A PRACTICAL WIDOW.
Hers is one written by a lady
whose husband died suddenly:
“Mr. Editor: I desire to thank
the friends and neighbors most
heartily in this manner for their
united aid and co-operation
during the illness and death ol
my late husband, who escaped
°m me by the hand of death
on last Friday while eating
breakfast. To my friends and
all who contributed so willingly
towards making the last mo
ments and the funpral of my
husband a success, I desire to
most kindly, hoping

“MAD DEATH” FOR
WOLVES,
I
A voting ca tie man of Wyom
ing bns hit uiion a remarkable
schemefor exterminating wol ve 4
Riid coyotes. His secret is con
tamed in a small vial of yellow
isli brown liquid. Ilia mode o
extermination is to tap a wolf
or coyote alive and inject three
drops beneath the skin. This
operation he repeats three times
in 12 hours, and then release,
the animal, croen eyed, with
dilated pupils, frothing at tin
mouth and raving mad. It tive.
from 80 to 40 hours after being
liberated, but, like a dog with
hydrophobia,it bites everything
it meets, and every other wolf
bitten becomes inoculated, and
in this wav the poison spreads,
and death follows at a rapid
rate. The Rig Horn basin pa
p-rs have published reports
brought in from the range ol
the death rate among the co
yotes to be enormous from a
new disease never before hoaro
of, and the inventor claims it
is his “mad death” wiping out
the tribe.—San Francisco Ar
gonaut.
There are plenty of ways to
be fools. Our laws give wide
range of liberty in this matter.
The price of cucumbers is too
low for ns to raise and pickle
them, yet we mortgage our land
to the Northerner and Eastern
er who does raise t hem, and pa>
freight on pickles to our doors.
If we raise a crop of tomatoes
they “don’t sell for nothing,’'
yet months later we buy them
si ipped from Maryland, and
thou mortgage our land for tin
money we paid. You don’t gel
pay for your trouble in making
and taking caro of butter, yei
Arkansas jobbers buy Kansas
butter by the ton, and the Kan
sas farmers have paid oil nearly
• two thirds of their mortgages
within the past three years,
lings ain’t worth keeping, yel
we find already farmers mort
gaging their mules, horses wag
ons and even implanted cotto'
to buy Yankee sow-bosom a I

A CURIOUS PRISON.
In chopping down a tree tin
other day, a Sherman county
farmer m ticed a limb with a
cavity some two feet deep in
length and three or four inclms
in diameter, in which were two
large, lull grown birds. Then
was a small opening, through
which the birds received food
from their mates. The limb
was cut and the birds liberated
Neither was able to tly, having
never been out of its place ol
imprisonment.
It is probable that the moth
er bird was small, and though
able to make her nest in the
hollow of the tree und rear her
young, she could not extricate
them, us they did not have
strength enough to help them
selves until the hollow so closed
as to make escape impossible
Those who have examined the
buds think they are about two
years old.
They have been fed from t heir
birth by their bird fellows
through the aperture in the
limb of the tree. —New York

OBITUARY.
It is with much sadness, in
deed, that we are now Called up
on to mourn the death of our
dear friend. Mr.G. Daniel Dyer,
son of Mr. S. Z. Dyer, formerly
of Gwinnett county.
Mr. Daniel was born and
raised in Gwinnett county,, and
was one of its best young men.
Referring to his boyhood, we
can sny that he was our school
mate and ncighborboy. While
in school lie was a kind and as
feet innate playmate and an
obedient student. Preparing
his lessons with that same in
domitable energy and ambition
that marks his success all along
through life, he always stood
well in bis classes. He seemed
to early realize the fact that
life was not for simple passtime,
but for usefulness. His boy
hood days were spent in going
to school at Pleasant Hill and
working on a farm with his
father.
At about the age of 22 he
went to Atlanta where he com
menced to. work for himself.
He first worked for a furniture
lions#-, then for an electric ear
company, and then for a loan
company, after which he went,
to Montgomery, Ala., where he
took charge of an office for the
company. He soon went to
Mobile, where he, with
Mr.G. R. Chapman,established
a business for themselves on
Jan. Ist 1800.
He prospered in his business,
and was beginning to realize
the fruits of his jwars of toil
and devotion to duty. He
united with the Baptist church
at Mobile about one year ago,
and lived n devoted Christian,
always attending his meetings
and Sunday-school.
Rut just here his health be
gan to fail, and he came to his
father’s home in Atlanta. In
the spring of ’O7 he made a
short visit to Mobile, and re
turned to his father's home wt
No. fib Young street, where his
death occurred on May 21 th.
His remains were euterred at
old Sweet Water cemetery in
the presence of a large crowd of
friends and relatives, who will
ever mourn his absence.

THE BOY WAITED A YEAR TO BAY
HIS FATHER BACK.
Laurence Hutton, in an ar

of fit April fool joke that his

In my bread and butter days
1 was a frequent and unhappy
victim of what. Shakespeare

siege with a certain molar had
left me one early spring day
with a broken spirit and a swol

'd the floor with me, and had
groaned with me, and had suf
fered in his feelings and m his
sympathies more perhaps than
had suffered in a physical way
the patient himself.
He was going that morning
'o attend the funeral of his old
friend, Dr. McPherson, and he

him to bring me back—a way

serious condition of invalidism.
[ demanded without hesitation
i brick of maple sugar. A very
strange request certainly from
a person in my peculiar condi
tion and one which appealed
strongly to his own sense of
ilie ridiculous.
A lien lie returned at dinner
time, lie carried the brick ou
ch loped in many series of pa
pers, beginning with the coars
est kind and ending with the
finest kind, and each of the
wrappers was fastened "with its
! own particular bit of cord or
ribbon, all of them tied in the
i hardest of hard knots. The
process of disentanglement was
I long ar.d laborious, but it was
persistently performed, and
when the brick was revealed,
10, it was just a brick—not of
maple sugar, but a plain, ordi
nary, red clay, building brick,
which he had taken from sonib
pile of similar bricks on his
way up town. The disappoint
ment was not very bitter, for I
knew that something else was
coming, and I realized that it
«'iis the first of April and that
I had been April fooled.
The some'hing else, 1 remem
ber, was that most amusing of
amusing books, George Derby's
“Phtenixiana,” then just pub
lished, and over it 1 forgot my
toothache, but not my maple
sugar. All this happened when
l was about 12 years of age,
and I have ever since associated
Sqiiibob with the sweet Bap of
the maple, never with raging
teeth.-
It was necessary, however, to
get even with my father. Not
an eas' matter I knew, and I
consults! my Uncle John, a
youth some six or eight years
niv senior. He advised patient
waiting. The father, he said,
was absolutely devoted to the
Commercial Advertiser, which
he read every day from fronts*
piece •to end—market report,
book notices, obituary notices,
advertisements und all—and if
l could hold myself, iu for a
whole year my Uncle John
thought it would be worth it.
The Commercial Advertiser of
that date was was put safely
away for u twelvemonth, and
on the Ist of April next it was
produced, carefully folded and
properly dampened and was
placed by the side of my fath
er's plute, the mother and son

SWARMING THE BEES.
HOW RRA'ss AM) CYMBAL ARE
I'SED TO ARREST THEIR
EAGER FLIGHT.
\\ lien 1 was a child living ou
a southern plantation long be
fore tho war, there was among
the negroes a little, old African
named Mingo. Among other
duties lie took care of the bees
Just under a long trellis of hon
eysuckle and multiflora roses
stood a long bench, and upon
this were the hives. Trellis,
bench and hives were all Min
go’s handiwork. Occasionally
lie would bring from the swamp
a section of ft hollmv gum log
and make of it, a hive, He
called all of his hives “bee
gums.’’
In the early spring, before
tin- time for sVarming, Mingo
always provided several new
hives for prebahle swarms.
Then came the time for pleas
urable waiting fur him and tin
children, white ami black, with
all of whom lie was in firm
f riendship.
Home bright day there would
come from the yard a quick
and loud tattoo, Mingo beating
an old brass kettle that lie kept
for the purpose. It was a sig
nal to the children that the
bees were swarming. Books
were dashed aside, and there
was a wild scramble for tin
pans, shovels, waiters, pokers,
tongs, anything in the world
that would make a noise,
The brown cloud of bees hov
ered overhead. Mingo kept
close watch, and at each detour
it made toward the weed In
called to his willing cohorts:
“Louder! Dey's mukin’for de
■ woods!”
Close at his heels we follow
en. beating with all our might.
At last the cloud grew denser
and smaller about the liuib of a
sweet locust tree, with which
the yard was thick. The queen
had settled, and soon a thick
brown mass of quivering bees
hung in a long pendant from
the limb.
At a wave of Mingo’s band
the noise ceased, and we all
stood breathless, watching till
the last bee had settled into
place. How we pitied the in
side bees and wondered how
they breathed.
Then came the supreme mo
ment. with Mingo. Having cap
tured the bees he had to im
prison them. He worked like a
magician at Ins incantations.
Telling us to be silent and
watch the bees, so:- sometimes
they swarmed again after set
tling, he went to the little
spring branch outside the yard
and gathered willow twigs, then
into the garden and brought
back handfuls of mint.
Selecting a new liive, he rub
bed it thoroughly inside with
the mint. Then, with the top
removed, he placed it on a table
immediately below the cluster
ed b es. * Taking i t hand u
small soft brush, he climbed
the tree, while his assistants
prudently withdrew to a safe
distance.
If the limb were small and
low, he cut it off, and bending
over, shook the bees from it
into th« open hive. If it were
large, he shook it till the lieeti
were dislodged, brushing off
with.his brtiMmi any that con
tinued to cling. The bees nev
er. stung him, to our unbounded
umazemont and admiration.
Having twined the willow
twigs about the hive to keep
away the bugs, worms and oth
er foragers, lie left it standing |
upon the tr.bln until the little
colony was well established in
its new home. Then he re
moved it to a place beside the
old hives oti the bench under
the honeysuckle and the multi
Horn roses.

In the beginning of Bible his
tory God said, “Speak unto the
children of Isreal, that they go
forward.” When the King of
Glory had finished the work
He was sent to do, e’er the ever
lasting doors were lifted up to
receive him, his last command
was, “Go ye therefore and
teach all nations.”
rims in both the old and new
divine systems, the emphatic
order was, “Go forward!” and
vet nineteen hundred years
have almost completed their
cycle, and only one fourth of
the human race has been reach
ed by the gospel of Christ.
An English preacher asked
some British soldiers “If (Juecn
\ ietoria lyere to issue a procla
mation, and placing it in the
hands of her army and navy,
were to say, ‘Go ye into all the
world and proclaim to every
creature, ’ how long do you
think it would take to do it?”
One of those brave fellows, ac
customed t»i obey orders with
out hesitation or delay and at
peril of lift*, promptly answer
ed: “Well, 1 think we could
manage it in about eighteen
months.”
The hesitation and slowness
with which the church follows
up the divine command may be
| owing to the need, as Christlied
j asserts, of a three-fold eover
;sion, namely, of the heart, .to
secure holy affections; of tin
head, to assure right convic
tions; of the purse, to assure
I ample offerings.
Truly, many of us need this
j conversion! Just mo long ns the
spirit of missions is wanting,
there will lie an adequate force
of laborers, or money to send
them. The Moravians, with
but twenty thousand adult enm
municniits, and by no means a
rich people, lead all other re
ligious bodies in contributing
jto missions and sending out
missionaries. One out of every
seventy of their membership is
in the mission field, and they
contribute an average of twelve
dollars per member. Such a
record should put us to shume
)>y comparison. We nni6t do
more and more, to rise
with our opportunities and ap
proach the measure of our obli
gations.
Dr. Pierson, whose consecrat
ed pen modern missions owes a
debt of gratitude, says, “Work
is worship.” What St. James
calls the energetic supplication
i- just now the only acceptable
prayer. There are times when
the only true supplication is
the supply of men and materi
al of war. This crisis is upon
us. Is the Woman's Mission
ary Society ready to meet it?
“It would be a blessed thing,”
i said Mrs. Rhea, of Persia, “to
| look at Christ through the eyes
his Moses, the chosen leader of
Isreal; or David, the Messianic
Psalmist; or Isaiah, the Messi
anic prophet; or John, the be
j loved deciple; or Paul, the
chosen Vessel; but she hail
rather see Jesus through the
eyes of u pagan woman than
through fhose of prophet <n
apostle. Anil her words are
not hard to understand; for to
none of the goodly company o'
the apostles could He appear so
woundrously beautiful, as to
her whom by His love and grace
He had lifted out of the horri
ble pit and miry clay of associ
ation with soulless cattle and
beasts of burden.”
If the six hundred thousand
women of the M. E. Church,
South, would make this senti
ment their own, the Woman’s
M issionary Society would spread
its brunchi* like a green bay
tree; an Auxiliary would be or
ganized in every charge, the
languishing would be revived,
the sleeping amused, all hearts
would glow with the enthusiasm

A TRI E PEN PICT! RE.
The following pen picture is
taken from one of our Western
exchanges, anti tells of life in
the far off West, though the
application is world-wide and
as good for Georgia as it is for
Arizona:
“The man who wipes hia nose
on his sleeves, picks his teeth
with a fork, squirts tobacco
juice on the cook stove hearth,
rides to mill with corn in one
end of the sack and a stone in
the other, drives to market
with hickory hark lines, de
posits his money in his last
winter’s socks, insists on pay
ing his taxes with coon skins
and wild honey, fastens one
gallua with a wooden peg and
wears “possum belly” pants is
the same old rooster who has
no use for his home paper, and
his brother is the fellow who
tries to do business in town
without advertising.”

perate hurry and quite out of
breath ami exclaimed:
“Oh, judge, if you can, pray
■excuse me! f don’t know
1 which will die first, my wife or
(•my daughter.”
“Dear me, that's sadj” said
the innocent judge. “Certaiu
| ly, you are excused.”
The next day the juryman
was met by a friend, w ho, in a
sympathetic voice, asked:
“How’s your wife?”
“She’s all right,, thank you.”
“And your daughter?”
“She’s all right, too. Why
do you ask?”
“Why, yesterday you said
you did not know which would
die first.”
“Nor do I. That is the prob
lem which time alone can
solve.”
