MIR. DAVIS RECEIVES A CALL
To Montgomery, Ala, and Expects to
Accept.

Accept.
Rev. E. P. Davis, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, of this city, has
received call to the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church, of Mont
gomery, Ala, and announces his in
tention of accepting it.
In conversation with a SENTINEL
reporter Mr.. Davis said it nwould
be a great sacrifice for him to
leave his people here, but as duty
he considered it wise and proper for
him to go where he thinks he can ac-
complish the most good. The Mont
gomery church is one of. the most in
f1uential in the South.
Mr.. Davis has been in Wins
ton for about seven years and has
greatly endeared himself to his con-
gregation. He is a preacher of both
earnestness and energy, and his SER
mons bear evidence that he is hard
student. His church work in this
city is progressing finely under his
care. Not only his own congregation
but the people of the Twin-City gen.
orally will deplore his intention to
leave.

A babe is born. and It's sobbing breath
Has touched on the shores OF life and death.
Rocking to rest in a mothers arms.
The world swings by with its lurking harms
Sweet border.land OF her love be his
What more have kings mid their dynasties: :
Youth comes space as day in June
The song in his heart has loves low tune.
He feels the fiutter Of passing wings,
While he singing tolls and toiing sings
Love beckons afar to fiowery stands
He dreams IN the light of its border lands.
Now the man delves deep IN mines o
thought,
TIL Ambitions sword with flame Is wrought
On the border-lRnd mirages bloom,
And his heart goes down in waves OF gloom
Oh! temple OF love and tender youth,
Awake your altar with lips uf truth.
Return with lilies so white and rare
To twiue on the fevered brow OF care.
Re.give the charm OF your lotus leaves,
While peace rebinds her glory sheaves,
And hope with justice be interviewer
TIL the race shall ken the JOY OF Heaven.
Whose border-land and its halo be
The life and love OF eternity.

several varieties OF Newfoundland
dogs. particularly a smooth breed
with rather small head, white and
spotted with black, which seems fast
becoming extinct; a very large breed,
with broad muzzle, head raised. noble
expression, waved or curly hair, very
thick and busby cnrled tail, black and
white color, aud a smaller, almost
black breed

He lives in Minneapolis, and he gave
the parrot TO his sister on his return.
The bird had been his companion

imagined he had cured his pet, but
alas, not so.
For three weeks the parrot was "a
demure and well-behaved "a Sun

There was some sort Of gathering at

known church, dozen ladies, and
oh. the usual tea party. Our collie

parrot could walk the tight rope.
There was general assent. A line
was stretched between two chairs.
The parrot started along ii. The
line osciIlated, aud the parrots tail
began TO fly up and down a. he tried
TO keep steady. Still he kept going.
The oscillations became more violent
and the parrot more agitated There
was a worried expression on the birds Q
face as it reached a point midway be

one was startled by shrill cry from
the badly illustrated bird.
Look out he shrieked, look out,
