A Word to Boys.

If yon have anything to do, do it
at once. Don't sit down in the
rocking chair and loose three
quarters of an hour in dreadng the
job. BE snre that it will seem ten
times harder than it did at first.
Keep this motto BE in time on
small things as well as great. The
boy who is behind time at breakfast
and school, will be sure to get left
IN the important things of life.
If you have a chronic habit of
drcading and putting off things,
make great effort to cure yourself.
Brace up? Make up your mind
that you will have some backbone.
Don't be limp, iellyfsh kind of a
person.
Depend upon it that life is very
much as you make it. The first
thing to decide is, What are you
going to make itp
The next thing is to take off your
coat and 60 to work. Make your
sell necessary somewhere. There
are thousands of boys and young
men who wouldn't be missed if they
would drop out to. morrow.
Don't be one of this sort.
l}c power in your own little
world; and then, depend upon it,
the big world will near from you.-

A TRAGIC DEATH.
Mrs. Cornella Thompson Burned TO Death in
the Recent Fire at Jacksonville.

Telegraphic reports from Jackson
vile, Fla, gave among the list of
those who were burned in the de-
structive fire in that city, the name
OF Mrs. Cornela Thompson, the
widow Of the late Gen. Waddy
Thompson. The report says that
Mrs. Thompson's bones were found
in the ruins of the Old Ladies'
Home.
This news was a shock to the
older citizens of Grcenville who
knew Mrs. Thompson so well.
Years ago she was well known in
this section of the State and was
loved and admired by all who knew
her for her many admirable traits of
character and her gentle and pleas
ant disposition. Mrs. Thompson
was Miss Jones, of Wilmington,
N. G. Her father, Col. David Jones,
is buried in the cemetery of Christ
church, this city.
Mrs. Thompson was a member Of
Christ church, and during her resi-
dence in this city she was an earnest
and conscientious church worker.
She was between 70 and 80 years
old.
Mr.. and Mrs, Thompson lived for
number of years on Paris noun
tain at what is familiarly known as
the "Thompson place" Gen. Thomp-
son, however, owned plantation in
Florida, and shortly after the war he
moved his family to Madison, Fla.
Gen. Thompson's death occurred
while he was resident Of that city.
Mrs. Thompson then moved to
Jacksonville, where her son, Preston
Thompson, was engaged in business
mat was about twenty years ago
and she was living with her son at
the time of her death.
Gen. Thompson was one of the
most prominent men of the South
during his time. He was a member
of Congress and also Minister 10
Mexico. Mrs Thompson was con
nected with Mrs. S. A. Townes, Miss
Lilly Thompson and Misses Emmic
and Lizzie Jones of this city. She
was we'll known by the older ci,i
zens of the Piedmont section, who
will be griovcd to hear of her tragic
death.-Grccnyillc News.

Sheep on the Farm.

OF all domestic animals sheep arc
the greatest fertilizers, the best
scavangers and the easiest kept with
the least expense of any live stock
on the farm, says w. Watson in
Wool Markets and Sheep. My own
experience has taught me that they
arc not only the farmers relief from
hard work, but that they will pay for
all tho care and all the feed that is
given them in the way of manure.
There can be found on almost
every farm in the land some rough
and hilly ground that is not produc-
ing as it should, and all that land
could in short time he made as
valuable as the rest by the pasturing
and feeding of a few sheep thereon,
for they will seek the highest points,
and there they will scatter their
manure better and cvcner than can
be done in any other way. 1t is my
opinion that farm can maintain
flock of sheep, say one sheep to
every two acres, at comparatively no
cost whatever, and they will bring
him from So to SIS per head each
year, so that on every farm of 100
acres so sheep can be kept, and they
will pay in manure for every bit of
feed and all the care, and the farmer
is ahead from $3.50 to 5000 each
year.
believe the worst trouble cxperi-
enccd by many shepherds is the
feeding of corn to their sheep. Corn
should never be feed to breeding
sheep under any circumstances.
The best and cheapest feed is bran
and oats mixed equal parts with
good clover hay or corn fodder.
Good shelter from storms should not
he neglected. They must also have
good water to drink, for that is az
necessary as feed.

WHAT IS NEWEST.

Dresses Of sheer linen lawn and Of silk
ecru batiste will form part of very smart
summer outfits. They will be made up with
out lining, to wear over a silk or sateen slip,
or else they will have a silk lining through
out of deep rose, golden yellow, or mauve.
Some of the Notwithstanding waists hook
at the back, and have dropping fronts
trimmed with very fine insertions Of Valen-
clennes or Of embroidered nainsook edged
with very narrow ecru lace.
Guipure laces, nets, bands. edgings, ap-
| pliques. etc, will be the rage next season
for decorating light and dainty gowns of In
dia null. organdie, mercerized Swiss goods.
| barege, linen lawn. batiste and similar hot
| weather fabrics. A French designer of note
t>has thus far used gutpure exclusively in
making up the prettiest of his advance
models. and one of these is of pale blue
merceriZed batiste made up over a paler
blue taffeta silk slip. A band Of guipure is
set around the edge OF the skirt, bordered
on each side with n tiny ruche of the ba-
tiste. Medallions of guipure show down the
entire length Of the front breadth. and the
same Sarniture extends up the front of the
bodice. The guipure is of white India null.
ard the bell sleeves have guipure revers
above gathered India null undersleeves, fin
ished with straight guipure bands.
The newest coiffures display the graceful
and becoming Pompadour puffs at front
and sides. softened by just two or three
light curls on the forehead and an arrange
ment Of loose coils at the back. often fall
ing quite to the nape of the neck, and end
ing in a pretty dropping curl.
This style, of course. is only suitable for
an evening couture. and most women con-
tinue to wear their hair dressed high in the
daytime. Big jewelled butterflies. worn
towards the front, a little to the left side,
are fashionable hair for evening
wear. and flowers, either large single bios
SONS or clusters of small ones. are worn
in the same position; while similar flowers
are usually worn on the corsage, secured
with a big knot of tulle with long dropping
ends.
The turquoise craze seems nearly over,
land emeralds. rubies, and sapphires are
prominent among colored jewels; but pearls
are more fashionable than ever, especially
the rare black pearls, and diamonds are
seen in many quaint settings. One gorgeous
necklace resembles a rope Of big beautiful
stones, tied in what looks like a careless
knot in front, from which depend several
irregular ends, almost like the travelled ends
of a rope. only that rope and ends alike
are composed Of diamonds.
Among lesser jewelry items. the
"Aiglon' brooches, bearing a medallion
portrait of Sarah Bernhard as the Inflated
young Duo de Reichstadt, are absolutely
the rage; every one Is wearing them, writes
