2 A BEAUTIFUL WORK A Sabbath in Pansy Chapsl Sunday Sctool in This City. ABOUT ORDER OF THE DAYS WORK Mr. Samuel Funkhouser Superintendent, is Assisted in the School By a Corp ot De voted and Faithful Teachers. There were no visitors at Pansy Chapel last Sunday because all the peo ple who are interested in Sunday school work attended the schools of which they are members at 9:30 o’clock —and it is generally understood those people who are not interested in some Sunday school are asleep at that hour. If those who were resting sonorously then could have had a glimpse of the scene in the little mission, the most indifferent among them would have smiled upon the children, their earnest teachers—the most cynical would have been pleased. The school opened with a little talk from the Superintendent, Mr, Funk houser, in regard to what song should be sung first. The children are always allowed to select them, and in their eagerness two spoke at once; a girl wanted 222, one of the boys called for <3O. Mr. Funkhouser was fair and asked the boys if they were not gallant enough to let the girls have their song first, then the school would sing No. 60. When they agreed to this, the genial superintendent suggested that the* boys should sing the girls’ song the loudest so that the girls would help them with their sweet voices afterward: For it is acknowledged by these youngsters that tbe girls sing the sweetest and they con tent themselves in rivaling them in their willingness and strong voices. Mrs. Jack played the organ and led the singing, as she always does, rain or shine. And the back of the organ is low enough for the school to see her face above it, which would be an inspiration in its sweetness and kindness even if every child in the house did not know and love her. So the Pansies were not behind in their singing and their teach ers believe that no other school had three hymns as heartily rendered as the Pansy had last Sunday. There followed a prayer led by Mr. EB. Pennington, .vho is so ably assist ing Mr. Funkhouser in the management of the school. After singing again the classes tcok their places, and in their eager rush towards the ladies could be seen their affection and confidence in them. To the right was Mrs. Jack’s class of girls, between thirteen and eighteen in age,repeating Bible verses for a prize which is to be given to the one who commits one hundred to memory. Nearly every member will have to be given a prize, for some have learned over a hundred already. Mrs. Stans bury wag surrounded by little tots all of them trying to get nearest to their teacher. Mr. Pennington taught a large Bible class of young and old men. Mrs. Mitchell has young ladies, and her class is growing verv rapidly. While just in front of hers is a class which is composed largely of young mairied women and ably taught by Mrs. Carroll. Mrs. W. D. Sparks teaches girls also, bright faced little ones who know that Mrs. Sparkscan tell them everything better than anyone else in the world could tell it, and they are so well-be haved for children of their age. Mrs, J. L. Camp has the other class of little tots, land a gay and happy company they are, minding their teacher IT- ■' j iJJ* At this moment thousands of men are standing at the cross-roads of life. Death in the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes them to take one road, while health and happiness in the form of wife and babies coax them to take the other. For the sake of a few added dollars will they continue to ■over-work and neglect the commonest pre •catttions for the preservation of health, or will they listen to love and reason and draw back before it is too late ? A man may do almost any amount of good, hard work if he will take care of his health and when he feels out of sorts will take the right remedy. The great blood-maker, flesh-builder and nerve tonic is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the hard - workers’ medi cine. It corrects all disorders of the diges tion, invigorates the liver, purifies the blood and tones and steadies the nerves. It makes the appetite hearty and brings refreshing sleep. Thousands of hard - workers owe their lives to it and have said so over their signatures. Druggists all sell it and all substitutes are frauds. “ I was taken with erysipelas in my hands and went to the doctor,” writes Mrs. Lena Baumgart ner, of Joy, Charlevoix Co., Mich. ”He said he could not "cure rar. lie gave me medicine to ease me but the disea r .« spread all over my body. I tool: two Imtties of the ‘Golden Medical Discov ery ’ ami two of.the ' Favorite Prescription ’ and am entirely cured. I have a boy three weeks old. I was helpless two or three months before con finement, but a r ter taking the • Favorite Prescrip tion ’ I was able to d i my washing three days before I was confined.” There is scarcely a known form of ill health that constipation will not cause or aggravate. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are an unfailing cure for constipation. One lit tle “Pellet” is a gentle laxative. BEWARE OF MORPHINE. * Mrs. Pinkham Aska Women to Seek Permanent Cures and Not Mere Temporary Relief C From Pain. Special forms of suffering lead many a jSgaSwSr / / ! \ I \ woman to acquire the morphine habit, Z \ One of these forms of suffering is a duII,HjSSK?A persistent pain in the side, accompanied by (k\\ I/, * ; | heat and throbbing.

He yields to I IA- her supplication for something to relieve the pain. 1 I i\ He gives her a few morphine tablets, with very s j I \ grave caution as to their use. Foolish woman ! She ■ 1/1 thinks morphine will help her right along ; she be- , 1/ I comes its slave I (J 1 1 L A wise and a generous physician had such a case; . 1 l\ \ he told his patient he could do nothing for her, as , 1 she was too nervous to undergo an examination. In despair, she went to visit a friend. She said to her, “ Don't give yourself up; just go to the nearest druggist’s and buy a bottle of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with the first bottle.” She did so, and after the fifth bottle her health was re-established. Here is her own letter about it: “ I was very miserable ; was so weak that I could hardly get around the bouse, could not do any work without feel- SjiflfctjOaSE J i n H tired out. My monthly periods had stopped and I was ffiMaSra? Tso tired and nervous all of the time. I was troubled very JhHSe* A mu ch with falling of the womb and bearing-down pains.

I gladly’■ecommend the Vegetable Com- N'* pound to every suffering woman. The use of one bottle will prove what it can do.”—Mrs. Lucy Peasley, Derby Center, Vt. promptly, but never so much in awe of her that they cannot confide tceir little secrets and aspirations. Miss Nellie Om berg has more boys—more boys than will gather round a pack of fire crackers on a Christmas eve’s night. And Mr. Charlie Sodges sits in the center of a half circle of little girls nearly the same age as Miss Omberg’s boys and it is hard to tell which class is the most attentive, and which class grows the fastest. And can any one guess how Mr. Funkhouser was engaged while his teachers were so busy? He stopped each just a moment from her work and said, .“Have you received any contribution for the Pansy Christmas tree? 1 ’ Well, all of the teachers had something to re port, but there is not enough yet, and the contribution box is still open—in fact, each teacher has a large contribu tion box and even the smallest offerings will be thankfully received. Pansy Sunday School had last Sunday, one hundred and eleven present. Evervhofiy Sitys So.

LIBERTY FOR LANCASTER? The Man Convicted of Killing' Forgytli May Not Serve Oat His Verin. Atlanta, Dec. 14.—1 tis likely that Wright Lancaster, a prominent citizen and ex-sheriff of Macon, Ga., will be pardoned out of the Ohio penitentiary at an early day. He was convicted along with Colonel Hall, an ex-member of the legislature, and others of the murder of Colonel John Forsyth and he and Hall were given life sentences. Hall died recently in the penitentiary. Hiram P. McKuight, the famous law yer convict, who has just been released from the Ohio penitentiary, became in terested in the case and concluded that Lancaster could be gotten out of prison by a habeas corpus route. He wrote to Senator Bacon to secure his assistance in the case and has just received an an swer from that gentleman in which he states that he has always been firmly of the belief that Lancaster was innocent of the crime alleged against him. He further states that he will present the application for a pardon before the present session of congress, and if that fails he thinks Lancaster can be gotten out on habeas corpus proceedings.

Farmer Advises That the Use of Guano be Discontinued Al tog e the i. Editor of Thk Trtbunk:— The question of buying guano is one ot much importance tn the farmers of this section. The guano sold in Rome for year 1897 has been considerably over {IOO,OOO and at the present price of cotton, that would take one bale of cotton out of every seven to pay for the guano. So you see that it is a terrible tax for the farmers to bear, when it is in their power to do other wise. Every farmer, be he landlord or tenant, could make compost enough to go on cotton ground by working one month during the winter, and you all know that very little work is done during the winter on the farms. So if every one who pretends to farm would spend one month, or about that, in making compost, the SIOO,OOO would be saved, or in other words we make that amount. The above amount only applies to Rome’s territory. If the whole coun try would adopt this plan millions would be saved, or made, as you please to call it, I, for one, did not buy a pound of guano, but on a four horse crop made and used more than one hundred wagon loads of compost this year, and expect to do likewise next. The farmers could build up their lands by fall plowing, putting under all stalKs, grass, weeds and other veg etation, so as to allow tbe same to de compose and feed the land. Our lands have become poor from tbe want of vegetation. Most farmers wait until the spring of the year and and then rake and burn the trash, which acte on the same principle as putting the horse in the stable and failing to put in his feed. Failing to feed land is the same as failing to feed the horse. Land must have vegetable feed. I may have peculiar ideas about the use of guano.’but I honestly believe that land stimulated with guano acts on the same principle as whiskey on a man. That is, when tbe stim ulant dies out, it causes the land to become poorer and weaker. I now think we farmers should call a halt on buying guano, and, as it were, give our lands the Keeley cure, by giving vegetable feed in the shape of compost, pea vines, &c. By so do ing will save that one hundred thous and dollars per annum and.make our lands richer. Much is being said in the papers about cutting down the cotton acreage which I think should be done by all means. Give us less cotton and more grain, sorghum, “hog and hominy,” plenty and prosperity, and all will be well. Farmer.
