment of ever gettiug itiMile to see it. Accosting a man who was pausing, aud minting to the pic ture of the hog hanging on the street, Uucle John said, "Boms, is be 'live!'' Ou being told that the hog was certainly alive aud able to stand up, Uucle John remarked that he aud some friends had talk-1 ed the matter over aud come to the conclusion that there was no such hog as that but that it was a trick somebody had gottea up to make money by fooling people. At this the man bought UncleJohn a tick et and told him to go iu and see for himself. This he proceeded to do after saying that as he could not see ont of but one eye, he would not be able to see all that hog at ouce. But when Uncle John had fastened his one eye on the big hog aud run the line of vision from tip to tip, he exclaimed, ''Good Gawd, why didn t dey bring along a ele- fiut wid him!" Hknky Stockton, the famous colored porter, now retired on a pension aud panning his last days away from the toil of notel me, walked up the street the other day and accosting Mr. It V. Houston inquired, "Mr. Bob, is Mr. Dave secured de services of dat cook yett" What cook are you talking aboutf was the answer. "Why, de one he has been ad- vertism1 for. I was read in de pa lter to myole woman de other night ami come cross dis: " 'I, D. A. Houston, certifies dat wants a cook. No ladies of de loldeu Star, nor de book club belles is wanted, neither any ladies what says 'came,' but dem what talks cornfield Kuglitdi and don't pass de dough weu you ax for a biskit'" And now another old soldier has laid off his harness and will take a rest. Certainly he has earned it, hut things won't seem just natural for awhile. A few weeks ago one took off his gear and fastened it upon a young mau; and now anoth er does likewise. And Monroe is not yet so busy in the whirl of progress not to make note and think for a day upon the event A third of a ceutury ago two men, W. H. Phifer aud G. D. Broom, took up the important work of car rying ou the leading Suuitay senool in the town, the first assnperiuteu- tendent, the other as secretary. Some few weeks ago Mr. Broom laid his armor down and aktd that a young man be appointed to take it up. Now Mr. Phiter has done like wise, aud Prof. J. A. Bivlns issu jieri n tendent, having taken charge last Sunday. Think of the chil dren who have iu that time come under the inlluencc of that school; some of them to pass beyond while yet they were angels on earth; oth ers to grow up and cast their lots iu other places, while still more to rear ciiildreu of their own to in turn sit under the same ministra tions. Thiuk of the real progress that has been made iu the mora) and religious development of this section iu that time. As theso men and others like them who have valiantly borne the burdens of their day, lay their work from time to tune upon younger men, every such event is a mile post in prog ress, because a new progress is made possible by reason of the foundation they have laid. "It's wonderful how active the whiskey people are," said a miuis ter who lives in the couiitry, yes terday. "I have seeu it stated that extra mail clerks had to be put on at Salisbury to handle the mail that is being sent out from w blskey headquarters. Judging from the amount I have received the total must be enormons. One mail last week brought me six big packages of anti prohibition literature, and I guess they are sending it to ev erybody else in proportion." TliK prettiest terraces that this writer has seen are on the farm of the Clark Brothers in Sandy Kidge township. A fine wiling hill, which but for the terraces would now tie a aeries of gullies, stretches out be fore their dwelling and presents a nrettv view. The terracing was among the first work of this kind done in this section. It was done bv the father of the Clark Broth ers, Mr. W. D. Clark, who died fifteen years ago, aud baa been kept np and improved since by them. The sections between the terrace rows are becoming almost flat, making a series of broad steps down the wide bill, and the land is in Que cultivation.
