WHAT SHE BROUGHT ME.

This faded flower that you sec
was given me, year ago,
BY one whose little dainty hand
ls whittier than the snow.
Her eyes are blue as violets,
And she's blonde and very fair,
ana sunset tints are not as bright
AS is her golden hair.
And there are roses In her cheeks
>, That come and go like living things;
her voice Is softer than the brooks
That flows from hidden springs.
She gave it me with downcast eyes,
And rosy flushes of the cheek,
That told of tender thoughts her tongue
Had never learned to speak.
The fitting words had just been said,
And she was mine as long as life. =
l gently laid the flower aside,
And kissed my blushing wife.
She :ook it up, with earnest look,
And said, "Oh, prize the flower"
And tender tears were in her eyes
1t is my only DOVER"
She brought me Faith, and Hope and Truth.
She brought me gentle thoughts and love,
A soul as pure as those that float
Around the throne above.
But earthly things she nothing had,
Except this faded flower you see
And though tits worthless in your eyes,
lis very dear to me. Harry L. Flash.

gard to something new in the way of manu-
featuring in North Carolina. They are
manufacturing new baking powder call

it at 25, 10 and ) cents.
'They run along" said Mr.. Davidson,
with the Patapseo, both in quality, size and
price. We use about the same ingredients
as the Patapsco but in different proportions"
"Is it an alum powder 2"
''No sir, and Il member of our firm has
been using it in his family for years.
"TIow about machine and boxes ?"
'Well, our boxes are made in Buffalo, n.

mark is not yet registered and our business
is in its infancy, but next fall we shall boom
it and put a drummer on the road"

A SENTINEL reporter met Mr.. John Ca
ruthers who seemed highly pleased with
the price he received for the weed. We are
reasonably acquainted with the energetic
brothers who never fail to realize a
handsome sum for their tobacco each year.
Were our farmers to follow the example set
by these gentlemen each year in making a
specially of curing their tobacco they would
not make failure, as many do.
Another very important fact these gentle
men adhere to, is very logical, and moreover
worth emulating by our many farmer read
ers. In the spring they make it a point to
not /" over-crop" themselves that is not
planting out more of the weed than they
can well work. Neither do they neglect
the small grain. crop, but make averages of
wheat, corn, oats, &c. These gentlemen are
progressive farmers in every sense of the

1t has long been a standing cry
that the republicans when in power
were guilty Of the crime of nepotism
and that this was undermining the
stability Of our institutions Of
course, in a reform government such
thing would not be tolerated.
Some one, however, has been looking
up the record of Senator Vance, of
North Caroline, in this particular, and
the result is somewhat surprising.
The list of the Vance family who are
drawing salaries from the public
treasury is as follows:
Z. Is. Vance, United States SEMI
tor, salary $1,000.
r. b. Vance, his son assistant
commissioner of patents, $500.
c. T. Vance, son, clerk TO the sen
ator. S2I90.
T.. B. Vance, Jr., son, geological

department., $1,000.
d. NJ. Vance, cousin, in the army
$1,000.
J. Vance, cousin, Mississippi river

r. Vance, cousin, Mississippi rivel
commission, $1,000
E. Vance, cousin, department OF
justice, $500.

e. Robinson, nephew, page in the

- Hall, nephew, page ID the

- Mcdonald, cousin. in the gov

This makes total of sixteen per
sons, and 4 total salary list of S25,-
$40. Somebody ought to introduce a
bill for the relief OF the Vance family
or the government.
