GRACE AT MEALS.

The Arkansas Gazette in 8 recent editorial on Grace at Meals" says it's observance is on the decline which is very much to be regretted, The following is a part of the article referred to which we endorse:
 There is an admission that this reve1ential and time honor ed custom is much on the decline in many sections of the country, particularly where the spirit of commercialis1n has grown to as cendancy.
 This dacadence is more appar- ent in urban than rural life it is claimed.
 This decline in stated and for mal recognition of divine bles- sings is greatly to be deprecat- ed, and even deplored, for many reasons too obyious to the think ing mind of need elaboration.
 Grace before meals is shot prayer of thanks to the great Giver of all good gifts, for the food furnished and comforts gathered about the family board and hearthstone. It is a recog- milton of that power through which all human blessings must come. "
 "tThe traveller in a strange country, stopping at lonely house for a nights lodging, will have every fear of safety remoV- ed when he gathers with the family at the meal table and hears the blessings of God invok, cd before partaking of the food Tine observance itself is guar antee that fife and property arc secure under that roof, though all are utter strangers.
 This old and delightful custom should not decline; there are toC many witnesses to the benefits too many to testify to the gooc effects that find Judgment in the young hearts who are taught tt recognize and venerate the grea Father above every day. It may

be that the race for money and social position only have caused this decadence, but it ought not to be the case. "
SHULTZ SERMONS.

One of the prettiest Church Weddings that has occurred in Brinkley for q long time, was that which took place at the M. E. Church, South, on Tuesday night, Sept. 10th, 1901, at which Mir. Tim Shults and Miss Nettie Simmons were united in mar riage Rev. T. J. Brickell, pro nouncing the mystic words which united them for life.
 The Church was tastefully decorated with flowers and ever greens, of which an arch was formed in front of the .chancel rail, under which the contracting parties stood while the ceremony was pronounced.
 James Woodfn and Robert Lanford were ushers, Dr. Ed Mcknight best man, and Miss Emma hzelle, of Pine Bluff, brides maid, Miss Ida Lawns bery, presided at the organ.
 Both MT. Shults and Miss Simmons are well known, and universally liked by the people of our city, they having been raised here, and will make their home here in the future. The Citizen joins their many friends in wish ing them all the happiness possi- ble.- Monroe County Citizen.

UNcALLED-F FOR CRITICISM.

Why is it that when a man has made a success at his chosen pro- fession and is at,the head of af- fairs in his county or state as the case may oe, he becomes the mark of attact for every lying lousey loose-tounged loafer, every dark dirty dammable double faced ink singing driveler.
 From the above article one would naturally come to the con- clusion that the writer or his most intimate friend has been badly mistreated. The way he slings those adjectives or invec- tives out upon the terrible man whom he undoubtedly means to consume by his tirade we believe that Webster has been closely studied of late. But there is quite a little truth in the article above, which is taken from the Augusta Free Press of last week. There are two kinds of people in the world Those who would and those who would not.

alright but they have been in Augusta so long that they have caught the disease the town has a reputation of bearing. What the boys need is life. The base ball timber is just as good as any but they don't know how to use it. If the Augusta boys will come over to McCrory and live in our progressive atmosphere for a short time we will guaran- tee to make base ball magnates out of everyone of them that are not already too far gone. What is surprising to us is, that the Vidette holds up for Augusta and wants people to believe that it is the only town on the map when 1t bears Che record of being the opposite, and then goes up in balloon" after her boys be- cause they can't defeat every thing that comes along. Oh, consistency, thou art a bird, rara avis. The following article shows the attitude of the Vidette to her base ballists:
 The base ball aggregation from Howell, piloted by Captain Kelley, proceeded to take our team in camp to the tune of 19 to 2. Hatcher, ably assisted by Jim Stewart behind the bat, made the ball look so small and croohed that our boys who are used to playing fair, "and throw ing a full sized" ball right over the plate, were unable to connect With it, and seldom saw first base. They seemed to think the rules have been amended and only requil cd them to ma6s 05ae 4-sase. t3iitfe, 44sl s8 {D crowd pres ent were highly entertained, and a purse (amount not named) was made up and handed to Hamilton in token of their appreciation of 8 three bagger knocked by him at 8 critical point in the game, Otey, of local fame, did the zig gag work for Augusta, ably as sisted by Angus, a new citizen here. MT. Nipple, who ably held first base for Augusta, deserves special mention for his fine work accepting every chance offer ed, without an error. The um- pire-Mr. Eldridge performed his part of the work satisfactory, bud had DO support. The 6J0Dee seems to center on the scorer, who failed to credit Augusta with but 2 scores, Augusta ends the seasons playing with this game, and can claim to have held her own remarkably well. She started the season by losing at McCrory and wound up by los ing at home. Manager Black man thinks they will open next season with Selma.

LAMENT OF A LITTLE GIRL.

My brother Will, he used to be the incest kind of girl; he wore little dress like me, and had his hair in curl. We played with dolls and tea sets then, and every kind of toy; but all those good old times are gone-Will turned into boy.
 Mamma made him little suits, with pockets in his pants, and cut off all his yellow curls and sent them to his aunts; and Will, he was so pleased, 1 believe he almost jumped with joy, and l must own 1 didn't like Will turn ed into a boy.
 Now he plays with horrid tops that I don't know how to spin, and marbles that try to shoot, but never hit nor win; and leap frog T can't give 8 back like Charlie, Frank and Roy; oh, nc one knows how bad l feel since Will has turned boy.
 I have to wear frocks just the same, and now they are mostly white; have to sit and just be good while Will can climb and fight, but I must keep my dress es nice and wear my hair in curl and worst -oh, wortest thing ot all have to stay a girl"

EVOLUTION OF RICH MEN

''The self-made man is usually a bird and we all know him from a way back. He played marbles for keeps when a boy and cheat ed his playmates out of marbles. He swapped Q bladeless knife for a four blader, sold it for 50 cents, bought pound of sugar and made barrel of lemonade, which he sold for $8. He then started out in business and sold tough meat for choice cuts and made a fortune. When he got $1 ,O0O he organized a stock company with $5, 100000 capital, mostly water ed, and sold the stock at par. When the company failed it was found that he had sold out a long time before. When he died he was a millionaire and left his money here. It is very warm where he is now"

A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea.
 Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa. T was taken sud denly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. 1 made the trip successfully and never felt any i'll effect.

Three Bright Planets Which Are Visible
During The Evenings.

Three Bright Planets Which Are Visible
During The Evenings.
Three bright planets are now visible in
the evening sky-Venus, Jupiter and Sa-
turn. Venus may be seen very low in
the west from thirty minutes TO an hour
after sunset, and somewhat to the south
OF the sunset point.
There is no star comparable to the
planet in the neighborhood. so that no
mistake can be made. Venus very slowly
draws awav from the sun and increases
in brilliancy all the late summer and au-
tumn months She is, however, moving
south along the ecliptic, and the best
views will be obtained on the other side
of the equator.
Venus is now in the constellation OF
Leo. She will be in conjunction with the
crescent moon on the evening OF August
10th, and the two will make a beautiful
picture in the deepening twilight. Jupiter
and Saturn are high IN the southeast al
sunset during August. The former is
farther west and much brighter. Saturn
is a trihe higher in the sky than his neigh
Dor. Both may be distinguished from
the stars by their steady light.
Contrast them with the twinkling bril-.
lancy OF the red Antares. still farther
west than Jupiter. The moon passes the
two planets on the evenings of August
z4th and 25th. Venus, Jupiter and Sa.
turn will all be in the same neighbor.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervaiing days. when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as il the Day OF ire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads US to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety Of call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic,-say, sustain
ing diet. II makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time OF year.
