Gently Put on the Market.
lRock Hill Is. O. Hernld.1
On Tuesday last Mr.. r. e. Guthrie, adj
ministrator OF the estate OF the late j. Har-
vey williamson, of Bethesda township,
sold two bales OF cotton on this market
which was raised by slave labor on Mr..
Williamson's plantation In 1862, nearly a
quarter Of century ago. On account Of
the war there was no satisfactory market
for cotton, and Of the crop raised that
year Mr.. Williamson stored several bales
under his house until the times might im-
prove. After the war had ended, Mr..
Williamson snapped three bales Of the
cotton with the late d. r. 8. Blake for a
mule. The remainder was retained. Af-
terward Mr.. Williamson brought samples
to Rock Mil, and Mr.. d. @. Roddey, who
was then In business here, offered him 80
1-3 cents per pound In gold for IL, but
the offer was rejected and the cot
ton still, retained. At that time
gold was at a premium Of 80 per cent,
hence Mr.. Roddey's offer was equivalent
TO 30 cents per pound In currency.
Strangely enough, Mr.. Williamson, in face
Of this extraordinary price, determined TO
hold the cotton, and his death last fall
found II still unsold Why he kept 1t so
long is a mystery that lies buried In tho
grave with him. HI
The cotton was packed before iron ties
came Into use and In the days when there
was no roping TO be had. Hickory withes
were used instead, and the original bind-

The Friendly Ladies' Of Louisville
IN. Y. Commercially

A Louisville newspaper complains OF
the street car manners Of the ladies Of
that town, and says that they keep cars
waiting while they kiss and bid each
other goodbye. This instance is related:
1.-TWO ladies on the sidewalk hailed car
and the driver stopped, supposing they
wanted TO get aboard. But they had
simply seen a female acquaintance on
the car, and, calling her out to the door.
step Of the car, the ladies kissed, passed
the compliments Of the day, gossiped
awhile, and then the two ladies walked
back to the sidewalk, the lady inside re-
sumed her seat, and the astonished driver
whipped up his mules, to the great relief
OF the impatient passengers"

five foxes last year. Lion did remarkable
bit Of fine work. He was chasing fox
that finally began to circle around big
fat rock. Around and around they went,
the fox doubling just as often as the dog
did until suddenly Lion jumped to the top
Of the rock and crouched down. As the
'ox circled around and stood hesitating an
instant the hound dropped on him from
above and the chase was ended.

Florence ID. beloved daughter of George and
Mary f. Meeks, aged three years, nine
months Florence was q bright, promising
child but the hand of disease was laid upon
her and she withered as withers the flower
before the early blast.
Within our happy homestead there played lit
tie child,
And group of hoyerinA angels, unseen, upon
her smiled
\ strife arose among them, loving, holy
Strife,
Who should shed the richest blessing over our
darling's life.
Some breathed upon her features and the child
in beauty grew,
With a cheek like mornings bushes and eyes
of lovely hue
Till every one who saw her was thankful for
the sight,
OF a face so sweet and lovely with every fresh
delight
Then out spoke one of the angels, nobler brig
er than the rest,
As with strong arms, but tender, he caught her
to his breast,
Yc have her all too lovely for child of mortal
race,
But no shade of human sorrow shall darken
Ger her face.
Lulled in my faithful bosom will bear her far
away
Where there is no sin nor sorrow, nor anguish
nor decay.
And mine a gift more glorious than all your
gifts shall be,
Lo! crown her happy spirit with Immortality
Then on his heart our darling Florence yielded
up her gentle breath,
For the stronger, brighter angel, who loved
her best, was Death. M.

THANKSGIVING.
FRANK SWEET.

For. the lovely flowers of spring.
And the fruit trees blossoming;
For the birds that sweetly sing
As they soar on dewy wing.
For the roses rich perfume,
And the violets that bloom
Where the brooklets sing their tune
In the golden hour OF June:
: For the fields of waving grain
Ripened on the hill and plain:
And the orchards crowned again,
We would sing our sweetest strain.
o, thou Source of life and light!
Source of wisdom, love and might;
Guard and guide our souls Alright
Till we reach thy heavenly height!
May thine angel ones that go
To these depths of sin and woe;
Lead us to those heights they know,
Where eternal splendors glow.
And the loved ones gone before
To brighter, fairer shore,
On our lives blessing pour,
That will cheer us evermore!
Ever floats upon the air
Voice of song and voice ofprayer,
For our Fathers loving care
On his children everywhere.
