ON THE WING.


The editor made a flying trip
to Salem last Saturday and was
pleased to see so many evidences of
a busy, thriving town. We learn
that the citizens are almost unit on
all questions that pertain to the
welfare and growth of the town,
which alone is q guaranty of per-
manent interior trading point as
well as a pleasant place to live. AT
night a festival at the Methodist
church attracted large congrega>
-tonl where everybody met every
body, who had a good time singing,
eating, talking, etc. Two baskets
of confections and flowers were
sold to increase the receipts of the
evening, one of which was voted to
Miss Ella Whiteside and the other
to her sister. Miss Agnes. There
were several other young ladies
placed in nomination and the contest
was spirited and earnest. The re-
ceipts of the evening amounted to
more than $40.
We found our friend Bob Hud-
dleston and his interesting family
taking active parts in the exercises
of the evening, his wife Mrs. Efie,
presiding at the organ with her
characteristic grace and ease.
Met Abe Hughes, another former
citizen of Evening Shade, who also
made us think of pleasant days of
yore. Abe sells family groceries
and lives at home.
~4.Saw VIM. Wainwright, also one
Sharp's former citizens, who runs a
big hotel as well as lending his aid
to build up the town and the demo-
cratic majority of Fulton county.
Salem has permanent school, 2
newspapers, the Banner and Inform
er, three churches, a dozen or more
business houses and a brass band.
The court house having been de>
stroyed early this year, removal of
the county seat is talked Of, but the
question is not likely to be submitted
to the people at very early day, if
ever.
Friend Huddleston has severed
his connection Aish the Banner and
has accepted the regular deputyship
under Circdit Clerk Northcut.
Salem is good town, pretty
town, an attractive town, pictur.
esquely surrounded and beautifully
located; has a broadgage Christian
population whose: ann is to'build up
home by working"in conjunction for
home.

ONLY \ PAUPER.


Only the face Of a pauper:
Eagerly pressing the window pane;
Heedless alike OF the snow and the rain;
Watching the rich sit down 10 dine,
To their smoking meat and sparkling wine,
Hungrily eyeing the tempting fare.
With look that beSpeaks the hearts de
spair;
Then turned again 60 the dismal street.
To the piercing wind and the stinging slect-
Only the face OF pauper.
Only the hands OF pauper
Tremblngly clutching the tattered shawl;
BloodleSs and numb are the fingers small.
Once they were rosy and plump and fair,
baby's fingers untouched 10y care;
Little more than an infants now
Are the slim hands pressed TO the throbbing
brow,
As with feeble steps she totters on,
To be jostled and pushed by the heartlcss
throng-
Only the hands Of pauper.
Only the feet OF a pauper
Bleeding and bruised by the icy stone,
Shoes and stockings are all unknown,
Senseless now 20 the freezing air,
As she hurrieS on, she knows not where;
On through the streets unshod they roam,
Sheltered no more 10y the warmth OF home
While the fierce wind roars, and the storm
beats wild
ON the ill-clad form OF the shrinking child
Only the feet Of a pauper.
Only the cry OF paupcr;
Wrung from the lips 10y the hearts deep
woe,
As the frail form sinks in the drifting snow,
Drowned at once 10y the shrieking gale,
All unheard is that feeble wall
Yet He who rules from His throne on high.
Who heareth even the ravens cry,
Think ye not He hath caught the note,
That rose from the dying wandcrer's
throat
Only the cry of pauper.
Only the soul of pauper:
Freed at last from its earthly thrall,
Rising up at its Makers call,
Leaving forever the want and wa
The pain and hear tache it knew below,
Borne aloft 10 that blissful shore.
Where cold and hunger shall pinch no more:
Through the white gates OF the city of love,
Into the presence Of God hbove,
Floatsth the soul OF pauper.

The Rres Of the Mole.

Carl Hess, the German naturalist has
proved 10y minute microscopical invcsti-
CATION that the eye OF the mole is per
fcctly capable of seeing, and that il is
NOS short sighted, aS another naturalist
would have us believe Hess maintains
that, in spite OF ITS minute dimcnsions-
l millimetcr by 90 millimctcr the eye
of this little creature possesses all the
necessary properties for seeing that the
most highly developed eyes does, that it.
Is, indeed, as well suited for seeing as
the eyes OF any other mammal and that
differ from the normal eye. In order to
bear ont the theory OF shorts -sightedncss,
the physiological reason was adduccd
that in its subtcriancan runs the mole is
accustomed to see things at close dis
tances, and that its eye had become
gradually suited TO near objects. But TO
this Hess objects that the mole when
under ground most probably makes no
use Of his eyes at all, as it would be i'm
possible TO sec anything, owing TO the
absence of1ight, but that when hc comes
60 the surface, and especially when he
is swimming he does use his eyes I'm

The white population Of the Congo, in
West Africa, is increasing at quite a
rapid rate. Five years ago, after Stanley
had founded his stations, there were only
about 200 white men engaged in the
various enterprises along the river. The
number has now increased to nearly 500.
some Of whom have lived on the river
nine or ten years. The gratifying thing
about it is that u fair average Of health is
maintained among those colonists. The
fact would attract world wide attention
