The congregation at Shiloh last Sunday
was large and the sermon by Rev. ]. r..
Earle was fine. 1t is truly treat to hear
this man of God expound the truth as it
is is in the Bible. The pastor, Rev. Mr..
Wright. was not present on account Of
the death of his wife, which occurred on
Sunday morning. His friends of this
community heard the news with sadness.
We extend our sympathies to the be-
reaved ones in their sorrow.
Mr. Samuel Fl. Earle died at his home,
Evergreen, on Sunday night the 9th inst,
in the 10th year of his age. He bore bis
sufferings, which were intense, with per-
feet resignation, arranging his affairs in
his lucid moments for the journey
through the valley of the shadow of
death. Mr.. Earle was esteemed by his
neighbors as true. upright, honorable
gentleman, and his place will be hard to
fill. He will be sadly missed around the
family circle. He was buried at Shiloh
Tuesday, the funeral being conducted by
Rev. Hugh McLees. We tender our con-
dolence to the sorrowing ones in their
anlic,ion.
Mr.. Jas. L. McGee and Miss Jennie
McGukin were married at the home of
the bride by Rev. r. G. Ligon on We'd
nesday, the 10Th inst. This happy couple
have our best wishes for future happi-
ness in their auspiciOus start on the
Matrimonial sea.
Among the visitors at Shiloh on last
Sunday we noticed Mr.. Harper Scudday
and Miss Gentry, w. G. Hodges and Miss
Rainey, of Starr, and Miss Emma John
son, of Easley, S. C.
Our farmers are moving lively. Every
edge is being made to cut and various
kinds of farm work is progressing we'll

We are generally enjoying fair health.

President he was appointed, through Stewards
influence, consul at Singapore. He signalized his
exit from the consular service by bringing the
Maharajah of Singapore or some Oriental locality
to the Worlds Fair in Chicago He starred the
Oriental potentate in great shape on that occa-
sion and then disappeared. He was editor of a
paper in Idaho for while, but became known
on the Pacific coast editor OF the Overland

Stewart became his influence in a political way
and he secured an appointment as consul at

Dentistry and Mules.

One of the queerest of earthly bust
nesSes is that of mule dentist Accord
ing to The Road, there is one member
of that profession who has two hun
dred and ninety patients on his regu-
lar list. He is employed to look after
the teeth of mules that work in MINIS.
A dentist has not yet been hired TO at
tend to the mouths of the human en-
ployes of this mining company, but
that may come in time. At present
the mule has the advantage.
OF course, the mule dentist does not
put gold filling into the teeth of his
patients or give them laughing gas.
The gold filling would break the COM
pany's bank account, and the laughing
gas might break somebody's bones, for
persons have been known to exhibit
wonderful pugilistic powers under the
influence of that anaesthetic, and the
mules nature is such that it is not de-
sirable that he should be any more
pugnacious than he is. Neither does
the dentist make false teeth for any of

his patients. But he is a dentist, all

his patients. But he is a dentist, all
the same, and earns his salary.
The chief trouble with mules teeth
Is that in course of time his grinders
become so worn that they are shorter
than his front teeth, and so do not meet,
and mastication is impossible. Under
those circumstances the animal natur-
ally bolts his food, and that makes him
have dyspepsia, and besides the trouble
of taking care of the long-eared invalid
when his temper is rendered uncertain
by indigestion, there is a prospect that
in the near future the proprietor will
lose valuable mule. So then the dent
list is called in. and he files the front
teeth down an eighth of an inch, so
times, also he extracts a diseased
tooth, and whenever he has had any
thing to do with a mule, that mule
remembers him forever after, and
wants to bite a piece out of the gen.
tleman's anatomy on every subsequent
sight of him, just to show that the job
was done well. The instruments of the
operator weigh, when in their case,
fully sixty pounds, and some of them
are three feet long. Altogether, mule
dentistry is more odd than agreeable
when considered as the mission of ones
life E

a Whit or two. Then a Mauser bullet
clipped the stem close to his mouth
and knocked the pipe into the ditch.
He picked it up, saw that the bowl was
not broken, and that some of the stem
was left, filled and lighted it again,
and smoked. The French officer looked
as il he had caught a new kind of
man and did not know how to classify
him. He turned to another soldier
who had seen the whole performances
and asked: What stuff are you Ameri-
cans made of, anyway"
Goodness such as this appears even
more mysterious to a native of a
country where mechanical and cleo
trical appliances are not brought TO
such perfection as they are mere.
Necessarily, among people eager 10
evolve something better and better In
the line of machinery with each sue
ceeding year, many dangerous expert
ments must be tried and men insensi-
bly, get into the habit of taking risks
coclly. There is many workshop IN
which the turn of a hand in the wrong
direction means death to the workman
Linemen and dynamite workers ham
die chained death every day of their
lives, and most of them have had mar
row escapes at one time or another
Among people whose daily life Is fuh
of dangers brave men are inevitably de-
veloped. The risks of our civil life are
very much like the risks of modern
warfare. 1t does not take nearly as
much courage to face a man In
rough and tumble wrestle, when one
blood is up and one has had training
in that line, as it does to stay on
locomotive and try to save the passen-
gers when there is going to be col
lision. And this sort of coid-blooded,
logged, steadfast courage is character
istic of the American fighter.

STRANGE SEA SERPENT.
George Oliver Gives Lurid De-

guest there. He has grown considerably
in the last few years. George Oliver de-
clares that he saw the serpent.

were leaving Thousand Island Park"
says Mr. Oliver. "The air was still and
the sun very hot. Some distance away
u tug was putting away pulling raft
Suddenly between me and the tug
arose the head of the serpent. I saw it go
up and up until the head was fully thirty
or forty feet above the water. | could
hardly believe my eyes. but there it was.
Finally 1t looked around. its great saucer
like eyes facing me. On seeing the
steamer the reptile bowed and sank"
Mr. Oliver says the serpent has head
six feet across, great eyes, giraffe neck
and body like horse, and was covered
with scales as large as dinner plates.

Church steeples are generally considered as OF

The adage ''Nil nisi bonum de mortuis'' does
not always hold good. 1t must be said of Bis
marck that he not quite a gentleman in our
sense of the word and was a man of ferocious
buster and truculent bloodthirsty utteranees
There Is abundant justification for those asper-
sions. The man who, when Jules Faure complain.
ed to him that the Germans were firing on the
sick and the blind in the Blind Institute, could
boast of having replied, Il do not know what
you find in that. You do far worse; you shoot
at our men who sound and in vigorous health

The man who. when told that among the French
prisoners taken at lie Bourget, were number
OF Francs tireurs-only 50 in name, stree the
'Francstireurs de la Presse,' wore uniforms
Uared in disgust, THAT they should ever take
Francstireurs prisoners! They ought to have
them shot down by filesr'Lsuch man was
none other than a bloodthrsty savage The
man who, informed of the masses OF conscript
prisoners taken in one of Prince Frederick
Charles's battles on the Loire, exclaimed sPris-
oners! prisoners! What the devil do we
want with prisoners? Why don't they make
battle of them?' should have lived in the dark
ity. Asked what should be done with Garibaldi
were he caught, Bismarcks reply was. ''Oh, we
shall show him about for money, with a pacard
around his neck labeled Tngratitude' - For
those kindly and humane utterances / am not
responsible; they are taken from the pages OF
