The Old and the New.

Ring out. wild bells, to the wild sky,
The living cloud, the frosty light;
The wear is dying in the ngnt;
RING out. wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring. happy bells, across the snow
The year is going, let him go;
Ring ont the false. ring i'll the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here We see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ringin the nODler modes OF life,
With swceter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithleSS COldneSS OF the tlmeS;
ring out. ring out my mOurnful rhyme
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride IL RlEoe and blood,
The civic slander and the spilG;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love Of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease:
Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring In the thousand years of peace
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindltcr hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

A NICE sERESADE.--A young maj
who is particulssly jovial and full 0
fun, and who prides himself on his mu
steal attachments on the guitar, resolved
to serenade some of his fair friends last
night. Bolstering himself against the
night air, by a few glimpses of the
heavens through the bottom Of a tum.
bier, with straw in it, he started ont.
He reached the yard. He struck the
chords, and then he heard something
He recognized the situation immedi-
ately, remembered that he was wrong,
and beat hasty retreat taking with him
all the boots, hair brushes, soap stands,
fowl racks, and such things as he could
carry. He says it was not altogether a
success as concert, but that; from
financial point, it was not altogether a
failure. The young men who appeared
on the street in slippers next morning
knew nothing of the affair at all.

MINERAL WATER. In the summer
season nearly everybody who can afford
it drink mineral water. The ladies and
gentlemen of means go to renowned
watering.places, while the less fortunate
content themselves with drinking the
imported article. The discovery of q
sulphur well in our midst, however, said
to possess medicinal properties of high
order, renders it useless to squander
money for mineral water, either at home
or abroad, when the healing fountain,
with its exhaustless flow of pure life
giving waters, is so near at hand. The
famous sulphur well is the property OF
Messrs. Levi & Bro, the we'll known
proprietors of the popular grocery store,
at the corner of Exchange and Alabama
streets, and parties desiring information
concerning the properties of the water
should call on these gentlemen. There
are plenty of people who will testify as
to the merits of the sulphur well, as you
will find by inquiring at Levi Il Bro. s
grocery.

THE REIoyrYo BELLE.-We are in
debted TO the publishers, Messrs. 7. B,
Peterson 4 Bros, for an advance copy o.
The Reigning Belle, by Mrs. Ann s.
Stephens, author ofthe "Wife's Secret
=" Fashion and Famine "The Rejected
Wife," etc. The popularity OF Mrs.
Stephens as a novelist will insure a large
sale for this her new society novel, as all
who have read her previous books will
be eager for any subsequent publica-
tons. "The Reigning Belle" is issued
in large duodecimo volume, and is sold
by all booksellers at 81 rs in cloth, or
sent by mail postpaid on receipt Of
price.
HUMAN ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND

copy Of new work by DR. Joseph G..
Martindale, entitled Human Anatomy,
Physiology and Hygiene text book
for schools, academies, colleges and
families. 1t will prove valuable and in

with the other school publications Of the
author.

ERRORS OF SPEEcH.--Dr. l.. p. Mere

Bile, instead of the third. In pronouncing
the-a-ter we must put the accent on
the first syllable. There are numerous
other words which, according to DIR.
Meredith, we pronounce enormously
every day, if there is slight difference
of opinion between that gentleman and
Messrs. Webster and Worcester. The

CLEAvEs & SYSTEMATICALLY the above
books and any other standard publica-
ton may be purchased at the popular
book and publishing house of Messrs.
Cleaves & Smithwick, No. 2S3 Main
street. These gentlemen always keep
up with'the march Of events, and as soon
as book is published it finds place on
their shelves. To this fact, in great
measure, is attributable the great popu-
larity of Messrs. Cleaves & Smithwick's
establishment.

The WHITE HOUSE, Everybody is con.

The SULPHUR WELL.-Who has not

lately discovered at the corner Of Ex-
change and Alabama streets2 The
whole town has been ringing with the
merits of the sulphur well ever since it
was first brought to notice, and we are
told that hundreds visit it daily in order
to test its medical properties. Messrs.
Levi & Bro, who are proprietors of the
well-known staple and fancy grocery
store at the corner of Alabama and Ex-
change streets, are likewise proprietors
of the sulphur well, and are doing a
flourishing business in both branches.

NEGRO RAvIsHER LYyoHED. Some
time ago a negro near Mason's Depot,
lay in wait for little girl who he knew
would soon come to the spring for water.
AS she appeared he ran quickly up be-
hind and threw bag over her head and
attempted to stiAe her cries by choking
her. The girls mother hearing the
cries of her daughter. soon put the black
fiend to fight. BE was soon afterward
captured by the constable, who took him
to Covington Jail that no one might
know where he was and carry out the
threats of lynching that had already
been made. A few evenings ago, how
ever, number of men went to the jail,
and taking the negro out by force, shot
him through the head and stabbed him.
They then went peaceably away.

The CoTToN CRoP.-It is now def
nitely settled that the total cotton re-
ceipts in this city for the seasons Of
1912 will exceed 3Sl 900 by only a
fraction of a hundred bales, and this
out of total crop Of 100000 bales.
With the prospect ahead there is every
probability that Memphis will receive
between half and three-quarters of a
million bales next season. The present
crop is estimated at 100000 bales, and
certainly Memphis will furnish mar
ket for at least one-eighth Of the entire
crop.
