I'VE call this satin, and among our
women it is called honestie. John &C.
rards.
There IL a modest flower that spreads
Where Nstic gardens blow,
But In our formal city beds
Would hardly dare to grow
A plant that's dear as dear can be,
BY country folk called honesty.
The tulips naughty head may toss;
Plain honesty plods on,
And every pale bloom is a cross
II opens TO the sun;
For tits plant OF low degree.
This patient. sturdy honesty.
And in the kitchen-garden near
Its humble klnsfolk dwell
A family that's most sincere.
And often harsh as WE'LL
Pungent and sharp they well may be
II near Of kin 10 honesty.
But when the pride OF summer goes.
When flowers and fragrance fail,
When not a lilly nor rose
But mourns It's beauties frail,
What moonlight halos, pure and free,
Adorn the head of honesty!
Thrice blessed flower! the grace is thine
To live unseen, unknown,
And ever bear the holy sign
That marks the saints alone,
And then, at last such fruits to see,
Thou white-crowned, radiant honesty.

Death of Dr. MoKrow.

Perhaps no death has ever
occurred in Hardeman Coun-
ty that is more universally
regretted than DR.. @. w.
Morrow's. For many months
past, his once strong consti-
tuition has been gradually
giving away to the ravages
of disease. From day to day
he grew weaker until last
Tuesday, when death reliev-
ed him of his sufferings.
The success attained byDr.
Morrow in the practice Of
medicine is equa,led by few
Of those engaged in the same
avocation. The fdence of
his patrons in his skill as a
physician was simply implic-
it. The greatest, or at least
one or the greatest pleasures
of his life, was healing the
sick. Some time ago, he
was asked why he did lot
give up his practice and en-
JOY the remainder of his life.
His reply was, my pleasure
is my practice The secret
of his success was, no doubt,
due to the great interest he
took IN his profession. His
predominant characteristic
was benevolence, hence wor-
thy appeals, that the world
knew nothing of, were by
him needed.

that proportion do they revert to
the condition of the SAVAGE; that
labor is the index of civilization and
that without it civilization itself
would be lost. The pernicious doc

the contrary, the disgrace OF indo-

all. On the other hand, diligence,
economy and attention to business

There is no real greatness with
out labor. The horny hand, the
brawny arm, the stalwart form, if
connected with honesty, intelligence
and moral worth, augment rather
than diminish respect. The truth
is being clearly recognized that the
man or the state, incapable of labor,
is incapable of greatness; that labor
is the living soul of nations as we'll
as of individuals; that in proper
