I cannot tell how it might be In other homes—but this I know: Could my dear grandmother come to me, That she would never find it so. I am slowly learning from day to day In all life’s tasks to bear my part; But whether grave or whether gay, I hide her memory in my heart. Fond, faithful love has blessed my wav, And friends are ’round me true and tried; They have their place—but her’s to-day Is empty as the day she died 0,1 would spring witu bated breath And joy too deep for word or sign, To take mygrandmother home from death And once more call her mine* I dare not dream—the blissful dream, It fills my heart with wild unrest, And in the cold, cold grave She still must slumber—God knows best. But this I know, that those who say Our best beloved would find no place, Have never hungered every day— Through days and months— for one sweet face. Mattie Scarborough. Wellston, Ga. In Memory Mrs. T. P. Perdue. Written for the home journal. A little over two months ago death’s angel visited and summon ed from us one we loved, but the One that doeth all things well and knows best, has claimed her soul for his glorious Cabinet above. She had been in bad health for a longtime, but was confined to her bed only two weeks before she died. She bore all of her afflic tions with the utmost modesty, awaiting the final call of her Heavenly Father. Alas 1 the hour came on the morning of February 23rd, 1901, and her soul passed from time to eternity. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was about 52 years old and had lived in Houston county, Georgia, for the past 14 years. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn heif death. All that loving hands and a physician could do, was extended tcJ her in her last illness, bnt the time had come for us to part from our lov ed one. We all hope she has gone to that mansions above where no farewell tears are shed, where sickness, sorrow, pain,death never come. Oh? if her dear children but had her back again. I am afraid we children who have par ents know not the value of their love as those who have experienc ed the loss of one of them. She is gone, we hope, to that heaven ly home. Never mdre are we to hear her speak kind words of love and comfort. But dear husband and children, strive to do good, and obey God’s kind laws that you may meet her on the other shore. • /■ Mourn not, dear children, For the ono so dearly loved; Let us hope shehas only gone, To a better place above.

Indiana, so far as we know, is the first state which has ever en acted a law making proprietors of saloons responsible in damages to innocent sufferers from the effects of liquor sold by them. The Indiana supreme court in a recent decision upholds this stat ute. In the caso upon which its de cision was based one George Ho- mire went home drunk, abused one of his boarders vilely and pro voked a fight in which he killed the man who resented his insults. Homire was tried, convicted of manslaughter and sont to the pen itentiary for twenty years. It was proved that he had drunk very heavily on the day of the homicide and that one bar had sold him many drinks after he was already intoxicated. The widow of the murdered man brought suit against the owner of that bar and fixed her damages at $20,000. • Counsel for the defendant en tered a demurrer that the new law did not apply in such cases and the circuit court sustained the de murrer. The plaintiff’s counsel appealed and the supreme court overruled the demurrer, declaring that the sale of the liquor caused the intoxication and the intoxica tion the killing and that, there fore, the owner of the saloon where Homire got his liquor is lia ble for the support of the widow and children of Homire’s victim. This is the first case of the kind on record and has created quite a sensation.. JOHN H. HODGES, Propr. DEVOTED TO HOME INTERESTS. PROCRESS AND CULTURE. *1. VOL.

The Produce Company ship two car loads each week to eastern markets. Each car con tains 400 cases and each case con tains 30 dozen eggs, making a to tal of 12,000 dozen eggs or 144,- 000 single eggs. Shipping out 228,000 eggs a week is no small item, considering that they bring 10 cents a dozen, brings the sum of $2,400 to the pockets of poultry raisers. One day’s egg receipts by this one firm was 560 cases. Be sides this they ship a car load of live poultry to New York each week. It is quite an indnstry for Centralia.—Gentralia Guard, Mis souri.

The fish story season having opened, the Floresville Chronicle leads off with this one: “A gen tleman near Durango owns a bird clog which is especially good at fetching things out .of the water. In order to show a friend what the dog could do, he thtew a fifty cent piece into the water and told the dog to fetch it. The dog dived and brought back a two pound catfih and 85 cents in change. ” *-♦-* “Our little girl was unconscious from strangulation during a sud den and terrible attack of croup. I quickly secured a bottle of One Minute Gough Cure, giving her three doses. The croup was mas tered and our little darling speed ily recovered. ” So writes A. L. Spafford, Chester, Mich.

News comes from Nashville that Emmett* Everett, the white man who has been undergoing a change of color for about three and a half years, died Tuesday morning at his home near Cecil, in this coun- ty. He was a young man about 21 years of age, and was a comely, blue-eyed, fair-haired boy, when suddenly and without warning the metamorphosis began to take place. His fair skin began* to take a yellowish hue, then became dar ker, until his death, at which time he was a deep bronze color. The complete change has baffled the local medical fraternity, and the theory has bf»en advanced by one prominent physician that the change of color was caused by the inhalation of the fumes of wood alcohol and its action upon the kidneys. This position is support ed by the fact that the young man was for some time engaged in its manufacture. In like manner others advance different theories, and it is also thought that the cause which brought on the change produced his death. This case will no doubt furnish food for much scientific reflection and speculation. But the strang est thing about it is that the change up to a month ago did not seem to effect his general health. —O A story is told of a farmer who was approached by a man who wanted to sell him a bicycle. “Now is the time to buy,” said the man, “bicycles were never cheaper; I can let yon have one for $35.” “I’d rather put the money in a cow,” said the farmer. “Oh, I know you could get a cow for that money,” said the man; “but think how foolish you’d look riding around your farm on a cow.” “’Well,” replied the farm er, “I don’t know as I’d look any foolisher doin’ that than tryin’ to milk a bike.” If people only knew what we know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every household, as there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or water- brash, caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A preparation sueh as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,which,with no aid from the stomach, will di gest your food, certainly can’t kelp but do you good. Holtz claw’s Drugstore. During one of Sam Jones’ ser mons a young man got up and started out of the church. Sam paused in his sermon long enough to say: “There goes a young man to hell.” The young man turned and asked: “What shall I tell your grand-mother when I get there?” Quick as a flash Sam re plied: “Just growl and tell her I’ve sent her a puppy.” You Know What You Are Taking When you take Grove’s Taste less Chill Tonic because the for mula is plainly printed on every >ottle showing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.
