SCR Or. 'SourRE. Elder Hop
kins was the pastor Of q rural congre-
gatioa. and hardshsll Baptist Who
hit straight from the shoulder, and
generally succeeded in knocking out
the sins of the people. Two of his
deacons were the pillars Of the church
whom I shall call Uncle Billy Jones
and Squire Brown. OF Squire Brown
it may be said he pretended TO good
deal Of piety that he did not possess.
while Uncle Bill was inclined 10 bib
ulosity and often attended church un-
der the "infuencs." owing TO the fact
that the time elapsing between Satur.
day night and Sunday morning was
too short to sober up in.
One Sunday morning Elder Hop
kins concluded to wind up his sermon
with pointed allusion to the beset.
ting sins of his two deacons. In O
solemnly impressive voice he said:
"There are certain sins to which ]
desire to refer particularly this blessed
morning. Take the sin Of intemper-
ance and drunkenness, for instance.
Rum has slain more than war. famine
and pestilence. Where is the drunk.

Instantly, with tremendous effort,
Uncle Billy Jones assumed the per.
pendicular, somewhat curved after the
style of an interrogation point. and
exclaimed:
"Here I am, (hic) old hoss (hic).
Here l am, (hic) listenin' to you.
The sudden and unexpected res
ponse brought down the house. but in
no way disconnected Elder Hopkins,
who, after the laughter had subsided,
proceeded:
Brethren, while l have animad.
verted severely on the sin of drunk.
enness, there is still greater sin and
that is the sin of hypocrisy. Where
is the hypocrite ?" t-a1a
No one responded, and Uncle Billy
reached over into the next pew where |
Squire Brown sat. and gently shak- |
ing him up. said in loud and earn.
est voice:
"Git up. squire; (hic) git up. l

THE WAY TO SUccEED.-Young
man, you, we mean, who are just start

own particular account, and are limi-
ted in means, don't let your ideas run
into extravaganza. but keep them
down to plain, sensible. practicable
level. You are beginning at the bot
tom of the ladder. and if you can't
now reach to its topmost round don't
despair. Those who have got up
that far through their own efforts
commenced where you are beginning.
We are not going to disguise the fact
that the ascent will be to you through
toll, many hardships and perhaps a
good many depressing circumstances.
However. you have it in your power
to steer clear of much that goes to
make up the hard lot of many farm.
ers. If nature has endowed you with
a good outfit of health and strength,
a willingness to put your own shoul-

opinions Of a class Of people in the
world who despise the day Of small
beginnings, a determination to make
the utmost of the possibilities sur.
rounding you, and withal an uncon-

Editor Democrat Star:
After quite long silence, |
again knock at the door Of your

pretty much on the drag. The log
businessis dead. "Old man"DantZ-
ler has spoken to the people of
Red Greek, and the thunder of his
voice has sounded far and near,
absolutely paralyzing The timber
business on these creeks.
Crops are looking quite we'll,
and refreshing showers are falling
almost daily. The peach crop will
be almost total failure in these
parts.
Our energetic friend, Mr.. Morris,
has bought the Reeves sawmill, on
Pascagoula, and moved the same
to Perkins, where he proposes TO
elbow his whistle" pretty soon.
There seems to be a real boom III
progress at Perkins, and Uncle"
John Perkins is making a cash
thing on real estate. Several lots
have been bought recently for
stores, hotels, etc, etc.

visited a lady in my travels
who was not calm and serene, for
some boys had slipped and stolen
the yOun1 mocking birds from the
nest she had been watching so
long. "And just TO think" she
said, "Iwo of the boys were preach
ers' sous, and | told them one day
not TO take the birds, and the next
day they came while was gone
and took them"
Well, a birds nest is a very try
ing thing to boy, whether he is a
preachers son or not. 1t strains
him. He is almost obliged to have
it. 1T is as bad as "a watermelon TO
TO darkv. There has been many
chapters written about the sin of
robbing bird nests, but the robbing
goes on about the same. The nest
is so cunnlngly made and the eggs
are so pretty. 1t is a prize for a
boy, and then there is a feeling of
triumph in having found what was
hidden. The same feeling inclines
man to go fishing-nOt for the
love of fish, but the lOye of the
sport. He loves to beat the fish at
their own game. He loves to catch
them because they don't want to
be caught. Somebody sent Mr..
Cleveland a fine salmon the other
day, and he SAID he envied the man
who caught it. 1t looks like a very
small business for a large man TO
take pleasure in, but il is nature.
and we can't helpit. Daniel Web
ster SAID that nobody liked 10 fish
except gentlemen and vagabonds.
He was mistaken. All classes like
TO fish, but nobody bat gentlemen
and vagabonds have time. The
good book says: 81 Will give thee
dominion over the beasts Of the
field and the fish OF the sea and The
fowls Of the air, And so want il.
and the more they resist us the
more We want 1t. Nobody wants
to shoot a chicken or to catch one
in!a trap, but he will hunt all day

Three things never come again
Snow may vanish from the plain,
Blossoms from the dewy sod,
Verdure from the broken clod,
Water from the rivers bed,
Forests fir III the mountains head,
Night may brighten into day,
Noon in midnight fade away.
Yet the snow shall come once more
When the winter tempests roar.
Blossoms each returning spring
In her laden arms shall bring.
Grass De green where plowshares run,
Rivers flash in autumn's sun.
Time shall bid the forests grow,
Noon and midnight come and go.
But though all thy soul complain
Three things shall not come again.
Never to the bow that bends
Comes the arrow that it sends;
Spent in ace its airy flight
Vanisbes like lost delight,
When with rapid aim it sprang
From the bowstring Shivering twang
Straight to brain or Ii art it fed,
Once for all it's course was sped.
No wild wall upon its track
Brings the barb of vengeance back.
Hold thy hand before it go,
Pause beside the bended bow;
Hurtled ence across the plain,
No spent arrow. comes again.
Never comes the chance that passed,
That one momInt was it's last.
Though thy life upon it hung,
Though thy death beneath it swung.
If thy future all the way
Now in darkness goes astray.
When the instant born of fate
Passes through the golden gate.
When the hour, but not the man,
Comes and goes from natures plan,
Never mere its cOuntenance
Beams upon thy slow advance.
Meyer more that time shall be
Burden bearer unto thee.
Weep and search DER land and main,
Lost chance never comes again.
Never shall thy spoken word
BE again unsaid, unheard.
Well it work the utterance wrought
Woe or veal, whate'er it brought
Once for all all the runo is read,
Once for all the judgment said,
Though it placed a poisoned spear
Through it culver fierce and deep,
Through some stain less spirits sleep;
Idle, vain, the flying sting
That passing rage might bring.
Speech shall give it fangs of steel,
Utterance all its barb reveal.
Give thy tears of blood and fire,
Pray with pangs of mad desire
Offer life, ard soul, and all,
That one sentence to recall.
with it's fatal wrath,
Chase With flying feet its path.
Rue it all thy lingering days,
Hide 1t deep with love and praise.
Once for all thy word sped,
None invade it but the dead,
All thy travail will be vain
spoken words come not again

The Florida Agricnlturist wishes
better remedy than the following
for ingrowing toe nails:
An ingrowing Toe nail sometimes
deties home remedies and a ply
sician has to take it In charge. Of
simple remedies, the foot can be
soaked we'll in hot soda water and
the nail scraped on top ill as thin
as it can be done without pain.
Wear an old shoe afterward until
it is better. Perhaps some one of
our friends can suggest something
better than this.
A certain remedy for an ingrow-
ing nail IS: Heat a piece of tall
low hot in an iron spoon, hold over
a lamp, and apply one drop be-
tween the nail and and flesh. Re
lief Will be instantaneous and cure

next went down, and two women
who were passing were only saved
from injury by their bustles. A
