KNDLKSS DAY.
What though the world he drearv.
What though the gloomy night
Shall end in clouds and darkness
The day that dawned so bright!
However sad our lives may he,
Time seems not slow, once past,—
However long the night be,
The morn must break at last.
What though the rose be cankered,
That blushes sweet and fair,
What though the face so smiling
May hide a heart of care!
However sad our hearts be,
Some good they elill contain;
However great our care be,
We bear it not in vain.
sso live we bravely, firmly,
\\ itb smiles insteod of tears,
Content to work for others
Throughout our life’s brief years;
So wait we trustful, hopeful.
Till breaks that endless day,
When thorns shall bloom as roses,
And shadows fade away.

11l Meiiioriaiu.
Mrs. Eliza B atrice Lovorn.nee Miss
Knight, was born July the IKb, 1877,
and peacefully passed away January
the 17th, 1897, at her home near Flip
pen, Henry county, Georgia.
She was converted when a child and
joined the Methodist church, and lived
a Christian life. She was afflicted three
long months, but was never heard to
complain during her sickness. She
was a great reader, and read many good
books besides her bihle, which was her
constant companion during that time
The best medical aid was given, but it
did no good, for her Good Master
wanted her for some other purpose, we
know not what.
Hers was truly a life formed and
fashioned in the likeness of her Heav
enly Father. She will he greatly
missed by her husband and a large
circle of friends aud relatives.
She was married to Mr. M. H. Lov
oru Nov. 10th, 1895. They lived
peacefully together until the One who
doeth all things well called her up
higher to join the angels, to praise His
holy name. Her gifts and graces of
mind were many; her piety beautiful as
it was simple; her life blameless and
useful, and her future immortal. We
feel that the world was made better by
her having lived in it. She needed no
dying testimony—h»r life was enough.
Her daily walk was one worthy of tm
itation. Never was an unkind word
spoken by her about anything, always
cheerful and trusting in tbe promise, of
her blessed Savior.
We are left to mourn her loss, but
we mourn not as those who have no
no hope, for we will shake hauds with
Beatrice on the other shore, for she
was prepared to meet her Heavenly
Father. For several times during her
sickness she was asked if she was
ready if He was to call her, and she
always answered, “I am.”
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. F. S. Hudson, witnessed by a large
congregation, and then her remains
were laid to rest in the Fltppen ceme
tery, there to await the resurrection
morn- One Who Loved Her.
A Genius.
At a Luton school the other day a
teacher, having asked most of his pu
pils the difference between an island
and peninsula without receiving a sat
isfactory answer, came to the last boy.
“I can explain it, sir,” said the
bright youth. . “First, get two glasses;
fill one with water and the other with
milk. Then catch a fly and place it in
the glass of water. That fly is an is
land, because it is entirely surrounded
by water. But now place the fly in
tbe glass of milk and it will be a pen
insnla, because it is nearly surrounded
by water.”
The boy went to the top of the class.

A String for Supper.
Some nights ago some intoxicated
persons met at a certain man’s house in
the upper portion of of the county for
the purpose of participating in a mid
night supper consisting of chicken and
dumplings. While it was being pre
pared some one in the crowd threw a
small ball of knitting thread into the
put unnoticed. Soon afterwards they
sit down to supper and began to eat.
In a little while tbe ball of thiead
landed in one of the boys’ stomachs.
The end of the thread was seen stick
ing out of his mouth by one of the
crowd, who grabbed it and commenced
to pull. This caused a tickling in tbe
stomach and the way that man heaved
while the end of the string was being
pulled and tbe amount of fun it caused
can better be imagined than explained.

Hampton's new paper, the Herald,
reached us last week. It is edited by
Mr. J, S. McKown, who promises to
give the good people of that place a
creditable and interesting home paper.
From it we gather the following items :
Mr Walker Carmichael, of McDon
ougb spent Tuesday here.
Mr J. C. Tarplev, onr efficient and
popular Post Master, made a flying
trip to Atlanta Monday.
Mrs. Couch, of Senoia, is visiting
here this week, the guest of her daugh
ter, Mis. H. T Moore. •
The colored people of the town have
completed their new school house,
which is a very creditable building.
The many friends of Mr. J. L. Ed
wards will regret to learn that he is
very ill at his home near town, suffer
ing from nervous prostration.
We have had several new families to
move into town recently to take advan
tage cf the splendid educational facilties
Hump on’s schools offer.
Keep an eye on Hampton. She is
steadily growing. She already does
more business compared to her size
than any town in middle Georgia.
Mr. W. 11. Harris is making some
improvements ou the grounds around
his beautiful home. He is also build
ing a neat 5 room cottage on Church
street which, when completed, will be
for reut.
Mr. Author Wynn, who was serious
ly injured several weeks ago, by falling
from and being run over by a pole car
on the Central railroad near the shan
ties, is improving. His friends hope
that he will soon recover.
Little Annie, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Calloway, died Tuesday at
their home near town. She was a
bright and sweet little girl three years
of age, and will be sadly missed by her
grief stricken parents She was laid
to rest in Lebanon church cemetery at
4 o’clock yesterday.
Rev. F. L. Adams, of Tullahoma,
Tenn., preached two most excellent ser
mons at Berear church last Sunday at
the morning and evening services.
His earnestness and eloquence carried
conviction to the hearts of many in the
congregation. Rev. Adams was reared
near here and has a host of friends
who always welcome him in onr midst.
There was quite an exciting scene
about the store of Mr. J. W. Turnip
seed yesterday caused by the unusual
capers of a spirited hoise, belonging to
Mr. J. M. Roan, of Lovejoy, which
took fright at some imaginary object
and running away, headed straightway
for, and entering the south side door of
the store passed through and out the
north door. There was no one hurt,
nor did the contents of the
store suffer. The only damage
done was to the buggy and harness,
which were considerably torn up.
On Friday of last week at the home
of Mr. Patrick Sullivan, near town,
occurred the death of his eon, Oscar,
from the effects of that dreaded disease,
Typhoid fever. This was indeed a sad
death, as the victim was only 16 years
of age, just entering upon young man
hoods estate, and was an especially good
boy, liked by both old and young, for
his many ennobling qualities. Tbe fun
eral and burial services were held at Le
hanon church, Saturday at 3 o’clock p.
m. We extend our sincerest sympath
ies to the bereaved family.

What use is there in eating when
food does you no good—in fact, when
it does you more barm than good, for
such is the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural
strength and cause the food to be di
gested, when an appetite will come, and
with it a relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you
will pot flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by tbe Mount Lebanon Shak
ers contains food already digested and
is a digester of foods as well. Its ac
tion is prompt and its effects perma
nent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
Jias all the virtues of Castor Oil and is
palatable.

Seven New Congressmen.
Georgia has seven new members in
congress, who aro uninitiated in the
ways of Washington life, whom the
New York Herald sizes up in a raev
way as follows: •"A*' * ; •
Clay, Alexander Stephens, of Ga..
commonly known as “Steve,” strong
silver Democrat; remarkable for his
pompadour hair, smooth face, gray eyes;
beats his hands together as he talks and
goes to church.
Griggs, J*s. M., renowned through
out Georgia as a good story teller;
social, a good lawyer and was on the
bench when elected to congress; is a
thorough politician; served in the legis

faced; is rich, aud served in the legis
lature; is a democrat.
Adamson, W. C. ( affects eccentricity
in dress; stands in with the horny
handed eons of toil; no doubt about his
being a granger; a young man and a
democrat; will be very uneasy in his
seat in congress, because the present
governor of the state is said to have his
eye upon it for the future.
Howard, Wm. M., brother in law of
the late flenry W. Grady; is a vouug
man, smooth faco, small of stature;
brilliant lawyer; was solicitor general

News very scarce theie times, espec
ially with a farmer. The most us seem
to have the blues. We will just say by
way of consolation, “Be still, sad heart,
and cease repining, for behind tbe
clouds the sun is still shining.”
Wheat in this community is lookiug
fine for the time of year.
Corn plantit g t'mq and the far
mers should look well to this important
crop.
There is another very important crop
the former should not neglect, and that
is cane. One eighth of an acre of good
laud will make 50 gallons of fine syrup
(we mean ribbon cane.) That will be
worth S2O 00, besides you get several
hundred bundles of fodder off the
stalks.
Cotton is also a very important
crop, and we should look well to that
and plant all we cau conveniently cul
tivate, for it is tbe only crop that we
can pay debts with, and b far clothes
and a few other things.

There was a terrible wind and rain
storm here last Friday. The raio

damage was done.

THK LUCK OF A TKNDKKFOOT.
How Fortune Smiled on a Terrified
Miner.
John B. Sargent, of San Francisco,
who has been in the Kootenay mining
district for the past two months, tells a
remarkable story of the way a tender
foot from Montreal discovered a gold
mine in that far away mining region.
The young man who was a clerk, was
spending a few weeks with a friend en-
gaged in milling, anu put in his time
fishing apd hunting. The location of
his friend’s cabin was far up toward
the prospector, and in a section whore
the bears were not only numerous, but
inquisitive and troublesome.
When both men were away from the
cabin it was necessary to carefully close
up all the openings, as the hears had
an unpleasant habit of climbing into
the cabin, and besides getting away
all the provisions in sight, playing foot
ball with the cooking utensils. The
hears were of the common brown varie
ty, none of them very large, aud were
uot considered dangerous—in fact,
their worst trait of character was the
familiarity which bred anger, rather
than coutempt. One day as the two
friends returned from a hunting excur
sion they saw three hears investigating
the sunoundings of the cabin, occa
sionally stopping to roll about a camp
kettle which had been thoughtlessly
left outside.
Both men were armed with rifles,
and as they succeeded iu getting near
the animals without being perceived,
were able to take deliberate aim. As
they delivered their fire, two of the
bears fell, the third scampering off up
the mountain. As they supposed both
animals dead, they neglected to reload,
and had approached to within a few feet
of the prostrate hears when the largest
suddenly sprang to his feet and, with a
fierce roar, made directly for them.
Now the young man from the city
hail never cultivated a close acquaint
ance with the bear family, and did the
first thing that occurred to him—drop
ed his weapon and sprinted for the
nearest tree, about 100 yards away,
and growing on the edge of a gulf 12
or 15 feet deep. The bear stepped a
few seconds to sniff at the rifi-*. and
then contemptuously tossing it aside,
continued the chase. The hunter
reached the tree and had climbed to the
lower limbs when his pursuer reached
it, and without any hesitation com
menced the ascent. This was some
thing that the amateur huntsman had
uot calculated upon, and at once pro
ceeded to climb higher, in the hope
that bis antagonist might get tired and
give it up. The tree leaned somewhat
over the ravine, making the climbing
easy, but the fact favored the hear as
well, and when near the upper branch
es the young fellow fouud to his dis
may that the hear was entirely too close
for comfort. At that moment, bow-
ever, his friend, who had recovered
from his fright and reloaded, shot the
animal through the head.
Now another danger manifested it
self. The combined weight of the
mau and the bear had been too much
for the slender hold of the roots of the
tree upon the soil, and as it leaned fur
ther over the gulcb it became evident
that unless he could scramble down
the man would be thrown upon the
rocks at the bottom. Clinging to one
limb after another, he made desperate
efforts to get down, but before he had
accomplished more than half the dis
tance the last root gave way, and there
seemed to be nothing between him and
death or serious injury. His grip clos
ed apon the limb to which he was cling
ing. and in another moment the top of
the tree rested on the bottom of the
ravine, while the thoroughly frighten
ed man dropped upon the carcass of
the dead bear, himself almost dead with
fright.
But the strangest feature.of the ad
venture was that in tailing over the
tree had removed the earth from a four
foot vein of rich quartz, the existence
of which had been entirely unsuspect
ed- Now the young man from Mon
treal is a homey-handed miner, making
a good income out of bis claim, which
'he has named “The Boar.”—Denver

Man—And How to Treat Him.
I!Y A IIOK3K.
When a man finds his load .too heavy
and feels that it will seriously strain
him to proceed, or if he drops from
sheer exhaustion or illuess, promptiy
seize an eud board or a cart stake and
pound him on the head and on the ribs.
If this does uot recuperate him kick
him violently in the belly. This treat
went will restore him if persistency ad
ministered, will give renewed energy,
aud he will make no more fuss. But
do not, on any account, reduce the
load, that would look to much like
common sense, or humanity, and he
will probably never balk again when
overloaded.
If a man refuses to drink when you
offer him water don’t give him any for
two days. That will “teach” him to
be thirsty at any time you find it con
venient to water him.
If it is not perfectly convenient to
feed a man who is working for you at
noon let him go without, and, by ac
tive use of the whip secure as much
work as the food would have secured.
Of course it wears out his vitality and
distresses him, but that is no matter.
It is a good plan to ply the whip fro
quently ou a man who is at work. No
matter if he is doing his best, hit him
now and then ou “general principles”
aud to prevont him taking any comfort.
If his load is not heavy oblige him
to go enough faster to make up for it.
Work him hard enough to bring down
the average life of mau one half, as is
doue with us the uufortunate hoises.
If no whip is handy use a club.
Tie your man’s head back in an un
uatural position, with his eyes toward
the sun. This will give him a “fine
appearance,” and “prevent him from
stumbling.” Of course he will not be
able to do much work in this position
but it makes him look smart, so it’s all
right.
In winter remove his clothing to
prevent his talcing cold, lie will also
“dry quicker” when you work him.
You must hang a blankat on his back
but leave his neck aud limbs exposed
—when he's not at work. Men thus
treated are “much healthier” than
when allowed winter clothing.
Put tight shoes on yonr man and
keep them there until he is very
lame with corns To change his shoes
often costs money; not much, but some,
and lameness and misery are of no ac
count if you can save a few shillings’
worth of shoes in the year.
When you hire a man do not be
hampered with any silly, humane no
tions. Get all you can out of him.
True nobility consists in getting money
not in decency, or kindness, or what
some noodles term “character.” Get
money even it is all blood stained.
These are correct principles, I am
sure, for I learned them when a colt
from my master, who treated all bis
horses in this manner.—lerseyman.

“Of course. That’s news.”
“An', say, I’ve got one of the finest

March, April, May.
Almost every one has come to be
lieve that March, April aud May is a
season that brings derangements. This
relief is au old one, is nearly universal,
aud has arisen, not as the result of the
teachings of the medical fraternity, but
has been learned in the bitter school
of experience. Depression of the ner
vous system at the approach of spring
is a fertile source of blood impurities,
—general lassitude, dull, heavy sensa
tions, coutinual tired feelings, with ir
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep.
Peruna meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculiarities. Peruna
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and procures regular sleep. That tired
feeling which is the natural result of
the depressing effect of warm weather
immediately after the iuvigoration cold
of winter, quickly disappears when
Peruna is taken. Thousand are daily
testifying to its priceless benefit.

An Kxpenslve Opinion.
Robert lugersoll, who is coming to
Chicago with a new lecture, is fond of
good books. During one cf his visits
to Chicago he and a friend went to one
of the big book stores on Wabash ave
nue to examine the treasures on the
shelves and counters. They had roam
ed around the establishment discussing
history, romance and theology, and fi
