Looking His Best .

a certain boy of about sixteen years,
whom | know, is very careful about
his personal appearance, and yet | do
not believe he has trace of vanity In
his makeup. He is not the least "dud-
ish." He does not affect startling neck
ties. nor fancy waistcoats, nor canes
with great, bullying heads on them.
nor anything at all striking in appear
ance. but he sees to it that his clothes
are free from dust or soil of any kind.
His boots are always carefully polish
ed, his hair neatly combed. his linen
clean, his nails in the same condition.
Moreover, his mother does not have TO
beg and implore him to wash the back
of his neck and his ears He always
has an appearance of freshness and
neatness that is good to look upon

At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk was dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knee in suppliance
bent,
Should tremble at his power;
In dreams through camp and court he
bore
The trophies OF a conqueror.
In dreams his song OF triumph heard
Then wore his monarchs signet ring;
Then pressed that monarch's throne-a
king.
rs wild his thoughts and gay Of wing
As Eden's garden bird.
At midnight In the forest shades,
Bozxaris ranged his Snliote band,
True AZ the steel of the tried blades,
Heroes In heart and hand.
There had the Persian thousands stood
There had the glad earth drunk their
blood
On old Plataea's day:
Aud now there breath ed that haunted air
The sons Of siies who persisted there.
With arms TO strike and souls to dare
Az quick and far as they.
An hour passed-the Turk awoke,
That bright dream was his last;
He woke--to hear his sentries shrek,
40 arms. they come tina Greek. the
Creek
He woks-to die mid flames and smoke,
And shout and groan and saber stroke,
And death shots falling thick and fast
IA lightning from the mountain cloud.
And heard with voice as trumpet LOUD,
Bozxaris cheer his band;
Strike till the last armed foe expires,
Strike for your affairs and your fires!
Strike for the green graves of your sirss
God and your native land
They fought like brave men long and
well:
They piled that ground with Moslem
slain;
They conquered, but Bonsaris fell,
Bleeding At every vein.
His few surviving comrades saw
His smile when rang their proud hurrah,
And the red field was won;
Then saw In death his eyelids close,
Calmly as to a nights repose,
Like flowers at set Of sun.
Bonxarisl with the stored brave
Greece nurtured in her glory's time,
Rest thee, there 10 no prouder grave
Even In her proud cline.
She wore no funeral weeds for thee
Nor bade the DARK hearse wave Its
plume.
Like torn branch from deaths leaHess
tree,
In sorrows pomp and pageantry.
The heartless luxury Of the tomb.
But she remembers thee as one
Long loved and for a season gone:
For thee her poets Tyre Is wrsathed,
Her marble wrought, her music breath
ed:
For thee she rings the birthday bells,
or thee her babes FIRST lisping tells
For thee her evening prayer is said
At palace couch and cottage bed
Her soldier closing with the foe.
Gives for thy sake a deadlier blow:
His plighted maiden when she fears
For him. the joy of her young years,
Thinks of thy fate and checks her tears.
And she, the mother OF thy boys,
Though in her eye and faded cheek
Is read the grief she will not speak,
The memory of her buried joys.
And even she who gave thee birth
Will by their pilgrim-circled hearth
Talk of thy doom without sigh;
For thou art Freedoms now and Fame's,
One Of the few. tn immortal names,
That were not borne to die,
Pity Greene Halleck.

THREE MEN DEAD.
TWO IN PRISON
Deadly Duel Near Old Salem, in
Carroll County.

CARR0LIToN, March s. Details Of the
difficulty near Old Salem, fifteen miles
south of here, yesterday, have been re-
ceived. The trouble was between W. NJ.
Hill and his two sons, John and Hunter
Hill, and A. N. Stewart and his son, Ed
Stewart. As result W. VI. Hill and
John Hill are both dead and Hunter Hill
cannot live. Sheriff McDougal and Dep
uty Sheriff Edwards went to the scene
of the crime last night, captured the two
Stewards and put them in Jail here this
evening.
| The difficulty came up over tree on
Hills land, which Stewart had cut to
make boards. Hill ordered Stewart to
abandon work on the tree until the
county surveyor could be summoned, the
lines run out and the matter legally set
tied. Yesterday the Surveyor ran the
lines. 1t seems that the tree was on
Hills land, according to the line just
run. Ed Stewart remarked that ANYBODY
who said that was the correct location
Of the line was liar. John Hill became
offended at this and struck I'D Stewart
in the face with his fist. Stewart drew
pistol and opened fire on John Hill,
killing him instantly. W. W. Hill, seeing
his son was killed, pulled up stake
that had been put down as corner mark
and struck Ed Stewart on the head. The
report is that A. N. Stewart then drew
his pistol, killed W. W. Hill and shot
Hunter Hill.
Both families are prominent and highly
connected. Mr.. Stewart and Ed Stewart
are both in jail and demand prelim-
mary trial at once. Everything is quiet
and no further trouble is feared.

"A Little 0utcast."

Mr.. e. j. Carpenters "a Little Out
cast" appeared at the Greenwood Opera
House Thursday evening. Foul weather
prevented large attendance, but the
few who were present witnessed one Of
the best performances Of the season.
There is not weak character in the
cast, and there are several members Of
the company who are really clever. Miss
May Stockton in the role Of Bob, tho
Newsboy," rises to every emergency.
She is more than clever really capti-
waiting. Miss Millicent Evans, as "Mad-
alinc," shows real hstrionic talent,
while Mr.. Stanley Johns in the leading
masculine role deports himself with
equal credit throughout several very
trying situations. "A Little Outcast' is
good play; the best Mr.. Carpenter has
yet presented to the public.

On a Saturday in July she started

hastily brought the passengerS' bag
