TO be on good terms with the pub
fishers of local papers is more inn
portant consideration than many
merchants realize. One of State
streets most successful advertising
men told me the other day that
much of his success was owing to
his policy of treating the news
papers right. He said he was never
too busy to treat their advertising
solicitors politely, always endeav-
ored to avoid friction in regard to
the setting of his ads, and in every
way tried to maintain cordial rela-
tions. The result is that the news

CARMACK'S NOMINATION.

They Have Wisely Left the Field to tho
Young Statesman.
Carmack has been nominated by
reclamation to succeed himself in
Congress. How different the news
of yesterday from that which came
from Memphis two years ago when
the Democrat came to name their
candidate for Congress. Then the
Hon. Josiah Patterson, bullying with
pride because he was the chief
cuckoo of the South, laid claim to
being the nominee of the Democ-
racy, and Carmack was compelled
to disprove the false pretense in one
of the fiercest political struggles
ever witnessed in the state. Though
beaten at the polls, the Hon. Josiah
kept up the fight upon Carmack un-
til finally buried by Congress few
weeks ago. His fate seems to have
proved an effective warning against
all others of his tribe, aud they have
wisely left the field to Carmack,
who will have a walkover at the
polls, no matter who may be nomi-
mated against him.-Chattanooga

Tier face was beautiful with perfect
calm,
Peace sealed the brow, and peace the

To wounded hearts her gentle gaze was
balm,
Her words like winds blown softly
from the South.
Her eyes were wells Of luster sweet and
still,
Sometimes you felt they mirrored
You might not read, but only feel the
As if there flashed an angels passing
wings.
And on that face shorne always white
light
A soft TRANSPORTED splendor, till you
thought
only glory fallen from the height
OF heaven itself such lovely marvel
wrought,
Serene she went her way through grief
and strife,
Trouble was not trouble where her
presence came,
She bore about with her a Joy of life,
Love burned within her breast a
fragrant flame.
You heard, while wondering how every
loss
She carried lightly as bird half-lit,
A gracious spirit say, There is no cross
Where no self is to suffer under it.
And you remembered that in ancient
law
BY the broad arrow was the kings
tree known
Through the dark forest, and believed
you saw
The Lords broad arrow mark her as

WHY DO WE WAIT?

Why do we wait till ears are deaf,
Before we speak our kindly word,
And only utter loving praise
When not a whisper can be heard?
WHY do we wait till hands are laid,
Close folded, pulseless, ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare,
And lilies in their flawless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
To light and love in deaths deep
trance
Dear, wistful eves,-before we bend
Above them with imprisoned glance?
oh, let us heed the living friend
Who walks with US life's common
ways,
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for a word of praise!
