That person who first discovered the
beauty, simplicity, and happiness of
perfect home ^ife noust have been
inspired from on high, must have had
a vision of heaven, and catching its
first gleam and glory,sought to establish
perfect happiness here. God only knows
the full import in perfect bliss for
here and hereafter of real and true
home life to all who particepate in its
oleasures. A man with a true, loving,
loyal wife, with affectionate obedient
children, feeld the thrill of heaven
permeating his soul, whether he ever
reaches the great bexond, that supernal
home of God, or not, he has had a tast,
a touch of heaven here.
But oh mercy, when man has lived a
while in this elvsian garden, this
earthly paradise, ard then discovers
the trail of the serpent of hist across
his hearth stone, finds it has injected
its poison into the heart of his wife,
and that home once so happy to him is
seen crumbling in to wreck, and ruin,
loves light gone ootv distrust, and
blight waving their blue torches from
the infernal r^ion in every crevice
and crany of that once happy spot
there any language in any tongue ever
created that can correctly picture, and
depict the horrible torture that tugs
at his heart strings, that chokes with
grief the pure air he strives to breathie?
Pity, yes pity the poor wretch, but
what is your pity worth to a heart
when loves light has been stifled out
when the tenderest .impulses that ever '
stired mortal mind has been torn and
broken thread by thread, and life is
left one dark bleak and blasted sahara.
What of him who has wrought this
ruin, pardon uis, the language we would
use to express our loathing, and disgust
for such a character perhaps had better
not go in print, and then there are
an other set of worthies for whom we
feel a contempt, it is the crowd of
human vultures that not only fail in
sympathy for these innocent sufferers
but the dirty mouthed'things go around
with a filthy lie in their mouths to
hurt the unfortunates,. to create
predudice, and try to disparage and
wrong, such persons in public esteem,
Let them be children, or old men. The
character who would do this are vile
vicious human vipers.
MeDane Wants You
Mebane wants you, it waots you
because it believes it can serve you
v eil, and it believes you can be of
service to Mebane. Mebane has en
tered an era of prosperity, and is
rapidly growing. Mebane is a town
situated on (he South jrn Railway near
ly midway between Durham and
Greensboro, in the extreme eastern
edge of Alamani:;e County, near the
border line of Orange. Mebanes leg
itimate field of commercial enter-
change extends forty miles north-to
the first railroad, it extends an equal
distance South, before it reach rail-
I
road communication. Mebane is pecu-
luarly situated to attract the leaf to
bacco trade from that vast section
embracing Northern Alamance, Cas
well, Orange, and Person Counties, in
which has grown some of the best leaf-
tobacco in the state. North and South
lies a vast fertile section awaiting
thorough development.
Tobacco, wheat, com, oats, and the
grasses grow prolific to the south com
cotton, wheat. Rye and all kinds of
vegetables are cultivated with great
profit. The soil is a lich clay loam.
Mebane has two large leaf tobacco
warehouses, and has been doubling her
sales each year since their establish
ment four years ago. In the past
four years Mebane has hearly doub
led her population. In that time she
has built ntore than seven miles of
asphalt side walk paving, built ten
brick stores, ovfer 100 residences,
two large tobacco warehouses, and has
street and resident
electric light plant to be installed by
August 1st. Mebane has a large brick
graded school building. The greatest
portion of this has been done in the
past four yesirs. What will four more
years bring in the thrift and progre'^s
of this .town. Prc^hesyine the future
by the past, and an investment here
would equal gold diggirg in the Klon
dike. Not for effect, but for a fact,
Mebane is e.'-'tremely healthy. When
the survey was being made for the
old North Carolina railroad between
Goldsboro and Greensboro it was learn
ed that Mebane was the highest point
between these two places on the line

The d;inking water here is obtained
from wells dug through stratas of
hard red clay, and rock from fifty to
sixty feet deep, the purest it is pos
sible to obtain. Those giving reason
able consideration to the laws of health
here, have seldom cause for a physi
cian. Mebane has a great future,
nothing but the unwise use of her
opportunts could thwart it. Wont
you come and enjoy the unfolding of
her destiny. Mebane wants you it

JACK JOHNSON GIVEN
JAIL SENTENCE; FINED
Negro Pugilist Must go tc
Penitentiary for Year and
a Day and Pay a Fine of
$1,060.
Jack Johnson, negro heavyweight
champion, has been sentenced to one
year and one day in the state peniten
tiary at Joliet and fined $1,000 for vio
lation of the Mann “white slave’ act.
Sentence was pronounced on John
son flfter Federal Judge Carpenter had
denied a motion for a new treal. John
son obtained two weeks’ time in which
to prepare a writ of error and the bond
of $30,000 on which he has been at
liberty since his conviction was allow
ed to stand.
Half a dozen deputy United States
marshals, who had grouped themseK es
about Johnson in anticipation of le
sistance when the prison sentence was
given, left the room when Judge Car
penter announced that the fighter
would continue temporarily at liberty.
The sentence to the state peniten
tiary is owing to the crowded condition
of the federal prision at Leavenworth.
Johnson left the courtroom declaring
he would not give up his fight at lib
erty.
Where is The Farmers^
Lobbyist.
In reading the accounts of the pass
ing of the new tariff bill by Congress,
which is now going on, we see men
tion of a great number of lobbyist
from the different manufacturing in
dustries of the countrv, but no where
have we seen where there is any one
representing the interest of the farm
ers before Congress.—Blackstone Cour
ier.
The Courier is right in conjecturing
that the great body of the agricultur
ists of the country are at home at
tending to their spring plowii.g and
seeding, instead of thronging the legis
lative corrido s at Wash’ngton and be
sieging the lawmakers to so adjust
taxation as to discriminate in their
favor. Their confidence that they will
be fairly looked after is, perhaps, will
founded, as it rests on the fact that
they compose a controlling majority of
the constituencies on whose good will
the seats of a majority of the Cdft-
gressmen depend. Besides this, the
eyes of the masses of farmers have at
last been opened to the truth that
duties nominally protective on thosa
natural products of which this country
exports large quantities and imports
little or none, have really no effect
whatever on prices, for these are
fixed by the condition of the world’s
supply in the ultimate markets abroad.
Except in cases of domestic corners,
or interruptions of commercial inter
course caused by war, the prices of
wheat and cotton in this country . are
fixed in Liverpool and are regulated by
the general relation of demand to the
aggregate crop of ull exporting coun
tries.—Columbia State.
