Tender and sincere is the sympathy that goes out to the (list ess fam 1 from many hearts in Ellav die. The Best Blood Remedy C. A. Tompson. Seymour lnd writi : My sist> r Jennie when she was a void g girl, suffered from white swelling width greatly impaired her general health an I made her blood very impuie. In the spring she was notable to do anything anb could semady get ai>out. More than a year ago sin* took three bottles of Bo tanic Biood Balm, and now she is per fectly cmvd.” Americus’ tribute to her sleeping hero es last Wednesday was indeed tender and beuiiful. It was easy to imagine that the veil of accumulated years bad been brushed aside and that we stood in the misty past with the dying note of the bugles call and the soldieis last tat too sounding in ou< ears such a spin of l *ya devotion animated the large crowd. The address of Mr J P. Rons was the most touching and eloquent to which we’ve ever listened and it stired every heart to purer patriotism and no bier sentiments of brotherly love, for a reunited country. It was our pleasure to spend two days with friends and each vi it we make to Americus viewing her magnificent buildings, her lovely drives, and beautiful homes but increus- s our fa:tu m her future prosperity, i mun cial failures and other things may impede her progress for a lime, but she is destin ed tojlfjh dit'ngui agr-at city, and is sine to cum oui t.i the end Sunday school convention Following is the programme of t e SabLaih seli.H.l convention of tlie Friend ship association, to la held with ti e Friendship Baptist church, Sumter coun iv. on Wednesday and Tliursdav, tie 2lth and 25th of May.

One of the most astute business men in New York city, who has through his own efforts built up an enormous estab lishment, and who gives employment to hundreds of men, some of them at very large salaries, told me lie had very little difficulty in finding the right kind of men for any department of his work. I was surprised to learn this and asked him what was the secret of his success. He said: “I have men to whom I pay as much as £(>.IHK) a year. I have sometimes been disappointed in my selection of helpers, but as a rule I never fail to get the kind of a man I want. My first rule is to se lect for experienced help only the men who have succeeded in what they have undertaken. “No matter how prepossessing a man may be, how taking in appearance or in apparent qualifications, I never engage him,” he added, “if 1 find lb.:it he lias made a failure in anything. On i /'oth er hand, no matter how plain and un prepossessing a man maybe, if I lean from liis story that lie has been promoted step by step: that he has always re mained in a place until he was advanced, and that every change he made was a change for the better, I engage him m once. Such men never (lissappoint me.’ —New York Mail and Express. Ice In tho Government Utiililintjs. One gets a vivid notion of the magni tude of the departments from the va t quantities of ice and coal which are re quired to quench the thirst of the 23.001 clerks and keep them warm. The treas ury consumes a ton and a half of ice daily, taking an average tlie year round An equal quantity* is used in the war. state and navy building. But tlie de partment of the interior is the great do vourer of ice. Including the pension of fiee, it gobbles.up from five to six toils every 24 hours. The quantities utilized are variable Each department makes its own contract for ice, bids being advertised for annual ly*. No definite amount to be provided is agreed upon. The contractor gets as much for supplying all the frozen water required, whatever it may he. All the departments, together with tlieir branch es, consume 24.000 pounds every day.— Wasliington Star. 1 Play lletter Tliun Gj itoii>stu-s. The pre-eminently recreative exercise is piny.
