what Is Caused by Stripping steep Land
of Its Covering Of Trees.
But there is further mischief, which,
as being more widely difussed, is less
sure 10 be assigned to the true cause
the stripping steep land Of its covering
Of trees: 't..r.. .t.., ri,,
/. There is the failure of springs, be-
cause water of precipitation, which
should have been delayed upon the hili-
sides by the roots, sprouts, MOSES,
fallen leaves, etc., which fill and cover
the surface Of the ground under for
est, till it could find the underground
spring-sources, runs of the bare slopes
in a few hours. Dry springs mean
parched pastures, small crops, and un-
profitable husbandry. a.u.. .au
2. The increased cost of buildings,
bridges, furniture and implements Of
all sorts, which are, in whole or in part,
made of wood. A large item in the
current expenses Of railroads is the OUT
lay for ties, which must be renewed fro
quently. Wood for fuel or structural
uses is prime necessity of civilized
life; and, as 1t is bulky, its cost in
creases rapidly with the distance itmust
be carried TO reach the consumer
Many countries have no stores Of coal
or peat, and must have wood, or be
sorely stinted for fuel; that stinting Is a
waste Of time, health and vitality.
Floods make the maintenance of roads
difficult and costly, and 80, of course,
increase the expense Of whatever must
he hauled over them, especially any
thing so bulky as wood Further,
scarcity Of timber means the cessation
of many lucrative industries which use
wood for their raw material, and which
are especially desirable as affording en-
ployment during portions Of the year,
when agriculture or the care Of aocks
does not call for all Of the farmers s
time.
IS. There Is the arrangement Of
climate and rainfall. II is by no means
certain that, at least, in some situa-
tions, more rain viii not fall In . year
upon well-wooded than, upon bare
region. Certainly, what does fall win
not evaporate, and be carried away by
the winds as quickly. Sudden changes
of temperature, and the resulting yio-
lent winds are also liable TO occur where
woods abound. A forest is a better bar
rier against wind than q stone wall oi
equal height, because 1t divides It's force,
and does not stop II all at once, causing
eddies and rebounds which may, Dc
damage elsewhere.--S. W. PetceA. n

GROWING OLD.

We arc growing old together,
John and l:
We have seen youths precious morning
Swiftly fly;
We have seen life's summer bloom,
Quick, for autumn shade, make room;
We have watched tho rustling flight
OF life's songs out of sight;
We have known the hopes and fears
Crowding full llfe's busy years;
All the changes, who can tell,
Since love rang out wedding bell2
Iife's great Joy, that came, we know,
~f.-o-and-twenty years agoV
We have planned and hoped together,
John and 1;
We have sowed. to reap together,
By and by;
Not the good for which we CROPPED,
Not the harvest that We hoped,
Always waited; but no frost
Over homes threshold ever crossedl
Como what might, of good or Ill,
Mutual love kept shining still;
And when life some Joy denied,
Love still found us side by side,
With the trust we learned to know
Flve-and-twenty years agoW
We have lived and toiled together,
John and /;
We have mourned and wept together,
John and L; ...r.
We have clasped in tender arms
Babyhood's sweet wlnsome charms;
And the church-yard holds name
Only John and can claim;
While from childhood's homes we miss
A fathers smile and mothers kiss,
Yet our clinging hearts will say:
~Wo will walk life's chosen way
Just the way we learned TO know"
"flve-and-twenty years ago"
We must walk life's shadowy valley
John and i;
Locks Of brown will turn TO silver
By and by;
Lines win mark the once smooth face
Care and grief will leave their trace;
Hands win not so lightly move,
Love, by tender tasks TO prove;
Feet will slow and slower take
Countless steps, for loves sweet sake;
But, dear heart, what can we ask
More than this, that age may bask
In loves rays, that frightened so,
~Five-and-twenty years ago."

AN .OLD GUARD"
: Miniature Soldier of the Battalion in

: Miniature Soldier of the Battalion in
the Uniform of Ante Bellum Days
The Miniature Savannah Volunteer
Guard, in the uniform of the command in
1928 and the years intervening between
that year and the beginning of the late
war, is on exhibition at the Forest City
table at the Guards Fair, placed there
by Messrs. Wanamaker Il Brown, of Phil
adelphia. Accompanying the miniature
are SIX photographs OF the figure taken by
Mr.. ID. j. Ryan.
The miniature, or, cold Guard" as he
is named by the members Of the COM
maud, is thirty-five inches in height and
is dressed in uniform of the most costly
of dark blue cloth, with trimmings and
facings in British scarlet relieved by silver
lace edgings, and ornaments and buttons
of silver. The breast of the coat is scar
let, relieved by twenty miniature infantry
butt Ons, each showing an eagle with out
stretched wings and the letter ''l'' in bold
relief. Four similar buttons ornament
the collar at the front, while ten of cor
responding size are shown on the tail
of the coat, which is also faced with
British scarlet. The stripe on the
pants is Of scarlet, faced with silver,
while at the bottom of the pants are
the Old-time splaterdashers of leather.
each bearing six eXquisitely moulded but
tons of silver with an eagle and the letter
Il. as shown on the larger buttons. The
epaulettes are diminutive in size, but per-
fect fac-simles of the larger epaulettes
worn by the Guards siXty-three years
ago. The cross and waist belts each one
inch wide, the cartridge box showing the
letters ;. V G. in silver. and the bayOnet
sheath, tipped according to the regu-
latiOn pattern, were made by
Mr. Henry Black, of this city. The
waist belt buckle was presented
bv Mr. +. w. SymOns when it was found
impossible to procure miniature of the
military buckle worn by the Guards before
the war. The hat is 6 inches in height
aud 455 inches in diameter inside the
band. 1t is of patent leather crown, lined
inside with morocco and coral satin,
and Ornamented on the exterior by two
silver buttons, a silver visor, two silver
representations of an eagle, each bearing
4 shield on the breast, on the front and
on one side, and two plumes. One of
the plumes of blue feathers eX-
tends from the band on the right of
the hat and over the crown to the
band on the left side. The other plume is
Of red and white feathers, and is placed in
a vertical position on the right of the hat.
The band referred to is two inches wide
and Of genuine leopard skin, imported
from Europe expressly for this hat. The
miniature uniform was manufactured in
accordance with the style shown by
large uniform kindly loaned for the pur-
pose by Col. b. f. Bee. All the buttons
and facings were scaled down with so
much accuracy that the representation
was generally regarded as perfect by the
assemblage who attended the fair last

The Colouitt Belt Heard From.

Last week the MORNING NEWS, in
alluding to the Colquitt prize belt, which
was won by Lieut.. George P. Walker, OF
the Chatham Artillery, at the Rome en-
campment in 1880, and which was never
presented, having probably been forgotten,
suggested that before the prize was
awarded at the coming eneampment
Lieut.. Walker should at least have the
privilege of a look at it. The Rome
Courier, in explanation OF the matter,
says that in fact the belt was forgotten
until the subject of the coming encamp-
ment was agitated. when 1t was brought
to the notice Of the Executive Committee
that it had never been presented TO
the winner. An order was promptly sent
to the Pettibone Manufacturing Com
pany of Cincinnati, to make and for
ward a suitable belt as soon as posi-
BILE. Last week the committee received
a roughly finished SIS belt from Cincin-
natl, which they promptly returned to
the manufacturers as entirely too cheap
and shOddy to serve the purpose for which
it was intended. But Mr.. Harry john
son, who is now in New York, is having a
handsome belt manufactured for the
Galatians and will bring it back with him
about the Sth of Nav. And this elegant
trophy will be Immediately forwarded to
the gallant Lieut.. Walker. The Courier
also adds that the people of Rome will not
feel that the encampment is complete I'M
less the dashing Chathams have quarters
on the ground, and their plumed helmets
can be seen moving with the marching
squadrons.

The above heading of our advertisement
is quotation in one of Shakespeare's
plays. But we take the liberty of using
it in reference to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling
belOl0 cost, and the other he or they are
the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a
basket to carry them away in, and all
such blowing, which does not amount to
a row of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our
future. 1t is true we advertise, and that
extensively, but do not say more than we
can justly come up to. We only adver-
tise to let the public knew we are still
alive and in the Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods business. B. H. Levy
