The tendency of modern civilization
is to destroy individuality; and the only
sure refuge for individuality is in the
gospel. Without individuality there
could be no faith; and without faith,
there could be no gospel.

The Frances e. Willard memorial
services at the NJ. E. Church, Sunday
evening, were attended by an audience
that filled the auditorium, making it
necessary to fill the aisles with chairs.
The exercises were varied and very
interesting. Addresses on Miss Will
lard's life and work were given by
Mrs. VIM. Scott, Mrs. A. G. Bennett
and the pastor. Mrs. B. r. Goggins
rendered a temperance recitation very
impressively. The music was excep-
tionally fine. The pulpit drapery and
decorations were very tasty and ap-
propriate.
1t is with pleasure we note the success
of Thomas Mullen, travelling salesman
for Joannes Bros, wholesale grocers
of Green Bay. Tom resides here with
his family and therefore is home nearly
every Sunday. We are informed upon
good authority that he sells over one
half Of all the groceries that come into
Grand Rapids and Centralia. He sup
plies Port Edwards, Nekoosa, Babcock,
baskerville and Pittsville, Wood county
almost wholly, and makes a round trip
of these towns every two weeks by
team. Tom travels for good house, is
a genial and obliging fellow and treats
his customers right, therefore his sue
cess. We commend him to the bust
ness men.

ACQUIRE YOUR BRAVERY.
Al old Soldier Tells How to overcome
Inherent COyvurdtca,

An Old Soldier Tells How to overcome
Inherent COyvardiee,
IT would like 10 let young men know :
said an old soldier, that bravery like
almost any other attribute, can be ac-
quired. 1 would like to let them knew
this, because there are some poor fell
lows who are brought into the world
with a timid nature that causes them
much suffering. While having an adj
miration for brave men, they feel that
they are towards, and, accustoming
themselves to this belief, they never at
tempt to fight against their weakness.
40 you know, / really believe that
most Of the noted brave men Of the
world have become brave simply by
systematically overcoming ~cowardice.
Did not Lannes, Napoleon's most dash
ing general, say; The man who says
he never felt fear is a poltroon and a
liar2 But while Lannes thus acknowl-
edged to the sensation of fear, he never
allowed himself to show ii, and that is
the point. Moreover, by practice such
things become easy. Now, If there is
any young man who is q coward and
wishes to become brave, let me say this
to hims Make up your mind first Of all
that It is much preferable to suffer
death than to be trampled upon or hui
inflated From what you have ex-
perienced you know the disgust, the
suffering acute aud degrading, that re-
suits when you back down in an uuman-
~ fashion.
"Say this, then, / much prefer to die
than to experience such feelings again.
Impress il upon your mind, and then,
as a test to your spirit, force yourself
to face those things that you have been
avoiding from fright. maman has been
overawing you, blufing you, in plain
terms, lay for him deliberately, bluff
him back double, and il he wishes to
fight, throw yourself upon him with a
vim and punch hard; he cannot do more
than kin you; and, as you have made
up your mind thati it is better to die than
to submit 70 humiliation, your death,
as it were, is a thing already pro-
grammed.
And If you whip him the sensation
is very agreeable and frees you from
any further fears Of falling a victim to
cowardice'-N. o. Times-Democrat

Washington, July 1.-General Shaf-

General Shafter over the telephone.
The latter's plans do not contemplate

said to be awaiting the arrival of siege

General Greely said early in the day
that shore connections might be made

Later he was not so certain about 1t,
Delay may be caused by the fact that

The land line is being advanced to Sc

the military telegraph would be work

Some of the best citizens of Macon
were in the crowd that surrounded the
Jail. Rev. j. A. Robbins, Sheriff Glenn
and Mr.. McVicker made speeches,
pleading with the would-be lynchers to
let the law take its course. Robbins
was hooted down and Mr.. Mcyicker
was knocked senseless. The sheriff and
his deputies were overpowered, dis
armed and the Jail broken into. When
the bridge was reached Williams was
asked whether he would rather be
hanged up and strangled slowly or al
lowed sufficient drop to break his neck.
He said he did not care. His nerve was
phenomenal. The mob finished its
work with dispatch and dispersed

probable that the next fleet of trans

The Call says: The steamer Newport
which has sailed with General Merritt

1t carries a large sum of money for the

chase of needed supplies. 1t is said
that the steamer carries from IL 900. 900

to the money necessary for the use of

Protective association of Milwaukee,
500 strong, headed the procession. They
were uniformly dressed, wearing linen
busters, white hats and canes. Bands
of music were interspersed throughout
and the parade made a pronounced hit.
Another leading feature was the march
ing of the four Milwaukee regiments
of infantry just returned from Oshkosh.
Governor Scofeld and staff reviewed
the pageant from the balcony of the
Hotel Pfister. There was a profusion
of carnival colors throughout the line
which lent a pleasing effect.
