They have torn down the old church.
And moved into the new;
Frescoed walls. and windows stained,
And cushions on the pew.
But let me tell you one and all.
The old church we do love.
For there il was we held commune
With God who rules Above.
IT'S not the church. but every one,
Seems greatly changed to-day;
The people in the new church,
All seem afraid To pray,
The singing too. is not the same,
For in the old church dim.
All opened wide their books and joined
In the singing of the hymn,
And in the new church. sad to say,
They scar e know how to walk;
The fashions, and the frills they wear,
Have made the old folks talk,
And when the choir begins To sing,
You ought to see them look:
For not tune the new choir sings,
Is written in the book.
So there we stand. and do our best,
We are too fast or slow;
And Mary Jane out of tune.
Her voice il seemed too low,
She closed her book, and wasn't pleased
And when she turned around;
She sat herself down on her book,
And stared at parson Brown.
scarcely know just what to think,
At the way things are arranged;
And many IA sigh the old folks give
To see how things are changed
To tell the truth, really think
The old folks of to-day,
Would rather worship III the church
Where they used to sing and pray.
Ii doesn't matter much to us,
For we haven't long to stay
And when we go. oh let us rest,
In the churchyard, cross the way,
And while we're here. well not forget
The church of our first love,
And ! hope to meet the dear old folks.
In the church that is built above.

An Annual Peach Crop.

4 man in Georgia has hit upon an
idea which is. likely to be interesting to
fruit growers A farmer near Moultrie
i'll that State, who had big fruit or
cnard, found that often the heat in
summer and the frost hurt his peach
crops. He set about to find remedy,
and discovered one that is attracting
wide. spread attention The State Ell.
tomologist has made an investigation
of his plan and has endorsed it, The
scheme is simple. This farmer decided
that growing peach trees in the shade
of pine trees would protect the peach
trees from the heat III summer and from
the killing frosts. Many people laughed
at him, but he went ahead and planted
seventy five acres. The trees thrived
nightly, and the growth was not re-
tarded by the surroundings. He claims
To have trees less than three years so
loaded with peaches that in many in
stances the boughs have been broken
Others are adopting this method. 1t is
possible that such plan would protect
fruit trees from the severity of winter
i'll the northern States. In fact, some.
what similar protection on the north
side of orchards has brought good re.
suits.

Got a Crop Of MuSkratS.

The Eastern Shore has begun harvest
ing its annual crops of muskrats which
promises to be one of the best of recent
years. During the storm last week
there were high tides and seas and the
animals were driven inland. where they
were slain in large numbers. On the
bay shore alone it is estimated that
there were killed with sticks and guns
or by dogs from 1000 TO $500 of these
amphibious rodents.
% The storm was a blessing in disguise
to many Eastern Shoremen, therefore,
netting them considerable money for
their Christmas purchases. The brown
hides are selling for is cents each and
the black hides for % cents each, so
that the value of the skins of the rats
killed i'm one day aggregated about
30. Some idea of their abundance on

The following account of the death of
a young man who had many relatives in
Newberry is taken from The Site of the
Ist Young Bolaud was grandson of
Mr.. w. n. Blats of this city:
Lsst night a sad death occurred
Young Claude R. Boland, aged 1S years,
suddenly fell dead The boy had been
in good health and up to a few weeks
ago had been as light-hearted as boy Of
his age should be Recently, however,
he has been morbid and morose. 1t is
supposed that he was in love with some
young woman who rejected his atten-
tionss
While sitting on the edge of his bed
about 10 O'Clock last night young Boland
suddenly placed his hand TO his heart
and calling the name of young woman
of whom he was very fond he collapsed
and fell back dead
A physician was hastily summoned
but to no avail. 1t is supposed that the
lad died from heart failure.
The funeral will be held from his pa
rents residence, No. 2o15 Main street,
this afternoon at 4 O'Clock and the inter
ment will be in Elnwood cemetery.
