Liberty.
We ‘ ' . ' 'IH:
o' '
But wt> Lave ~ ’K fully tru: ted
Xr.A with our growth ao grow her dero^Vs.
She will huvo no half etrvice.
Liberty 1 It Is a *ord to conjure with,
Not to vex: the ear in empty boastings,
Far Liberty moans Justice, and Justice is the
natural law—
Tlio law ci Valt-b and symmetry and strength
and fraternity.
As the sen Srvtholord of life, as well as of light;
As his beauirP support all growth, supply all
raotioa
And call fcrtbul! the inttnlto dlYCruitied o l by-
So is Liberty to ms •alt.-f
Liberty ia tho aonroe, tho mother, the necos*
nary oonJSfion.
She ia to virtue what light ia to color,
To wealth what .sunshine ia to grain,
To knowledge what eyes tore to sight.
She is tho genius of invention, the brawn of
national strength.
Where Liberty rises, there virtue grows, wealth
increases, knowledge expands,
And the freer nation rises among her neigh-
Lors—taller and fairer.
Where Liberty emits, there virtue fades, wealth
diminishes, knowledge is forgotten,
And empires once mighty become a helpless
prey to freer barbarians.

Talking In Their Sieop.
< ‘You think 5 am dead, ”
Tho apple tree said,
“Because I have never a leaf to show,
Because I stoop
And my branches droop
Aiid the dull gray mosses over sao grow,
But I’m alive in trunk and shoot.
The buds of next May
I fold away,
But I pity the withered grass at my root.”
!, You think I am dead,"
The quick grass said,
“Because I have parted with stem and blade,
But under the ground
Ism safe and sound,
With the snow’s thick blanket over me laid.
I’m all alive and ready to shoot
Should the spring of tho year
Gouts dancing here,
But I pity the Lower without branch or root. ’*
“You think 1 am dead,”
A soft voice said,
“Because not a branch or root I own.
I never have died,
But close I Jffde
En a plumy seed that tho wind has sown.
Patient I wait through the long winter hours.
You will seo me again.
I shall luqgh at you then
Out of the eyes of a hundred flov.-crv. ”
—Edith H. Thomas.
Ambition Rules.
The miser hides his precious dust
For moth and thief and cruel rust.
The rich man gathers gold and land
Which spendthrifts Bcatter as the nuad.
Tho diver brings the costliest gem
To deck u princely diadem.
Death passes by—tho king is not,
And both aro by tho world forgot.
Ambition rules tho passing hour,
And truth is sold for place and power.
Tho truth endures. Power, place, are lost,
God counts a living soul the cost.
The warrior leads to conqu’ring strife
And buys a name with human life.
Tnr.o breathes upon his peerless fame,
And naught is found, not e’en a name.
Ambition rules the passing hour.
And truth is sold for place and power.
—Mrs. Calvin S. Brioe.
An Old Idea,
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is tho
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-live years ago this theory was need
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

|PMite Tax
Rate Increased.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 22.--The tax di
gests from 133 counties and estimates
made for tlie few others show a de
crease in the taxable property of the
state of $2,167,410 as compared with
off year’s figures. On account of this
slump the property owners of iiio state
will have to pay $1 more on the SI,OOO
this year to tiie state than they did
last year. That is, the increased tax
rate is partly attributable to this de
crease in values and partly to the ex
tra SIOO,OOO which is added to the com
mon school fund for this year.
The tax levy was promulgated by
Gov. Atkinson in conjunction with
the controller general to-day, the total
levy being 621 mills as against 5.21
mills for 1897—this is divided between
the tax for general purposes, 3.45 mills;
school fund, mills, and sinking
fund 2(5-100, the total taxable property
as shown by tho digests of the various
counties is $409,153,959.
“UNCLE SAM.”
In his presentation of a beautiful
flag to the Fourth Tennessee Volun
teers at Knoxville, August 12th, Gov
ernor Bob Taylor said:
“The most striking and picturesque
figure in all history is the tall figure of
a lean and sinewy old man with long
hair and chin whiskers and wearing
an old fashioned plug hat. His pan
taloons are in stripes of white and red,
and his blue swallow-tailed coat is
bespangled with stars, and we call him
“Lncle Sam.”
“He is the composite of the wildcat
and the cooing dove—the lion and the
lamb, tlie thunderstorm and the sum
mer evening’s hist sigh that shuts the
rose. He is the embodiment of all
that is tender and terrible. The world
stands appalled at his wonderful
strength and power, and yet bows in
admiration of bis matchless magna
nimity.
“He is the tallest individual on tills
mundane sphere, and when he steps
across the continent and sits down on
Pike’s Peak, and snorts in his hand
kerchief of red, white and blue, the
earth quakes and monarchs ternblc on
their tlirone3.
“From tlie peaceful walks of life he
can mobolize a mighty army in sixty
days and in ninety days he can destroy
a powerful nary and vanquish an em
pire.
“Ho is the boss of the Western Hem
isphere, sheriff of Cuba, justice of tlie
peace cf Porto Rico and guardian sui
litem of the Philippine islands. He
is as brave as Ctesar and as meek as
Moses,
“He is as fierce as a tiger and as
cool as a cucumber. He wears the tail
feathers of the eagles of France in hi
i hat; the scalp of Mexico dangles from
his belt. He launhs at tho growl of
Russian bear, and is always ready for
j a schooner of German beer. Ali I hat
j is left of Spain after her combat with
| Uncle Sam is her ‘lionah.’- No longer
the liu.n of England roars at our door,
but the twain now stand together for
humanity and liberty.”
