Mr.. Davies presiding elder, being
on hand to expound Holy Writ,
which he does just splendidly. He
gave us a we'll delivered sermon
Sunday at IL a. m. from the 2Gth
chapter of Revelations, 18th verse,
which he handled SO nicely that
every one present seemed delight
ed, and will go again to hear him
preach. He is very pleasant and
nice gentleman. He administered
the Lords Supper to about rs COM
municants, and continued the ser
vices into the week.
Rah! for Montgomery, La. It's
an assured fact that we are to

the future for a boom up our way.

our country and town a good send
off, which is sadly needed. We
have as good land, good health,
water, society, and people, and last,

town or community can boast of.
Why not put our heads together
and pull on q newspaper and win,
for the best interest of our parish
as to pull for entertainments for
schools or churches?

TIE 1nings IN the Bottom Dra,oer.

There are whips and toys and pieces of string
There shoes which no little feet wear;
There are bits of ribbon and broken rings,
And tresses of golden hair;
here are little dresses folded way
Out of the light of the sunny day.
Thre are dainty jackets that never are worn !;
There are toys and models of ships;
There are books and pictures, all faded and
torn.
And marked by finger tips
OF dimpled hands that have fallen to dust;
Yet strive to think that the Lord is just.
But a feeling of bitterness fills my soul
Sometimes when try to pray,
That the Reaper has spared SO many flowers
And taken all mine away;
and almost doubt that the Lord can know
That mothers heart can love them
They wander far in distant chimes,
Thy perish by water and food
and their hands black with the direst
crimes
That kindle the wrath of God.
Yet a mothers song has soothed them to rest
She has lulled them to slumber upon her
breast.
and then think OF my children three,
sly babies that never grew old,
and know they are waiting and watching for
me
In Che city with streets of gold.
Safe, safe from the cares of the weary years,
From sorrow and sin and war,
And thank my God with falling tears,
For the things in the bottom drawer.

Gran'ther Mayher was dead.
A small vial of laudanum was found
on the carpet beside the bed, and it
was at first supposed that he had died
from an overdose Of laudanum. But
medical examination showed that he
had come to his sudden death by per-
fectly natural causes. An acute dis
ease which had long preyed upon him,
without the knowledge of any save
and his physician, had sudden
ly set it's fangs in his heart while he
slept.
That night when they had dressed
Gran'ther Mayhem for his last rest,
Sadie took me in to see him. There,
with my hand in one of hers, and the
other laid upon her dead husbands
breast, she vowed VOW never more
TO look upon the face of Colin Balfour.

him by my hand the vial of lauda-
num, and my lips the witness to her
VOW.

Melancholy Condition OF 4ooo People in

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February 8.-Four
thousand people in Concordia and Cata-
houla parishes, in the northern portion
of Louisiana, are on the verge OF starva-
ton. Information received from that
section shows that the people are in
pitiable plight, and unless relief is given
them at once many deaths from starya-
ton will result. The floods of last sum
mer destroyed their crops, and the water
remained on the earth SO long that it
was not possible to plant corn OF any
thing else beyond SOME quickly maturing
vegetables. Hundreds moved away. but
thousands were unable to leave. Those
remaining have subsisted during the win
ter on wild game, but SO much game has
been destroyed, they have nothing now
to keep cody and soul together. TIE
presidents of the different exchanges in
Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans
have called meetings of their organiza-
tions to raise funds for the sufferers.
