joice and be exceeding glad because
these, our heroes, when the day was
done and the night came on, nianfuily
laid aside the battered arnor of life,
on which there was not one single
stain or bienish, and went to sleep.
Many changes have come to tn Is
q city within the sixteen years just
past The Democrat has blossomed
into a blooming daily, and ~The
| Times" has purchased a new limo
| type.
i The following is a forgotten mel
ody in Greenville:
with klingle, klingie, klingIe.
Way down the dusty lane,
: The cows are coming home;
Now sweet and clear, and faint and
low,
The airy twinklings come and go,
Like chimings from some far-off
I twoer,
Or gatherings of an April shower
That makes the daisies growp
Ko-ling, Ko-ling, Ko-lingle Jingle,
Way down the darkensng dingie,
The cows come slowly home;
And old time friends, and twilight
plays,
And starry nights, and sunny days.
/ Come trooping up the misty ways,
When the cows come home.
with kingle, klangle, kingle,
With 10000, moo-oo and jingle,
The cows are coming home;
And over there on the Merlin hill
Hear the plaintive cry of the whip
81 poor-will,
And the dew drops lie on the tangled
vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent mill;
IsKo-ling, ko-lang, fo-lingle, Jingle,
With tlnga-ling and jingle,
The cows come slowly home;
Let down the bars; let in the train
Of long-gone songs, and flowers and
rain,
For the dear old times come back
IS again
When the cows come home"
It may be painful to contemplate,
but it is nevertheless true
that the door of hope has
been closed against the cow. She
/ does not go forth now in the early
morning to loiter on the common;
without worthy attendant at her
side. If she does. she may find her
way into the city pound. Most of
these latter Improvements occurred
! since the Democrat" bloomed into
the blushing daily, and ''The Times
purchased its new linotype
Both have been earnest, con-
slant and courageous chroniclers of
the base ball news. Electric railroads
have taken the place of the slow
moving mule car; the streets have
been paved: new hotels, new churches
new school houses and the Kings
Daughters new hospital have been
! erected.
We are not, unfamiliar with the fact
that Greenville. along with the bal
ance of the Delta, was once regarded
as unhealthy, norsare we at all dispos-
ed to deny the fact that years
ago. when the Mississippi found it, it
/, was not so healthy as it is now. The
most scientific and best-informed of
the medical fraternity, after careful
research and minute scientific expert
ment, have reacher the conclusion
5, that this condition was caused by the
water then in use Their attention
was first arrested by the number of
cases of dropsy. They knew the the
custom then obtained of mixing wat
err with whtskey, and it was noted by
some of the Oldest inhabitants that
/ the tendency was for the whiskey to
evaporate and the water was killing
| the people. When the attention of
the medical world was fixed on this
condition, an dts decision reached, in
stead of advising the people to abstain
entirely from drinking water, it was
insisted that better water must be
had The people acted promptly They
: bored down into the stomach of the
earth-I say stomach because | pre-
fer not to use that other ugly word
5 and pure, linpid water gushed
forth.
And now, gentlemen of the Press,
if is with 1nfeigned delight that | can
) tell you that all of the physicians
: agree that you may take your water
mixed or unmixed. just as your taste
. may suggest, that there is absolutely
/ no further from evaporation. These
things happened after the Democrat
| had bloomed into the blushing daily
but before The Time" purchased it.
E new linotype, but the best authorit,
i holds that at the that time 9TH
i Times was thinking of making thi
: purchase. And what's the difference
There are many other thing
which I might say to Won aboti
