r “MAY BE A SERMON—
f MAYBE A SONG.”
k A Pilgrimage—When we ttaited
to the mountain that afternoon it was
■ ven' hot and tiresome. I alw|ysenjoy
a tripin the country but in this instance
the country was such a succession of
scrawny hills, dusty rallies, shrunk
streams, and sunburnt grass, that the
usual pleasure was not forthcoming.
And the roads—in vain do I ransack
my vocabulary for words which will
h fitly describe them! Nothing but »?e-
" ing—and feeling—will convey an idea
of their wretched condition. This re
fers especially to the road over
the first two or three hills west of town.
I can easily understand how Napoleon
came to be great; he believed in go id
k roads. Now if there is any body in this
part of the country who wants to
achieve greatness and glory the road
is ready and waiting for him.
But all things come to an Mid, and,
•while we didn’t come to the end of the
road, we began the ascent of the moun
tain as the twilight fell, and I forgot
' alt about the road. (Scenery does not
smooth away bruises, though.) Mr.
B walked up the mountain to relieve
the pony. It did not occur to me to
walk but the pony kept stopping at
very short intervals and gazing at me
L reproachfully an 1 sinking her head
k mournfully, until finally 1 got out too.
I was enchanted by the rugged scenery
' along the, road. It was very romantic
looking ami if I had seen a bit of it on
the stage in a play 1 <- liotihl have km>n n
i i a minute that a couple of tierce
were going to pop from
dense thicket and “hold up" the
talking about brigands and 1 said it was
such a pity the tierce mustachioed kind
no longer existed except in books;
they were such picturesque accessories
to a landscape like this. Mr. B - who
is a sordid body, thought it about as
bad to be ‘ held up” by a picturesque
brigand as any oilier sort. Juslthena
rabbit ran across the road in front of us
and Mr. B - said that it meant bad
luck. I said I wasn’t superstitious at
all. Then I asked him if there was
any way to counteract the impending
ill luck. Os course it is foolish to bc-
F lieve in things like tha' but I enjoyed
the creeping little feeling that came
over me. It was probably a bit of be
lated fruit of foolish tales told me in
childhood. It is funny to tiud things
like that coming to the surface.
1 was laughing at myself about the
rabbit episode when suddenly my laugh
ter froze on my lips and dropped to
the ground with a dull thud. We had
come to a lonely place where the hills
sloped down to the road, an unbroken
brush and rock. The
moonlight made tha HH-fully'*
black and the owls were hooting on the
mountain side. I shuddered, Mr. B.
V' tried to look as if he didn’t mind it,
and the pony pricked up her cars,
and—just then two tierce brigands
popped out of the bushes!
“What, hoi If you move you are
dead men.”
Wc stood still. 1 wanted to ask the
man why he said “men” to a man and
woman, but I remembered that brig,
amis are never argued with in books
and plays so 1 refrained.
“Your money or your lives,” was
the next command.
We succeeded shortly in convincing
them that we bad no money, and began
pointing out to them the need our fam
ilies had for us in hope that they would
spare our lives. 1 turned my face so
the moon could shine on it and struck
a graceful attitude, and they said. Well
they guessed they'd spare us this time.
Wc both breathed a sigh of intense re
lief, only to be plunged into dispair
again. One of the brigands spied my
bag in the front of the buggy and ma de
k y.<live for it. He began to haul out
* the''things and he came to a bathing
suit which held up in the moonlight.
Then in a voice of utmost consternation
he roared *
“ll'soneo’ them new women, Bill!."
and by common consent ‘hey tied to
the brush. The last we heard as they
clambered up the mountain was the
wind w histling through tin ir w hiskers.
Those who love nature and weary
of the tribulations of civilized life, will
find the villsp: on the mountain an
< ideal spot for a vacation. The cottages
are on the brow of the mountain. Just
at the foot of the cliff is a freestone
spring running out a mossy fern bank.
Across the gorge a few hundred yards
from the village is a mineral spring. It
falls about thirty feet down the face of
the cliff, and disappears in a second
shelf of rock, finally trickling through
a mossy cliff. People are excusable
in the valley for looking upon the wine
•Rk'n it is red. for the water is some
times wretched. Bat tbit mountain
water is so sweet and goofl there is no
possible excuse for drinking anything
else. Dyspepsia is impossible at tint
altitude. After being th re a little
while I felt that I could easily love
those people who bore me. even my
political enemies. As for politics, there
w- is only one sort of ticks up there and
k I don't think thoir name is Polly; it
must be legion. And you wouldn't ex
pect it of such simple mountain crea
tures, but they struck me as being
great sticklers fur form; and they have
also acquired a metropolitan habit of
painting things red.
I wish I had power to portray the
magniflcient views and the rugged
I grandeur that abounds up there, but
it really seems useless to try. At night
I we sat on the edge of the cliff in the
moonlight. On the left was the gorge
full to the brim of velvety darkness,
pierced here and there by’ the tallest
trees whose tops reached up into the
moonlight. To the right, and far down
below us, lay the myriad hills crowned
with light and the shadowy vallies be
tween, dreaming under the spell of the
mystical moonlight. A single red light
gleamed out from some farm house
miles away across the valley, to remind
one that beyond and beneath that in
tervening veil of beauty human life
moved in its accustomed way of sorrow’
and joy. I wanted to sleep out there
that night. I felt that I wastheprim
■fr e woman.
In the morning the world looked as
if it had just been created anew. There
was such a delicious, dewy freshness
about old earth that one did not need
to say to her, “Good morning! Have
you used Pear’s soap?” 1 believe if a
woman could take those sun, dew, wa
ter and air baths up there, and get her
soul keyed up to the grandeur of the
mountains, she need never grow’ old.
But this is a diversion; I was speaking
of the views. Nature does not care a
cent whether, or not, you or I come
and say “isn’t this a perfectly lovely
view!” She wraps the vallies and the
hills in a mesh of dreamy light; or the
storm winds rush through the gorges
and the thunder rolls from cliff to cliff;
! or again, winter presses his frosty lips
to the leaves and the landscape is
tinged with their crimson blushing,
and she cares litttle whether there is a
soul to see her generous and beautful
moods or not’ But she is very tender
and kind to those who love her.

OWE, TEXAS.
t Editor News: —Thinking that
r the farmers of your section may
' like to hear something of how
| crops, etc., are in the Lone Star
t State, I take the liberty of writing
. you some facts that may’ be of in
terest to your readers.
The dry’ and hot weather, which
we have had nearly’ all of th« pres
ent year, had the elfect to make all
, of our crops short without excep
tion. Our corn crop will not av
erage much over 12 or 15 bushels
, to the acre; taking an average of
the entire country, which is scarce
ly’ one quarter of a crop. Cotton
will not make over 4 bale to the
Very many fields will not
run over one bale to eight or ten
acres. The price, however, prom
ises to be very good, which will help
us out some.
Our oat crop was probably’ hurt
worse than anything else, as it will
not average over 20% of a crop.
Many farmers do not cut-their oats
but turned their stock in on them,!
and many crops that were cut were I
merely mowed and stacked for feed.,
What oats have been harvested are '
very light and chaffy; and right
here I want to say’ something to >
those in your section who will want |
to buy Texas seed oats. This years j
crop is very bright in color and |
therefore bettor than last year’s in
looks, but many’ of them will not j
grow, owing to the fact that the
grains often contain no germs.
What I mean is that some of all of
them will grow, but there is dan
ger that a stand would not be ob
tained. On the other hand, last
year’s crop of oats are alright for
seed, for although they are a little
stained, they’ are very heavy, weigh
ing 32 to 35 pounds to the bushel,
and every’ teed will grow. I know
this, as I have made tests of some
of the worst stained oats and find
that they come up too thick, if any
thing, while only’ aboutso% of the
new oats will sprout, by actual
trial. There are a hinted stock of
last year’s oats remaining in this
state, and J would reccommend
every one wanting to buy seed oats,
if possible, as they will be much
more satisfactory. I intend selling
all my present crop of oats and
sowing the old oats for sped, for
next spring planting
The sooner your people buy their
seed oats, the cheaper they will be
able to get them, as there are not
enough seed oats in Texas, to do
much more than fill the demand
here, without supplying your sec
tion. So those who buy late will
have to pay more money even if
they’ get them at all.

A Picnic at Trion.
There will be a grand picnic at Trion
Saturday September 12th,given by the
pupils of Trion colored school, for the

emulsion
of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phites, can be taken as easily in
i summer as in winter. Unlike the
plain oil it is palatable, and the
I hypophosphites that are in it aid in
digestion and at the same time tone
up the system.
For sickly, delicate children, and
for those whose lungs are affected,
it is a mistake to leave it off in the
summer months. The dose may be
reduced if necessary.
We recommend the small size
especially for summer use, and for
children, where a smaller dose is re
quired. It should be kept in a cool
place after it is once opened.

The summer session of Lyerly
j High School closed last Friday.
I This has been one of the most suc
cessful sessions in the history of
i tho school. The fall session of the
school will not open this week, as
was published, but will apen Oct. *
12th. The trustees and principal
thought this change a wise one, as
the next few weeks will be a very |
busy season with the farmers. The j
future outlook for the school is J
bright. M.
That Joyful feeling.
With the exhilarating sense of j
renewed health and strength and i
internal cleanliness, which follows
the use of Syrup of Figs, is 1
unknown to the few who have not
progressed beyond the old time
medicines and the cheap substi
tutes sometimes offered but never
accepted by th’e well informed.
A Card of Thanks.
Wc desire to express our thanks to
the kind neighbors and friends who
were so attentive during the long ill
ness and death of our husband and fa
ther. It is indeed a glorious privilege
to live among such people. MajfeGod’s
richest blessings be upon them all.
