Last Wednesday, scored one more
decade for the nineteenth century, anG

Introduce another century, with
its vast acquisitions of material
wealth, Its wonderful developments

it, astounding changes in the march
Of civilization, its great conquest in the
fields OF science, its happy utilization
Of the mechanic arts, and above all,
Its constant progressive elevation of
the human mind to a higher plane OF
thought and enquiring reference to
God, our maker, in his relations TO his
intelligent creatures here Oh earth, are
themes on which volumes can and will
be written. Go back ninety wears,

Christ through the instrumentality
Of his church militant, is preparing for
whea "the lion and the lamb
shall lie down together, the sword
shall be beaten into the pl,wshare,

birth, seers and prophe;s lifted the
dark curt lin of coming events, and
ain the fitness OF time the s0n Of
Mary was born in Bethlehem 1889
years ago in the reign Of the great
Augustus. Before the ravages of war,
and the tooth OF time, the marble p'l-

row and acquainted with grief lives
in the hearts Of millions of devoted toi-
lowers, who delight to honor Him as
the king Of kings and Lord of Lords.

When we grasped the hand of Mrs.

our streets, and looked her fully In the
face. we recognized its unfading be-
ne~volsnce at once, but was astonished

We certainly have no desire to fat
ter Mr.. Hartwell and family when we
tell the people Of Grenada that in them
there is a highly cultivated musical
talent-that If in Germany, France or
England, or any other isle outside of
Mississippi, before this they would
have been known all over the country.
We speak what we have heard, and if
we are not q musical center technically,
we know by sound at least, OH a basis
of common sense, what cultured music
is. Judging lawyers by what we know
of law would be a poor criterion, but
when we hear them speak, and watch
the results Of their practice, we can
tell n good from a sorry advocate or
Judge. Applying that rule to the
family of Prof. Hartwell, we do not
hesitate to say that within his family
are both fame and fortune if they pro-
pose to utilize their gifts. 1t must be
remembered that every one of this

different instrument, and each one has

Ceesidys daughter is wearing hustle

Anoefs Tor three years by her father are owing,
The rascal declares that he can't and won't
pay,
But 'tis eesy to see how the money is going
IN saent OF Miss Cassidy's gorgeous array.
'Thsre's plain proof, says T. W. Russell,
How tenants can rob and campaigners can
cheat;
Cassidy's daughter is wearing hustle,
fringe on her forehead and shoes on her
feetr
'Cassidy's son too, though deIving in ditches,
Has no sort Of liking for saualor or dirt;
he rather objects to have holes in his brooches,
And twice in week he puts on a clean shirt.
No wonder his landlord is fretting and Tuning
At seeing such luxuries bougat with his rent,
Ihen hearing the impudent swindlers presum-
To ask reduction of thirty Per cent?
Behold plain proof says T. W. Russell,
How tenants can rob and campaisners can
Cassidy's daughter is wearing a hustle,
A fringe on her forehead and boots on her
feet.-
But It's not enough that such folks should be
One day I peeped in when their table was
And saw q supply Of red herring and rashers.
And something like dripping to moisten their
bread.
I gazed quite amazed at each gluttonous sinner
Thus swelling the list of their Parnellite
crimes;
frushed to the landlords; ate good dinner
And wrote of q letter that night to the Times,
England now knows" says T. W. Russell,
How tenants can rob and campaigners can
cheat:
Since Cassidy's daughter is wearing hustle,
fringe on her forehead and boots on her
feet!'

Poor Grandmother

Alas, the work that used to occupy
her dear old hands has been gradually
taken away. She used to sit serenely
by the wide old fireplace and knit soft
stockings for the children. Now this
fireplace is thing of the past. Some
new-fangled heater usurps the place in
cold weather, and q cherries hole in
the wall is all that is left to suggest the
once CHEEKY fireside.
The busy, many-needled knitting
machine has taken her work from her,
and the exercise that used to carry
along with it so many loving and kindly
thoughts, is all done by soulless ma
chine.
She used to keep scraps of @caliker'
for patchwork, and Johns Trouble

Pickup of $4,000 for Three Well
Known Cheyenne People.
Cheyenne WY Leader, Augusts.
The drawing of S15, 600 from the Louisiana
State Lottery in the July Drawing by three
well known Cheyenne people has created a
decided sensation. The children of fortune
are all employed at II. H. Ellis bakery.
They are Louis Salada and wife and Edward
P. Gaylor an old-timer and prominent Odd
Fellow.
Forty-eight hours after the drawing Sala-
da and his wife and Mr.. Gaylor were over
joyed to learn from list that ticket No. A.
7is had drawn the capital prlze of $780, 900
and that they were entitled to one-twentieth
of that sum or $4,000.
Advices from New Orleans confirmed the
list and the money was collected through the
First National Bank of this city, being paid
over to the winners August l.
Salada and wife are visiting relatives in
Missouri. The lady, who has been an inval-
id for several years, is to retire to an eastern
hospital for several months and will be
treated by emirent specialists.
