WITHIN the past week the officially
inspired German press, which formerly
had been pounding England as hard as
violent language could go, have sud-
denly ceased their blasts against Great
Britain, but it cannot be ascertained
that there has been any change in the
course of the policy of Germany. except
that from some cause, which is generally
supposed to be representations on the
part of the other parties to the Triple
Alliance-Austria and Italy-the en-
peror has put check upon German
diplomatic activity in quarters where
there have been ieslousies upon the part
of England based upon the supposition
that Germany's attitude was hostile.

result, and unless theintiammation can be taken

nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu-

CAMPBELL'S STATION, June 1.-The
tongue that lies between the lips of a
slanderer, is like the pendulum of a
clock; swinging too an fro, never out of
employment. Sometimes it dips honey
and sometimes gall, sometimes it
breaks mothers heart, and very often
it blackens and degrades the spotless
character of once pure and noble per-
son. It's bitter and sweet will kneel at
your feet and administer poison in
phrases of love. Like death it cloves a
shining mark" Very often a young
man who thinks his personal appear
ance and social standing should be con-
sidered above the average by the flair

poison from his treacherous tongue
which forever blights the character of
an innocent girl. Such a man has
neither character or principal, and is
not fit to be guard dog for a decent
gentleman.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Mrs. j. w. Bassham, our interesting
"Sylvia," is on the sick list.
Death came into our home on the
morning of May the llth, and took
away our much loved cousin, Mrs.
Dora Younger. She had been brought
here about three weeks previous to see
if she would not improve, as she had
been in wretched health for sometime.
But, against all that willing hands and
loving hearts could do, she gradually
grew weaker until that sun-lit Monday
morning came, and with it the Death
Angel, to bear her spirit home. Just
broke our hearts to hear her little boys
say, sob, mama, don't leave u.s." And
her aged fathers words and tears of
mingled pity would have touched the
hardest heart. Never was a father
more kind and tender than was he
during her illness. The reward for
such tenderness and patience will be
great indeed, according to the promises
of God. She suffered much, but was
patient even in the last hours. To the
brothers whom she so much loved, we
would say weep not as others having
no hope, for Dora is enjoying the pres
ence of your sainted mother, who has
long since been awaiting her coming in
the heavenly home. The funeral SER
vices were conducted in our home by
Revs. Gray and GuptOn. We wish to
thank our neighbors for their goodness
and untiring Kindness to her, as well as
to us, while she was with us. Praying
Gods choicest blessing on the two lit
tie orphan boys, am, with sad heart,
ZULA.
