Painted and perfumed, feathered ami pink,
Here’s your ladyship’s fan ;
You gave it to me to hold, 1 think,
While you dance with another man.
Downy and soft like your downy hair ;
Pink like your delicate face ;
| The perfume you carry everywhere
Wafted from feather and lace.
Painted and perfumed, dainty and pink,
A toy to be handled with care ;
It is like your ladyship’s self, I think—
A trifle as light as air.
For you are a wonderful triumph of art.
Like a Dresden statuette ;
But you cannot make trouble for my poor
heart,
You innocent-faccd coquette.
For I understand those enticing ways
Y'ou practice on every man ;
You are only a bit of point and lace,
Like that delicate toy, your fan.

Some rascal with a tooth for sacha
rine sweetness evidently, entered the
back yard of Dr. D. W. Scott last
Friday night and robbed, one of his
heaviest bee gums. The theft was not
discovered until about noon Saturday,
and 'probably would not have been
at i.ll but for the uuusual commotion
noticeable among the bees, the thief
having placed everything visible bbout
the gum in their former position. The
Doctor is justly indignant, and it will
be a sorry day for the guilty party
should his identity be discovered.
We learu that Miss Nora Kimbell,
of Butts county, was the victim of a
painful accident last Saturday while in
attendance on the singing convention
at Bethany church. A party of lit
tle boys were riding their animals to
water, when a mule ridden by Oliver
Upchurch became unmanageable and
rau over the above named young lady
as she was endeavoring to cross the
road. Her iujunes though not serious
are repoited to be qu ; te severe and
painful.

We learn that a large proportion of
j the farmers in the north-eastern por-
I lion of the county, having raised their
supplies at home, are storing their cot
ton crop away. It being a surplus
crop they can afford to lay it aside and
risk chances on an advance. These
farmer friends are typical Amaricans,
the freest of the free, aud no illusion
ary dream of governmental appropri
; ation to help them care for their fami
lies ever disturb their placid equanim
ity.

For the information of those of our
readers who do not know what a clear
ing house certificate is, we publish the
following : The banks of a city get
together and form an association known
as a dealing house. This association
lias a manager and clerks, and they
meet once a day and square the banks
with each other in their ohecking and
drawing for the day. In this wav the
banks are away behind with the clear
ing house. Suppose one bank owed
SIO,OOO through the clearing house
certificates, this can be squared with
out the payment of a cent. This will
allow the indebted bank lo keep the
SIO,OOO in cash for the intermediate
use of its patrons.
Obituary.
Lucy Setzer, the beloved wife of
John J. Setzer, and daughter of M. Y.
and Mary Sowell, was born March 22,
18G8, and fell asleep in Jesus July 27,
1893. She was happily converted when
about twelve years of age.
• She was married October 31, 1888.
She lived a consistent member of Phil
adelphia church until the day of death.
She was brought up in the Sunday
School, her father being the ellicient
superintendent. In her father’s home
the voice of prayer was daily heard.
She was sorely afflicted several
mouths, and during that time was sus
tained by divine grace. She was char
acterized by patience and resignation.
Before her departure she talked freely
aud feeliogly about the future. A
sweet cairn rested on her spirit. It
was well with her soul. Atone time
her soul was so blessed that she shout
ed the praises of God.
She was an affectionate wife, a lov
ing mother, a kind neighbor and a de
voted servant of the Lord.
She leaves a husband and two little
children, but their loss is her eternal
gain. “They can go to her.”
Her funeral was preached by Rev.
T. F. Pierce, and her remains were
buried at Philadelphia church, to await
the resurrectiou of the just.

Volumus of long-winded, salty edito
rials have appeared regularly in the
Sparta Isbmaelite for a long time, but
your ’’Uncle Sid” has condeused more
good sound truth and wisdom in the
following short item than all his windy
productions combined:
“The Democratic party is all right,
but it has some faithless leaders.
Throw them overboard and select bet
ter ones. It is irrational to abandon a
good cause because some of its advo
cates prove treacherous. The treach
| ery of party leaders does not justify
treachery in the rank and file. Stand
by the party and its principles, and all
will be well in tbc end.”
The Gospel Tout,
Everybody lias heaii of the tent
meetings held at every ait tie town and
way station along the CauUal railroad.
These meetings, under control of Dr.
Blosser, have beeu attended I y large
concourses of people, alii it is much to
be hoped that great gpod has been
done. Many old who
had become cold and iAifiereiit were,
induced to renew their Sfeflwlvims to
live nearer the performjjince of theii
Christian obligations thanhad been
doing in the past. The upgtar ’.-as cer- j
tainly assumed a great ; spotisibiljly
in undertaking to run a machine of
such vast dimensions. The notoriety
of these tent convocations have spread
Dr ami u ide, and hundreds of men,
women aud children have been attract
ed to this great rendezvous, to see and
hear the result.
'The point of compass that is to de
termine the fearfulness ot responsibility
that is resting on the preacher may be
briefly summed up in o/i« question,
“Is he equal to the task lie lias under
taken to perform ?”
The wise man of whom we read in
the scripture said, “Tliert is a way that
seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof is death.’’ This peculiar state
ment of Israel’s most gifted king was
certainly not without its lesson of in
struction, intended for those to whom
it might apply.
It is by no means our design or in
tention to disparage the widespread in
fluence for good that is malting from
these popular meetings. If they are
uuder the divine sanction, and in ac
cord with the chosen instrumentality
of the great bead of the church, God
in love speed it on. Let the trumpet
sound, and the sweet chanting songs of
music that float out on Hie air call the
last wandering sinner to the crimson
fountain, and cry “Cl, why will you
die!”
The brightest, omen that is dawn- \
ing on the church of God is seen in
the fact that the people of God are
getting nearer together.
Roll on, sweet day, when all who ;
love God can meet around one common j
altar and unite our prayers aud
thauksgiving in one iyg>ersal song of
olory to God in the !*h<.- ,= V ycfice and
good will among all men !
VYe propose, at some time in the
future, to speak of the instrumental
music employed in connection with
these traveling tentmeetings.

Must aud Won’t.
A little boy once said to his mother,
when he found himsuil getting into
close quarters about something which
they disagreed over: “Don’t make me
do it, mamma : let me do it.”
It is easier to do a thing when they
will let us do it than it is when they
undertake to make us do it.
Little four-year-old Bud was playing
with his older sister, Ethel, when some
plaything from below was wanted.
“Bud you go down stairs and get it.”
The young man hesitated and looked
as if he was thinking. “Y’ou might
have said please.”
“But Bud, you mußt. I am the
mother aud I am the oldest, aud you
must obey me.”
The little child straightened himself
up and stamped his little foot, and said:
“Well, Ethel, if I must I won't.”
Bud had a great deal of human na
ture, aud Ethel was lacking in tact. If
the older brothers and sisters will put
on fewer airs and less authority, they
will get on much better managing their
little sisters and brothers than they
do when they try to show off their dig
nity. Batieuce and meekness help
much about managing little ones.

A correspoutent of the Macou Tele*
j graph has the following to say about
! M rs. Dixie Hay good, who is we'l
known in McDonough :
j Mrs. Annie Abbott, “the little Geor
j gia magnet,” better known as Mrs.
; Dixie Hay-good, has returned to the
j city, after a successful tour of nearly
! three years in Europe.
When Mrs. Abbott left here five
years ago and started on a tour over
America, she was kuowti to nobody ex
c«|it her circle of friends in this city
aud kiudred uud acquaintances in oth
er towns in Georgia. To-day she is i
one of the must famous women in
America and has probably a larger ac
quaiutance among the crowned heads
of Europe tliau any other American
' woman.
She w’l l bo remembered as the little
woman who developed a supernatural
| power over human strength. Enough
I men cannot get. about a chair or table
to move it when she touches it with her
fingers There is a magnetic influence
about her that has puzzled science in
every civilized country under the sun.
She has probably a dozen hooks, with
periodicals, from authors who have
tried to solve her power with some
sort of explanation, but the secret is as
mysteriously hidden as it ever was.
Her scrap hooks contain three thou
sand notices of her entertainments in
the old country. Some of them are
from magazines, some from humorous
publications, some from newspapers,
while there are score* of letters hear
ing the royal seal from kings, emper
ors, dukes, princes, and the whole cata
logue of European sovereigns. The
notices represent probably a score of
different languages, and shows that
the little Georgian has had the crowned
heads of Europe dizzy with her won
wonderful powers.
She visited all the cities of America,
including Mexico and Canada, and was
given tremendous receptions every
where she went. From New York
she was*, urged by English noblemen
and several other prominent English
men to go to England. They gave her
a mi'St flattering indorsement/which
she proudly keeps, urging tire people
of England to witness her Entertain
merits. She was in London for several
months, and during that time gave en
tertainments in nearly all of the pal
aces of that metropolis.
She wiiS presented with a photo
graph framed in a frame of gold by
the Prince uf Wales, while the queen
and several dukes and ducheses gave
her elegant presents in jewels, braco
lets, etc. The King of Greece gave
her an elegant portfolio writing pad,
beautifully mounted with silver, and
the nami-s of the royal family of Greece
•ngraved thereon. A Russian noble
man gave her his picture in a frame of
gold, and the Rothchilds of England
gave her 75 pounds for an entertain
ment at their palace.
She appeared before the Czar of
Russia, the Sultan of Turkey, the Ital
ian courtH, the nobles of Germany,
Spain, France, Switzerland and Egypt.
She gave exhibits in Damascus, Jeru
salem, Alexandria City, and on the
Island of Messina. *
She came home to visit her people
here and intends to remain as quietly
as possible until she is fully restored
from her trip. She aud her husband,
with two children will meet a Polish
count in New York next April and will
i sail again for the old country, then go
j to Poland.
Her success has been remarkable in
I building up a fortune as has been her
wonderful power over human strength.
| She says that the indorsements given
| her in New York by the Englishmen
gave her entrance to high circles, and

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Toor Brunswick.
1 Yellow fever has again brokeu out
in Brunswick. Tfco following special
-from that city appeared in Monday’s
Constitution :
Eleven now cases today, aud on
epidemic declared.
Such was the announcement made by
Colonel Goodyear at the board of health
meeting today, sending a thrill of hor
ror to the grief stricken Brunswickians
present.
Though prepared for this announce
ment by the publication today of the
result of the correspondendt's personal
investigations, the shock was none the
less. Many thought when today’s
issue was read that the correspondent
had overdrawn the situation in yester
day’s report and had delegated upon
himself prophetic powers without
warrant, but when my words were
written last night it was with conscious
ness that Brunswick was doomed to
destruction for the present, aud though
having no official announcement to that
effect, I endeavored to so word my tel
egraw that the people would read
between the lines aud leave their
plague-stricken city.
With heart breaking sorrow hundreds
hurriedly rushed to the traius this after
uoon, aud it will need no military force
to depopulate tho city.
Giving the Tiger a Bath.
When Pezon, the lion tamer, was
at Moscow with his menagerie, he had
occasion to employ a moujik, a tine
specimen of a to clean out the
cages of the - wild beast, Jlue Cossack
did not understand ft of Freuch
and tin) terms thq, c'Atracjj were
settled in * d»mb'*»how. By # tv&y of
instructing him in his ftfcw flulJeV, P«-
zoft went iliroiign a sort Ot patuornine
with a broom, sponge and water bucket.
Tho moujik watchod him closely aud
appeared fully to understand the
details of tho lesson given. Next
morning, armed with a broom, a bucket
aud a sponge, ho opened the first cage
he came to aud quietly stepped in, as
he had seen iiis master on tho previous
day into two cagos of harmless brutes ;
but tliis one happened to be tenanted
by a splendid but untamed tiger that
lay stretched on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised its
head and turned his green eyes full on
tho man, who, all unconscious of his
danger, stood in a corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket. At that
moment Pezon came out of his enravau,
aud was struck dumb by the terrible
sight that met his gaze. Wliut could
lie do to warn the man of his danger ?
A sound, a movement on his part might
enrage tho great beast and hasten its
attack on the defenseless Cossack. So
Pezon stood, awaiting developments,
ready to rush to tho sceue when the
crisis came. The moujik, sponge in
hand, cooly approached the tiger, and
made ready to rub him down with the
stolidity of a military bootjack polish
ing his captain’s hoots. The sudden
application of cold water to its hide
evidently produced a very agreeable
effect on the tiger, for it began to purr,
stretched out its paws, rolled over on
its hack, and complacently offered ev
ery part of its body to the vigorous
treatment of the moujik, who wont on
scrubbing with might ami main. All
the while Pezon stood there with his
eyes wide open and as if nailed to the
spot. When he had finished his jok
the < ossack left the cage as quietly as
I lie had entered it, and it required the
most energetic and expressive gestures
on the part of the lion tamer to prevent
his icpeating the experiment on a sec
ond wild beast.

5 CENTS A COPY
Sent Him to Congress.
The Congressman was telling stories.
“It was on me, once,” ho said : “I
had a friend who was a dry humorist,
but not always dry as a drinker, and
wheu he was full he did foolish things.
One of these was to buy a jackass for
SSOO, and when he sobered up and
know what he had done, he sold him
back to the original seller for S4OO.
Naturally the loss of a hundred made
him sore, and he did not like to be
twitted about it. One day I saw him
on a mule waiting in front of a store,
and I spoke to him. Ife was just full
enough to be serious.”
“‘Hello,’l said, and he responded
with a nod.
You are a judge of that sort of ani
mal you are riding, arn't you ?*
“ ‘I don't know that 1 am particular
ly so,’ he said earnestly.
“‘I thought you were in the busi
ness.’
“ ‘No. I ain’t.’
“ ‘Didu’t you buy a jack for SSOO
not long ago ?’
“The crowd that had gathered, gig
gled, and he looked more serious than
ever.
“ ‘Yes, I did,’ he answerod solemnly.
“‘What did you do with him?’ I
asked, with a wink at the crowd to be
ready.
“He looked at me solemuly.
“ ‘I helped to elect him to Congress,’
he said, without a smile, and the howl
that went up made me seek shelter in
the nearest place that could be found.
Another Dog Story.
The Boston Herald publishes this
dog story, in a special dispatch from
Lowell: , , ,
“LitUe‘Mollia .l<ihn*(in Is (nr' years*
old.
“ ‘Bob’ is a bull terrier pup, and
Mollie and ‘Bob’ think the world of
each other.
“Mollie was playing with matches
and her dress caught lire. It burned
rapidly, and the child became alarmed.
“ ‘Bob’ took in the situation in au
instance, rushed up to his mistress,
caught her clothing in his mouth and
tore it from her.
“ ‘Bobs’ head was badly burned, but
be still continued to bite otf mouthfuls
of the burning dress until help arrived
and the fire was extinguished.
“Mollie was badly burned, and lias
suffered a great deal of pain.
“ ‘Bob’ got his whiskers siuged, but
he has a mortgage on the furnily.”
She Set Him Right.
A confirmed old bachelor of most
exemplary habits living in his own
house, recently advertised for a hired
girl. lie received many letters, and
finally selecting one which seemed to
him about right he invited the writer
to call, and a very substantial woman
of about forty responded.
“You see, I want a careful woman
in my house,” he explained.
“I understand,” she replied.
“She must cook, wash aud iron,
clean up the house, attend to tny
clothes, sew on buttons, do repairing,
do marketing, attend the door, pay the
bills as they come in, and kindle my
fires in the morning.”
“Oh,” she said, as she rose to de
part, “you do not -want a hired girl;
what you want is a wife. Good moin
j ing,” and she very politely and pleas
antly walked out.
The cottou display at the World’s
i Fair has completely demolished the
