INDIAN SUMMER.
by HENRY GRAY GLOvEH

Warm sun rays sift
Through flmy mist
And every leaf is color-kissed.
The softened CLEAN
O'er wood and stream
Makes earth an oriental dream.
An incense rare
Drifts through the air
Swung from October's censcrs fair.
A soothing sense
OF JOY intense
Lulls Us to dreamy Incidence.
Over the land,
With lavish hand.
Autumn has waved her color wand.
With every breeze
The frost stained leaves
Drift from their mooragc in the trees.
The ivy dips
Her finger tips
In summers blood and dlips, and drip
Oshade and shine
Your nectared vine
Stirs us like some old vintage fine.
Orythmic rune
Alas How soon
VIII discord mar your perfect tune.
With fancy's ear
seem to hear
The requiem Of the dying year

What strange children some folks
do raise: A man will subscribe for a
paper and go and not pay for 1t; after
awhile he dies and goes to hell; then
his relatives, who are not subscribers,
will come around to the same paper
and ask the publication Of long obit-
uary that sets forth that this man
served his country, his family, his
God, and went to heaven. 1t Is o lie
he served the devil, and missed heav-
en- Il mile. --Eupora Progress.

Drawing myself up with quite an

But the old lady was not ever
stunned.
"Ycs, yes, it is easy enough to claim

that the devil Is to allow him certain

who Are The CreOleS !

Birmingham News.
The question has been propounded
to the News-"Who is Creole?'
Doubtless it has been asked dozens of
times in Birmingham, during the past
week, because of the appearance here
of negro minstrel company, adyer-
Using themselves as Creoles, and rare
ly has the question been properly an
swcred. There seems to be no end OF
ignorance, Of misconception rather,
concerning who arc really Creoles.
A very high authority says: "A
Creole is, properly speaking, an-Am-
erican, born of French or Spanish pa
rents. resident of the scmi-tr0pical
portions of the continent, adjacent to
the Gulf of Mexico. The climatic
conditions prevailing in these regions
differ materially from those existing
in France and Spain: and Creoles
most numerous in Louisiana and
Florida, do not enjoy the robust Wig
or which marks the large number o
Frenchmen and Spaniards. But they
especially the Creole women, have ;
marked characteristic of beauty ant
supple grace; deep black eyes, soft
smooth, delicate complexion, gentl'
voices, and symmetry of figure, with
out obesity. Creoles are full-bloodet
white persons without any admlYtur'
whatever of negro or Indian ancestry

Archaeological Relics,


1t is desired that the fine collection
OF archaeological relics in possession of
the Tennessee Historical Society shall
be sent to the Worlds Fair, and the
Legislature is asked to make aR incon-
siderable appropriation for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the exhi-
bit. The request is both moderate and
reasonable, and ought to be complied
with. There is to be a great collection
OF such things at the Worlds Fair and
they will constitute one of the most
novel features of the great show.
The Tennessee relics are among the
rarest and most interesting of the evil
dences that have been accumulated of
a prehistoric people once inhabiting
this country and it would be great
pity if those relics were not sent to
Chicago.
There were no Indian habitations in
this immediate section when it was
first visited by the whites. The red
men resided to the south and to, the
north and their hunting excursions into
this region were not infrequent. Hos
tile braves sometimes met to do battle
here and in Kentucky, and hence came
the name, ''the dark and bloody
ground" " But this was not the abid-
ing place of the dusky tribes. Not
withstandlng this fact there are abun-
dat evidences that this section was
once inhabited and by population
more numerous than that now residing
In the rural districts of Middle Tennes-
see, and perhaps even the cities should
be no exception to tbs statement. This
is made apparent by the great number
OF dead these people have left behind.
The skeletons that have been found
largely outnumber the graves in the
cemeteries of the white people.
These people, whoever they were,
left evidence of having been possessed
of crude but skilful art in the con-
struction of pottery, the making of ar
row heads, ETC., and it is of such things
that the collection of curios in the pos
session of the Tennessee Historical So.
ciety consists. They are of great in
terest to science 1t would be alto
gether the proper thing for them to be
sent to Chicago, and we hope the Leg
islature will provide for sending them.

tolerable at the instant spoken.
The guide of the Christian says avoid
the appearance of evil, but many go
on unheeding these wise words MANY
young men, cloaked with the name of
a good family, but stepped in the vice
OF today, should be checked in that
wild career by pure and true Young
women not tolerating their presence.
This is one of the surest ways of crush
ing out the fast ways of some men.
They may say, as they often do, that
they do not care when a woman cuts
their acquaintance, but they do care,
and the regret is to very marked de-
gree. If every young woman would
take courage and expel from her list of
friends every man who drinks a bey-
erage, there would be a great reform
among the inebriate class. Perhaps it
would cause some fearful vocabularies
to reach our ears for awhile, but the
result would indeed be glorious. Let
us have prohibition by women prohi-
biting men who are addicted to strong
drink or any of the vices that are prac-
ticed today.
Atno time has there been a better
time for woman to show her Judgment
in helping to purify the moral atmo-
sphere of America, and the nineteenth
century woman must and will press
forward while she has the very reins of
our nation in her firm but gentle hand
clasp.
Make stronger and better resolves
each day to have your influence over
guilty men and women be for good. 4
Don't fear TO ask older women their
opinions on certain undertakings, and
in the end the Savior who raised the
widow s only son from the dead and
committed his spirit to God, will
crown your noble efforts with rich /
blessings. JULIET JANE halfway.

There are especial reasons why
sheep should be kept in good condi-

to have the animal that grows it al
teruately starved and fattened.
Besides, il the sheep be past its best
age Tor thrift, a starvation policy so
Injuries the digestion that it is never

The constipation resulting from Civ
ing only dry feed is also injurious.
For this reason sheep growers should
always have some roots as part of
the winter ration.

specimens of fruit from some new
