THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER
Ten years ago / lived in q town in In.
diana. On returning home one night,
for | am a carpenter by trade, 1 saw a
little girl leave my door, and I asked
my wife who she was. She said Mrs
Harris had sent her after their news.
paper, which my wife had borrowed.
AS we sat down to tea, my wife said to
me by name:
II wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; 1t Is so much comfort to
me when you are away from home"
~ would like to do So" said I "but
you know | owe q payment on the house
and lot. 1t will be all / can do to meet
It,"
She replied: "If you will take this
paper, will sew for the tailor to pay
for It," -
| subscribed for the paper; it came
in due time to theshop. While resting
one noon, and looking over it, 1 saw an
advertisement of the county commits
sioners TO let q bridge that was to be
built. / put in q bid for the bridge,
and the job was awarded to me, on
which / cleared $500, which enabled
me to pay for my house and lot easily,
and for the newspaper. If | had not
subscribed for the newspaper, I should
not have known anything about the
contract, and could not have met my
payment On my house and lot. A me-
chanic never loses anything by taking
his home newspaper"

WHY IS II?

We have, in our experience, met a
number of men, in every Imaginable
line OF business but the happicst, most
energetic and agreeable fellows are the
agents of the w%ell-known and popular
" Davis Sewing Machine" They arc
as happy US the day is long. They
make everybody with whom they have
dealings feel the same. Why is it ?
They are men from ordinary paths of
life, chosen more for their honesty and
respectabillity than account of me-
chanical skill, because this "Davis"
Is the very acme of mechani-
cal simplicity and requil es no skill in it's
manipulation. One hours operation i'm
a customers house amply demonstrates
this fact and its advantages become at
once apparent. 1t does not take the
lady long to decide in favor OF this
machine, finding, as she does. that she
can do work on IL that would be i'm
possible on machines of the under-feed
pattern. Any lady who has any know
ledge OF the Davis and other machines,
will tell you without hesitation that
the Davis is incomparably the best.
Not only will it perform more than
double the work possible with any
other machine, but the work is done
with half the exertion and with an
ease that Is as pleasing as it is surpris-
ing.

THE DYING

The following poem has been sent to
US by q friend, who copied 1t from an
old newspaper some years ego, and the
origin OF the poem Is given as follows (:
Col. Christie, OF North Carolina, was
wounded at the battle of Gettysburg,
end died before his wife could reach
him. His last words were, "Kiss me
for my Lizzie" The words are "dedi-
Gated to Mrs. Christie by her friend
Matilda" and are as follows:
l am dying. LIS she coming ? Throw
the window open wide.
Is she coming? Oil l love her more
than all the world beside.
In her young and tender beauty, must,
oh must she suffer loss?
Saviour, hear my poor petition-teach
her how to bear this cross.
Help her to be calm and patient, when
I moulder In the dust;
Let her say and feel, my Father, that
Thy ways are true and just.
Is she coming? Go and lis ten-Iwould
see her face one more
l would hear her speak to me e'er LIES
fevered dream is DER.
I would fold her to my bosom-look
into her soft bright eye;
her once before I die.
10 JIM IA Si ~ SfOIIIHs iIlO
my darling comes not still.
Lift the curtain-it grows darker-it is
sunset on the hill;
All the evening dews are falling-J am
cold-the light is gone.
Is she coming? Softly, softly comes
deaths silent footsteps on /;
I am going. Come and kiss me-kiss
me for my darling wife;
Take for her my parting-take the last
warm kiss of life;
Tell her 1 will wait to greet her, where
the good and lowly are;
In that home untouched by sorrow, tell
her she must meet me there.
Is she coming? Lift the curtain-let
me see the failing light;
Oh l want to live to see her-surely
she will come tonight
Surely, e'er the daylight dieth, I will
fold her to my breast;
With her head upon my bosom, calmly
I would sink to rest.
1t is hard to die without her. Look, ]
think she's coming now;
1 can almost feel her kisses on my
faded cheek and brow;
1 can almost hear her whisper-feel
her breath upon my cheek.
Hank! l hear the front door open. Ii
she coming? Did she speak?
No! Well, drop the curtain softly. ]
shall see her face no more,
Till 1 see it smiling on me, on that
bright and better shore.
Tell her she must come and meet me
in that Eden land of light;
Tell her Ill be waiting for her where
there is no death, no night;
Tell her that 1 called her darling
blessed her with my dying breath
Como and kiss me for my Lizzie-tel,
her love outliveth death.

Many curious and interesting sights
n seen on the Midway Plaisance, this
street Of all nations, the Mecca Of all
visitors to the Great Worlds Fair, at
Chicago: but among all it's exhibits
the Panorama of the Swiss Alps " is
doubtless the most highly artistic. To
those whose good fortune it has been
to go abroad, this panorama awakens
old memories, and to the many who
have been less fortunate this really
grand painting is a revelation. 1t is a
perfect representation of the famed
Bernese Oberland, as it would appear
in all the immensely of reality to a
sight.seer in the midst OF the Alps.
The illusion is made perfect by the
truthfulness of local color and by the
vigorous and sincere painting OF such
artists as Burnand, Baud-Bovy and
Furet. This superb canvas was paint
ed in Paris. France, for the express
purpose of exhibition at the Worlds
Fair, and has received the well-deserv-
ed encomiums Of all the leading French
and American artists.

FOUND HIS UMBRELLA.-"L Last
week | had an umbrella stolen from the
vestibule of the church. 1t was O gift.
and valuing it very highly I spent
double its worth in advertising but
have not recovered It,"
"How did you word the advertise
ment ?" asked a merchant.
Here 1t is" said the man, produce
ing q slip cut from the newspaper.
The merchant took it and read
Lost, from the vestibule of the -
church, last Sunday evening, o black
umbrella. The gentleman who took 1t
will be handsomely rewarded by leav-
ing 1t at No. High street."
49," Now" said the merchant, 81 am a
liberal advertiser and have always
found 1t paid me we'll. A great deal
depends upon the name in which the
advertisement Is put. Let us try your
umbrella again, and II you do not ack-
nowledge that advertising pays will
purchase you O new one."
The merchant took a slip OF paper
from his pocket and wrote:
III the man who was seen to take
the umbrella from the vestibule OF the
- church last Sunday, does not wish to
get into trouble and have O. stain cast
upon his Christin character which he
values so highly, he will return 1t at
once to No. - High street,
This duly appeared In the paper, and
the following morning tho man was
astonished when he opened the front
door OF his residence. On the porch
lay at least a dozen umbrellas of all
shades and sizes that had been thrown
in, while the front yard was literally
paved with umbrellas. Many Of them
had notes attached TO them saying
that they had been talgen by mietake,
and begging the loser to keep the lit
tie affair quiet.

The following is the weather-crop
report from the South Carolina Bureau
of the Department of Agriculture
The temperature during the past
seven days has ranged abnormally
high, averaging about three degrees
above the normal, with a large amount
of sunshine, which, with the small
amount of rain, has allowed crops to
burn considerably.
All rains have been local in character,
and where they occurred were for the
most part in one shower. In some Sec
tions these rains we're excessive, and
a they fallen in several showers
would have been of great benefit. The
heaviest fall occurred in the northwest
part OF Berkeley county, extending into
the adjoining counties of Clarendon,
Colleton and, Orangeburg. The rain
in a part of Berkeley county was so in
tensely heavy (4.12 at trial) that cotton

While cotton has recovered from the
previous heavy rains in Orangeburg
county, it Is not making the progress
expected. The heavy rains there this

Many reports are to the effect that
crops have no burnt as bad in years,
and are unusually poor.
Cotton is firing at the bottom and
blooming near the top, making, indeed,
a gloomy outlook for the crop. Little
or no progress has been made this
week. The plant has either stopped
growing or is growing very slow. The
working out grass has nearly killed
large quantities. A slight improve
ment has been noticed in Edgefeld,
Aiken and Sumter counties ; also along
the coast sea island cotton is doing fair

Corn Is smaller than usual and gener-
ally so badly burned as to cause great
apprehension and some estimates run
below half a crop. Low ground corr

drought, but needs rain badly. The
ground Is baked SO hard that young

Gardens r burned up. Melons in
