ed and was slowly lifted. They saw Him rising and removing from them. An unearthly glory was revealed In Him. And they instncttvely feh down to worship, tverse eO the old conception of His divinity, having returned eo their minds. Shortly a cloud receVed Him out of their sight" Acts i, 9. For a time, wondering and bewildered, they looked steadfastly toward heaven as if expecting to catch some further glimpse of His glorious form. But presently two angels in the form of men appeared and said: "why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go" (Kcts 1, 11). This. promise not yet fulfilled. was in full harmony with many of the Masters words. (John xiv, 3.
 Rcturned.-A new chapter in apos- tolic history was opened that day. That last appearance of Jesus. His closing words of tender. love, His departure through the opened sky, the words of heavenly visitors, so full of comfort, all this tended to revive their hearts and make them feel that the cause in which they were enlisted was not lost. They returned to Jerusalem, found the upper room made sacred by blessed associations. and there engaged in prayer. Acts. i, 13.) They deter mined to wait until the Masters prom ised power was bestowed. They were in no danger of turning again to sec- ular pursuits. (John. xxi. 3.) Their new-found faith and hope bound them together in a compact and loyal broth erhood. Sometimes they went forth in to the temple, but returned to their upper-room sanctuary. And always with glad hearts they were "praising and blessing God" (verse 63) The foundations of the New Testament Church were securely laid. (Eph., il, 20.) Nothing more is needed but power.
 Conclusion. :.
 Special. How slow were the follow CTS of Jesus to understand Him and His causel How unlikely that such men could afterward propagate fables, con- struct fictitious character, and then proclaim Him to the world! How re- luctantly they yielded to the truth! How stupidly and tenaciously they held to preconceived opinions! How the person of Jesus arose immeasur- ably above all His associates. sublime in it's matchless beauty, in its complete unity. in it unique consistency! Surely. these gospels arc truthful representa- tions of Him.
 General. .-'Between us and His visi- ble presence that cloud still rolls. But the eye of faith can pierce it and be- hold the glori1ed Redeemer who now sitteth at the right hand of God. The incense of prayer can rise above it. through 1t His blessing can descend. And if He is gone away, yet He has given in His Holy Spirit a nearer sense of His presence, a closer unfolding in the arms of His tenderness, than we

The Bravest are the Tenderest.


 Louisville Courier Journal.
 The funeral of Maurice Thompson, the naturalist and author, at Craw- fordsville, Ind. was characterized by knightly incident. The dead man was a Confederate soldier. and though he did not die among the comrades honors were paid his memory. Me Pherson Post, G. A. R., of Crawfords- vile. turned out in uniform and es- the grave, with all the mourning cere- monies of their organization. the same as though he had been one of their members.
 This incident fortunately is one of many that are constantly occurring to demonstrate the complete reunion of the country. The passions aroused by the civil war have been subsiding for third of century, and every now and then there comes out such flash of feeling as this, which reconciles us to all that has gone before; 1t such a demontration of the divinity that awaits deep in our poor humanity, but ready for the supreme moment for the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. The part that Cap tain Talbot and his comrades of the Grand Army have played in this de- monstration that the wounds of the war have healed will be greatly appre- ciated in the South, from which Mau- rice Thompson came and for which he bravely fought.
 The bravest are the tenderest,
 The loving are the daring"

 The Anniston Gold Mining Company filed in the probate office, at this place last Thursday a deed to 320 acres of land.
 It Is no uncommon thing for lands to change hands and the deeds to be filed for record. This is business, and all business men strictly observe such rules.
 However. this was no ordinary trans action but it is an -eye=nnener and is the beginning of a wonderful develop ment of our hidden wealth.
 When the above gold bearing dirt changed hands $16o,000 cnanged with. it. and active operations will soon be commenced to convert the yellow met al into shining eagles.
 Lawyer Shackelford spent the day here preparing an abstract, which runs back something over a half century when the first deed was recorded.
 The Preuitt Mine is being run day and night with the most gratifying re- suits. So great is the output that the men can hardly take time to eat and sleep. Glowing reports come from the Pine Tucket Mine, where modern machinery Is being introduced and soon the hum of industry will resound throughout that long silent mineral belt. Other mines at various places are be- | ing successfully worked with spade and pick, to enumerate which would consume more space than we can well spare this week. Only one-the White Thrasher-so far as we have been able to ascertain, has closed down.
 The Sloss Iron and Steel Company through agents, are looking over the | field with the view of investing half million in our mineral lands. Bro. J. s. Thrasher displayed in our office one day last week, a nice mug get of the yellow metal amalgamated from a few pannings at the White Thrasher mine. He informed us that the quartz Is not so large. but carry ing more gold as it increases in depth. It Is easy milling ore, and the deepest shaft is only about 45 feet.
 We extend all good people every where a welcome to come and help de- velop our resources-to invest in our dirt and share in our riches, which does not consist altogether of gold. but of something that is believed to be equal ly as good if not better. The discovery of which we do not feel at liberty to | mention just at this time.

 The Germans are trying to estab- fish cotton growing in their west coast colonies. Cotton growing also has been introduced in the French West African colonies. The district in British West Africa, in which it is proposed to make the special cotton growing ex- pertinent. is Lagos. Quite recently, a sample of cotton went to Liverpool from Lagos, and was pronounced good. It is proposed to make experiments under British auspices in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Hhe Experiment to Be Tried Again. xsa-icago Tribune Washington Special
 An cnterprising Liverpool firm of shipowners Is arranging to send six American cotton growing experts to the west coast of Africa to institute experiments in the growing of cotton 2n that region. In the early sos cotton growing was started on the west coast of Afrlca, the incentive being the op- portuniGy afforded by the disorganiza- aian of the civil war. The experiment cannot be considered to have been a success.
 Liverpool received nearly all the oct Bon exported from West Africa. 1n A8eA 1.710s bales were received there. The largest number of bales received since then wasiin 1889, when 19, Se0 bales went fe Liverpool. Since that date the fig- ares have fluotuated. showing a tend ency, however. to a steady decrease. Tn 1897. just one solitary bale was de- aivered. and since then a few hundred bales have been reported annually.

 Now, of course. there is a difference between . phonogTaph proposal and any other kind, and when he began his preparations it'Aeeame apparent te him that, hs would have to get up souae- thing sttSinai. Any message that the told himself, # would be we'll to put it in verse. He had given some atten- ton to versifying and felt reasonably certain, that he ought to be able to do the, subject sufficient justice to answer his purpose. So he prepared a rhymed proposal, and when completed it was of this fervid nature: ."Ive come before. as now, fair one.
 To boldly claim . prize. But courage failed e'er I'd begun
 quailed before your eyes. "Now take the homage most sincere
 That at ysur feet lay; Accept the heart, 'twixt hope and fear.
 That's beating here today! My fondest, fairest dream of life
 A dream of bliss divine Is that I'll win you for wife:
 Oh, say you will be mine!"
 He practiced this until he could say 1t with a really soulful infection, and then he loaded 1t into the machine. He was satisfied, to use his expressive phrase, that ''it was a winner" All that he would have to do would be to give her 8 heart hungry look. and get ready to take her to his arms. But somehow the plan didn't work quite as he had expected. She looked pretty and expectant when he arrived, and, as he put the prepared cylinder down on the table beside some others, he told her impressively that 1t represented something that she ought to know. something that he was anxious thAt she should know, but that he had found it impossible to tell her. Then, when evarything was in readiness. he got as close to her as he dared and
 ''sirl' she cyed almost immediately ''how dare you!'
 He was so startled that he nearly fell from his chair.
 "Is this your confession?" she de- manded.
 "Y-yes." he replied faintly. Don't you like it?''
 Like itr' she cried. "Are you ab- solutely shameless, sir?'
 Shameless" he repeated. Shame less! Why-why. what do you mean I-I-Hang 1t ally' with the energy of desperation, whats the blamed thing saying?"
 He hastily grabbed the little ear- pieces, andsh heard this finish to what was evidently rollicking song:
 ooh. fall in leve with the girls, my boy As oft as ever you may.
 But if you would be light-hearted and free.
 Be sure yeu run away. Chorus:
 Though sweet and sincere Doth woman appear, Deception with her is an art, So bask in her smile. If you think it worth while,
 But don't let her get to your heart." He sank back in his chair weakly.
