HEART SUNSHINE.-We cannot
change the world, taking out all
its thorns, making its tasks easy
and it's burdens light, modulating
all its discords into harmonies,
transforming its ugliness into
beauty; but we can have our own
hearts renewed by the grace of
God, and thus the world will be
made over for us. A new heart
makes all things new. A heart
Of love will find love everywhere;
. soul of song will find sweet
music everywhere.-J. r. Miller.

How 10 Save Melons, Gucumbers,
Etc.

Many gardeners fail in raising
cucumbers and melons on account
of the ravages OF the striped melon
bug, diabrotica vittata. The pest
lie easily controlled. Take four
ounces of soap and boil in one
quart of water until soap is dis
solved. Add four tablespoonful
of coal oil. Beat while hot for ten
minutes. This quantity will last
all summer if put away in cool
place. Take one tablespoonful of
the jelly TO bucket of water, stir
ring we'll together. Water the
vines once or twice week. This
mixture will not injure the most
delicate plant and is perfect in
secticide.

A Big Circus Comma.

The Great Sells 81 Downs shows
have completed all arrangements
to exhibit in Mt. Sterling on Fri
day, June II. The Sells d Downs
show has advanced rapidly during
recent years until it has reached
the front rank of tented enterprises,
and is one of the biggest on the
road. 1t advertises a greater num-
Der of features than any other
show, and, judging from the com
ments of the press, commercial
travellers and others who have seen
it, the Sells d. Downs Show pro-
duces all it advertises. With the
Sells d. Downs Shows from six to
eight acts are to be seen at one
time. in the three rings, hippo
drome track, on the stage, and in
mid-alr. The management of a
show the size of Sells and Downs
does not expect the people to be
able to watch all of the many
features, but they arrange to have
several acts of various kinds at tn e
same time, so that the spectator
may take his choice and enjoy
those that be admires most. Since
peoples tastes differ, it is necessa-
ry for a circus the size of Sells &
Downs to be cosmopolitan in char
acter In order that all may be
pleased, and those who have seen
it know that it pleases and salts
fies the most critical.
The Great Sells & Downs Shows
will positively appear in Mt Sterl-
ing for one day only, giving two
performances on Friday, June IT.

F0X-BENT0N WEDDING APPRO-
PRIATELY sOLEMNIzED
LAST MIGHT.
Bride One OF Pine Bluffs Most
Popular and Beautiful Young
Ladies.

"NNA "CuuiuS uell VI roses,
lilies and orange blossoms, with
the initials of thelbride and groom
blazing above them in electric
lights, and before an audience
that packed the church to the doors
and beyond, Miss Allie Lee Fox
and Prof. Robert T. Benton were
united in marriage last night by
Rev. j. L. Caldwell, at the First
Presbyterian Church.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Fox, of this city,
and the groom is from Mt. Sterling,
KY, and is one of the most popu-
lar teachers of Pine Bluffs public
schools.
The altar was most beautifully
decorated with palms, and lattice
work of pink and white ribbons,
while acral wedding bells hung
from three arches of green leaves
and flowers, the one under which
the contracting parties stood being
larger than the others and particu-
larly elaborate.
The electrical effects were beauti-
full and ingenious. Over one gate
was the groom's initial "B," and
over the other that of the bride,
Of" in incandescent lights, and
as the ceremony proceeded the "F"
was gradually merged into the "B,"
which, after the marriage vows
were exchanged, blazed triumph
antly alone
The wedding party entered the
church at the two side aisles,
marching to the altar to the strains
of wedding chorus, sung by the
church choir, the bride leaning on
the arm of her father. and the
groom being attended by his best
man, DR.. I. G. Edgar. Miss Fox
was attended at the altar by her
sister, Miss Blanche Fox, as maid
of honor.
The BRIDES maids were Misses
Hilda Honnet, Matte Orto, Emma
Dewoody, lola Philpot, Bette
Hahn, and Annie Newell, all taste
fully attired in pink organdie,
while the groomsmen were Sam b.
Russell, C. M. Nichol, Campbell
Fox, Carlton Fox, j. r. Ryland
and Prof. f. H. Schloss. Just be-
fore the wedding party entered the
church, Miss Edgar sang a solo ac-
companied by the organ.
The ceremony passed without a
hitch, and the responses of both
bride and groom were distinctly
heard all over the church and
throughout the large assemblage.
After the party left the chnrch to
the strains of the Lohengrin we'd
ding march, there was rendered
them reception at the home of
the brides parents. The happy
couple left on the midnight train
for Memphis, via Cotton Belt route,
They will visit Prof. Benton's
family at Mt. Sterling, KY, and
will be gone about a month.

the happenings that occur in my old

to me to shake hands with my old
friends, and enjoy their hospitality.
Many of them have passed away

people who were children are grown,
many of them married, this makes

healthy growth. Real estate is ad

everything points favorably to the
making of this, not one of the great
cities of the'South, but the GREATEST
Those who follow after my old
friend. j. G. Trimble, will verify
this statement, bye and bye, as he,
has by bis wisdom, and the aid of
his brother Frank, secured valuable
property.
Decoration Day was duly and
pleasantly represented by the Ma
tional representatives The colored
pe&le predominated. Their Gem
etery is eight miles from the city,
and kept as Uncle Sam always does
everything, in fine order. Some
thing over fourteen thousand are
buried there. The Confederate was
on the 3rd of June. The day was
threatening, but an immense crowd
was on hand. The ceremonies were
sad and impressive. The prayer
offered by Rev. Curry was beauti-
full, SO full of tenderness for the
living and hope for the dead. The
old veterans were greatly affected,
shedding tears, not only they, but
most all. The monument was

Whilst the war is long since over,
still | doubt if those who wore the
gray will ever have much love for
those who wore the blue.
Politics is a one-sided affair
down here-all for the nominee for
President. Many think Roosevelt
will be beaten--HopE so, but have
great doubts.
Remember me kindly to old
