was in Homer a short while yester
day. He is the father of the young
mau who was killed by lightning
near Lula last summer, and gave
ns the particulars of his son’s pecu
liar death. The bolt of lightning
struck a tree in tire yard and en
tered the house at corner near the
ground, tore up the hearth and
threw the large stones out in the
tloor and then struck the tied
where young Turner was sleeping.
It made a hole thru a straw bed,
mattress and feather bed, went
into his ear and came out at his
breast, down his legs and out thru
the foot of the lied. Mr. Turner
says the hole in his breast was
about the size of a 44 calibre pistol
ball. This is one of the few in
stances where lightning ever broke
the skin or went thru a feather Lied.

We Should Appreciate the
Dural Carries-
It is a great luxury for one to
sit at his home by a warm fire, on
n cold, bleak, chilly day and re
reive his mall right at his door
but it is hat'd on the man who has
to deliver it. He leaves n com
fort; ble homo, and faces the chilly
winds to perform his duty, It is
true, he gets pay for it, but every
lime he goes on tho road in cold,
freezing weather he runs the risk
of losing his health, and even his
life.
Patrons should put these car
riers to as little trouble as passi
ble. Carriers are not allowed to
get out of their vehicles and to the
fire, matters not how cold it may
lie. It is true, they wear gloves,
but they have to pull their gloves
off when they reach in the mail
Ik>\ and get pennies with Which to
stamp letters. Patrons can help
the carriers by always buying
stamps and putting them on their
letters. All the patrons in this
county are urged to help the car
riers this much and anything else
they can possibly do to contribute
to the comfort of the men who are
welcome daily messengers to their
homes.—Ex.

The Birds in Church.
“God’s happy children of the air
(In leafy boughs are swinging,
While beings fair with forms divine
Are In the churches playing.
Cathedral grand with vaulted sldrs
The songs of birds are filling;
The wide extended plains of heaven
Arc with their rapture thrilling.
They cllanttheanthemsoftheir God
And worship him with singing.
Who listens to their songs may hear
The chimes of heaven a ringing.
In divers notes of sweetest tones
Their lays to us come stealing.
They seem to draw us to the sides,
While in our pews we’re kneeling
We bow liefore the Lord in prayer,
Our love to Hint expressing;
The prayer is said; wo rise, and lo,;
We see a sight distressing.
From bough to bough, from tree to
tree,
The birds no longer flitting,
All bruised and crushed aud cold
and dead,
On ladies’ hats are sitting.
Their songs without now ne’r heard
The minstrels dead or dying;
Within the sinners,vain with pride
Their God to praise are trying.
They sing aloud their hymns oi
praise,
And think that God is hearing,
While on their shapeless hats in
truth
A thousand birds they’re wearing.
And now no chirping music wild
On airy wings is swelling;
The voiceless birds to church have
gone
To find an alien dwelling.
Methinks could all these lifeless
birds
Our hearts with song be filling,
A plaintive voice to us would say,
•WhyiUm’t you stop this killing!’
An adswer bold in haste is made,
‘What cares a bird for living?’
Just this, dear friend,to live the life
That God to it is giving.”
