On earth today is looking merely for the best values at the the lowest possible
price, that is all. He does not search for the biggest stock nor for the loudest
mouthed advertiser. He does not care a continental whether the merchant
from whom he buys, does the biggest business or the smallest. The ml live
man with nine children and only one wife to support, with low priced cotton,
should have but one object in view, when he comes to town and that to get the
beat value possible for his money.

Did you ever remark the difference
between German women and Ameri-
can women? American women be-
lieve that men grumble natarally, and
pay no attention to it, but German
women accept grumbling as a warning
that they had better look out. Eng-
lish women aro also a little afraid of
their mtn folks.—Atchison Globe.

LaUrange Journal. r
At 12 o'clock next Sunday
night the New Year begins—that
of 1900 and the last of the centu-
ry. It is customary upon this
event to send broadcast friendly
greetings and good wishes, such
as long life, happiness and general
prosperity to relatives and per-
sonal friends; and the Journal,
not to be outdone, starts in ahead
with these suggestions to whom
they may concern:
Let the young women resolve
to relieve mother of her many
household duties; do the family
washing, mending and ironing;
take the bulk of the kitchen work
upon themselves and the cham-
ber-work with it; divide it among
them; and give the old mother
w ho [has nursed and cared for
ihern from babyhood, who has
watched night after night at
their side when the fever ran
high, threatening to take them
hence, a whole year's holiday.

less you expect a relative or Heaven
friend, and don't, for goodness
sake, carry your heart at the end
of your coat sleeve. Be compan-
ions to mothers, obedient to fath- Wednesday morning Jack Dan-

Let the youth upon whomand'Squire Smith was sum-
the rolling pin make him a loving
husband. May the wife take
pleasure in planting her cold feet
in the middle of his back when
the thermometer is taking the
"two step" far below zero; any-
thing to awaken the imbecile!
Let the husband who has been
negligent in love and affection to
the wife; who has evening after
evening deprived her of his com-
pany and prospected about the
night-latch in the young vours of
the morning until she came to
his aid, turn over a new leaf. Let
him renew the days of adoration
and of courtship; let him rekindle
and fan into flame the affection
which, years ago, he protpised
should at no time, wane; and let
him be to her the support, com-
fort and protection the Almighty
willed, not only during the com-
ing year, but until the eye closes,
the heart ceases to beat and the
pulse is no longer responsive to
the touch.
And the wife? Let the new
year shower upon her thousand-
fold treasures on earth and in

fort in the decline of life take in
his mainsail and run down his
jib. His gait is too strong for en-
nobling returns. Let him quit liv-
ing upon the "old man" and strike
out for himself. Let his aim be
to climb the ladder of fame and
fortune to at least an honest liv-
ing, and not cast longing glances
upon the paternal shoes. Let
him part his hair like the brainy
men of old, cultivate his intellect
by the study of good books and
give the soul-destroying novel the
black eye. In fact, let him re-
form, remodel and raise himself
above the common "no good"
cither at home or abroad.
Let the bachelor who has nev-
er tasted the bliss of happy mat-
rimony take a tumble to himself.
Let him throw out his line—keep
a careful watch upon it- and ere
the year is out propose to and wed
some fair and noble woman to be
a helpmeet in the hours of adver-
sity and sorrow. Let him atone
for his laggardness in entering
the matrimonial harness by doing
penance at the shrine of Obedi-
ence and Submission, and may

I quest over the body.
The facts developed were about
these: The old negro was in town
Tuesday and left late in the eve-
ning, being considerably weary
of carrying saloon groceries; on
his way home he stopped at a
house, and those there testify
that when ne left he was very
drunk. He got on his horse and
left the house at a lively gait.
Next morning he was found dead
about three hundred yards from
the house. It is supposed he fell
from his horse and being stunned
went to sleep before recovering,
his death hein& occasioned bv ex-
posure to the cold.
"Uncle Jack" Daniels lived
about three miles from here, and
spent most of his life in and
around the town. He was get-
ting along well in years, and was
a well-liked and respectable ne-
gro. His death, coming as it did,
is to be deplored.
