RETROSPECTION.
• Not for me
Is time for retrospection or for dreams;
Not time for self-laudation, or remorse.
Have I done nobly? Then 1 must not
let
Pead yesterday unborn tomorrow shame.
Have T done wrong? Well, let the bitter
taste
Os fruit that turned to ashes on my lips
Be my reminder in temptation’s hour.
And keep me silent when I woyld con
demn.
Sometimes it takes the acid of a sin
To cleanse the clouded windows of our
souls.
So pity may shine through them. Look-
Inc back
Mv faults and errors seem like stepping'
That led the way to knowledge of tha
truth
And made me value virtue.
- HI,LA WHEELER WILCOX.
A FEW CHICKEN DOTS.
We have invited discussion on the poul
try industry as a profitable wort for
•women, and have received our first com
munication. As it is quite an Interesting
personal experience and lengthy, we give
our editorial space to it, hoping it may
prove beneficial to our readers.
One of the sfsters spoke of ifi" many
who had written to her in regard to
poultry raising: so a few* dots on the
subject may not be amiss.
1 consider it the gate through which
we countrv women of large families must,
pass to emancipation from hard work.
It is one of the most interesting and
healthful of out door o< conations. Most
women take too little fresh air. How
ever, with a litHe extra work at first, one
can soon get the services of a little maid
tn the kitchen which will give them time
to extend the outside work.
One year I raised over seven hundted
and fifty e.u kens, of which rogues got
tile larger share. So if you have many
■ olored neighbors, after a lv>itse got a.
lock before chick os. Remembering m
old experience, that is what 1 did when
we returned to the country last j.ar

our Savior: ‘How often would I have

bad rye sown ir. the orchard and turnips

relished both. The rye is green all win

camo up W'll. However, I believe it was
the cracklins which gave me most of
my eggs. The barn on the place was
leased wifli the place, and being so near
attracted some of my layers away from

The Doctor’s Verdict and
How Mr. Graham Dis
regarded It.
"The doctor said I was not fit for work
and that if I wanted to live I would iiave
to give up business,” said F. J. Graham
of No. 125 Jefferson street. Peoria, Bi.
"And 1 was incapacitated,” he contin
ued. "It was a kind of Incipient par.ily
sis and it is due to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale I'eoj.le that 1 am now in
perfect health again. First I would he
hot. then cold and elammj and at times
my body felt as if pierced by needles.
There were terrible pains all over me and
then i would have no feeling at ail. A
numbness sometimes eanu ov.-r me and I
could not move. With it all were, agoniz
ing headaches and a pain in the region
of my spine. 1 look back on it now ami
wonder how I retained my reason
through that long and trying ordeal.
There were months and months wh"n 1
got no natural sleep ami my nervous sys
tem was ,i wi' ili from lin and the.
opiates will' ll I had be n obliged to take.
"One day 1 read the statement of a
man who had !>■ "i cured of a. ease like
mine by Dr. W illiants’ Pink Pilie for
Pale People and 1 began taking them.
The first box did so well that I continued
until six boxes were taken ;i nd 1 was en
tirely well. 1 have been in perfect health
ever since.”
No other meili. in in the world has ac
complished so mam cures in cases that
were apparently hopeless, as Dr. Wil
liams' I'ink Pills for I’.ilc People. The
cure of Mr. Graham is only one instance
out of thousands, and tlr reason this
remedy is so wonderful in its efficacy is
because, unlike any other medicine, it
acts directly on both the blood and the
nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain
in a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and r" tore shall' r. d nerves.
They are an unfailing spi i-itic for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
ralysis. St. Vitus' ura 1

after-effects of grip, palpitation of the
heart, pale and .-allow complexions and

Hr- Bettie Mills. Colton. N C.—Good
morning sisters; give me a seat by the
sisters that are defending Surge Plunkett.
1 like his letters on big meetings and
corn shucking '. Come ahead Surge and
tell ns of corn planting time in Georgia.
1 attended a free-will Baptist meeting
recently and witnessed the communion
service and the washing of feet it was
a grand sight to me. and real pathetic.
They laid aside their coats and wraps
and girded themselves with a towel and
after they washed would wipe each
others feet with the towel with which
they well girded. It seemed to picture
the last supper more vividly than any
thing l hate ever seen. I bate thought
a good while that it was right to wash
feet, a.s the Saviour left the command,
"if T. your Lord and Master, have
washed your feet you ought also to wash
one unothers feet." What do you all
think about It? Let me hear from some
on., more competent.
<'an some of the sisters tell me of a
cheap plan to furnish a small house?
('•in any one tell me If the word sandal
Is in the Bible, and if so, where?
.Mrs A. E. Hunter. ALGr-gor. Tex t
will I'll the lady at Ennis. Tex., that
said she »;i - in trouble and wanted to
know what to do to make washing easy
that sh" will have to go back to Ai ebama
if s.he wauls to wash easy. I ha\e been
in Texas seven years and have tried
■ c ry thing and livre is nothing that will
make this hard water wash. I came from
Georgia. I don't like this country much.

.Mrs. Emma O'Briant, Wamb, Miss. ■
I cannot resist visiting y our social corner
cue,' a year at l"ast. 11 1 cannot do any
good I'l try not do any harm. I read all
iie good advice to mothers and try to
profit by it. In filet, I read all the paper
. xcept th" murders ami lynchings, which
I feel bet’.'-r not I" read, they ar. so num
i i ons and blood curdling.
Bill Arp's letters are so jolly, I am
always sorry they are not longer He is
mv ideal man. I also enjoy Plunkett's
gi'O'l old fashion letters. I seldom tail to
read Junor's page for not many years
ago I was one of them I am not very
s. nim is yet. although 1 have been mar
ried eight years and have two jirecious
< hildren I di. not believe in corporal
punishment. It may I"’ best for some,
lut 1 believe there are few who are
made better V.y It. I could always man
age better with kind talk.
I will tell you how I raised money to
get The Constitution and Sunny South
last year. I made and sold bonnets. f
am going to sell eggs to renew my sub
serlptlon.
I agree with Eliza I..th M Summer in
regard to the negro. I would be glad if
every one of them wer- at the North
pole. Some few people here think they
could not get along without then) (their
labor is so cheap), but they would soon
learn better. Thev arc not worth much
more Ilian their board. Nearly all the
oil negroes are humble and peaceable.
The younger ones are the ones that are
doing the mischief, and it doesn't seem
that education makes them better.
