P'INTS FROM PINEToP.

P'INTS FROM PINEToP.
I'll tell you what / believe about it
We should quit talking of the meE
nominated-they are in for two year
and turn our attention to "Some
thing better"
There is life in this old Land yet IN:
the voice OF the turtle-dove Will altrd2
be heard.
The next thing-after the election o
CleveIand-is the State Fair.
| Then comes the fireworks.
It won't be long till Christmas.
And the Worlds Fair will be here
before you know it.
To say nothing of our own little gala
week and floral fair.
Why, man, there's lots to talk about
and make US feel "calm aud serene"
| [ don't like to see gloomy, moping,
fault-fnding person.
Away with the chronic grumbler
| who eternalIy makes himself disagree
! able because things don't suit him, or
his friends got beat.
Whose disagreeableness comes from
mean whiskey and meaner nature.
Or if you have disordered liver do
90 to Robertson & Gilder's and get a
dose of medicine.
Get straight so you can see the world
in its true light and colors.
Always look on the bright side.
There are plenty of beautiful pictures
to be seen.
You need not be everlastingly look
ing at the ugly pictures and~on the
dark side Of lie.
Wake up, and quit dragging along
in half.stupid condition.
If you don't like this country, go
somewhere else and get out of the way
of men who are satisfied with our State
in general and county in particular,
and who know that
South Carolina is still the garden
spot of the earth, the fairest place the
sun shines on.
You hear my talk.
I'm a bald-headeG old bachelor, with
bright prospects in the same line OF
development and future progress, and
for the past twenty years at least have
heard of hard times and calamities an
nually. ....--
But amt we here yet?
We have always heard Of half crop
of cotton that was going to be made
and of other things that are really, l
declare, too numerous to mention.
lob, I could mention them, because
Aull & Houseal give me whole col
umn, but life is too short to take up so
much space every week.
It don't matter how low cotton Il, or
how high bacon is, or how tight time
is, or how scarce cash is, we always
have lots of barbecues and picnics and
big meetings and excursions.
The Thanksgiving turkey is always
iIszta,a ista,sas,, the ground.
Hog killing time always comes
around.
But still we are not happy.
If it wasn't sin I'd wonder if some
of US would even be satisfied in heaven.
I tell you, right now, we all grnmble
too much.
This is a pretty good old world. And
it's no worse than it ever Was-perhaps
better.
But it's all owing to the state OF a
mans mind and the condition of mis-
liver.
If we are in a contented frame the
globe is a kaleidoscope.
Just about the time che good things
of the summer season disappear, the
glorious fall comes with its delightful
breezes and twilights.
lThe "in-the-gloaming-oh-my-darl-
ing" hours
With it's 'possums and persimmons.
And before we tire of gilt-edged au-
tumn, good old winter appears with its
frosty mornings and long evenings,
when the fire is so comforting and the
lights so cheering.
And by the time we get used to the
cold, beautiful spring makes her re-
appearance, and while we are adnIrlng
her pictures, the summer is here again;
Thus tie seasons rapidly come and
20, each with its own blessings.
We would not enjoy their. pleasures
| if it were not for the tribulatlons.
Spring would not be so lovely if Win
| ter would be free from mud and slush.
The truth of the matter is, while we
are fussing and tuning with the heat
of summer and knocking at the gnats
and fies and kicding about the dust,
we forget that if we had no such things
we would also have no fruits and vege-
tables, not to mention pineapple bon
bons, etc.
But it is just like some people to
wish for winter in the summer time
and then complain when they have
winter.
If it rains two successive days after a
long hot dry spell such people begin
"The rain it raineth every day."
Don't you know that imagination
has much to do with ones being so
very.very cold in winter and so very
very warm in summer, and with a
great many of our trials?
So let's quit swapping and snarllng
and getting drunk because this man
got elected and that man got left, and
let's
Get ready for the fair and Christmas,
and think about going to Chicago next
year, and forget all our troubles for
| little while at least.
If you can't do any better visit Mr..
Ivy Abrams fine fish pond and see
his carp fed as I did last Sunday after
noon. You will enjoy it, as I did.
Your friend NEEDLE.
