THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES

A RE the Best, Simplest and most Dura-
II BILE in use. 1t has been greatly i'm
proved in the last few months, although the
old was very good. There are over six hun
dred of them in doily use in this County,
giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy o
Machine, "so-called," for less money, but if
YOU want to be satisfied after you purchase,
always get the best. This Company sell
more than all the rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. The Singer was the first to
reduce the price, and of course the minors
had to follow, and they had to come little
below the Singer, or else they would have to
abandon business, for know from expert
ence that parties say if you will take for
the Singer what can get another at, l will
take the Singer all the time. What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, s35, $40 and SIS, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout in the nice adjustment of
their parts. &c.
The best criterion that can give you as
to my opinion of the different machines, is
my connection with this famous Machine
for nine years in succession.
Machines sold on easy terms. Machines
of all makes repaired ut short notice, and
prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al
ways on hand. Come and see me before
you buy. Upstairs, over Barr e. Fant's

DR.. and Mrs. ]. T. McFall have the SYM
pathy of our community in the loss of their
infant child, Wade, handsome little boy
of IS months, who died on last Saturday
from the effects of measles. Beautiful and
solemn funeral services were performed on
Sunday by Revs. j. s. Murray and D. E.
! Friersen, after which the remains OF the
little child were inferred in the Baptist
Church Yard.
One night last week some thief broke
into Mr.. VIM. Riley's smoke house and
helped himself to about eighty pounds Of
bacon. Certain parties are suspected of the
crime, but no arrests have been made. The
offense Is grave one, and should, if possi-
BILE be fereted out. Its penalty is hanging,
and it seems that nothing short of this Sc
yere punishment will prevent some rogues
from appropriating property which belongs
to other people.

How to Talk.

To talk well is talent not possessed
by all. Yet it is easily acquired. Fam
iliarize yourself with the exact meanings
and the nice uses Of words by the study
of synonyms. You can be careful in
your daily conversation to avoid false, or
vicious. or low forms of expression, un-
der which head group everything
which belongs to the dictionary of slang,
and you can be equally careful to speak
well. A little care in the choice Of
words at home, and in your ordinary
talk, would be repaid. If we were half so
earnest in the formation Of our habits
of conversation as We are in trying to
gain other accomplishments, there would
be a great additional charm given to
the intercourse of society. Bear in
mind that simplicity is elegance, and
pedantry is generally only transparent
self,conccit. The word which most
directly conveys your meaning is the
best vehicle of your thought. Secondly
you can read every day some good,
strong, tcrse author, whose style will
inseuslbly form and color yours. Need,
ing to give scope and vigor to your i'm
asination, read, after the Bible, Shakes
peare and Milton. Never be without
some volume which will help and feed
you, and stimulate your own thoughts to
new flights.

The Real Hero.

In 1893 the Prussan officers Of the
garrison of Colbarg established an eco
noncal mess, Of which certain poor emf.
grants were glad to partake. They ob.
served one day an old major Of hussars,
who was covered with the scars ofwounds
received in the Seven Years War, and
half hidden by enormous gray musta-
chios. The conversation turned on
ducls. A young, stoutbuilt cornet begin
TO prate in an authoritative tone on the
subject.
"An1 you. major, how many duels
have you fought ~
"None, thank Heaven" answered the
old hussar, in a subdued voice ;"I have
fourteen wounds, and Heaven be praised,
there is not one on my back ; so that |
may be permitted to say that I feel my
self happy in pever having fought a
duel"
"But you shall fight one with me"
exclaimed the cornct, reaching across to
give him blow.
The majar, agitatcd, graspcd the table
to assist himself in rising, when unani-
nous cry was raised:
"Don't stir, major"
All the officers present joined in seiz-
ing the cornet, when they threw him out
of the window, and sat down again at the
table as if nothing had occurred.

Difference Between a Gold Boy

Sunday afternoon policeman walking
along Columbis street east caught sight

A New Way to Collect Whiskcy
Taxes.

In Mississippi plan has been pro.
posed for collecting money to run the
State government which is claimed to
be much superior to the Moffett whiskey
register now in opperation iu Virginia.
Books of coupons would be sold by the
Mississippi State auditor to all liquor
dealers. When the drink is sold the
consumer receives coupon, which en-
titles him to receive from the State in
payment of his taxes one cent. IF two
drinks are to be paid for he receives an
orange colord coupon good for two cents.
IF Eve drinks blue paper good for FIVE
cents. No, ONLY would the State enjoy
an income from the tax on drinks, but
the consumer. have a reasonable chance
Of paying off his taxes with orange
and blue coupons. Then might the sa-
looms be crowded with men making out
their taxes. Who would ever have ex-
pected that the popularity Of whiskey
could be employed to overcome the un-
popularity cf taxes?

Attractive Homes.

There is use in beauty. 1t makes
home attractive, its interior more re-
spectacle, our lives happier our disposi-
tions sweeter, and our social and domestic
intercourse more refined. By all means
plant some little thing of fgrace to tenn
per the rugged surroundings Of the
front yard. Its silent, though eloquent
language, will speak to the visitor or
passer-by word of eulogy for you. The
teart flower or shrub will be some attrac-
ton, curved path winding between
trees to the house mound Of stones
and shell with the ivy trailing over them,
the Towering shrubs or the turf or fern,
all such things are attractive and form
pleasing object for the cye Of even
the most Indifferent beholders.-Mes-

Present Happiness.

The great secret of gaining happiness
in life is to enjoy the present. 10 be
doing one thing and thinking of another,
is very unsatisfactory mode of spend
ing life. Some people are always wish
ing themselves somewhere but where
they are, or thinking of something else
than what they are doing, or of some
body else than to whom they are speaks
ing. This is the way to enjoy nothing
to do nothing well, and to please nobody.
1t is better to be interested in inferior
pcrson, and things than to be indiffer-
ent with the best. A principal cause
Of this Indifference is the adoption OF
other peoples tastes instead of our
own--thc pursuit after that for which
we are not fitted, and to which, conse.
qnentlv, We arc not in reality inclined
This folly pcrvades, moro or less, all
classes, and arises from errors of build
ing our enjoyment on the false founda-
ton of the worlds opinion, instead OF
being, with due regard to others, each
our own world.

A woman has no natural gift more be-
wtching than a sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound of flutes on the water.
1t leaps from her in clear, sparkling
rill and the heart that hears it, feels as
if bathed in a cool. exhilarating spring.
Have you ever passed 40 unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by fairy laugh
now here, and now there, now lost, now
found ? We have-and We arc pursuing
that wandering voice to this day. Some
times it comes to Us in the mists of care,
or sorrow, or irksome business, and then
we turn away and listen, and hear it
ringing through the room like a silver
bell, with power to scare away the evil
spirits of the mind. How much we owe
that sweet laugh? 1t turns the prose
to poetry. 1t filings showers Of sunshine
over the darkness of the wood in which
We are travelling; it touches with light

image Of death, but is consumed with
dreams that are shadows of Immortality.

ONE BY ONE.
By CHARLES DICKENS.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fa!l;
Some are coming. some are going
To not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee;
Let thy whole strength 60 to each;
Let no fi,ture dreams elatc thee.
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one bright gifts from Heaven,
JOYS are sent thee from above;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them move.
One by one these gifts shall melt thee
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not laugh at life's long SORROW.
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow
Every day begin again.
Every day that fleets so Slowly
Has ITS task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If they set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting.
Or for passing hours despond;
Nor the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links. Gods token
Reaching heaven-but one by one,
Take them. lest the chain be broken,
Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

An Elephant on the Track.

As a railroad train was passing
through the forest, about thirty-dve
miles from Rangoon. India, a short
time ago, driven by Mr.. Stono, locomo-
tive superintendent, assisted by Mr..
Stewart, locomotive fireman, large
elephant was seen to break through the
fence and get on the line. Steam was
shut Of, and Mr.. Stono tried to open
the waste cock, which being in front of
the engine, would, by ejectiug hot
water ahead, induce "tusks" to leave
the track 1t could not be readily
opened. and the engine was soon upon
the unfortunate beast. The brute had
turned and fed on seeing the engine,
but was speedily caught. The buffer
beams of the engine being very low, the
beasts hind legs were taken from under
him, and he was forced to sit down as
it were, with his headquarters against
the smoke house door, which was, Of
course, red hot. The poor beast man.
aged to keep his fore feet going. though
hustled along faster than ever he had
gone in his Ifs before, and in few
minutes the train cane to standstill and
he got away. He moved of the line
at double.quick uprooted clump of
bamboo, then wreaked dire vengeance
on tree, and was] last seen rushing
through the jungle, tearing and smashing
everything 10 his path. He was sadly
cut and burned in the hindquarters,
and will probably never be of any use
again. The mahout luckily escaped
with his life, while those on the engine
may safely congratulate themselves on
their escape.-Ranyoon (Mla) Times.

Give Thanks Unto the Lord.

Gol's goodness is shown US every day.
Ho makes the rain and sunshine and
the grain to grow, giving "seed to the
sower and bread to the eater" He
blcsses us with health and life; and for
all these things We should be sincerely
thankful to him. The Psalmist tells US
tina. "it is good thing to give thanks
to the Lord" and we never should for
get to thank Him every day for His
many mcrcics and blessings.

The Blessing Of Freedom.

Freedom is the natural school of en-
crgy and enterprise. Freedom is the
appropriate sphere of talent and virtue.
The soul was not mad: to walk in fet-
ters. TO act powerfully, it must act
freely; and it must act, too, under all
the far incentives Of an honest and
honorable ambition. This applies cs'
pecialy to the mass Of the people. There
may be minds, and there are, which find
a suliciet incentive to exertion, in the
love of acknowlcd cement, in the single
aim at perfrction. But this is not, aud
cannot be. the condition of the mass of
minds. They need uthcr impulses.
Open then, | say, freely and widely to
every individual, the way to wealth, to
honor, to social respect and to public
office, and you put life into any people.
Impart that principle to nation OF
Turks, or even of Hindoos, and it will
be as resurrection from the dead. The
sluggish spirit will be aroused; the
languid nerve will be strung to new
energy there will be a stir of action
and spring to industry all over the
country, because there will be a motive.
Alas how many poor toilers in the
world are Obliged to labor without re-
ward, without hope, almost without mo-
tive Like the machinery amidst which
thew labor, and of which they are
scarcely more than part, they are
moved by the impulse of blind nccessl-
,y. The single hope of bcttering their
condition, which now, alas never visits
them. would regenerate them to new
