Love Me Before / Die.

Geo. D. Prentice, the brilliant
journalist, wrote many things that
will stand the test of time, but
nothing worthy of higher place
than these touching words:
"Do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness,
speak approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear them and
while their hearts can be thrilled
and made happier by them. The
kind things you mean to say when
they are gone say before they go.
The flowers you mean to send for
their cofins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have
alabaster boxes laid away, full of
fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which they intend
to break over my dead body, l
would bring them out of my weary
and troubled hours and open them
that may be refreshed and cheer
ed by them while I need them. L
would rather have a plain coffin
without a flower, a funeral without
an eulogy, than life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy.
Let US learn to anEoint our friends
beforehand for their burial. Post
mortem kindness does not cheer
the burdened spirit. Flowers OH
the coffin cast no fragrance back
ward over the weary way"

To the Editor of the News and
Courier: 1 will give an accurate
statement of the kind and amount
of feed, and method of preparing
the same and cost of feeding my
prize pig during the contest.
The kind of feed was corn meal
altogether, and the amount of
same was twenty bushels. The cost,
as I have not kept we'll posted on
the market price of corn, 1 will say
the cost is about $12.
The meal was prepared with slop
and milk from the kitchen, and
fed regularly three times per day.
In addition to this l will give
my-idea of hog-raising. I think
the majority of farmers keep more
hogs than they can well feed. In
my experience have found that
one hog we'll fed and attended to
will give more profit than several
would if neglected and poorly fed.
So if have more than can feed
I sell them off to such q
number that 1 can properly attend
to. Since adopting this plan some
seven years ago l have not bought
one pound of meat or lard, and
have had both to sell every year.

OVER THE COUNTY.

In no line of business has the in
genuity of man and the inventions
of this age made greater strides than
in the milling business. What a
revolution, for instance, Ashton
Bros. new Plansifter Mill would be
to the miller of twenty-five years
ago. We used to send north for our
flour, as we did for almost every
thing else; but now the Maury
County farmer can take his wheat to
Ashton Bros. and exchange it fol
the sweetest, purest, whitest tloul
on earth. If you doubt it, try it,
anyhow, on their word. See theil
card on the seventh page.
j. w. Caldwell has lately started
soap factory at his home about
three miles north of Columbia. The
soap that he makes is a hard silver
gray and is a good article. 1t is
made without cooking.
George, the three-year-old son OF
John A. Thomas of Bigbyville, fell

of his arms in three places.

ICE CREAM SC.
GEORGE s. ALCORN.

a palpable hit. A duet. sung by
Mrs. G. A. Forgey, and Mr.. Merret
Pitcher, of Nashville, followed.
Their beautiful voices blended
sweetly, and they were of course en-
cored. The "Gobble Song" was
their encore, and Columbia audi
ence never heard it sound sweeter.
Summer" by Miss Elizabeth
Dale, came next, her lovely voice
giving unmistakable evidence of its
recent training, To an enthusiastic
encore she sang 1.-THE Last Rose of
Summer
"How Strangely Sweet" by Mrs.
Forgey, was strangely sweet indeed.
If anything was ever sweeter it was
her encore, "Aunt Jane Jones'" No
one could possibly have sung the
little ballad sweeter or acted it pref
tier, and there is no telling how
many more pieces the audience
would have made Mrs. Forgey sing,
if they had not been compelled,
through politeness, to stop their APP
plause and give attention to another
pretty picture on the stage.
A solo by Mr.. Merrett Pitcher, OF
Nashville, was the next musical
number. The richness and sweet
ness of his voice had been heralded
before his coming, and he faced his
audience with quite reputation TO
sustain. He did so, easily and
beautifully, and his name will be a
drawing card on any future program.
Beautiful as his solo was, the selec-
ton was perhaps trifie low and his
perfect and pure tenor showed to a
better advantage in the duet with
Mrs. Forgey, Tell Me With Thine
Eyes" Nothing could have been
prettier than this.
The Mandolin Club gave several
nice selections, and Miss Campers
