The MOTHERS TOUCH.

Why think Of the vanished hand
only as the hand Of the one Who was
at ones elbow in the ways Of living
and then by some strange trarsla-
ton was carried to another sphere
whittier mortal may not enter? Why
employ the term simply as referring
to death? How many vanished
hand there are in life the loss Of
which is as poignant as when sus-
tanned through the partings made by
death. The mother stands besides
her daughter in the flush Of con-
nubial anticipation, with the orange
blossoms upon her forehead and hope
radiant in her eyes and her Heart too
full for expression of the joy that is
hers. The hand of maternity is pass
ed over the glowing features of the
daughter who is to depart from the
home forever. She catches the act
of benediction in the caress, but she
cannot yet know the fulness of the
love that is thus silently expressed.
That hand vanishes as the words
of the minister are uttered, and the
plightings of troth take place. 1t is
never again the same hand, it can
never again smooth away the childish
cares and the young woman's moods.
That band has done its mothers SER
vice as it can never again. What
ever the outcome Of the severance Of
the ties by the creation Of others, the
hand Of the mother in real sense
has vanished. In the fulness Of
triumph, in the way Of sorrow, in the
walks of awe and wonder, in the
treading Of the mystical paths of
destiny, the daughter nay often long
for that old caress, but she is now a
woman in her own right, perhaps a
mother with her own material duties.
The hand has vanished, but its bless
ing abides. Who can meas ire it,
who would compare it with the treas
ures Of the earth? It's imprint has
been placed in heaven and some day
when the daughter stands before the
great white throne it may be that the
tender, loving impress Of that mo-
Tiers hand will gain admittance a.
mong those marked for perennial
beatitudes.
If only some Of the vanished hands
could be honored as they should be,
what a YoIurae of praise, what tri-
butte Of thanksgiving, what an over
powering song of eestacy would rise
from the hearts OF mankind the world
over. Even in many pagan lands
the maternal touch is the touch Of

FIND 7-FO0T VEIN OF
 COAL NEAR FLORAL
Discoveries Made by Parties Drill- ing q Well on the J. B.
 Bailey Farm

Floral, Aug. 5.-While drilling we'll on J. B. Bailey's farm, 9 miles south of Floral, a seven foot vein of coal was struck at depth of ten feet. A company has been organized to sink a shaft to a depth of 25 feet, the company being composed of J. B. Bailey, L. w. Gilbert, J. L. Pierson, E. E. Bailey, D. H. Atom, Ed Brown, W. H. Bailey, T. F. Bailey and J. L. Brown, and to be known as the Bailey Fields Coal Company.
 The formation passed through leading to the first vein was clay, shell rock and hard rock four feet in thicknes. The coal in this vein is very soft, and it is feared will be of little value. Two bored wells near this shaft show veins of coal, one at Il feet, which has an 18- inch vein, and the other we'll at 10 feet crosses a 20-inch vein.
 Several outcroppings of coal have been noticed near there, the best of which is eight inches thick. This coal is being dug and carried away by the wagon load and used by local blacksmiths.
