This Word Picture Somehow Awakens
Pleasant Memories.
Over the whole village that stiffness
reigns which only Sunday in summer
can produce. 1t is nearing the noon

everywhere.
The quiet of the streets seems to be
intensified as one approaches the corner
where the small stone church stands
alone. There is a service going on in.

family waited from within reaches the
deserted streets outside. Rows Of houses
with closed blinds and unoccupied door
steps meet the eye on every side, and
down narrow lane near at hand a
freshly painted barn CLEANS holly in the
fierce sunshine. Three or four pigeons
have futtered to the roof and are sun
ming themselves and softly cooling
Near the door of the church a horse
and buggy stand, and now and again
the animal, bothered by flies, stamps
and splashes in the shallow puddle un-
der him.
A dog trots lazily up the street and
stops on his way to chase and bark at
few belated sparrows. One Of the pigeons
stalks with dignity across the roof, and
another futters into the air with
whirring sound and disappears
The sound Of the organ has died quite
away and only the distant clucking of
disturbed hen breaks the quiet. The sun
light seems to have taken on darker
shade
A sharp gust of wind sweeps up and
down the street and rushes through the
foliage OF the sleeping trees The spar
rows that occupied the street are not in
sight No living thing is to be seen, and
the newly painted barn, that moment
ago looked scorched and blistered. seems
to have taken on a cooler tinge. The
breeze has died quite away, and there
is moment of supreme stiffness.
Then dull, sullen sound that seems
like the roar of a distant train steals
upon the air. 1t comes again, and there
is no mlstaking tit is thunder. A

and as they increase in number they de-
crease in size. There is a gentle patter
on the sidewalk, on the house tops,
through the trees, which becomes more
and more hurried until it generates into
steady rush Of falling rain. The land
scape is almost shut out from sight.
Slowly and by hardly peroeptible de-
grees the steady rush becomes a patter.

A MATTER or GOOD LUCK.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal is
of the opinion that it is more matter
of good luck than good management
that this country doesn't have mighty
sight harder time than it does. 1t
says:
$50 long as this country had patri-
mony of lands and mineral wealth
which it could sell to foreign clpital-
lists money was no object. When rail
roads all over the country were receiv-
ing the customary sixteen sections of
land to the mile the bonds went abroad
and the money received for them was
spent here in reckless profusiOn. No
such conditions exist today. The
magnificent patrimony has been dissi-
pated, the lands have been exhausted,
there is nothing left that the nation or
any state can sell or mortgage, and the
interest on the old mortgages is falling
due with inconvenient celebrity. The
flush times are no longer here, and
people must make up their minds to
do as other people are doing. Econo-
mics, great and small, must be prac-
ticed. Thrift and enterprise must be
encouraged. The day of small things
must not be despised. Public salaries
and fees must be subjected to the prun
ing knife, and the appropriations of
public moneys held within bounds, in
keeping with the necessary retrench-
ment in private expenses. A less gOr-
geous and prOdigal method must be
pursued from top to bottom. This
country is the greatest on earth be-
cause it is, relatively, sparsely settled
and we have had much natural wealth
to dispose Ofin the past. People it as
Belgium and there would be more pow
erty, starvation and suffering than
there is IN India today inIthe unhappy
Valley of the Gauges. We do not know
how to live in moderation, but we
must learn, and that soon. The coun-
try is filing up and the struggle for
existence is becoming fiercer each
year. Economy in all things should
be the watchword."
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1896-12-09

A rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed young
compositor on one of our contempo-
raries called upon the object of his af-
lection Sunday night, and the CONVEX
sation turned on newspaper work.
The young man asked the lady to de-
fine the difference between printing
and publishing. She blushingly re-
piled: "You may prints kiss on my
cheek but you Imay not publish it,
And then he 'locked" the fair
form" in his arms and event to
press"
