I'M STILL FRIEND TO YOU.

I'M STILL A FhlEND L " 1OOs
All! years have come and gone, dear Tom,
The past seems like dream,
Since you and together met.
Down by the winding stream:
When hand in hand we promised, Tom,
To each we would be true;
Old time has made no change in me,
I'm still friend to you.
How often have wept, dear Tom,
When thinking DER the joys,
The happy scenes of long ago,
When you and I were boys;
But now Pm told you're very poor,
And your days in life are few,
It gives me joy to meet you, Tom
I'm still friend to you.
Old friendship often withers, Tom,
Whene'er man grows poor,
The rich and proud forget "old friends
And know them then no more.
But keep that honest heart of yours,
Well make old friendship new;
care not what the world may say,
I'm still friend to you.

ANEcDoTE OF L1NcoLS.--"One day."
said Mr.. Lincoln, "when first came here, l
got into fit of musing in my room, and
stood resting my elbows on the bureau.
Looking into the glass, it struck me what an
awful ugly man 1 was. The fact grew on
me, and made up my mind that I must be
the ugliest man in the world. 1t so mad.

streets waiting for him. He soon came along

him; SAY your prayers for I'm going to shoot
you.'"
"Why, Mr.. Lincoln, what's the matter :
what have I done?"
II made an oath that if I ever saw man
ugler than am, I'D shoot him on the spot.

"Well, Mr.. Lincoln" replied Andy, delib-

"If am uglier, fire a0ay"
The RIVAL BoYs.-A couple of diminu-
tive specimens of the genus small boy were
together on Liberty street, one spinning a
gorgeous.colored humming. top, and the other
gazing on the toy with look in which COM
bination of admiration and envy was plainly
depicted. Finally the owner Of the top said
to the other boy:
"Why don't your dad buy you top like
this?'
"'Cause I wouldn't have top like that
nv dads sent off to Columbia for top wha
plays an organ like there is up at the Metho.
dist church, and sings Hold the Fort" and
"Yankee Doodle Dandy"

say he couldn't pay his store bill, and that
your mother had to turn her last years al
paca, to look half way decent at church last
Sunday"
"Well, don't care, any way" sobbed out
the topless boy, "our baby's got fits, and your
folks amt even got no baby to have 'em."
Then the boy with the top shook hands
across the bloody chasm by letting the other
boy spin his top 'jest once"
The BISHOPS JoKE.-Bishop Clark, of
Rhode Island, always will have his joke, and
it's worth having, too. Once upon time,
he visited one of his parishioners, lady with
a prodigious family, which had recently been
increased. As he rose to leave, the lady stop.

arrangements to secure pastor. According.
ly, in the spring of 1882, call was made out
and presented to the Rev. Francis Cummins.
The call was accepted, and late in the same
year, or early in 1888, he was ordained and
Installed pastor of Bethel Church. The con-
gregation still continued to grow and ex.
pand partly from immigration and partly
from accessions from the inhabitants of the
country. Again the number of the elders was
increased. Joseph Mckenzie, Alexander Ea-
kins, William Davis and Andrew Floyd were,
in due form, according to the rules of Pres
byteranism, ordained to this sacred office.
Again the congregation became vacant by
the resignation of the Rev. Francis Cummins,
This took place April 18th, 1889.
About this time, the congregation, which
heretofore, had greatly prospered, and that,
too, under very unfavorable circumstances,
began to exhibit signs of decay. The people
became divided among themselves, and some
of them disaffected toward their pastor. The
result, in part, at least, of this disaffection,
was the formation of new congregation, to
which, the name of Olney was given. This
separation took place some time in the year
1898.
During the pastorate of Mr. Cummins-on
the 22d of March, 1786-Bethel Church
was incorporated by the Legislature of South
Carolina.
The Reverend, afterward Dr. Cummins,
was frequently in the army during the Revo'
lutionary war, and after the war closed, he
was, in 1888, chosen by the people of York
county, a member of the Convention which
adopted the Constitution of the United States.
His colleagues voted against adopting it; he
voted for it. He moved to Greene county,
Georgia, and died about 1928, loved and re:
spected BY all who knew him. He preached
to one congregation, in Georgia, more than
twenty-three years.
Again the congregation remained vacant
for a period of about seven years, or from April
18th, 1889, to July 7th, 1896. At this time
the Rev. George G. McWhorter was ordained
and installed pastor of Bethel and Beersheba
congregations The withdrawal of that por.
ton Of Bethel congregation which formed
Olney, made it necessary that union be

A man BY the name Of Phil. Mcguire
made complaint to Marshal Kelly, las,
night, to the effect that his pocketbook had
been stolen from him some time during the
evening, but he could not tell when, how,
where or by whom il had been taken. He
said that he had been into numerous
business houses in the early part Of the
night, and it might have been taken from,
him while he was in one of them. He did
not state how much money there was in the
pocketbook, nut gave the officer . pretty
minute description of . silver quarter it
contained.
1t appears that there is a great deal of
thieying being done in Sedalis of late, and
it behooves the people to keep . sharp
lookout on their feathers.
Kansas City is vasing . relentless war
on her gamblers and vagrants, and COM
polling them to leave the city or 90 to the
work-house, and Why can't Sedslia do the
same thing' The town il nearly overrun
with vass and confidence men, Who continue
their depredaiIons regardless Of the Law.
Sedalia has . vagrant Law, and n il has
never been properly enforced, nov would be
the right time to commence its strict en-.
forcement. II the authorities vcald take
this matter in hand, and arrest every VI.
grant and blackleg in the city. they would
probably give Sedalis wide berth in the
future.
