S^jg^k)
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svrup
Co. only, and we wish to imprest upon
all the importance of tke
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Svrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Fij*» has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe *or
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

THROUGH THE GATES.
Inscribed With Loving Sympathy to Miss
Luella McKibben.
The sun was bending toward the
west, and shadows lengthened under
the trees. A told of stillness lay over
the village that was barely rippled by
the occasional sound of a parsing wag
on. The negro cabins tumbling down
around the edge of the town were
sleepily alive with half naked black
babies and their rumiuatiug mothers,
and the random song of a ploughman
across the field increased the somno
lence.
There were three who went out for
a walk. They spoke little among one
another, for they, too, with the town
were quieted by the silence everywhere.
The three went down a long road and
under the pines aud then out into the
sun again on the side of a hill. A
house stood at the foot of the hill.
They stopped and looked down at it
Seveial people, men and women, stood
about the gate, or came out of the
door, and they seemed to be troubled.
As the three looked down they stopped
talking. They too were troubled.
And as one of them looked, there
came into her mind a memory as a
vision. She saw a woman lying on a
bed—resting. The woman had the
face of an angel already, and the look
in her eyes that those who know are
said to have. The woman lying there
resting (she bad been resting for many
weeks, while a rose at the step twice
bloomed and faded) kept her eyes on
a girl sitting by the bed. The girl was
reading a book of strange travels. And
as she read her eager desire ran for
ward to see the country the book told
of. A glow came from her heart to
her cheeks as she read of that beauti
ful country with its rivers of water aud
its trees and its kind homes in the
vallies. She did not know the tired
one was watching.
And she did not know—then —how
near she was at that moment, almost
to seeing, the most beautiful country
there is any record of. She held the
woman’s band and did not know the
great Gates were just then opening for
the tired one to enter. But the wo
man knew. The light of the lovely
city was, already shining on her face,
and she conld hear the touching of
wings over her. But she turned her
face from the Gate and looked at the
girl.
Then it happened, as if an angel bad
reached down and touched her, the girl
raised her eyes and met the look of the
tiled one. The book fell to the door.
She dropped on her knees beside the
woman—for the girl knew then. She
saw the light of the City in those eyes.
The three stood there on the hill
looking down at that old house with
its wavering group of troubled man
and women. Aud one of them said to
herself, “Shall I ever forget that look?”
And she thought again, “Not until
bfce jeeag man dees that Christ looked
on and leved;” and her heart went out
to a young girl that wept inside the
troubled bouse below them.
A man presently left the people at
the gate aad came up the hill. The
three stopped him and asked, “How is
she?”
“Almost gone,” he said, aod went
on toward the west.
The Gates were very wide then,
their effulgence glowed out over all
the town; but the young girl weeping
inside the house did not see the light,
and the one on the hill could not show
it to her.
Night fell. That'night fell with a j
stain and not a shadow; for when the
inn r##e the next morning, the black
ness was still aver that house. There
was the weeping there that morning

of hopelessness. The farewell had
b*en said which looks but dimly toward
a welc uue. V ery dimly through tears.
And the young girl wore a black dress.
She could not see the light; but it
was there, in fine, pale morning-beams
of almost unconscious hope. For it is
said t hat w li»*i»r-v*-r one leaves us to
enter LUe Gates they never quite close
again, but. we can J ( see a rav of

The soul is infinite. We «lo uot
know where its beginning was. It is
the breath of God. Iu its pilgrimage
of eternity aud the universe, the soul
seeks its own kind. Not for naught,
as a certaia great mart has said, does
this lace and not another make an in -
dellible impression ou my mind. Our
friends aud lovers are not accidents.
The soul goes seeking its kind, not
stopping by chance with this or that
company; but seeking its kind.
By strongest affinity the soul known
in life as mother, brother, lover, finds
its mate in child, sister, wife, and re
joices in a mutual recoguitiou. For it
is doubtless a recognition; not a discov
ery. Theu shall it bo strange if the
soul And that mate again in its universe
wide voyaging through a limitless
eternity of seeking?

A I’retty Letter.
Mr. J. Q. Nolan received the follow
ing pretty letter soon after the veter
aits’ reunion in Atlanta, which explains
itself, aud will not ouly be read with
much iuterest, bat highly appreciated
by his home folks :
“J. Q Nolan, Esq., McDonough,
Ga.—My dear Friend Nolan : “I feel
constrained to write you to tell you
how much I enjoyed those splendid
peaches, which your truly noble g ‘u
moßitv prompted you to gaud me. i
rrmptnbi r my father used to tell m
that in Ins day and time the owuers el
it e plantations used to have men posted
outside the front gaies to welcome
strangers to tbj hospitality of their
mas.eis’ roofs. 1 recogu'ze iu you this
same spirit of abundant aud gemerous
kindness, for not content with sending
me one crate ot peaches, you send me
Tx. You aud 1 both know that the
thing to prize most in a gift is the
thoughtful, utiselfi-h and friendly spirit
that prompts it I therefore have to
thank you twice, both tor the magnifi
cence ot the gilt i'sell aud for the tail
der spirit which induced you make me
to enjoy the peaches themselves.
“1 believe 1 understand well enough
what manner ot man you are to know
you do expect expressions of apprecia
tion trora your friends, f.r the gifts
you make to them, but I cauuot re
train from telling you how much and
deeply I appreciated not only this t s
timonial ot your friendship for myself,
but also to thank you earnestly aud
sincerely for the many other acts of
kindness to me so generously and often
display ed by you. I want to congrat
ulate, compliment and thank you for
the splendid matiuei in which you
carried out the arduous and difficult
part you found yourself compelled to
take in an institution in which you
were but an infant member so to speak,
the scope aud plan of which you scarce
had time to ascertain. I tell you*
speaking for the State of Georgia, I
was proud of you. You more than
eclipsed my fondest expectations. You
not only acquitted yourself handsome
ly, but you reflected great credit
on the State. For all that you did I
shall ever feel grateful to you, and feel
under lasting obligations to you I
have today appointed Messrs. Smith
and Stephens of your camp the com
mittee to see that the papers publish
your speech in full. The only reason
it was not published at the time was
due to a mistake on my part. The
reporter came to me about it, and 1
told him to see you and get the copy
you had, and he promised to do so,
and I thought he had seen you. As a
matter #f fact he did try to find you,
hut could not do so.
“I want you to thank each and every
member of Camp Zachry for mo on
the splendid showing made by them
individually and as a camp while here.
Their appearance was only equalled
by the two camps in the city, one of
which is the oldest in the State, and
the other was practically formed from
the muster roll of this the pioneer
camp. I consider the showing made
by your boys a remaikable illustration
of their energy, ambition aud enter
prise. I commend them for it most
heartily. Please Keep up the work
aud interest, and let me hear from you
from time to time, and when you come
to the city, come right into my office
and just use it as your own. Give my
kindest regards to Mr. Stephens and
Mr. Smith and all the other boys, and
with my kindest and best wishes for
yourself I am always sincerely your
friend, H. N. Randolph.”
