EUening Thoughts.
BY LAURA EDYTHE BLAIR.

When the shades of evening low
ering,
Cast long shadows DER the earth,
And the suns declining glory
Lends a charm of untold worth,
Then it is in dusky silence,
We can sit so utterly,
Outside all life's fretty worries
In unbroken revelry.
We can look in calm reflection
Ger the events of the day,
Storing courage for the morrow,
If so thorny be the way,
Asking strength of Him who giveth,
Giving selfish thoughts no room,
Gathering patience for life's battle,
While the. twilight gathers gloom.
If we but recall the mercies
Showered on us through the day,
We should then not think the crosses
All life's better things outweigh.
For VIC are only pupils,
Learning from a Master, good and
wise,
And the troubles oft are lessons,
Only blessings in disguise.
While the purple shadows. deepen,
Then it Is of all the day
When we are freed from pressing
duties,
That our thoughts may have full
sway.
So in hours of misty twilight,
We should put days cares aside
For calm and restful patience,
Are these thoughts at eventide.

Letter From Pine Ton.

As old Sol arose bright and clear
on the morning of the 8th-toker
of beautiful day-hundreds of fail
women and brave men might have
been seen vending their way to
Glendale Academy to witness the
closing exercises of Prof. Fry's
school. This is his sixth term al
this place, and he ought to be styled
the fsuniversal teacher" as he gives
/ general satisfaction to the public.
This school is located in communi-
ty noted for its citizenship. Among
the most noted we will mention:
Rev. c. c. Mcdaniel, whose son
is the present surveyor of the coun-
ty, and has recently added to his
ripe scholarship thorough short
hand course; the Ammonses, ST.
lers, Matches, Scoggins, Mars and
that big hearted prince OF gen.
tlemen, Alex Ross.
Every body expected something,
but expectation was surpassed.
Rarely has it ever been our privi-
lege to witness such an exhibition
of progress in moral, mental and
literary culture. The Montezuma
band discoursed thrilling music
throughout the evening. Prof. Am
mons and Prof. Marsh delivered adj
dresses that evinced ability. George
Stevens, though but Is years old,
was the orator of the occasion and
acquitted himself with honor, and
young Doris Rush, eagle Moore
Ayres, Murcheson all proved them
selves young Demostheneses. The
address by Miss Marzella Ross
was good and rarely equalled, For
elocutionsry powers, she is a regu-
lar Patti. The address by Mr..
Woods Fries little girl could not
be excelled. thought what pity
it was that she was not a boy. She
has the finest oratorical ability l
ever heard of either sex-it is he
reditary from her grand father, DIR.
hurry Fry, who was natures orator.
The little daughter OF Mr., Huddle-
ston won the applause of the audi
ence. Numbers of students acted
their parts we'll in the various tab
leaux and dialogues until / o'clock,
and military exercises closed the
program of the evening. Consider
ing the short period of their prac
tice they are daisies, and already
remind you of the renowned Chick
asaw Guards. | understand that
Prof. and Capt. J. X. Mcdaniel
will make an application to the
Governor to equip the company.
They have not yet determined
whether they will enter the great
inter state drill at Memphis. |
Prof. Farris is determined to con-
test for the $75 premium for the
best drilled soldier, but his friends
say if the word single is not stricken
out that he will not be eligible very
long. Gum NUNC.

A Young Couple Join Hands
and Hearts.

Mr.. T. L. Ammons, of Bolivar,
and Miss Cora Milstead, of Walnut
Grove, were married, Sunday,
March 18th, at the home of the
bride, Rev. U. A. West officiating.
The heme had been tastefully deco
rated by loving hands for the occa-
sion, and the young couple were the
recipients of many. kind and loving
wishes from their host of friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
Joe Milstead, a prosperous farmer,
of the 18th District, and is much
admired for her sweet disposition,
and womanly virtues and will be
sadly missed by her home ones, and
large circle of relatives and friends.
The groom is the industrious and
energetic son of Mr.. r. +. Am
mons, who served the county so
faithfully for a number of years as
register. After the ceremony, the
bridal couple and a number of
friends came to Bolivar, and repair
ed to the groom's fathers, where an
elegant reception was rendered
them-supper being served at 6
o'clock.
Hoping that no dark cloud may
arise to obscure the brightness of
their future happiness, is the wish of
"a YOU'VE LADY FRIEND.

less.
Everybody is familiar enough with
weather reports to know that we have
'higS barometer" on clear, dry days
and Glow barometer on damp days;
that the first indicates good weather
ant the last stormy weather. But
"high barometer" means that the col
umn of mercury is well up in the tube,
and Glow barometer that it is down.
We know, therefore, that as dry air
bears down more heavily upon the mer-
curry in the cup than damp air, it must
be heavier than damp air. A very sim
pie and servieeable barometer may be
made at home, without cost. The only
things needed are a wide-mOuthed glass
jar-a pickle bottle viii dO-a clean
Venetian oil flask, and half a pint of
plain water. Pour the water into the
jar, letting it come to within One-third
of the top. and insert the oil flask up
side down IN the jar, so that the neck
of Ihe flask will just enter the water.
That is all.

Building and Loan Associations In Danger.
A remarkable feature Of the past 20
years has been the great increase in the
number Of associations formed by work
men for the purpose Of securing houses,
or for investing their savings III i'm
proved real estate. This method Of util-
izing a series Of weekly or monthly pay
ments for the purchase Of property has
proved so successful that there are now
thousands Of loan associations, with
hundreds Of thousands Of members.
To every man who has invested his
savings in building and loan society
the threat of free silver coinage Is of the
greatest importance. Openly advocated
rs a method OF enabling debtors to cheat
their creditors out Of half their debts,
the evil Of 80 cent dollars would prove
especially severe ON those whose little
capital is loaned out through these assO-
IiatiOns. Under free silver the borrow
rs would pay off their debts in dollars
worth but half of those loaned. This
would mean the practical cOufiscatiOn
f One-half Of all the money which the
gOrkingmen have with Years Of self
ienial managed to save. Do the Amer
can people wish to enact law which
would perpetrate so great an injustice?

HOMEMADE BAROMETER.
Simple Contrivance by Which Anybody
Can Weigh Air

Simple Contrivance by Which Anybody
Can Weigh Air.
There is one atmospheric phenom-
enon about which there is a wide mis-
conception. When the smoke lies to
the surface of the earth instead Of
moving upward as it generally does,
many people think it is because the air
is heavy. The same people will tell
you, perhaps, that damp air is heavier
than dry ar, for it is on days that the
air is damp that the smoke lies close
TO the earth. On the contrary, damp air
Is lighter than dry air. and it is because
the air is damp that the smoke does not
ascend. 1t is purely question of grav-
ity, of weight. If the lower stratum
of air is heavier than the smoke the
latter will go up; if it be lighter than
the smoke the smoke will not go up so
readily. The barometer is the instru-
ments used by the scientists to deter
mine the weight of the air. As usually
made 1t consists of a cup of mercury,
with which is connected a graduated
glass tube. From the upper part of
this tube the air has been exhausted.
thus forming a vacuum, and the height
of the mercury in the tube denotes the
weight of the atmosphere.
The explanation of this is quite sim
pie. The pressure of the atmosphere
upon the mercury in the cup forces the
mercury up into the tube, where 1t
meets no resistance because the empty
