A little child went with her father, a
sea captain, to sea, and when the first
storm came the little child was very
much frightened and in the night
rushed out of the cabin and said,
Where is father. where is father?"
Then they told her. Father is on
deck, guiding the vessel and watching
the storm" The little child imme-
diately returned to her berth and said,
ITS all right, for fathers on deck!"
Oh. We who are tossed and driven in
this world, up by the mountains and
down by the valleys, and at your wits
end, l want you to know the Lord God
is guiding the ship. Your Father is on
deck. He will bring you through the
darkness into the harbor. Trust In the
Lord. Go and tell Jesus.

On the Upward Path.

If you go to him for pardon and
sympathy, all is we'll. Everything
will brighten up, and Joy will come to
the heart and sorrow will depart; your
sins will be forgiven and your foot
will touch the upward path, and the
shining messengers that report above
what is done here will tell it until the
great arches of God resound with the
glad tidings, if now, with contrition
and full trustfulness Of soul, you will
only go and tell Jesus.
But | am oppressed as l think of
those who may not take this counsel
and may remain unblessed. / cannot
help asking what will be the destiny
of these people? Xerxes looked off on
his army. There were 100000 men
perhaps the finest army ever marshall
ed. Xerxes rode along the lines, re-
viewed them, came back, stood on
some high point, looked off upon the
that moment, when every one sup
posed he would be in the greatest exul-
tation, he broke down in grief. They
asked him why he wept All" he
said, 81 weep at the thought so soon

mortal men and women and realize the
fact that soon the places which know
them now will know them no more,
and they will be gone-whither?
whittier? There Is a stirring idea
which the poet put in very peculiar
verse when he said:
:" IT'S not for man to trifle; life is
brief,
And sin is here;
Our age is but the falling of a leaf,
A dropping tear.
Not many lives. but only one have

One, only one;
How sacred should that one life ever
be
That narrow span!"

In a little western town, originally
settled by Quakers, stands a church in
which che practice of seating men and
women apart still prevails. A few
years ago a newcomer mustered cou-
rage to cross the aisle and sit beside
his bride. The second Sunday another
man committed the same offence, and
the third Sunday saw a generous
sprinkling of barred heads alongside
spring bonnets. The aged minister,
with outraged sense of propriety,
chose for his text: Let destruction
come upon him at unawares; and let
his net that he hath hid catch him
self" and minced no words in exposi-
ton. The men who had dared to stray
from established custom rebelled at
being etcrnally doomed for sitting be-
side their wives, and left the church in
% body. The result is that today in
that little town stands two church
buildings, side by side, counterparts in
size and paint and outlook; but in one
the sexes are divided by a middle
isle. while in the other ''promiscuous
sitting" prevails. The trivialities
which hinder Christian comfy may
travel far for an apter illustration.
Fire insurance experts report that
the last year has been one of great fire
losses. They think the moral haz-
ard" as the risk of people burning
their own property to get the lnsur-
ance money is called, was probably
smaller than usual on account OF the
good times. When buildings are pref
ty well occupied there is less tempta-
ton to commit the offense than in a
period OF stagnation. Just now, cleo
tricity comes in for a good share OF
the blame for fires. AS a cause, 1t
operates for the most part out OF sight,
behind walls and under floors. " u

highest authority for stating that
the dowager empress has ordered
the Tsung Lii Yamen to face all
Europe rather than to interfere
with the tboxer" movement.
Elsewhere it is asserted that

are designed to prevent further

Mr. Editor:-This section has
been visited with fine showers of
rain during the last three days
though not full season yet, but
indications at this time are good
for more. Farmers, l believe,
are well up with their work and
crops are looking fairly well.
Wheat harvest has commenced and
promises fair crop, though
there was but little lanted in this
section. 1 think some of our
farmers are beginning to realize
their mistake too.
The health of our community is
not very good. Several families
have more or less sickness. Mrs
R II Halle has been very sick but
is slightly improved at this writ
ing. Three of MIR j l. Bells

Roby has been confined to his bed
about four weeks, George and

understand there is no improves
ment IN their condition. Nav

restoration of their health.

, Strange Condition of Affairs.

Except on the ground of poiiti-
cal timidity we are unable to un.
derstand why neither editors nor
politicians, legislators nor con-
gressnen are making any effort
to suppress the mob violence of
the labor unions.
Their organization is menace
to the peace and prosperity of the
country. When mobs or outlaws
are laying violent hands on the
property and persons of the
citizen, we see editors, politicians,
congressman, and simlin headed
idiots talking about trusts.
No attention is being paid to
the destroyers of property, or to
those who MAIN and kill laboring
men.
Republicans and Democrats are
loud in their protestatious of
hatred for the trusts, but the ag-
gregation of public enemies under
the firm name of labor union, re-
ceives no attention.
They stop street cars, shoot
laborers, destroy property, disturb
business of all kinds, while they
themselves voluntarily go into
idleness, or form an organization
to make respectable aud law -abid :
ing citizens stand and deliver to
them not only their money, but
the control of their business.
Person and property interests
have rights which even outlaws
and mobs should be made to re
spect.
Is not the cry of "trusts, -
about like the cry of tstop thief9''

Small streams overfowed their
banks and washed up the crops
along them, many say it vas the

The damage to land and crops is
considerable and it will require a

pair the damages.
The small grain crop is being
harvested and is considered very
good-much above our average

Closing Exercises of The Oak
hurst High School.

Mr. EdltOr:-It is not our in.
tention to fill your paper with
wind, so to. speak, but to say q
few 'slacere words in regard to
this enjoyable occasiou-the clos
ing exercises of the Oakhurst
high School, June 4.
School having closed Friday,
June 1, and as the pupils we're
kept busy standing the final ex-
aminatious, the entertainment was
put off until Monday night June
4.
The exercises were carried .out
almost perfectly by the children.
They as well as the teachers de-
serve great praise for their being
so we'll pi piepared, To have been
present at the entertainment was
to get an idea of the thorough~
ness of the school work. The
public exercises show that there
has been great efforts put forth by
both teachers and pupils. A
great deal of time and labor spent.
The school building was taste-
fully decorated. 1t was quite a
treat to see SO great a number of
bright faced boys and girls to-
gether.
just a word in regard to the
teachers. With Prof w G. Bynum
as Principal and Miss Emma
Mcllwain as assistant, we can .ac-
count for its being one of the
most successful terms on her
school record. Prof Bynum is a
very enthusiastic young tea cher,
thorough IN his work, kind and
gentlemanly in his dealings with
his pupils. He will no doubt
meet with great success in his
we'll chosen profession
We feel that Miss McIlwain
needs no public compliments as
she is known all over the county
as a thorough and painstaking
teacher. Her work is always
commendable.

in nse on this occasion.
