Some people would rather have their pock- cts picked than be victimized by excessive charges, and we're not surprised at it, for the pick-pocket risks his liberty and must take the consequences if he happens to be caught. No fair minded purchaser can object to pay ing a price which leaves for the seller a margin of moderate profit, but it is very different matter when the buyer is called up on to foot an exorbitant bill. We are satisfied only when we completely satisfy our custom CTS. We can make it to your interest to deal with us because our system of doing business permits no extravagances and we come close to cost every time. For very little above it we are now selling Crockery, Glassware, Toilet Articles, Watches, Jewelry x silverware, Fishing Tackle, Pipes and Smoking Sets, Drugs. M esii- cinea, Perfumes q c. H-taf T'N

He stopped the Squeak.

Travel on the Mississippi river steam
boats has been the source of inspiration
for many startling tales, but | don't know
that the following was ever before put in
print During four years residence in
Iowa, at Clinton, on the Mississippi, it
was my fortune to often make trip short
distance up or down the river on one Of
the old stern-wheelers that then piled that
stream. The engines of these boats were
in plain view on deck, and were usually
the objects of much curiosity on the part
of the passengers.
Upon one of these occasions, two or
three of us were interested in the motive
power of the boat, which for some SEEM
ingly inexplicabie reason kept up contin-
ual squeaking. During one of the most
excruciating spasms of the suffering ma
chinery the engineer, with determination
in every look and motion, grasped the huge
oil can and made for the spot whence came
the cry for fabrication. A bountiful sup
ply of oil was poured upon every conceiy-
able place of friction, and for a few
moments all moved smoothly. But soon
ehS seeLHlHSlJ eNeEids1luS Slucdh DcSdu
again, much to the disgust Of the passen-
gers as well as of the engineer. Again
the oiling process was resorted to, and
more perseveringly than before, and quiet
was again restored.
But just as the burly engineer approached
the group of spectators another squeak
occurred, which his quick ear this time
located correctly. A ventriloquist was in
the crowd. Walking up to the joker the
irate ,oiler seized him by the coat collar
with one hand and with the other squirted
the remaining contents of the oil can down
the victims back until the grease ran out
of the legs of his trousers ''There," he
exclaimed, 81 don't think that old engine
viii squeak again this trip" And it did
not, for the ventriloquist found his time
completely occupied in vain efforts to erase
the evidence of the success of his expert
ment.

A Christian.

We live in Christian land, we appear
to be Christian people, but what in the
name of heaven and earth, and all that is
between, is Christian Is it one who
attends church every Sunday in the year
and gets behind the church door to sneer
at his neighbour Is it those who rise in
the house of God and proclaim that they
have given themselves to Christ, to follow
in his footsteps, and then knowingly and
willfully injure fellow creature? Never !
Christ does not look at the exterior and
pass by the interior; he does not count the
money one puts into the contribution box,
and fail to perceive the motive which ac-
companies it. 1t is not Christ whose allie
glance to externalism has driven the noblest
and manifest of the age into the ranks of
his foes. Who is.it? Above all things,
avoid a sneering person. If you have any
regard for an acquaintance, be friend to
him; if you have no regard for him, let him
quietly alone, for in striving to injnre him
you only cast an irrevocable stain upon
your own character Remember, the
greatest creation of God is noble man or
woman, but the vilest work of the devil is
a deceptive person.

Hog Cholera.

It is claimed that hog cholera may be
cured by the following treatment: Take
well matured peach leaves and feed them
to the hogs as soon as they show sickness.
Or take wild cherry bark, boil it to a
strong tea, turn the sick hog on his back
and pour down his throat one pint Of this
tea, when it gets cold.
The above recipes are furnished by one
of Georgia's best farmers, Mr.. Robt. Dash
er, of Efingham, who has tested them
thoroughly.

IN THE EARLY FALL.

BY HELEN W. GROVE
There are touches Of crimson here and there
And gold leaves mix with the green;
There's iilmy veil on the mountains brow.
And the sunshine glints between.
The asters are purpling in field and wood,
Where once were the yiolets shy;
And what do you think? on our garden bed
Is a rainbow dropped from the sky!
The apples. which once were blossoms sweet
Are ripe in the orchard now;
And the ehestnuts wait but the touch of the frost
To drop from the leafy bough.
The mountain ash has prisoned the red
Ofthe summers sunset skies.
And our favorite flower, the golden rod,
With the golden sunshine vies.
The whippoorwill calls to the katydid,
And the cricket chirps TO himself
As he hides away by the chimney piece
queer little household elf
All summer the CRATE has held bouquets
offowers and feathery leaves,
But now change TO ruddy blaze
In the chill ofthe autumn ewes.
And Mabel, wee Mabel, is watching the change.
With a wonderful look in her eyes,
For she fancies the fairies have planned for her
This bright little evening surprise.
