"MAYBE A SERMON—
MAYBE A SONG.”
Tribulations.—Life surveyed as a
whole Is eoruclitiics tragical, and al
ways dignified, but the individual ca
reer of the average human atom is mot
impressive, to any great degree, of
dignity and pathos. In every book of
life there is a few chapters of tribula
tions. and it is the little things that
are the more frequent and abundant
causes of worry and troub'e. It is the
trival incidents of every day that de
termine whether life is worth living or
not. For af'cr all. it is every day life
we live no matter how much we per
suade ourselves to the contrary, and it
is the little foxes that spoil the grapefe.
A bad dinner engenders all manner of
tincharital.dcticss and a .'•ucccssion of
had dinners is likely to result in rtiuf
der in thought if not in actual deed.
It is also trite that a cold will produce
Inorc real discomfort than an unfortu
itatc affair of the heart.
I’hat sounds dreadfully and if 1 had
not a very severe cohl I should be
pained to hear such an unsentimental
sentiment expressed by anybody, but
as it is 1 rather think that it is the
plain, unvarnisecd truth. It seems
unpleasantly suggestive that truth
should be spoken of as plain and un
varnished, and (hat people should say
of a thing, “it is too good te be true.”
It is as if truth is not the beautiful
and good thing we believe it to be.
When one. has a bad cold one's head is
likely to be filled with all sorts of odd
vagaries, and I am just wondering if I
ttm true only when I am “plain and
-•x. Unvarnished.” If this be the case,
generally, ou ■ can readily understand
why men do not love truth and prefer
darkness to light, as the preachers
»ny. /
I am unusually plain when I have a
cold. lam dull, as you perceive, and
my face reflects dulness (as you do not
perceive, thank goodness!). The re
flection is *o strong it easts a ruddy
glow on my eyelids and nose that
nose! and I sneeze. Do you remem
ber Peggotty In “David Copperfield?”
Peggotty who wore a bodice buttoned
lip behind, atid when she became pos
sessed of any violent emotion the but
tons burst off and flew in every direc
tion. When little David went off to
school she hugged him and wept over
him until she hadn’t a button left.
Now I have a little blue house frock
buttoned behind, and 1 had it on when
I began sneezing. 1 haven’t a button
left, either.
It is truly a matter of surprise that
there should be .my disease at all when
there are so many “sure cures” for
t heiHsg_of tlgsli. W heivthc seu-hii' ed
itor had rheumatism hosts of people
came to see him and each one recom
mended different remedies that had
cured them or their relatives or the
relatives of their wives. The poor
man tried some of them. I remember
one bottle of stuff so terrible that we
vacated the room when it was un
corked. The menfbry of it lingered
about the house for days afterward
and we did not feel like eating at times
on account of it. Alter that, as a
health measure, 1 confiscated all sus
picious remedies. I am reminded of
all this because, since 1 have a cold,
every one advises a remedy. 1 don't
take them; they are infinitely worse
than the disease. One friend did ad
vise a hot bath and a glass of wine af
terwards. 1 tried that. Hut it made
me too warm and 1 took fresh cold.
Most of them suggested hot ginger ted,
and red pepper tea and Epsom salts.
Fancy insulting one's stomach with
such horrible stuff! 1 suggested to
one old lady that these things might
not suit my ease. She said, with a
degree ot asperity, that the way to find
■ out was to try them; I'd never know if
1 didn't. Ye gods!
When a little baby 1 vowed that if 1
ever lived to grow up 1 positively
would not drink any more of those
horrible, weedy teas. Do you know,
the average human baby is the most
long suffering creature in existence.
I am sure if they knew the terrible or
deal of flannels and tea and coddling
they had to undergo, babies would
vastly prefer not to be. The baby is
entirely al the mercy of a rude world;
it is trotted on knees until the life is
almost shaken out of its soft little
body, and wneu it begins a frightened
wail of protest, why baby must be
sick, we'll give it tea. And when it
finally pretends to be asleep in order
to escape its tormentors, somebody
will say “Just look at the little angel!
Its the living image of its grandpa.”
And the baby, especially if it be a wo
man child, will open its eyes te see its
ancestral prototype and be confronted
by a bristly, beaming old, old man.
sans eves, sans teeth, and sans every
thing! It requires much self posses
sion on the part of the baby to prevent
another wail of weary disgust. Babies
may well ask if the privilege of being
lords of creation some years hence is
worth the trouble. I think the devcl-
X opnicnt of so many, many babies into
grown-up boors and bores is their re
venge upon the world for its mistreat
ment of them in early life. And a
most complete revenge it is. E. C.

mornings and biting winds may socn
be coming, but each week fresh goods
will be arriving according to demands,
so that the comforts of life may be had
at most reasonable prices and in ac
cordance with the customers' strictest
views t o economy. The pleasing
prospects for a coming administration
of prosperity will not clothe and feed
the homefolks this fall. The cotton

yet there will be opportunity for par
ents to teach more thoroughly habits
of industry and economy, and I will
have the opportunity of demonstrating
to my customers that *-a friend in
need is a friend indeed.” My rem
nant stock of shoes and other goods
brought over will be offered at half

expect you to come again for the sale

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
tjie knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, iSyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. ' That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
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
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
tsed and gives most general satisfaction

She Sweetly Sleeps,
Miss Susie Hanson is dead. The
sad news will carry with it a thrill of
sorrow to the hearts of her many
friends.
After a long, lingering illness, the
t rial and tedium of which she bore
with the most beautiful resignation,
her gentle spirit took its Hight on July
20,1896.
Ilers was a life of wondrous beauty,
and during her short sojourn on earth
she ' brightened the lives and hearts
of all with whom she was associated
by the purity and loveliness of her
character. But in spite of the love
and devotion of her family, and the
many friends who made up the circle
of her acquaintance in which she
moved, the Master called, and gently
obedient to his will her spirit took its
Hight to Heaven.
Just before death she called her
mother and brothers to her bedside
and told tlrnin she was going Inme
and requested them all to meet her in
Heaven. I will say to the bareaved
cues, weep not for her you loved, for
hep sorrows and troubles are over.
Knowing that death was near the brave
spirit did not falter, but expressed a
willingness to go if it should be the
Divine will. M. L. B.

Farmers Mutual Insurance Asso
ciation of Chattooga County.
The directois of this association met
in Summerville on Sept 2nd and called
a meeting for Saturday, Sept. 26th, at
which time they desire a full atten
dance of directors and as many of the
policy holders as can conveniently
come. Officers for the coming year to
be elected, and other business for
good of the order to be transacted.
Having had two assessments recently,
some of the members have asked to
have their policies cancelled. It has
been nearly three years since our or
ganization and these are the only fires
occurred. This was unfortunate but I
take it that the ones whose buildings
were consumed were the unfortunate
ones. Rightly conducted this is the
best insurance we can get, and with an
agent in each district who is equally
interested, Ido not see why it should
not be rightly conducted. It is by the
people, for the people,, strictly a home
institution. If any one is dissatisfied
with assessments he can have access
to the books and find wlfere every dol
lar has gone. If his neighbor is in
sured for too great an he
should notify the director.
Let us come together and rectify
mistakes if any, and carry on this good
work. Respt., J. A. Branner,
Uounty Agent.

Somebody took two chairs through
mistake at Newhope church Saturday
night, during the meeting, and left
two in place of them.' As I don t
want to break the set I hope they will
bring them back and get theii own.

certainties in treating disease is conn- a
N ter irritation—the effect, usually, of \
S plasters. But Johnson’s Belladonna x
F Plaster is more than a mere excitant F
' of the skin; it relieves and cures also f
by the absorption of its medicinal 4-
properties. Hence the sureness and
thoroughness of the relief it gives.
’ There are other good plasters, but A
A this is the best. And the best is N
x what we want. The genuine bears x
