Ceres smiles and promises he

supply of corn. "Old Sop is beam
ing his rays upon US in hot profu
sion, which causes us to seek the
pleasant shade. Cupid is letting
fy his darts in our midst to a won
derful extent just now, if we can
credit our senses of seeing and hear

forded the devotees of pleasure, and
worshipers at Cupid's shrine last
Saturday to understand the relative
position of each other, and if we
understand the bushes that mount
ed the cheeks of the fair ones, the
sparks of love that flashed from the
eyes of the boys in their trunk
clothes, as they perambulated our
streets after engaging IN a game OF
croquet, we are forced to the con-
clusion that new victims will be
sacrificed at the altar of hymen ere
long. Such a prodigious cOngrega-
ton of beauty and loneliness never
congregated so near your correspon-
dent before, and of course accident
al chances occasionally could not be
avoided. 1t was another croquet
party given by Miss Fannie Parker.
who is a model of sociability, and
entertains her guests in princely
style. 1t was on the programme to
explore the Bat cave, but none
could be found courageous enough
to act as guide. Nearly all the
young folks IN this vicinity were
present and seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely.
Our worthy pastor delivered a
very impressive sermon on "Judge
not, lest we be judged by the
same judgemen," at Hebron Sunday
before last. During his remarks he
said that it was not q christian act
to Judge a man by the character OF
his appearances. 1t is ungentleA
manly to discard a man because he
is encased in mud boots and brown
jeans; perhaps his circumstances dc
not permit any better. and if he
pays his honest debts, cheats and
defrauds no one, he is more enti-
tied to be called a gentleman than
those whose bills go unpaid for the
sake of fashion. 1t is wrong to
charge a soldier with cowardice be-
cause he is found on the edge of the
battlefield covered with wounds and
mangled by the carriage wheels.

as well, and bathed his sword in the
life blood of more of his enemies
than his accusers. Judge not an
erring man harshly; perhaps a kind
word would redeem him and then
you would have the consolation OF
knowing that you had done some
good in the world. of which you
need not be ashamed. When an
erring sister falls, the people rush
madly on and drive the vic
tim of some broadcloth ''gentleman"
into the abyss of woe and ruin, when
few kind words with gentle and
wooing conduct would bring back
the lost spirit, and soul would be
saved. But no; the poisoned tongue
of SANDER is directed against the vic
tim and its aim is accomplished.
1t seems that Cogswelrs perfect gen

scarce ingredient in the compost

This section has been visited by
several showers of rain lately, re

they will continue until a good croE

Death has again robbed oul
neIghborhood of one of its little
| flowers--Mary Eta, daughter o
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Hays. Only
four years was it permitted TO en-
liven the parental home, and ther
the grim messenger came and sum
moned the little innocent to the 9th

and watching to gather up the pure

1t is the first broken link of the
chain that bound the family here
but we hope they will be reunited
on the "other side" We tender
our sympathy to the grief stricken
parents. Intelligence of the death
of Miss Mildred HarRood of Dry
Creek reached our community last
Saturday evening shortly after its
occurrence. She was the only sur
viving daughter of five children and
was of remarkable business tact.
Her mother only survives and like q
tree shorn of its limbs she stands
prominent among her peers.
