evidence. One individual, q little
more conservative, took occasion to
inquire into the cause Of her conduct,
and found out that it was perfectly
consistent and proper, and was emf
nently the thing to be done. But
will this be lesson to those who are
swift to condemn, in future cases |?
Unfortunately, no. While somewhat
disconnected that their structures were
unjust aud unprovoked, the very next
object Of their suspicion will be COM
mented upon and criticised as freely
and severely as If no previous lesson
had been received. This proneness to
criticise others springs from deep
seated self -conceit. People will
readily admit that they are sinful and
are full Of foibles in general terms,
but when it comes to a concrete case
nearly every time will they excuse or
palliate it. Perhaps it may be the
very fault which they find SO offensive
in others. If we were as lenient to
the faults Of others as to our own, and
as severe to our own as to others, what
q different world this would bel A
chronic backbiter will invariably be
able to detect this fault in another,
possibly on the theory that it takes
a thief to catch a thief If the
time and attention given to the re-
view of our neighbours faults were
spent in correcting our own we would
be too busy to see his, and the heart
burning that so frequently comes from
ill-advised criticism would be un-
known. West Point Leader.

when the following business was
transacted, to-wit:
The following members were ad-
mitted to the camp: j. F. Norman,
John McNair, J. M. Kennedy, E. J..
Till, E. N. Walters, W. W. Steen,
Jas. H. Whitfield.
:. Camp appointed following commit
tee on deceased members: Judge
Oscar Norrell, Senator A. J. McLaurin
and VIM. Walker.
Committee retired and returned
making following report since last re-
port made:
God is infinite. We are mortals. !.
Gods ways are inscrutable to mortals,
and thus it is that we can not always
comprehend the good He sends us.
Not even sparrow falls without His
notice, and we know that no christian
soldier puts off his armor and goes
away until God can use him better up
there. The Great Master in His in
finite wisdom has chosen, within the
last year, to call Of Rankin Camps
heroes from the battle of life to the
glory and dazzling splendor Of the life
beyond the great divide. It is God S
prerogative to call them up higher,
and in His taking our hearts mourn,
while their glorified souls are basking
in His eternal peace and sunshine.
We have lost, but they have gained.
The places vacated here by Oonfeder-
ate veterans can never be filled; their
ranks can never be recruited. There
was confederate army, but there can
never be another. And in order to
land their patriotism and sanctify
their heroism and unwavering devo-
tion, let it be
Resolved, That we bow with humil-

SOME COMMANDMENTS

Thou shalt not 60 away from
town to do any trading, nor thy son
nor thy daughter.
2-Thou shalt do whatever lieth in
thy power to promote and encourage
the welfare of thine people.
3-Thou shalt spend the earnings
at home, that they may return from
whence they come and give nourish-
ment to such as may come after
thee.
Thou shalt patronize thy home
merchants and thy home printer, for
yea, verify, doth not thy home printer
spread over the land tidings of thy
goodness and greatness that the peo-
pie may patronize thee.
5-Thou shalt not ask printer to
take less than his price; remember
that by asking him to retreat from his
price thou interest that he is robber,
if he hath no dignity thou wilt get
done by him somehow.
6-Thou shalt not ask credit, as
goods cost money, and the merchant g
brain is burdened with bills; his
children clamor daily for bread, and
his wife abideth at home for lack of
such raiment as adorneth her sister.
Blessed, yea. thrice blessed, is the
man that pays cash.
Thou shalt not suffer the vices
of pride to overcome thee and if other
towns entice thee. consent not; thou

fate Of the calf that left it's mother and
followed steer away from home and

is in thine heart and the merchant
readeth it like an open book; he
laughs thee to scorn and shouteth to
his clerk ha. ha.
9-Thou shalt not ask printers to
take two dollars for three dollar job,
because some other poor printer will
do it for less money, the other printer
may steal his stock and under pay
his help; If thou trade with such as
he thou art an accessory to his crime !:
f0>-Thou shalt cast thy vote in all
municipal elections, for the man thou
thinkest suitable Esndel for thy
school children to follow after, and
refrain from the association Of oil po-
litical grafters who are ready to mis-
lead.
1-Thou shalt not bear false wit.
ness against the town wherein thou
dwellest, but speak we'll of it to men,
that thy home town and its home
people may be proud Of thee.

THE CURING OF WILLIAM HICKS.


Bill Hicks had asthma shook the
floors
With each recurring paroxysm;
The doctors made him live out doors,
And that gave him the rheumatism.
The doctors cured his rumatiz;
Of that there never was question.
Strong acids stopped those pains of his
But left him i'll of Indigestion.
Dyspepsia fled before course
Of eating grain. 1t would delight us
To cheer this plan until we were
hoarse-
But Hicks then had appendicitis.
He rallied from the surgeons knife
And lay six weeks without a
culver;
The operation saved his life
The loafing though, knocked out his
liver.
To cure his liver troubles he
Tried muscle stunts; you know how
Iney go.
From liver ails he then was free,
But all the strains gave him lum.
bago
Lumbago is a painful thing;
A massuse with visage solemn
Rubbed the lumbago out by spring,
But twisted poor Bills spinal
column.
To rid his backbone of the twist
They used some braces. They were
--------eeare ear less; ssssss;---
The padding over his head they missed
This made him straight and left him
hairless.
Drugs were prescribed to grow his hair
They acted just as represented;
They put his scalp in good repair,
But soaked in and left Hicks de.
mented.
Then to sanitarium
They took poor Bill. He was
wisely treated
His brain with health began to
hum
Then asthma; ward was poorly
heated.
''More open air, - the doctors said.
Bill Hicks cried: mo you shant
lure me.
I'LL stay in peace upon my bed,
And shoot the man that tries to cure
