The Care of the amps.

The care and cleaning of lamps is a
point that deserves great attention
from every housewife. Besides the
daily care all lamps should be thor
oughly cleaned at least once in three
months; the reservoirs and burners
must be boiled in soda and water; dry
before the fire, and then carefully
brush to free them from all dirt. Tho
cloth used for the daily busting aud
trimming Of the lamps should be re-
newed frequently, and to insure good
ana steady fame the w.cks should
never be cut, but rubbed with soft
paper until all the charrod Part is re-
moved.
When the lamps are not in use the
wick should be kept turned down, ,iS
If this is not done the oil is liable 10
CuZG up between the collar and til"

are put aside altogether the oil SHOULD

and plundered by vandal hands, q city
that was rsz3d by The victor's torch.

same cause for whloh you offered your
lives 40 years ago. But today this vel.
come comes TO you, not from q city of
devastation and desulation, but from
one that is alive and growing; q city
that is full of energy, ambitioa aud en-
thusiasm. Its lovely residence streets
are lined with the houses of enterpris
ing citizens; it's business streets arc
scenes Of activity and movement; it's
depots are crowded with passengers aud
freight; its stores and its warehouses
are packed with goods, aud its cotton
factories ere models for the world to
copy.
This is the Noa Columbia. Built
upon the ruins left by Sherman, it is
going to be the metropolis of the State
very soon, and some day, perhaps, the
metropolis Of this section. 1t is a town
worth visiting and a town that is al.

were visitors more welcome than those
who will tramp it's streets todsy-the
men who followed Lee and jackson and
Hampton
