tho court house and at the voting pla,
affected for thirty days, and then the CO..
may act.

although proved my competency, they
would not take me. / had been down on
my luck and looked old and shabby. An
idea struck me, got up new growth Of
hair with Parker's Hair Balsam, raised
decent suit Of clothes, applied again, and
they took me in a minute" So writes
clerk with $4,000 salary. The moral is
plain. Parker's Hair Balsam gives per-
son a new face.

Carlisle (Pa.) Herald: Gorton's
original New Orleans Minstrels per-
formed in the Opera House last
evening to a delighted audience.
The house was a good one, although
not packed, and that the perform
ance was appreciated was evident
by the continual laughter. The
overture was good, the songs, and
jokes new. Mr.. Walter Wentworth
gave the most wonderful exhibition
of contOrtion ever seen in Carlisle,
performing with apparent ease
seemingly impossible feats. The
military clog was very fine, as were
also the special clog dances of the
German brothers. The comic pam
tomine was immense, the audience
fairly screaming with laughter.
The entertainment all through is
first-class, and should be greeted
with crowded houses everywhere

Thomas Cosby Smith.

Thomas Cosby Smith, better known by
his nickname Jack" died early Sunday
morning, March 9th 1884, at the residence
of Chestnut and Harrison streets. He was
only sick few days with pneumonia. Had
he lived until the 23d of this month he
would have been Is years of age. His kind
heart made him n friend to every one. 1t
was always a pleasure to meet him, and
look into those fSrge eyes and that cheerful
face. His soul was full of sunshine, and
fun twinkled in his eyes. He gained the
confidence and won the affections of those
for whom he worked, the teachers who
taught him, the scholars who studied with
him, and was the hope, the joy and the in
spiration of his home. He was industrious
and studious. y boy of the best habits.
Night never found him on the street or
away from home. With the best of books,
for which he had keen relish, and with
his family he spent his evenings. On the
evening of that dreadful storm few weeks
ago, he-was busy saving those whose lives
were in peril. There are some who say
they have no doubt he saved them from a
watery grave.
1t was his delight to grant a request to
help a person.
A short time before his death he came
fully to himself and talked as its given to
few of the dying to talk. He sent messages
of love to those who were far away as well
as dear ones at home. He prayed most fer
vently for all he knew. Precious words
they were to parents; ever will they be
kept as the choicest treasures in their MEM
ory, vet words too sacred to be babbled TO
the world. Then shall the dust return to
the earth as 1t was and the spirit unto the
God who gave II.
"There surely is some blessed cline,
Where life is not breath,
Nor life'S affection transient fire.
Whose sparks fly upward to expire"

A Golden Hedd,nn-Plus SIR.


More than once have the members
of the Baptist church enjoyed them
selves in social meeting at their
PASTORS residence. Last Tuesday
March, 18th, the shrewdness of the
Baptist Sisters was ingeniousIy and
successfully displayed in decoying
Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Sears from
their home to spend the day with a
friend who lives in the suburbs of
the city, that on their return in the
late afternoon the Sisters might
have tables spread and everything
arranged in wedding attire, as
surprise to the beloved and venera-
BILE couple with celebration of the
6tty-sirh anniversary of their mar
riage. The surprise was complete,
and proved most agreeable, and the
occasion more than ordinarily en-
joyable. Many kind congratulations
were exchanged and full many were
the ardent wishes for the much fur
ther continuation of the lives, hap
piness and usefulness of the beloved
pastor and his wife-and so may it
be,

THE GAINESVILLE Wagon Factory
has just finished two light-running
spring wagons for the Huntsville,
Ala, Ice Company, which are
things of beauty and models of the
wagon makers art. One is a two
horse wagon, capable of carrying
5000 pounds, and the other is a
smaller vehicle intended for light
delivery. They are covered with
heavy duck and elegantly finished
of by artistic strokes of the paint
brush. The factory expects to make
two more soon, to be used in Birm-
ingham, Ala. This shows what
sort of a business the wagon factory
Is doing, and the superiority of the
wagons proves that it can turn out
work equal to that of any factory in
the country.
