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.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts — rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but siinplj- to a constipated condi ; tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with mill ions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial i effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one I may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, lone should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely Used and gives most general satisfaction.

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. G. B . R. Smith. 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 purpose of raising money to apply on their school building. An address on education will be de livered by Prof. Wm. E. Holmes, of Atlanta. He is an able man, and his address will be well worth hearing. All are invited. Two games of ball will be played be tween the school boys of Trion and Summerville. The latter team took the lead last Saturday, but Trion will take both games next time.

James Gore. ) Sc<s 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.
