A PATHETIC PARTING.


Last Meeting ct william Winter ana
Richard Mansfield.
The last days Of Mansfield were In.
expressibly affecting and sorrowful.
His condition underwent very many
changes. bis suffering at times was
great. but slowly he gained q little
strength He had for some time been
determined on q journey to England.
His passage was engaged for May 4.

said. ''even II ! were dying" We sat
together for some time. He did not
speak much. nor could ! speak much
to him. II seemed best that We should
both pretend to believe that he would
soon be well. but I knew that ! should
never see him again When he did
speak It was little more than muir.

Once he spoke aloud to himself. II

I rose to go and clasped his hand and
said Soodby. At the door ! turned to
look at him once more. He was sitting
huddled In bis chair. His figure was
much emaciated: bis clothes hung
loosely about him: bis face was pale
and very wretched in expression. and
I saw In his eyes rs he looked at me
that he knew our parting was forever.
I went back aud kissed his forehead
and pressed his hand and % came
away. We never met again. Since

An interesting instance in history OF
the twisted application Of the names
Of a people Is afforded by the case OF
the word slave" Now. the Slavi
tribes dwelling on the banks Of the
Dneiper. derived their appellation from
''Slav." meaning noble or illustriOus.
In the days Of the later Roman en-
pire vast numbers Of these Slavs were
taken over by the Romans In the con-
dition Of captive servants. aud In this
way the name Of the tribes came In
time to carry with II the idea Of low
state Of servitude. the exact antithe-
sis Of its original meaning and one
that has survived to this time

Holly Grove News.

Holly Grove now is an attrac- tive little city. The trees on either side of the streets are now clothed in their beautiful green Summer gown, and are gently, gently lowing to the passing breeze. In fact Holly Grove would be a beautiful spot for the romance writer. Did you ever sit upon broad southern veran- da, and be cooled by the passing breeze, listen to the lullaby sung by bough and bush.
 Dreamy, did you say? We'll, yes, but why not in the dear old southern town of Holly Grove? I will tell you home hunter there could be no glander place than our little city would be for you. Our streets are broad and long, our homes are modern, unioue in plans. and it seems that each person is personally in- terested in keeping the entire city in a sanitary condition as it is possible to keep a little city. Our health record will prove this. It really seems that good health is contagious here instead of dis ease Our society is of the best It is of he old time southern society.
