LOVE THAT WILL STAND THE TEST.
 In the old old story, the King had three daughters.
 One of these told him that she loved him more than she did all the beauty of the world.

the fond parent that his youngest born had no love for him to compare with theirs, but the daughter argued;
 We can do without beauty and riches, but what would life be without salt? So also. what would my life be without my father?'
 Which is childish reasoning, but the point goes straight home and brings to mind the little story about a girl friend of mine who has a whole bunch of suitors and cant decide.

 The man had brought this message to her from the beau of other days:
 "Tel her. said he, that I still love every little freckle on her witty little nose"
 And the girl began to think and think hard.
 She was not sure that the man who loved her for her beauty would love her always-for beauty doesn't last forever, and she began to think of what would happen if she married him and then lost her good looks.
 She began to think of the simple little message.
 Neither was she sure that the man who showed his devotion to her on ac- count of her cleverness, would continue to love her when he had grown used to her cleverness.

 The demand for paris green, arsenate of lead and other poisons used in fighting the cotton caterpillar has increased sharp ly during the last two days, due to the appearance of a second crop of cater pillars in many localities. The local sup ply of poison Is limited to few thousand pounds and the supply will not last long if the demand keeps up. Until Saturday night not much attention had been paid tn the worm but repeated warnings and the reappearance of the pest have caused many of the planters to get busy.
 The funeral of the late Major William F. Heiies. one of the pioneer nursery men of the south, was conducted at 1 o'clock this afternoon from the Church of Nativity, by Rev Cary Gamble and Rev. Francis Tappey. The body of Major Hcikes was brought here from Cleveland.
