Where lilies waved in welcome, with vio-

For birds and fluffy feathers-all the dno

Fer ! know that fashion changes-that It
rules the world complete:
But the old-time Easter bonnet was 80
simple and so sweet!
Its ribbons matched the color Of the blue
sky overhead,
An the lips that smiled beneath It seemed
to mean the words they said!
The lips that smiled SO sweetly-never
KNOWN any art
An the eyes whose sunny glances made q
light around your heart!
I've nothin' 'gainst the fashions-they've
got to have their day;
But l love the simple bonnets Of the far

An thinkin' how she looked in 'em-there,

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.
1t may be q question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Cbamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrh9a Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years n have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de-
pending implicitly Oh any medicine for
a cure. but We do believe that il a bot
:la Of Chamberlsin's Diarrhoa Remedy
we're kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in many
cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by druggist.

Loss of Lite by Lightning.

Five hundred ard sixty-two persons
were killed by lightning in the United
States in 1899, and $50 were more or
less injured. In the great majority OF
cases death came quickly. In one case
a spar Of horses attached to a wagon
was killed, and a man in the rear OF
the wagon killed while the driver in
front was not seriously hurt. Other
cases OF similar nature confirm the be-
lief that not one but a number of dis
charges may pass from cloud to earth

there may be small areas of safety.
Of above fatalities As per Eel oc-
Cured in the open; the next greatest
number, "a per cent. occurred in
houses; IL per cent. occurred under
trees, and 9 per cent. in barns.
At least a dozen persons, mostly
women, were killed either in the act Of
taking clothes from a wire clothes line
Or by getting close to n in a thunder
storm. A wire clothes line joining a
ear tree and the corner of a house is
a source of danger. IL wire is used it
should not under any circumstances be

Mary j. Lashley was born Oct. 5.
1876, and died June 26, 1900, aged %
years, s months and % days.
In 1894 she joined the NJ. E. Church,
South, and remained a member of that
church until her death. About five
months ago she was taken i'll, and the
remainder of her life she was an in
tense sufferer from a diseased hip
joint; still she wac willing to suffer
for Him who suffered sc much for US,
believing that her light affection,
which was but for a moment, worked
for her a far more exceeding and eter.
nal weight of glory.
Her remains were inferred in the
Des Arc cemetery to await the sound
of the trumpet, when she will go away
into the rest prepared for all his chill
dren.
Blessed are the dead which die il
the Lord from henceforth.
She is not dead-the child of our affection,
But gone into that school
Where she no longer needs our poor pro-
And Christ himself doth rule.

JACKSON CGSh-BoOk: The Cash
Books recent warnings to Democrats
not to entrust men with important del
egste commissions who were not in
sympathy with the Chicago platform
in 1896 will not be considered as an
effort to read anybody out of the party
or t shut the door in the face of the
returning prodigal. Our meaning may
be illustrated in the following manner;
An old-time marksman had two guns,
one a s%mall-bore good for squirrels,
and the other an old dint-lock true to
the center at 60 yards behind a chunk.
When he wanted beef he picked up
old fint-lock. Why? Because he
knew it would not fail him, was true
to the center and would bring beef.
So it is. We need to send men to
our con ventions these days who are
true to the mark like old fint-lock.
