In CHANGING over the columns
OF a paper the other day,
| read of the awful young lady
Who's in such an awful way.
She lives with her lawful father
In an awful grand stone house,
And sometimes is lawfully frightened
By seeing an awful mouse.
She learns such awful lessons,
And goes 20 an awful school;
The teacher il awful homey.
And, therefore. an awful fool
Mary Smith is an awful nice girl.
And she Is her awful good friend:
They took an lawful nice walk one day
But il came to an awful end
For they met an awful cross dog;
They awful afraid he would bite en-
And they ran home awful fast,
And SO forth. al iHHHitun3.
The writer was troubled In spirit
And asks what sense there l. in 1t
That IA modern young miss must say ''avful''
Full half dozen times minute!
And he gravely expressed his conviction
As kind and fatherly friend
That If they don't stop saying awful
They will come to an awful end.

THE COMING TINE.

I IT f NVWIN' I III u
when men forget their love OF gold
Aud love their honor more;
When truth is only current coin,
And counted o err and Ger;
When men love freedom for its sake
For all as well ~ one
And for the greatest good, their work,
From day to day Is done.
When men throw self aside and live
For some just purpose high
Then will the glorious era come
When none shall fear TO die-

Nor long since sleepy member of the
lower branch of the Legislature requested
a fellow member to wake him when a
certain bill involving the interests of
lumbermen came up. This agreed upon,
the sleepy member was soon in the happy
land of dreams. 1t so happened that a
certain bill upon theft and perjury came
up that day. SO when the latter bill was
fairly under way, the sleepy member was
aroused He, rubbing his eyes, 'rose, and
addressed the speaker: IN Speaker,
l wish to say a few words y On this bill,
for the fact is, the most of tn people up
our way make their living by this trade"
Ii is needless to add that his remarks
were appreciated and highly applauded.

Avoid the Net, Boys.

Come here, boys-let me speak to you:
Where are you geing? l heard one of
your company say, "Come, boys, let us
90 down to the saloon and get some
beer - is there where you are going :?
Hold on a moment that is bad place
for boys. / have known great many
persons begin at the saloon or liquor shop
and end in the State Prison. Did you ever
see the fisherman cast a net and draw In
the fish +? how the fish dive and flop and
try to escape, but can't. Did you ever
see birds caught in a snare or net p? Ii you
have seen pigeons in a net, you have no.
ticed how they try, but can't escape. Lis
ten to what the Bible tells you: AS the
fishes are taken in an evil net, and as the
birds that are caught in snare, so are
the sons of men shared in an evil time"
Every liquor saloon or rum shop is net
or snare if you go there you are in danger
of being caught. Shun it-kecp away.
If you begin drinking beer, you will soon
want still stronger drinks, and once start
ed on this track no one can tell where
YOU will end: but if you never take the
first drink-you will end sober men. How
easy, then, to escape becoming drunk
ard, to-wit: by never drinking drop OF
intoxicating drinks. Avoid the ale, the
beer, the lager-don't begin, and you Will
never get into the net or snare. Think or
five hundred thousand drunkards in
America, all caught in the net
Some try as hard as do the poor fishes
to escape, but in vain. Avoid the net,
BOYS, avoid the net! it is the cry of an
old sentinel Listen to the note of warn
ing-keep away from the dram shops.
\ poor drunkard tried to borrow five
dollars of me a few months ago. He
wandered around in drunkenness, and not
ten DAYS later was run over on IL railroad
track and killed. l knew him when
bright, promising boy. But he went to
the rum-shop, was caught in the net, and
in an evil hour ruin came suddenly upon
him. Keep out of the net

Carolina, october IL, 1885. In october, 1886, her
parents ernigrated to Aississippi, and settled at
Lamar. Here she grew up 70 womsnhood,
participating in all the Joys and sorrows OF
her neighbors, and WIS well known 10 all who
have lived here within the last quarter Of a
century. on the 5th day or December, 1886,
she was married to col. William B. smith, the
frie9d the watchfuI and warm friend, from
tbedsvs, - her childhood. six years Of happy
welded life rs.f nearly passed away, when
suddenly and almo,t without warning, on
The 18th Of September, lo.l-r she was taken
from this land Of sorrow TO one,. II eternal rest
Of family OF six brothers and TIN ee sisters
she was the first called away. Her bro,- aeTs
are distinguished merchants Of this and oua
sister state, and well known for their energy
and high commercial standing The sisters,
happily welded, live near the home Of their
early days, and possess every quality that
adorns and beauties women. No family
seemed bound together like this. The interest,
the pleasures, the sorrows Of one were those OF
the circle. Death, which brings so much be-
reavement for the living, had no terrors for

ing back upon her life Of Christian charity
and love, and filed with hope, the constant
companion Of the pure in heart, she bid fare
well without a murunur 70 all the eendearments
OF earth. To say that the death Of this highly
esteemed and honored woman is mourned By
all classes Of the community conveys no idea
Of the loss TO society, TO her relatives, TO her
noble little boy and heart broken husband.
With a splendid mind, highly improved By
reading and reflection, her advice and coun-
sci always commanded the highest cousidera-
ton. To her husband she was all thai IS com

loving, she was ever absorbed in the duties OF
home. Home, how sweet; now, how desOlste.
Who can estimate the bliss Of that home?

LITTLE Rock, October 1.-The Lib
eral Republican State Central Commit
tee to-day put into the field a new state
ticket. This is done under the authori-
! ty of the Liberal State Convention,
which assembled in this city on the
eighteenth Of June, and delegated au-
| thOrity 20 the committee 60 take such
action, if deemed necessary. The ticket
| is composed of four Liberals and seven
Democrats, as follows: For Governor,
Andrew Hunter; Lieutenant-GoyeTn0T,
J. G. Tapnan; Secretary of state, J. NJ.
johnson, Liberal; Auditor, w. r. Mel
lor; Treasurer, Thomas BOles, Liberal
Attorney-GeneTal, f. w. Compton; Su-
prene Judges, J. j. Clendenin and J. ID.
Walker; Superintendent of Education,
L.. d. Joyner: Superintendent Of the
Penitentfary, r. G.. Jennings, Liberal ;
Congressman at Large, J. N. Pomeroy,
Liberal.
Following the address which the
Liberals issue is another address, signed
by about one hundred Of the leading
Democrats of the State, recommending
the support OF the ticket.
The Gazette. the leading Democratic
paper Of the State, which has heretofore
reluctantly supported what is known a.
the Brooks State ticket, takes down the
latter and hoists the Liberal ticket. The
same action will be taken at once by the
majority of the Democratic papers Of the
State.
Mr.. Hunter, thenomineef for Governor,
is, perhaps, the most popular man in the
State. Every name ON the ticket is
strong, and its success is regarded as
certain by the friends of the movement.
The Electoral District Congressional
ticket remains as heretofore agreed upon.
The Governor has issued his instrue-
tions to the registrars, In them he ties
the registrars up in such a manner as 10
insure a fair registration.
The new temple Sons Of Israel, "
Little Rock, was dedicated with solemn
religious services on Sunday night. The
Gazette says: 1.-THE first story is fitted
up for a school-Foom-the second for re-
igiOus worship. In the latter all the
appointments are new and handsome.
Indeed, the edifice is one of the most
elegant in the city. From the floor to
the ceiling it is twenty feet. Around
the altar are twelve lights, with a red
light-called the unextinguishable-s
pended from the ceiling above. In the
center of the hall are cluster Of twelve
chandeliers which, added to the other
lights throughout the house, serve to
illuminate the building to the brightness
Of day. On the wall in rear of the altar
was the word 4" Consecration," +" made of
evergreen. Just under this We're two
tables Of stone, with the Ten Command
ments engraved thereon in Hebrew
characters. Just under this is the holy
ark. On the top of it is engraved in
Hebrew the word Jehovah" A blue
curtain or veil hid the ark from view.
On it was painted the crown Of glory.
