General Merchandise.

While there are a large number
of dry goods stores in our thriv-
ing little city, none is more prom
inent or has a better trade than
the one conducted by Messrs.
Philson & Henry on public square.
This business was established in
1904 under the firm name OF
Wilson. Henry & CO. In 1907 it
changed to Philson, Henry & Co.,
and in 1909 Messrs. Philson &
Henry assumed entire charge of
the business.
They carry a full line of dry
goods, dress goods of all kinds,
notions, shoes, ladies ready-to-
wear, suits, skirts, and waists,
parasols, and are agents for
Thompson's Glove Fitting Cor
sets. They also handle a line of
window shades and lace curtains.
In addition they run a millinery
department where all the latest
styles in millinery are handled.
Miss Fretwell, of Baltimore, an
experienced milliner, has been in
charge of this department for
more than six years, and during
this time has built up a reputa-
ton as one who has perfect taste
in the art of fine millinery, and
each seasons showing of goods
selected are the latest and most
up-to-date styles in. millinery.
This firm is composed of Messrs.
R. C. Philson and Albert Henry,
two Of our most enterprising and
progressive young business men.
They will at all times be found at
the head Of each and every enter
prise which will increase the pop
ularity and material growth of
our city.

Don't Nag Each Other.

Young wives and husbands cannot be too
strongly remined of the possible shipwre-
cks they will make o ftheir happiness il they
yield to that Ill temper that expresses it
self in discourtesy, opposition, and above
all, that most disastrous amusement OF
"nagging' and creating rows. Hundreds
of households have gone wrong from the
mere want Of checking in time the habit
Of annoying as a relief Of momentary feel
ings Of discomfort. The wife who gets in
to the way of opposing or checking" her
husband, Of opposing him in small things
and standing out in larger ones; the hus-
band who is sneering, tempestuous tyran-
meal, fault-finding; perhaps neither side
knowing the whole extent Of its folly, but
Just giving way to it as more easy than to
fight and conquer it. These people are do
ing their best to dig the grave of their mar
ried peace; and some day poor fainting lit
tie love will fall into it stark and plumeless,
and will never rise to life again. In the
beginning these little tiffs and discomforts
are made up with a kiss from him and a
few tears from her to add cement to there
Cancellation. By still more timethi never
comes at all and things get into that chro-
mic state when there is never a formal heal
ing, but an ever widening riftand never
ending GOODNESS. Then the two lives jar
and grind like rusty hinges. The peace
of home, like a dying ember, goes out.
Goodness and formality takes the place OF
tender love and happiness, and homo, the
heaven on earth, is darkly yelled and the
sunlight of peace and happiness for ever
flown.

The Actor.
(Rv Ella Wheeler W

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Oh, man, with your wonderful power,
Oh, woman, with genius and grace.
You can teach the whole world with you
power,
II you are but worthy the place.
The stage is q force and q factor
In moulding the thought Of the day,
II only the heart of the actor
Is high as the theme Of the play.
No discourses or sermon can reach us,
Through feeling, to reason, like you;
No author can stir us and teach US,
With lessons as subtle and true.
Your words and your gestures obeying,
We weep or rejoice with your part,
And the player, behind all his playing,
He ought to be great as his art.
No matter what role you are giving,
No matter what skill you betray,
The everyday life you are living
Is certain to color the play.
The thoughts we call secret and hidden
Are creatures of malice, In fact,
They steal fourth unseen and unbidden,
And permeate motive and act.
The genius that shines like q comet
Fills only one part Of Gods plan
II the lesson the world derives from 1t
Is married by the life Of the man,
Be worthy your work II you love It;
The king should be fit for the crown;
Stand high as your art, or above 1t,
And make US look up and not down.

GEN. (. P. ALEXANDER.
The Savannah Press.

The death Of Gen. E.P. Alexander reno.
yes from the South one Of its most promi-
nent figures. Gen. Alexander was q man
Of wide intelligence and one who took a
great interest in the affairs Of his country.
His services both to the United States
and to the C~onfederacy were marked by the
most devoted and close attention to duty
and through his long life he gave his SER
whom he believed could be best helped
there by. He won fame in many fields.
First, as an engineer in the army Of the
United States, and then as q leader upon
the field Of the forces Of the C%onfederacy,
he proved himself q man Of brilliant intel
lent and %unflinching bravery. Since the
war he has served in many capacities with
much credit to himself.
Gen Alexander was an optimist, as sho-
WI by his poetical answer to the late John
Hays doleful and disheartening poem, 1.-The
Stirrup Cup"
There is an interesting story in connee-
tirn with this poem and the answer which
is known to few persons John Hay wrote
1.-The Stirup Cup" anonymously. 1t will
be recalled that it left nothing upon which
to base the theory of q better life after de-
ath. 1t was as follows
THE sTIRRUP cUP
My short and happy day Is done,
The long and lonely night comes on; I.
And at my doorthe pale horse stands
To bear me forth to unknown lands.
His whinny shrill, his paving hoof
Sound dreadful as the gathering storm
And I must leave this sheltering roof
And joys Of life 80 sweet and warm.
Oh, joys of life, so sweet and warm.
HinI PrianH on faithful md on trina
My rosy children and my wife
So sweet to kiss, 80 fair to view.
So sweet to kiss, 80 fair to view;
The night comes on, the light burns blue
And at my door the pale horse stands
To bear mt fourth to unknown lands.
The tone Of this poem was too doleful
for Gen Alexander, who taking q more
cheerful view and n In strict accord with
the Christian faith, added to the poem OF
Mr. Hay the following verse
But storm and gloom and MYSTERY
Shall only nerve my courage high,
| Who thro life's scenes hath borne his part
May face it's close with tranquil heart.
No trembling hand will grasp the rein,
This life hath not been mine In vain,
| III w ~ Ck4AS - oSSN AAy PAS&NSs
I drain the cup and boldly face
The heritage Of the human race,
| whose birthright tbs to pierce the groom
And solve the mystery ofthe tomb.
I follow some, and others lead
From whom my soul would ne'er divide
One fate for all. Where moves the great
Profession, there let me abide.
When Gen Alexander wtote these verses
he did not know who the author Of "The
Stirup Cup" was. He thought the lines OF
the latter were incomplete and too much
filed with the sadness Of death and parting
Gen. Alexander wrote his addendum In
1898. After learning yearslater that John
Hay was the author he sent the added YER
ses to him, and Mr.. Hay, just a few days
before he died, wrote hima letter, thank
Ing him for them.
