Recipe for Happiness.

Go out under the bright, glad sky,
listen to the songs of the happy birds,
the shout of the dancing brooks. see
how the sunlight glOrifieS bill and
meadowland and comes Shimmering
down thru uncounted forest leaves,
these mellow, golden summer days.
Turn your faces from the thronged
towns and cities, forget little while
busy care, and let your soul thrill and
glow under the wondrous touch of di-
vine harmony that fills all nature.
The glad earth seems ever calling to
an enjoyment of the all true and the
all beautiful. Morning after morn
ing we know the rillS clap their hands
for joy, away off in the greenwood,
and the hearts of the bird thrill and
thrill, again and again, because they
are glad. And we have SO much more
to make us happy than they have-So
many hopes and loves that bird-heartS
never know. How can we up ana
down the highwas with sad coutenanc-
eS when the whole earth scenes SO
happy? 1t seems like ingratitude to
God to do so. And our smiles and
pleasant faces will bring such sun
light to other hearts.

Rich without Money

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of them with nothing in
their pockets, and thousands without
even a pocket are, rich. A man born
with a good sound constitution, a
good stomach, a good heart and good
limbs and a pretty good head-piece, is
rich. Good bones are better than gold,
tough muSleS. than silver, and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to
every function, are better than houses
and land. 1t is better than landed
estate to have had the right kind Of
a father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as
among cattle and horses. Education
may do much to check evil tendencies
or to develop good ones, but it is
good thing to inherit the right pro-
portion of faculties to start with.
That man is rich who has flavor of
wit and fun in his composition, The
hardest thing to get along with in
this life is mans own self. a cross
selfish, fellow, desponding and COM
planning fellow a timid -burdened
man these are all born defOrmed on
the inside. Their feet do not limp
but their thoughts do. A man Of for
tune on the brink Of the grave would
gladly part with every dollar to obtain
a lease Of life.

yenr of his age. Ho was0bOrn in this
county Feb. 22, 1861, He and his
devoted wife and two children went
to Texas last October in the hope that
that climate might bring relief to the
pulmonary trouble from which he was
sufferer. He was benefited and it
looked for awhile that he was going
to be himself again, but a few days
before the final dissolution, there was
a sudden collapse and his physician at
once notified his family that the end
was noar. He realized that death
was but a matter of a short while.
At his request his wife read from
Gods holy word, after which he sent
a beautiful and touching Ipetition to
the Throne Of Grace and stated that
he was prepared to meet his God. He
was member of the Baptist Church,
a Mason, and in all respects a good
citizen and an upright man. He was
a kind, conSiderate and devoted
friend, and was truelin all the rela-
tions of life. AS husband and IA
ther, he measured up to the highest
standards and in this regard there
was a devotion and thoughtfulnesS
that marked him that is well worthy
of emulation. His remains were
brought back to Mississippi and in

Entertainment In Honor Of Miss Sanders

One of the most pleasant events or
the season was the entertainment
given at the beautiful new home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Bell Friday, July
5th, in honor of Miss Fanny Zelda
Sanders, of KosciuSko. The lawn
was tastefully effectively decorated
with ferns and flowers and were brill
iantly lighted and as the sweet music
from the string band echoed over the
lawn and around the long gallery with
it's "cozy corners" the young people
declared it an ideal place for the oc-
casion. Games and contests were the
features of the evening, which were
presided over very gracefully by Mes
danes Ray and Morrison, after which
dainty refreshments were served and
at II o'clock forty-eight young people
departed for their respective homes,
after assuring the host and hostess
that the entertainment was one OF
the most enjoyable they had attended
this season.

The Beautiful Lesson.

If you love, love more. If you
hate, hate less. Life is too short to
spend in hating any one. Why war
against a mortal who is going the
same road with us? Why not
expand the flower of life and happiness
by learning to love, by teaching those
who are near and dear the beautiful
lesson? Your hands may be hard
but your heart need not be. Your
form may be bent or ugly, but do you
not know that the most beautiful
flowers grow in the most rugged, un-
sheltered places? The palace for
care, the cottage for love. Not
that there is no love in mansion; but
somehow il we are not very careful,
business will crowd all there is Of beau
'ty out of the heart. This is why God
has given the SabbathS and Saturday
nigtS, that we may leave business and
have little heart cleaning.

Swift Destruction.

We have sat upon the sea shore and
waited for its gradual approaches, and
have seen its dancing waves and
white surf, and admired that He who
measured it with His hand had given
it life and motion; and we fingered
till its gentle waters into mighty
pillows. and had well-nigh swept US
from our firm footing. So we have
seen some of the needless youth of our
town gazing with curious spirit upon
sweet motions and gentle approaches
of inviting pleasures and sins; till
they have been swept to swift diStruc-
tiOn.

Truth of Science.

If you will look into the early life
of truly helpful men, those who made
life easier or nobler to those who come
after them, you will almost invariably
find that they lived purify in the days
Of their youth. In early life the brain
though abounding in vigor lis sensitive
and very susceptible to injury, and
this to such degree, that brief mod
