THE DOUGLAS BREEZE.
VOL. IX.
if.
brief and breezy.
Then Life Would Be Divine.
If those who whine weuWl whistle
And those who languish laugh.
The rose would rout the thistle.
The grain outrun the clmS.
If heart# were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not, _
Then love would kneel to duty,
' And all the world would soeiu
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream. *
If niim would cease to worry
And women cease to sigh
And afl be glad to bury
Whatever has to dlo.
If neighbor spake to neighbor
As lovflfclemands of all.
The rust would eat the saber.
The spear stay on the wall.
Then every day would glisten.
And every eye would shine.
And God would pause to listen,
Anilife would be divine.

Broxton, on Hi# Hill.
We have made two visits to this
beautiful ligje place wLhin the month
and find it full of clever peep e, vim
and life.
.Mr. Jesse Lott, and his estimable
family, pioneers of that country, art
naturally the ones we first look for and
who always gave us a hearty welcome.
Je.s3e Lott’s name will live long after
he is gone, for his deeds of kindness to
his fellow man are too numerous to
enumerate.
The Lott Bros, have bought out Per
kins & Lott and ha ve spoken for space
in the Breeze in which they will tell
the people in a short-while where they
can find cheap goods at bottom prices.
Clever young men, they are, and we
wish them success.
Dr. lijckelson, a first class physi
cian livts at Br xtou, has a good prac
tice and is an all-round gentlemen,
but on account of the heal till uluess <4
me section is not making m< re than
$5,000,000 a year.
Mcss:s D. J. Mashburn & Son, har
ness makers are doing a, good business
in their line, making and repairing,
and they deserve i*, for their work is
all right and they arc reliable.
Lawrence Newbern, noted for his
good looks and hospitality was rolling
logs, and for the lack of time we were
not able to help him —-time was all we
Wanted.
Broxton is a model little town, and
has grown wonderfully, has a good
school, sixty five scholars, two teach
e*t,and a good prospect, fur growth.
In addition to this, there is preaching
twice each month by Bro. Dickinson,
with Sunday school every Sunday.
Mr. Parson is not a preacher, hut
the village blacksmith, doing a line
business. Ho makes a specialty of
doing good work and is therefore busy'
Tom Young is postmaster, and is
the same clover old chap we know ten
years ago.
We met other friends, andsawother
sigi)3 of improvement that will be
mentioned in future, for as Judge Dait
was ready to leave lie hustled us off
before we bad time to spit in pur hand
and run a foot race with our old friend
D. J. Mashburn. Wc’il see him latter.

Other merchants continue to fight our low prices
so long as they live, but they will siever get under
them nor rout them out.
We do not pretend to know It all, but what we do
know is at your service. We always give the best
we can for the very least money possible.
The greatest advantage we have in selling for the
cash, is that we can also buy for cash, and in
buying for cash we get jods cheaper and also sell
them cheaper than so-called “bargain houses.”
