The destruction of the Metho-
dist Church in the recent disastrous
fire leaves that denomination at pres
ent without a church of their own,
though other denominations have
been very kind in rendering the use
of their buildings. Hardly had the
destruction been completed when
books were opened for subscriptions
for the erection of another building
on the old lot, and at last accounts
the handsome sum of nearly $40, 900
had been subscribed, two parties
giving a thousand dollars each, and
several others FIVE hundred Browns

Mr.. Garrison Patrick, of the
i4th district, was a pleasant visitor
at the BULLETIN office Monday. Mr..
Patrick informs US that he made an
immense crop of both corn and cot
ton this year, more of the latter
than he will be able to gather. He
has had picked between forty and
fifty bales already none of which he
has sold, and at least a third of his
crop is still in the field. Mr.. Pat
rick is one of the most successful
farmers in Hardeman County. He
always has an abundance of every
thing around him and lives like a
prince, as every one who has had
the pleasure of partaking of his hos
pitality viii! testify. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is 70 years of
age, he is full of vim and energy.

The forest floor on the sunny side
of hills, ridges, clumps of trees,
bushes, big rocks, etc, is more noisy
under the football than on the
northern side of such places, where
the dead leaves and litter are soft
and damp, holding more moisture
than in places exposed to the light
Of the sun.
In an open country nearly void of
timber clumps of small bushes dur
ing summer will furnish all the con-
ditions found to exist among the
leaves Of the trees, being equally
sensitive to light and shade as are
the monarchs of the woods. The
landscape, green with moving
grasses and beautiful to the eye,
which feasts on the countless num-
bers of wild flowers, representing
every form and hue known in the
flowery kingdom, also furnishes
reliable guide for locating the cardi-
nal points, as most wild flowers, es-
pecially the long stemmed varieties,
hide their faces from the north and,
like the sunfower, turn toward
southern sky:-Fo1est and Stream.

The committee to assist clerks in OK.

NATURES COMPASS SIGNS.

How It II That the Woodman Is Ab1o to
:: Always Tell Directions.
The many different methods to
determine the cardinal points while
on the mountains, in both heavy
timber and small bush, or upon the
featureless expanse of a great marsh
are exceedingly numerous and reli-
able. enough for all practical pur-
poses during an everyday life in the
bush unless a very long journey is
to be made, which would require a
number of days and would make it
necessary ito hold on a very fine
point while making go long a dis
tance.
We will first take notes on the
coniferous trees-pines, frs, spruce,
cedars, hemlocks, etc. The bark OF
these is always lighter in color,
harder and drier on the south side
of the tree, while it is in color much
darker, is also damper and often
covered with mold and moss on the
north side. The gum that oozes out
from the wounds, knotholes, etc., is
usually hard and often of beautiful
amber color on the south side, while
on the northern side it remains
sticky longer and gets covered with
insects and dirt, seldom drying out
to more than dirty gray in color.
In large trees that have rough
bark, especially during the fall and
winter months, the nests and webs
of insects, spiders, ETC., will always
be found in the crevices on the south
side. A preponderance Of the large
branches will also be found on the
warmest or southern side of the
trees. Also, the needles of all the
above mentioned trees are shorter,
drier and of a yellowish green on
the southern side, while they will
be found longer, more slender and
pliable, damper to the touch and
darker green in color on the north
side. The cedars and hemlocks, as
if trying to Guido the others, al
ways bend their slender tops of new
growth toward a southern sky.
The hard wood trees are equally
communicative and have all the
characteristics, as far as regards
their trunks, as the coniferous trees
except the absence Of gums, but
this is more than made up by the
fungous growth of mold and moses
that is very noticeable on the north
side of these trees.
The edges of rocks, (which may be
part fof stupendous mountains or
merely occasional cropping out here
and there in the woods, or perhaps
some great bowlder alone by itself,
a silent witness of the glacial pc
Rod, all alike testify to the effect Of
light and shade. The sunny side
will usually be bare, or at most
boast of thin growth of harsh, dry
kinds of MOSES that will only grow
when having the light, while the
northern side will be found damp
and moldy and often covered with
luxuriant growth of soft, damn
moses that love the.shade, while
every crevdce WiINbear aloft beauti

DEAR FRIEND Today is. Sun.
day which makes our ninth day in the
state of Georgia, having arrived here a
week ago last Friday. The trip from
the North to South was grand one. I
shall never forget the ovations rendered
us by tens of thousands all along the
line. We came in sleeping cars but got
scarcely any sleep, SO anxious were the
people to see the soldier boys. They
would rap at the car windows and
wake us up. r.- ..,
Between St. Paul and Chicago two
bushel baskets Of souvenirs were given
the boys. in shape Of handkerchief,
hat pins, ribbons, badges and belts.
This is for Co. G alone. You will have
a chance to see the collection as Ca
Resche has sent them to Duluth to be
placed on exhibition. r
Chickamauga Park is a beautiful
place covering 5000 acres, and is filed
with many points Of interest. Monu-
ments and cannons are in abundance,
telling when each battle took place.
Water is very scarce yet and the first
two days we were here it cost us 10
cents to fill our canteens. Oh, how, l
miss Lake Superior and the fog horn.
Chickamauga is located ten miles from
Chattanooga, Tenn, is very slow
place, not much life.
The weather is very hot and naturally
very uncomfortable for the Northern
boys, yet none of our boys have been
affected by heat.
Missionary Ridge and Lookout Noun
tain are close by where those famous
battles were fought. The day after we
arrived here was to the top of Lookout
Mountain and picked some flowers that
grew on the spot where Gen. Joe Hooker
lay in wait for the Confederates. I
eont them to - lam 90
ing over again soon and will get some
for you. I have received one letter
from since 1 arrived here. 1 am

for all the kindnesses shown me, hoping
God will keep you, and extending to you

RIGHT AND WRONG.


Alas how easily things go wrong;
4 sigh too much, or kiss too long!
And there follows mist weeping rain.
And life is never the same again.
Alas how hardly things go right
IT'S hard to watch in the summers night
For the sigh will come. and the kiss will stay,
And the summers night is a winters day.
And yet how easily things go right
II the sigh and the kiss OF the winters nlcht
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray.
That is born in the light Of the winters day!
And things can never go badly wrong
If the love be true and the heart be strong
For the mist, il it comes, and the weeping rain.
Will be changed by love into sunshine again.

thin man, dressed severely in black,
