Treatment some time since, and have no

THEPREsENCE OF DEATH.
Zines referring to the death of little Lula.I
Close the door lightly,
Bride the breath,
Our little earth angel
Is talking with death;
Gently he woos her,
She wishes to stay,
His arms are about her,
He bears her awayl
Music comes floating
Down from the dome;
Angels are chanting
The sweet welcome home.
Come, stricken weeper,
Come to the bed,
Gaze on the sleeper,
Our darling is deadl
smooth out the rinelets,
Close the blue eyes;
No wonder such beauty
Was ella me in the skies.
Cross the hands gently
DER the white breast,
So like pure spirit
Strayed from the blest
Bear her out softly,
This loved one of ours,
Let her grave SAUNDERS
BE mid the sweet flowers.

How Not TO Get Local News

paying his subscription, said:

neatly printed, ornamentcd with a
handsomely engraved head, and con-
saining about forty-eight columns of

we. "But my dear sir, do you find
much news concerning our county in
n?"
"No, he didn't know that he had
fonnG any"
"Do You find anything about our
Statc?"
"No, lie never did"
And yet he nc cded that sheet much
more than lie did his county paper.

What Farmers Succeed.

That farmer will succeed who makes
up his mind that the whole secret of
success is in himself, that it is tile
man and not the business that tells.
He will succeed if he brings TO bear
the same amount of skill, forethcught,
energy, economy and judgment, that
an" other branch of business requires.
He will succeed if he sticks close to
his farm, rs the mechanic does to his
shop, and not expect to work three
or four months and then take his
ease the rest Of the year. That farm
cr will succeed who takes the papers
and d;gcsts what he reads, and is not
afraid Of new ideas and new methods
of industry. He will succeed if il is
his intention, that whatever he sends
to market shall be The very best, and
so made and put up that when seen
it will be captivating for its freshness,
cleanliness and purity, and will bc
unhcasitatinSly taken on account OF
his well known character for honesty
Of weight, measure and count. Those
who tarc farms may think themselves
fortunate, for although they will not
thereby Hnd sudden roitis 10 wealth,
they certainly prove that persistent
farm labor will bring sure reward.
1t is worthy Of notice, that the adycn-
turcr and spcculator, with blasted
hopes and shattered health and for
tune, have in the end to come back
to the farm for health and safety.
Agriculture is the basis Of national
strength and wealth, and a most GER
tain and liberal support of all who
follow it intelligently.

will have been made plain to the

Of some more reconstruction. IfAIr.
Charles II. Noises statement is true
then are the people Of Sumter very
stupid, and sadly in need Of corrcc-

Don't Get the Bio Head.

Don't get too big for your brccchcs
just because you are little prosper
'ous, and have a few more dollars
than some of your less fortunate
'ncighoors. Many a man much bet
ter off than you are has come to his
wallet and staff. Before the war we
remember to have heard n then rich
man say that he was never to work
in the field. That same man to-day
is Rploughing an OK and splitting
rails. Facts-and, if we felt SO dis
posed, could name him. Go slow on
your moonshine prosperity and riches,
for you may yet tumble. Don't get
the big head, but take your prcsperi-
ty slow--yon may get under tie
weather, and yet be glad TO have
your poor neighhors recognize you.

The tenor Of the argument INDUCED in
by those in favor OF RENTING the back
penalties due the State from the Bonanza
firm, is that the State Treasury is in a
plethoric condition, and that the Con.
Virginia and California mines are on a
decline; hence, Flood & Co. ought to be
relieved from paying debt honestly due.
The Eureka Leader very truthfully re-
marks, that the Nevada Bank, whose
millions were accumulated by the out
pouring OF wealth from those proper
ties. do not deal with their debtors in
this way. They demand principal and
interest, and the nearer their clients are
to failure the more persistent their en-
deayors to collect. 1t will not be very
heavy drain on the Golfers of the bank to
settle tho little account, and any relief
bill introduced should be unanimously
voted down. No amount of sophistry or
whining should interfere to lretard the
collection OF the penalties.
