During the meeting of the Few Hope
Baptist Association, colcred. here last
week, they asked the privilege of in
specting the beautiful Baptist church.
Rev.J T jenkins made an appointment

NECESSITY FOR SMILES.
A Discourse on the Desirability OF
Happy Countenance.

Certain kindly disposed persons
arc in the habit of advising man
kind in phrase peculiar to photog-
raphers to |'looL pleasant" whatever
be their state and condition and to
insist that even aching hearts should
be carried beneath smiling counte-
nanccs. Yet Just as there are peo-
pie who object to those regions
where perpetual sunshine prevails
and where clouds and storms arc
unknown, so there are those who
would find monotonoUs an ever
cloudlcss countcnancc. As an anti
dote to melancholy heats suggested
that when ones beloved exhibited
some ''rich anger" to
Irnprison her soft hand and let her rave
And feed deep. deep upon her peerless
eyes.
Of course there are smiles more
heartrending than tears and tears
moro cheering than smiles, while
the Cheshire cat variety Of express
sion is pleasant to the point of ex-
ASPIRATION. The smile upon the face
of Leonardo da Einci's celebrated
Norma Lisa is uncomfortable to some
people, while over others it casts a
spell not to he resisted. 1t is said
that the American feminine counte-
nance is one that leans toward
smiles, and if foreign testimony is
to be trusted there is cause for a
smiling complacency in the demon
strated facts that American women
are the best dressed as well as the
most independent and problem free
of all women. To have the right
things on ones body and the wrong
things off ones mind is certainly
to be as happy as it is possible for
womankind to be. But as for the
necessity for smiling in all situa-
tons and under al circumstances
that must rest with the individual,
who will probably decide that he
will look as he feels and smile when
he pleases.-Chicago Tribune.

I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to DR..
Bakers Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Ipfammatory Rheu-
matism. I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. Iprocured
some of the above medicine, and be-
fore using bottle of it I could walk
without my crutcbee, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely we'll, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully re-
commend it, and believe it will do
all it's projectors claim for it.
Respectfully,

am confident it is all due to oral

Of tramps in court and their feeder

A Curious Sense That Plants Hav'

A Curious Sense That Plants Rave.
Francis Darwin, speaking before
the members of the British assocla-
ton at Glasgow, said that q pine
tree grows straight upward because
it possesses gravitation sense. a
plant which grows in curve in or
der to assume the position best suit
ed to its needs also exhibits per-
ception Of gravitation. Some flower
stalks are very clriously guided by
the gravitation sense. The common
narcissus is an example. At first
there is a straight shaft piercing the
ground with its compact pointed
flower bud. But as the flower opens
the stalk bends close to the top and
bring> the flower tube into i rough
" horizontal position. where it
shows off It's brightly coIored crown
to fhe insects that visit it. The
fowcrS are guided to tic righ: posi-
;ion by the gravitation sens. and
they increase or diminish the an
gular bend i'll their stalk till the
right position is attained"

Be Careful Of Geography.

When YOU are writing novel,
don't get your geographical facts so
badly mixed as TO reflect discrcdlt
upon your early training. In one
popular novel the Azores are refer

The writer also introduces his hero
into the antarctic regions in Janu-

He HAD EARS.
And General Logan Told the Kind
That They Were Not.

ESI ihcy were MOI.
General John y. Logan once re-
heved an embarrassing situation as
promptly as he ever vanquished a
foe.
His jet black locks combed down
smooth over his cheeks and cut
across in a straight line at the base
of the neck made two sharp corners,
one on either side his head, whose
ebon folds totally concealed his
ears.
Once when transient guest at a
hotel he was seated in the dining
room opposite lady and her little
daughter of four or five years. Well
bred silence was preserved, but the
child looked "Black Jack" over with
interest. What passed in her mind
became apparent when, after a
weeks absence, he was again seated
at the table with the same lady and
her daughter. In the interim the
general had had his hair so cut that
it exposed the lower part Of the lobe
of his ears. Hardly was he seated
in his chair before the childs eyes
were fairly glued upon him. She
wriggled in her seat, then hitched
her mothers arm violently and said
in stage whisper:
Mamma, he has got cars. | can
sec them"
''Yes," exclaimed General Logan,
with twinkle in his eye, Il have
got ears, my little maid, and they
hear
The child's mother blushed Grim
son and attempted to stammcr out
an apology, but the general turned
to her and said, with a smile that
rendered his swarthy features ra-
diant:
Madam, pray do not distress
yourself. | can assure you they are
not asses rS.%-Ncw York Times.
