Most girls ana some boys have played
In their time the game Of dibs or
knucklebones or jackstones. hut few OF
them know that the game has existed
since the third century Is. G. and Is
probably still older How Il was played
In ancient days no one can tell. but the
ankle Joint bones OF the sheep. OK, deer
and pig were used. and the game was
called 'astragal," from the Latin word
for the ankle Joint. In Scotland peb.
bles are often employed, whence the
name "chuckles." Even precious stones
and gold and bronze Stones" have
been used, aud in some countries the
bones were marked with numbers and
colored TO represent kings, queens,

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A short absence quickens love
along absence kills it,
Waste Of time is the most extra
vagant and costly of all expenses.
Tue earnestness of life is the
only passport to the satisfaction
of life.
There is no greater disaster in
love than the death of the imugi-
nation.
The most cowardly lone wolf is
the brsvest when he has a pack at
his back
Originality consists largely in
seeing things rs they are and tell.
ing the truth about them.
There is no JOY like the JOY of
real virtue, aud no music like the
music of a good conscience.
When there is love in the heart
there are rainbows in the eyes,
which cover every black cloud
with gorgeous hues.
Before we passionately desire
anything which another enjoys we
should examine into the happi-
ness of its possessor.
The grandest warrior is he who
fights against aud conquors the
petty passions which would COM
promise his dignity as a reasona-
BILE being.
A selfish heart never under
stands the pain that others feel
n giving necessary lpain, nor can
'uch heart see things from 9TH
'rs point of view.

that 1t is often attributed to whole pco

JUNGLE" ALLEN wOFFoRD.


Uncle Allen, as he was fami liar
ly called, died at the home of hit
son.in.law, Mr., j. M. Barnes. il
the Dunn Springs neighborhood
on the evening of the 18th of Jan
nary. His last illness was of short
duration. He was about 70 years
OF age; was born on what wal
known as the old Wofford farm on
the Fords Ferry and Marion road.
Lived all his life in or near that
community. He was we'll known
in the county and loved and res.
pected by all who knew him.
He protested faith in Christ and
united with the church at Dunn
Spring in the year 1883. Since
that time he has lived a faithful
aud consistent christian life, and
quietly, peacefully and calmly he
passed away.
He told Eta Barnes, his only
child, not to grieve for him, that
he was ready to go.
In his religious life he was not
demonstrative, but quietly and
faithfully followed the Master.
We never knew him TO speak evil
of any one, but he was ever ready
to speak words of encouragement
to those troubled or downcast, to
lend helping hand to the needy,
aud was ever found at duty's
post.
We feel that IN his death Dunn
Springs church has lost one If its
most faithful and consistent men,
bers. No difference what the state
of the weather, or how busy the
season, unless hindered by sick
ness Uncle Aliens seat by the
right hand window near the altar
was never vacant. In imagination
we can now see him as he quietly
and calmly took his accustomed
seat. Oh, how he will be missed
there. Who will take his place ?
Upon whom will his mantle fallY
May the allwise, loving Father
who saw fit to remove him, raise,
up some one of the younger men,
bers of the family circle to take
his place.
Dear brothers and sisters, while
we will all miss him very much
here, let us find comfort ia the as
surance he left us of his fitness
for heaven. We do not mourn as
those who have no hope. Let as
all strive to emulate his good ex-
ample; follow the meek and lowly
Jesus; honor God with our lives,
50 that we may daily meet his ap-
probation and have His comfort
ing presence in the trying hour of
death.
Then let us bask in the sunlight
of his love, enjoying the company
of angels and loved ones through
out the ceaseiess ages of a never
ending eternity.

proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny IN the
churn," is an old time dairy
provcrb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
TO their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

the love that has existed between IA
Their and daughter which proved SUI
perior to the changes of time and for
tun defying even death itself, and en-
tering into the records of humanity,
imperishable and immortal.
One OF. the most beautiful instances
was the love Of Cicero for Tullia. She
was a woman of high attachments and
exalted character. with qualities of
heart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate com
panion.
After her death he could find neither
consolation for her loss o distraction
for his grief. Affairs of state, weighty
matters of political and personal In
terest. even the sympathy Of Brutus
and Cesar. could not dispel the mels2-
