Beautify the Town,

When an individual purchases prop
erty in d town or village it becomes
his duty if he regards his interest. to
Immediately take steps to increase the
value Of such property. Such efforts
on his part are not only beneficial to
himself but extends to other property
owners in his town.
The planting out OF shade trees In
front of residences or places of business,
the keeping in repair Of sidewalks and
crossings; the liberal application of
paint or whitewash all tend to beautity
a town, and please the eye of the
beholder. Such improvements cost but
small amounts compared to the APP
probation in valuation of property. 1t
therefore becomes the duty Of our
people who are DESTROYS of building up
the town to prepare for putting out
shade trees on all the streets some
time during the coming fall season.
Our woods have various kinds Of
growth suitable for street shades,
which can be procured and set out with
little trouble and small cost. Every
property owner should take an active
interest in beautitying his home and
his village or town.

seen in the shape of a gourd. 1t is of
the long neck (dipper) species and
measures exactly four feet one and
one-half inches. The handle itself
is 43 inches in length. Mr.. Wester
did not raise the gourd himself. 1t
was sent to his son John NJ, by a
friend Of his living somewhere in the
Eastern part of the State, the particu-
lars of which he has forgotten, and has
been in his possession four or five
years. Our good friend John a.

Prof. Simpson Fine Address,
Mr.. Horace Hood Next Sum-
dow

The address OF Prof. Simpson last
Sunday on Purpose" was a treat.
The Professor warmed up under his
subject, and made a fine impression.
He said men should have a purpose.
Every one is bound to find his place in
the world, and devote his talents to a
noble aim. Let God direct you in the
choice, then seek to be your best in
the place where you stand. having the
glory of God in mind. He spoke in
glowing terms of Mr.. Gladstone i'll his
heroic stand against national wrong,
and every form Of gain by oppression
and fraud But Christ is the only per-
feet model, and in our purposes it
won't do to leave Him out. Take Him
into your plans and purposes.
The address was listened to with
close attention, and many remarked at
its close that they were inspired and
helped by it.
John Hill Tucker recited Longfel-
lows Psalm of Life with effect. 1t
was a fitting close to Prof. Simpson
lecture.

sized two points. First, all have an
influence for good or for evil. Every
one helps form some other character.
Secondly, self-sacritice is indistruct-
ible. We are ''only remembered by
the deeds we have done" Selfshuess
is easily forgotten. Thousands of men
of wealth and social power have died
and been forgotten, but those who
have done noble deeds of self-sacritice
live in our hearts. Washington is an
example. First in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts Of his
countrymen. If you desire to live in
the memory and affections Of the
world, don't seek great things for
MyseIf," but have a purpose true;"
live for others ''die out for SELF" and
like the ''Son Of God who came not to
be ministered unto, but to Minister
''go about doing good" and you shall
be ever loved by those who knew you,
and your name will always be remem-
bered in love.
