N. A.. Brewster recently performed the re

Randolph county, Ala, shot across Calhoun

One tree marks the corners of four coun-

More About the First Lady.
From the hiladelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Miss Cleveland has settled in a common
sense, practical way the much discussed ques-
ton Of who is the first lady in the land.
Several days ago the necessity for some
house cleaning supervision having arisen, she
routed her social opponents by tying a towel
around her head and in unpretentious dress
personally directed the corps of servants as
to the manner in which the work had to be
DONE 1t may be assumed that there will be
some cutlery by those who attempt to sway
polite society against any such homely argu-
ment as this, but it is equally probable that
the masses of the people viii uphold Miss
Cleveland for her unassuming conduct. The
leading lady in the land ought to be able to
lead in the matter of overseeing homework
as well as in the more fashionable but less
useful occupations of dancing german or
disseminating the latest society gossip.
Somehow there is streak of homely COM
mon sense running through the Cleveland
family that stamps them as being very Amer
lean in their ideas.

..HR LEADETH ME-"
selected for the Democratic Advocate.
BY NARY VERNON.

Ia pastures greeng Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best in kindness leadeth me
In many ways, where heavy shadows be;
ont Of the sunshine, warm and soft and bright,
ont of the sunshine into darkest night.
/ oft would faint with sorrow and alright
Only for this-I know he holds my hand;
So. whether in green or desert land,
trust, although may not understand.
And by still waters? ~ No, not always so;
Outlines the heavy tempests round me blow,
And Ger my soul the waves and pillows go.
But when the storms beat the loudest, and cry
Aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, 10, it isIw
Above the tempest wild hear him say
eBcyond the darkness lies the perfect day.
In every path of which lead the way
So whether on hill tops high and fair
dwell or in the soulless valleys where
The shadows lie, what matter? He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead,
lie gives to me no helpless, broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where he leads me can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter shall know
Why in His wisdom He hath led me so.
