DRIFTING ONWARD.
Drift inf- onward—ever drilling,
Tow'rd von shining, shoreless sea,
Fail her still from earth's green landscapes.
Nearer to eternity.
Onward—yet we know not whither
We ire borne by time’s swift tide,
Heeding not the dang’rous river
Down wh.'se darkling stream we glide.
Drifting onward—we are going
To a country all unknown;
Guard, 0 Lord, and keep thou, ever—
Leave us not to drilt alone.
Shield us from the water’s perils,
Save from dark and angry storm,
Let thine arm of might defend us
Evermore from every harm.
Drifting onward—we will anchor
At the heav’nly port at last,
Every care and trial ended.
All our toils and dangers past.
Happy on that shore Elysian,
Nevermore shall storm clouds frown;
Oh, the bright, unfad ng vision,
Where no paling sun goes down!
—Francis A. Simkins.
The Masonic Fraternity.
Ihe following beautiful tribute to
Masonry recently appeared in the Rome
Tribune:
“It is only second to the church of
Christ, and approaches that very close
ly, because it is founded on the great
underlying principles of the universal
brotherhood of God.
“To fully appreciate the beauty of its
teachings and the sublimity of its faith
a man must be familiar with the inner
work of Masonry. And yet we are
constantly remiuded of the beneficent
influences of Masonry through its pub
lic charity, its care of sick and desti
tute brethren, and of the high moral
rectitude of all good and true members
of the order. Were every lodge in the
world suppressed and every member
ship dispersed, still men would treasure
its tenets aud teachings in their hearts.
“It teaches supreme faith in God,
which is the comfort aud stay of man
kind in every walk aud relation of life.
It teaches men to love one another aud
to consider all men born tqual, claim
ing one Fatherland in the supreme
Architect of the Uuiverse. It is the
most democratic of all iustitutious, as
all men mee, on equality in the bauds
of Free Masonry. It places every
member under the solemn obligation to
comfort the distressed and care for the
widow and orphans of such that have
passed beyond the sphere of mortal
helpfuluess.
“do where you may, in every land
under the sun, and even among the re
mote islanders of the sea, you will find
the light of Masonry illuminating the
lives of men with the secred radiance
which comes through the love of God
and the observance of the requirements
and obligations of an ancient order. It
has existed from time immemorial in
spite of ignorance, superstition, bigotry,
oppression and persecution, and it will
live so long as there remains a man on
earth who recognizes the brotherhood
of man and the fatherhood of God.
“Has Tuck Place.”
One of the best vaconteous in this
country is Rev. Charles Lane, the
Methodist preacher and teacher in the
the Technological school. Mr. Lane
was invited to deliver an address at
Monteagle. When he concluded
he l was approached by a
typical mountaineers who took him oil
to one side and said:
“Say doctor, how much you charge
to preach a funeral sermon?”
“Who’s dead?” asked Mr. Lane.
“Ain’t nobody dead,” replied the
mountaineer; “but pap, he’s mity low
an’ we’re looking for him to give up
most any minute. I’m gwine home to
nite an’ I’ll let you know how he is.”
The next day Mr. Lane received a
postal which said: “The ole man is
wuss I think he’ll make it.”
The following day a telegram reach
ed Mr. Lane, which said:
“The thing has tuck place. Come
at oncst.”
The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three fourths of
all our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suf
fering pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result
is this discovery of their Digestive Cor
dial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point ont the
way of relief at once. An investiga
tion will cost nothing and will result in
much good.

British Investors Apply for a Record
Breaking Mining Venture in
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Maich 6—One of the
most stupendous mining and develop
ment schemes ever undertaken in all
the history of Georgia is now on foot.
Yesterday Captain Eugene Freder
ick May Mayue, of Londou, England,
called on Colonel Allen D. Candler,
secretary of state, to consult him in re
gard to applying for a charter for the
company.
Colonel. Gaudier explained to him
that his jurisdiction did not extend to
mining corporations and that he would
have to apply to the courts for a char
ter. ,
The company is captilized at £1,000,-
000 sterling and the shares have been
taken largely by London capitalists.
With Captain Mayne was Captain
Hush, a mining expert sent out by the
share holders to look over the ground
aud to pass judgement on the charac
ter of the property. Cap'ain Mayne
has purchased aud secured options on
200,000 acres of gold bearing lands in
north Georgia and has obtained a char
ter from the authorities of Great Bri
tain and now wants an operating char
ter under the laws of Georgia.
The British authorities sent Colonel
Candler a lot of papers a few days ago
with the request to have them properly
recorded aud that the company would
remit the fees. Captain Mayne pro
posed yesterday to pay the costs in ad
vance aud to pay something extra for
clerk hire to have the work expedited.
Colonel Candler informed him that
the work would be done immediately
aud that the clerks wore prohibited by
law from receiving extra compensation
for such services
T he Englishmen seem to have ample
funds and both were enthusiastic over
the prospect of large returns from their
investment in north Georgia gold mines
aud they propose to begin operation at
once so soon as their charter is per
fected.
The Wedding Ring.
The associations called up by a wed
ding ring are very touching, and it is
the last thing that even the poorest wife
will part with. If it ever was consider
ed a badge of servitude, it now is much
more suggestive of queenship and sov
ereignty. An old Latin writer thus de
scribes the ring: It is circular, because
the mutaal love and hearty affection
of matrimony should be forever, their
continuity remaining as unbroken as
the circlet itself. It is an old—and ex
ploded —notion that the ring is placed
upon the fourth fmger because a small
artery connects with the heart. The
real reason probably is that the left
hand is not used as much as the right,
and the fourth finger less than the other
fingers.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15, 1897.—1 had
nervous prostration and suffered for a
number of years with backache, and
the doctors pronounced my case bright’s

A Pistol Practice In liutts. '
Tuesday night at a negro frolic on
Ike Slaughter’s place near Stark, the

A pretty Kansas girl has been ar

thereby causing him great confusion

A Tramp’s Story.
A recent telegram from Corsicana,
Texas, in speaking of tramps, says ;
The recent severe cold snap drove to
Corsicana several of the species of hu
manity known as the tramp. Like the
uufortunate element of society to which
he belongs, one came to the city day
before yesterday begging for the aid
which he thought a kind and consider
ate public should give him. He was
unlike mauy of these homeless wan
derers, who deserve no pity nor auy
one to care for them. He was depriv
ed of a part of one of his limbs; cruel
fate he said bad taken from him his
right arm, and he roamed here and
there to obtain whatever might be
given him. He visited the hotels and
receiving some assistance, related a
story which, if true, makes the man’s
career a very checkered one.
“Three years ago,” ho began, as a
crowd gathered around him. “I wag
a prosperous merchant in Indiana
That assertion may seem strauge, but
it was nevertheless a fact. I was sur
rounded in a pleasant home by a good
wife and happy family. Prosperity
did not agree with me I.paid frequent
visits to a city not many miles away
from where my business j was located,
and the fasc'nating poke? claimed me
as a victim It is too hkrd for me to
realize it now, but I have tested the
bitter cup of experience, and it is my
fault. I lost of course, ]j involved my
friends, and the result you may well
guess. My brave little wife and my
children, the pride of my life, are cared
for, lam humiliated to say, by her
father, and I presume that I have blot
ted and disgraced the name. But I
gave up my business and told my cred
itor to take it all. I went away to
start life anew, to turn over a new leaf,
but I found the world treated different
than when I had plenty of funds. I
applied at place after place for employ
ment in the line of work I was accus
touted to but I found no one who was
ready to give me a trial. I presume
my pride hurt me; anyway, it was not
a great while until I discovered that I
had no money nor auy place J
could go and receive help. It fvws *4
tryiug time with me, jAnd ? I becarai*
desperate. My sad fexpenence only
illustrates that I paid dearly for my
wrong doings. After being ejected
from a passenger train. I sought to
ride under the cars and on what is
known as the trucks. Not being ac
customed to such a position, I fell off
and the wheels passed over my foot and
my arm. I lay in the early morning
more dead than alive, and I wonder
now that I ever lived over the shock.
Since that short time ago I have felt
my pangs. I know now that lam not
aud cannot be of any use to any one. I
exist and that’s all. With me now it’s
the question of keeping breath in my
body. I am afraid to die. I have thrown
myself away, and when I am gone I
know that I will be sent to the potter’s
field, a thought which absolutely horri
fies me, yet I know I deserve it all.
“What is my name? I do not care to
tell you a lie, and I would not give you
my true name, so let that pass.
Where are my people? They still
live in ludiana. They are not rich.
In fact, it is an uphill task to provide
comfortably for the home now,” and
with this the man, who appeared to
possess more than ordinary intellect,
cast his eyes to the floor, stood for a
few minutes, thanked those who had
assisted him and walked out.
In Forsyth county, this state, last
week a man died and two of his neigh
bors went to sit up with the corpse.
During the night both were taken sick
and died within twenty four hours.
All three were buried from the same
house.
Six women and six men compose the
jury in an intricate divorce case now
proceeding in South Dakota.
A tramp called at a certain house
in this city yesterday and said to the
lady of the house. “If you will give
me something to eat I will saw you
some wood.” The lady complied, and
when she went out to see wbat had
been done, the tramp had gone, but
left these lines: “Tell them that you
saw me, but you didn’t see me saw.”

A Tribute to the Bible.
Says the New York Mail and Ex
press, in reply to the strictures of Col.
Hubert G. Ingersoll ou the Christian
religion:
“An organized government of athe
ists can never exist. All the restraints
and sanctions of moral obligations and
religious convictions would disappear.
The Bible is the charter of human lib
erty. It was out of this that Crom
well read aloud at the head of his
troops before the battle of Nasehy. It
was quilted into the doublet of John
Hampden, and saturated with his blood
when throwing his arms arouud the
neck of his faithful horse, he was borne
from the battlefield to dio. It came
over in the Mayflower. The first com
pact of constitutional liberty in that
ship was written upon its cover. It
had a place in every cabin which our
fathers reared in the wilderness. The
soldiers of the resolution carried it in
W Wt fnftfrtvres to increase its circula
tion. Washington laid his honest hand
upon it when taking his solemn oath of
office, aud all of his successors have
followed his example. It lies in every
court of justice to secure the sanctity
of oaths. An! to day the civilized
world is being instructed ou its beuefi
cent precepts. Without the Bible the
world would be a sepulcher of blasted
loves and blighted homes. Life would
be a kaleidoscope of meaningless com
binations; an unintelligible masquerade
of fleeting forms and vanishing thoughts.
Human selfishness would be supreme
and the strongest arm would rule again.
To Live Wlitle You Live.
Many a gem has been stolen by vice
from the casket of virtue and the above
expression is one of them. Though it
justly belongs to virtue it has for ages
shown brilliantly in the crown of vice.
For ages past “to live while you live”
was to lead a reckless life of drinking,
gaming and all manner of vicious deeds.
Is it so ? What is it to live ? Is it to
drink all night and have a dizzy head
all next day? Is it a feverish skin and
empty pocket, a desolate home and
aching hearts - '' To live fast and die
soon, to shed many bitter tears of re
morse before we fall into an uutimely
grave and have but few tears for us
when life is finished, is this life? If so,
the bottle and the gaming table are
the principal constituents of happiness,
and “to live while you live” means to
plunge headlong into all shapes of vice
until you reach the precipice and turn
ble over into vast eternity.
But to live means to get as much of
life as you can, to crowd into it as much
work, as many grand achievements and
to get as much honor and enjoyment as
you can, to have brains, blood and
limbs in the best working order, that
you may enjoy life as long as possible
Then “to live while you live” means
be good, be wise, be earnest, be sober,
be pleasant, be cheerful and thankful.
Then you will live much longer per
haps, and enjoy living more here and
still live in a glorious immortality when
passed away from the present life and
leave a record loved and honored by
your friends.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
What the Farmer Loses.
A Huut county farmer raises a bale
af cotton and hauls it to the gin.
He pays SI for the bagging and ties,
$2 for giuuiug aud then brings it to
town, where he pays the buyer 50cts,
the weigher 10 cents, drayage to the
compress 10 cents, compressing 60
| cents, freight to Rhode Island or Con
necticut $5. This foots up SB.BO
against the hale by the time it reaches
the factory. It is then made into
domestic aud other cottou goods and
sold to the large jobbing house at a
profit. Iho freight from the factory
jto the jobbing house adds au item of
expense. The jobber sells to the Hunt
county merchant and makes a profit,
and then the railroad gets another
whack at it in freight from New York
to the retailer. Not counting the profit
of the manufacturer and retailer, that
bale has been at an expense of about
S2O in its rounds. Hunt countv raised
for the season of 1895-96, in 'round
numbers, 24,000 bales of cotton, which
iu the unnecessary rounds, cost the
producers of this county the enormous
sum of SIBO,OOO. Cut the sura in half
and allow $lO per hale for Bhippiug
he manufactured article away and that
leaves $240,000. Half this sum, or
$5 per bale of one year’s crop, would
build a cottou factory in Iluut county
that could turn into cloth every bale of
cotton raised iu this and adjoining coun
ties.
Such a mill would employ hundreds
of men, and they and their families
would have to live from the farm.
With such conditions existing it does
not require an expert to figuro out
where the farmers’ profits would come
in—Hunt County News.

Cats Killed in ttie Pulpit.
The announcement that Rev. W. L.
Kaufman, assisted by Dr. C. E. Miller
at Cadillac, Michigan, recently, would
kill two cats in the pulpit at the Meth.
odist church to illustrate Kaufman’s
sermon on tobacco, was sufficient to
pack the church.
Prominent on the pulpit were pack
ages of hue cut plug chewing tobacco.
Kaufman contended in his sermon that
tobacco in any form was bound to fill
the user with nicotine and eventually
produce death. In tragic tones he de
clared that the Bpain of to day was not
the chivalric Spain of Columbus’ time,
because of the prevalant use of tobacco.
“Turkey,” be said, “is now fallen
low on account of its natural vice, to
bacco.”
lie proclaimed that France bad a
rapidly diminishing population on ac
count of the use of tobacco, and said:
“YVe of the nations the most ner
vous, can least of all afford to play fast
and loose with tobacco, the energy of
the body, the mind and the soul.”
Holding aloft a pound plug of tobac
co he assured his hoarers it contained
enough grains of nicotine to kill two
hundred men.
Then the cats were bought up by
I)r. Miller. An assistant held them
while the doctor admiuisted the nico
tine. The first one died in a minute
and a half, while the attendant held it,
after threo drops on its tongue. The
next cat, a large one, was administered
only two drops, the purpose being to
illustrate the sickness and spasms which
the first dose of tobacco creates. A
second dose of two drops was given,
and in a minute and a quarter the cat
was dead.
The Rev. Mr. Kaufman announced
that next Suuday he would kill some
more cats to shotv the effects of alcohol
and also have on exhibition the stom
ach of a drunkard.

coutribules the following religious item:
“Some time ago the negroes had a

brother was baptized in a seersucker
suit, and when the suit got wet it drew
up until his pants were above his knees.
A good old sister met him as he step
ped out of the water, grasped his hand
and asked him how he felt. The ne
gro hesitated as he looked at bis person
and said: ‘I—I feel like a darn fool.’ ”

meu out of the place, not permitting
one so much as to poke his bead in at
the door. She will piobably not be
permitted to open her “society” bar
