And the sunlight as il throws It's rays

Where / spent those happy days,
And now amid those early scenes
Tonight my memory plays.

From the quarters far away,
And tho banjo music ringing
Just at the close Of day
The pickanlnnios danced with giee
Before the cabin door.
And the old folks had a hocdown
Inside upon the floor
when the jubilee was over
And the revclry would cease
The cider and tho hoe-cakc
Would mako sumptuous feast.
Tonight I'm living once again,
Those happy days Of yorc.

As they came in az the door.
To hear my fathers words Of prayer
Before they'd so TO rest.
I know ere this they've met again
In the mansions of the blcst.

Upon the dear old place.
But TN not meet my dusky friends
Nor gaze upon their face.

Meath magnolia shadows dcep

And turn aside and weep.

And many things that's grand.

Printed BY Request.

Mix the following by shaking well
in a bottle, and take in tesspoonful
doses after meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandslion, ons.half
ounce; Compound Syrup Ssrsaparilla,
three ounces. A local druggist is the
authority that these simple, harmless
ingredients can be obtained at nom
inal cost from our home druggists.
The mixture is said to cleanse and
strengthen the clogged and inactive
Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad-
der weaknesses and Urinary trouble Of
all kinds, if taken before the stage OF
Bright's disease.
Those who have tried this say it
positively overcomes pain in the back,
clears the urine Of sediment and rsgu.
lates urinstion, especially at night,
curing even the worst forms OF blad-
der weakness.
Every man or woman here who feels
that the kidneys are not strong or act.
ing in healthy manner should mix
this prescription at home and give it a
trial, as it ia said to do wonders for
many persons.
The Scranton (Pa) Times was first
to print this remarkable prescription,
in October, of 1906, since when all the
leading newspapers of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
and other cities have made many an
nouncements Of it to their readers.

Communicated.

Mr.. EDIToR-Several motives prompts
the expression of these views. First,
the article in last weeks issue, signed
Temperance, touches question of
vital interest to our community. His
suggestion for organization to Danish
the saloon is timely, v Use and peril
nent one. In this age Of American &C
Invites no cause succeeds without thor
ough organization and systematic and
intelligent effort.
Secondly, the most progressive and
prosperous States Of our Southland have
taken hold II the liquor question with
determination, zeal and enthusiasm
Great success has crowned these enter
prises, and our Little Mountain State"
should give immediate and energetic
attention to this issue, lest we be con-
demned for devoting our mighty pow
ers TO material development and neg
lecting the weightier matters that affect
mental and moral conditions for time
and eternity.
Thirdly, active participation in a To-
cal-option campaign some years ago in
huences me TO endorse heartily such 8
movement in Shepherdstown.
Fourthly, | have lived here long
enough TO observe the baleful effects Of
the saloon and to recognize the bois-
ferrous laughter and unseemly yeils Of
passersby at midnight hours, as the
effects Of strong drink.

this scribe that the above-named ser
mon should be put IN tract form and

ity.
