WHAT 1 LIVE FOR.
BY CHARLES MACEAY.

BY CHARLES MACKAY.
live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true:
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For all human tics that bind me,
For the task By God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me;
And the good that | can do.
/ live to learn their story,
Who suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory,
And follow in the wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd History's pages
And Times great volume make.
! live to hold communion
With all that is divine:
TO feel there is union
'Twixt Natures h ut and mine.
To profit by affection,
Reap truth from fields Of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill Gods grand design.
live to hail the season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted,
As Eden was of old
live for those who love me,
For those who love me true:
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance
And the good that can do.

Every family should be provided
with some reliable remedy for bowel
complaint. The want of such an ar
ticle is the cause of much suffering,
especially during the summer months.
In almost every neighborhOOd some
one has died with cramps or cholera
morbus before medical aid could be
procured or a physician summoned.
A fair trial will satisfy you that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy is unequalled for those dis
eases. 1t is also a certain cure for
dysentery and diarhea. When re-
duced with water and sweetened, it
is pleasant to take. Children like it.

Sumner county has had larger
wheat crops than this year, but per,
haps none when the grain was Of a
better quality. 1t is nearly all cut
and a large portion of it in the stack.
Harvest weather has been above par.
Headers were brought into use this
season more than ever before, be-
cause Of the short straw. ThreshiDg
has already commenced and it is ex-
pected that the average yield will be
between ten and fifteen bushels to
the acre. Our county may not be
able to hold first place in the United
States in the number of bushels of
wheat raised this year as she did in
1891 and 1892, but she will not fall far
behind in the procession.

Are you troubled with coTns or bun
ions? If so, let us give you a little
advice. Pare them down as closely
as possible without drawing blood;
then soak them in warm water to
soften them and apply Chamberlain's
Pain Balm twice daily, rubbing them
vigorously for few minutes at each
application. A corn plaster should
be worn for several days to protect
them from the shoe. As a general
liniment for sprains, bruises, lame
back or rheumatism, Pain Balm is all
that can be desired. 50 cent bottles
