came across a letter that read about

Russell Sage:

that unless the money arrives at my

During the Spring and early sum-
mer months, quite number of the
Sunday School workers having been
holding services in the churches in the
neighboring township, thus awakening
a new interest in this line of Christian

sumed, and will be held regularly
once each week. To night the service
will be held in the Church at Espy.

Healthy, happy babies are generally
the offspring of healthy, happy mothers.
1t would hardly be natural if it were
otherwise. The baby's health and hap
piness depend on the mothers. The
mothers condition during CESSATION par
ticularly exerts an influence on the
whole life of the child.
Impure blood, weakness and nervous
ness in the mother are pretty sure to
repeat themselves in the child.
If woman Is not careful at any other
time, she certainly should be during the
period preliminary to parturition. II is
a time when greatest care is necessary,
and Nature will be the better for little
help. Even strong, we'll women will
find themselves feeling better, their time
of labor shortened and their pains less
ened if they will take DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 70 those whom
troubles peculiarly feminine have rend-
cred in any degree weak, it will prove a
veritable blessing. It is good general
tonic for the whole system, and at any
time will promote the proper and regular
action of all the organs. It is a medicine
fortwomen only and for all complaints
confined to their sex is of inestimable
! value.

NKIGHBORHOOD NEWS
Interesting Items From Various Points in
the County, Reported by Our staff Of
Correspondents.
EAST BENTON.

Jack Frost tried his hand with his
trump card last Saturday night and
cooked things up generally.
1t may be said that we have been
well blessed with refreshing rains the
past season, but we never saw the
small streams lower than at this
writing.
Notwithstanding the frost and other
signs of inclemency the corn didn't
become shocked worth cent.
Fall seeding is only fairly COM
menced. While many are done others
have not yet begun. "Seed time
and harvest shall never fail" In fact
people are always sowing and reap
ing.
Game is exceedingly scarce. We
have seen but one pheasant in six
months and but two quail in a year.
We have not heard a dozen gunshots
ance the game season commenced.
Perhaps the Republican thunder
during the Quay and Hastings cam
paign frightened away the game.
Should the silver become an issue
there would be chinking and ringing
campaign.
Those who are seeking official posi-
ton must have lofty aspirations. 1t
seems that those aspirations must be
considerably Inundated when the
aspirant is obliged to drag and drudge
through all the political slum and
mud hunting up and catching the
doubtful and floating element which
always jumps at two dollar bait.
The dying and decaying foliage
with the sombre appearance Of nature
admonish us of the approach of the
inclement season to which many look
forward with gloomy forebodings. Not
all are allie to make ample provision
for hard winter, but there is full and
plenty for every body and hence
those who have large surplus should
see to it that those are supplied who
are in need and want. All have not
tine same opportunity to SOW and
gather that others have, and though
there may be drones in the hive of
industry; yet it appears that all have
their use in society, and as the saying
is, "it takes all kinds of people to
make world; hence there is a
mutual dependence, one upon the
other, through the entire brotherhood
of mankind.
The new woman with pants and
bloomers will have some advantage in
gale over her predecessors, as she
will not catch and resist so much wind.
Itis said "there is always room on
the upper shelf" Yes the upper shelf
Is always up so high that nobody can
reach it. Otherwise excursions and
picnics would fill it when they are
once all shelved. Even worn out
party hacks and disappointed poll
ucans never get on the upper shelf
though they get effectually shelved.
The general health of our people is
good at present.
Buckwheat threshing comes much
earlier than usual. Not because Of
earlier sowing, but because of more
rapid development during the time o
growing.

A Fire Curtain of Water.

An effective device for the protection
Of buildings from fires in adjacent struc-
lures has been successfully tested in
Boston. The idea worked out in the ap-
paratus is to maintain sheet Of water
between the fire and the building to he
protected. This is done by placing on
every open side of the building near the
top line Of perforated piping for car
rying water. The complete apparatus
consists Of a five inch standpipe, ex-
tending over the upper story. From it
runs another pipe around the sides and
front, from az to inches in diameter.
On the front are three revolving sprin-
klers, and one is placed at each exposed
side, in the center. The arms are Of
bronze metal, slightly curved. At each
end Of the arms is a ball nozzle, such
as is used by fire departments on regu-
lar hose lines. At the base Of the stand
pipe is a Siamese connection for four
lines Of three inch hose. At the Boston
test fire department steamer furnished
the power, and for about 10 minutes
poured through the sprinkler delivery
Of 1000 gallons minute, completely
drenching the walls and keeping con-

HOW EASILY THINGS GO WRONG

Alasl how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much or q kiss too long,
And there follows mist and weeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alas! how hardly things go right!
IT'S hard to watch on a summers night,
For the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay,
And the summers night is winters day.
And yet how easily things go right,
II the sigh and the kiss of winters night
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That is born in the light of the winters dayi
And things can never go badly wrong
II the heart be true, and the love be strong,
For the mist, if it comes, and the weeping
rain
Will be changed by the love into sunshine
again.

Who infest the market and are the means
of robbing sick people of their money,
and what is of still greater consequence
of not unfrequently aggravating the
com plants under which they labor. 1t is
an act of duty we owe to society to warn
the people against these dangerous
frauds. A little care on the part of the
purchaser will protect them from the i'm
position by bearing in mind this fact;
Never buy where it is offered in bulk, Gin

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We refer
tn Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is
kept at hand severe pain of burn or
scald may be promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than when
medicine has to be sent for. A sprain
may be promptly treated before infam-
nation sets in, which lnsures a cure in
about one-third the time otherwise re-
uuired. Cuts and bruises should receive
immediate attention, before the parts be-
come swollen, and when Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and with
out leaving scar. A sore throat may
be cured in one night. A piece of flannel
damped with this linament and bound on
over the seat of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the side or chest in twenty
four hours. II is the most valuable, how
ever, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted
with this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which it af-
fords, and it can be depended upon to
effect com plete cure. For sale by A. O.

The Durham Rites.

The Durham Rites" speak of great

by the house to help the monks in their

From the same Rites we learn that
in the dormitory each monk had little
chamber to himself with window, or
a bit of window, and in the window
desk for books, SO that he could study,
if he pleased, in the hours spent in the
dormitory. Special directions were
given that the monks and novices were
not to be disturbed in their "carrells"
