.1 ! MSI* i L Beginning w : th the afternoon of the tenth of October the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies will observe jointly their annual week of thanksgiving and prayer at the Methodist church. The ob ject of these meetings is to dif fuse missionary knowledge, culti vate the missionary spirit, and to bring home to the hearts of the workers the blessings that they ar^ striving to shed into" other lives. The ladies of thes ties cordially invite their friends to meet with them. There is lit t j e of routjpe about these pr - grumes , and the exercises are .x. ten ded to be so broad in spirit that there shall be no suggestion o f anything denominational, since m ( i woman’s work for women, 5 J all Christian churches are at one. The meetings will occupy five af ternoons—two of which will be devoted to the foreign work, two to the home missions, and the fifth to a consecration service in which all are asked to take part. When this paper appears the District Missionary Conference will be in session in Thomasville. We hope that, many ot our read ers will be there. The programes are very interesting and helpful. There is much to be learned and much to be enjoyed in these times of meeting with the women from other parts of the district. Let every worker who reads these lines, at least give her bit of help, by saying a fervent prayer for guidance and wjsdom to be given these who are to take part m the exercises. NOT LOST. It is not for us to think that that is lost which is not public recognition. The most sacred things are the things about which men are most reticent and silent The seed does not fall in the earth with any noise; it falls as silently as the dew, and in the si lence it takes root and sprouts and grows, and one day far hence, perhaps, bears it full fruit. Could we hear seed fall, our harvests grow, we might then expect that t he good deeds which sanctify and beautify and happify life would be heard in* mellow music. Inas much as such things are not heard, let us not expect that life’3 truest and fullest service will find ex pression in sound, in report, and in “resolutions” printed in the press.—Selected. Sometimes in spite of fhe en couraging tidings from every quarter of the field, the home workers grow a little discouraged, and wonder why, it is, that the coming of the kingdom cannot like the spread of light, a swift f dlowing a single ./Command of the Lord. It has been said that although God could evangelize the . world without the assistance of man, it has not pleased Him to so arrange the plan of salvation. The redemption of men comes al ways, directly or indirectly through wisdom human intervention. The of this plan shows in the fact that as Dr. Drummond has said, that “Work is given to men not only nor so much perhaps, be cause the world needs it. Men make work, but work makes men. 5 5 God answers prayer; sometimes w T hen hearts are weak, He gives the very gifts believers seek. But often faith must learn a deeper rest, And trust God’s silence when he does not speak; For he, whose name is Love, will send the best. Stars may burn out, nor mountain walls endure, But God is true, his promises are sure 1 o those who seek. —Myra Godwin. A Very Remarkable Remedy. a It is with good deal of pleas a ure and satisfaction that I recom mend Chamberlain’s Colic, Chole J’u and Diarrhoea Remedy,” says I°rd, Druggist A. W. Sawtelle, of Hart Conn. It Recently a gentle man came into my store so over come with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave him a dose of this remedv and it help mi him. I repeated the dose and m fifteen minutes he left my store smuingly f“lt informing me that by he " as well as ever.” For Bale ight & Brow ne. mm Killed His Rattler. Gome weeks since, the G i j | captured z -fold of a large rattlesnake j by Mr. Henry Shan non, of Funder, which he was keeping captive until he had a chance to sell it. \ arious things were tried to tempt the rattler's appetite, the most successful being a live rabbit, which he ate readily. Last week in the woods near his home, Mr. Shannon caught! j a live chicken snake and put it I * n a sac ^ t0 ^ ee< ^ to Kis rattler.! j 0n his wa > T home he found a j king snake, this too he caught and took along, although it was not a good day for snakes. - | 'l he king snake was put in j the sackwith the chicken snake, ! when he arrived home and empt ied them out, only about six inches of the chicken snake’s tail was sticking from the king snake’s mouth. But the motion of travel must have turned his kingship’s stomach for he did the whale act, and the chicken snake recovered his liberty. Both reptiles were put in the the cage with the big rattler and a day and night later, when Mr. Shannon took a look at his snakes the chicken was gone, the big rattler dead and the king snake was monarch of the pen The singular part of the oc curence is that the rattler was about ten times as long as the king snake, and how the latter managed to overcome, him is a mystery. The big fellow must have put up a fight well worth looking at before giving up the ghost.—Tifton Gazette. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be suppris ed at the great popularity of Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectu ally and permanently, but pre vents these diseases from result mg in ] eumonia. It is also a certain cure for croup. Whoop ing cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful sub stance and may be given as confi dently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideration it is not supprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this rem edy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

A small newsboy, who had picked up the stump of a cigar stepped into an up-town gro cery shop, says the Philadelphia Press. it Say, mister, give us a match?” he said to the man be hind the counter. We do not give away match es ; we sell them,” the clerk re plied. boy. How much?” said the << Cent a box,” was the reply. Diving down into his pocket, the boy produced the cent, say ing, “Gimme a box.” Receiving the matches, the youngster proceeded to light his cigar, and then, leaning across the counter, he handed the box of matches to the clerk and re marked: it Say, mister, you jes’ take these here matches and put 'em where they’ll be handy, and when some other gentleman steps in and asks fer a match don’t you sell him a box, but jes’ give him one on me. And with a dignified air the boy walked out of the shop. Many Mothers of a Like Opinion. Mrs Pilmer, of Cordover, Iowa, says: “One of - my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the giving of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy promptly, always brought relief. Many mothers in this neighborhood think the same I do about this remedy and as kind for their want no other Wight & children.” For sale by Browne. vow 4mttm fee / 8lok^ri)tck “Elastic” Bookcase and Desk combined.
