Have YOu Seen My Camel ?

Saadi was taking his evening stroll
towards the gardens outside of fSbiraE,
when his attention was drawn to a
plot of clover which had been eaten
all round the edges, and the center
left. Seeing by the footprints that 1t
had been camel grazing, he CON-
msnced thinking why it bad not eaten
in the center. BE at last came TO
the conclusion that the camelmust have
been blind in one eye. On going around
the corner Of the plot he found that 1t
had there been unloaded. Noticing
where the animal had kneeled while
his load was removed, he saw on one
side lot of large flies, and on the other
lot oil smaller ones. After thinking
for some time what could be the Gauss
of these two sorts OF flies socumulating,
he concluded that one side Of the load
had been meat, and the other side su-
gar. Seeing near the spot the i'm
prints of a womau's shoes, and also the
marks Of her hands, he concluded that
che had been a stout woman, and had
put her hands on the ground to assist
her in rising. With this he moved on.
Presently be was overtaken by man,
who inquired if lie had seen camel.
Had it only one eyer" asked Ssadi.
The man answered, "By the beard
of the Prophet, you are right.
"Anl it was loa led with part
meat and part sugar.

still pounding the air behind. Mrs.

Deaf, Of Mrs. Al. Sharn.

Mrs. Mary Pagh johnson. widow Of
Absaiom B. Sharp. died At the resi-
deuee of her daughter, Mrs. W W.
Buford, at2:15 0 clock yesterday after
noon, aged eighty.three years, eleven
months and twenty seven days. The
end was peaceful and painless. for the
venera BILE lady suffered IRON no dis,
ease; the candle Of life had burned to
the socket and death came to hersin its
gentlest and softest form. The funeral
took place at Il 0 o'clock this forenoon,
with services at the Methodist Church
and interment in the Protestant Gene
terry. A large assembly of relatives
and friends attended the obsequies,
and the floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful.
Mrs. Sharp was native of St.
Clair county, Illinois, and was mar
ried to her ate husband Dec. Z. 1843.
The couple came south five years later
and shortly thereafter took up their
uOmiCIlS. III tlIlS AI01bIAAES hOA z
for the remainder of their lives. They
were the parents of eight children, two
boys and six girls, tfour of whom died
in infancy. OF the others, all have
passed into the Great Beyond with the
exception of one daughter, Mrs. Blu
ford, with whom Mrs. Sharp had made
her home since the death of her hus-
baud fifteen years ago.
Mrs. Sharp's sunny and kindly pa
ture, coupled with d bright mind, ex
cellent judgment and great self,re-
lance, won the affection and conf
dence of all with whom she came in
contact, and her loss will be deeply
deplored by the wide circle of relatives
and friends of which she was a central
figure and ornament.
To the bereayed family The Chief,
in common with the entire community,
tenders assurances of sincere and pro-
found sympathy.

Olive Camp No. IS, Woodmen OF the
World, on Wednesday night of last
week, handsome silver service of
FIVE pieces was presented TO the camp,

new members was initiated into the
organization. Mr.. We'll urged that a
degree team be organized so that the
beautiful initiatory ceremonies of the
order might be conducted in beft-
ting manner, and as an incentive to
the carrying out OF his suggestion
stated that when the team had beer
formed and aecoutered he would pre-
sent the camp with a silver service CON
tanning the various utensils and yes.
soils used in certain portions of the
ritualistic work. The team was formed
without loss of time by the election OF
Louis Boston as captain, and under
his efficient direction has made such
rapid progress that it is now ranked
among the best drilled and most com
petent Woodmen degree teams in tht
state. It is fully uniformed and equip.
ped, and presents a fine appearance.
