Our Heavens.

Our heavens are so near that we
Can sometimes not believe or see
Their richness and their beauty, quite
So conscious are we OF our right
And skeptical OF love and light.
The door between US often seems
A barrier that one never dreams
Can be removed by such frail things
As love and truth and Joy that brings
Again the sunny worlds bright wings.
Eternal longings fill the heart
For beauty-in the very mart
Where throbbing life gives challenge brave
To throbbing life, the banners wave
That beauty wove and fancy gave.
The stars themselves are not so lar
As oft they seem. and many star
Shines closer than we really know
Such nights as in true love we go
Unto our prayers with head bent low.
The Bentztown Bard.

How Indians Make Flint Arrow Heads.

The old Indian art of making flint
arrow heads was not so difficult as is
usually imagined-white men are making
"old and genuine" Indians arrow heads
now Tor commercial purposes and by the
old Indian methods. Flint is not Clipped
with stone or with metal, but with water.
When an Indian wished to make an arrow
head, he held piece of flint in fire until
it was very hot and then allowed drop
OF water to drip from the end of a stick
upon the spot to be Clipped away. The
sudden cooling made the flint chip off
Immediately. Some cunning is of course
necessary in the shaping of the arrow
head, but the old Indian method is the
best that has been found.

But on the third Sunday somebody
come to hear Falway. II wasn't none o.
the Rainses, nor yit none O. the Barlows:
it was a stranger to the community, a
well-dressed man wearin' black beard
and he had found out aforehand about the
fightin' place and the meetin' house and
all. This stranger took off his broad,
black hat, walked in, and set down about
middleways, whar he listened to every
word the preacher said.
When the closin' hymn lacked Jest a
little O. bein' sung, the stranger got up
and slipped away.
Now, thar was a branch O. the crick
which run down from the Raines side OF
the holler, and also thar was branch OF
the crick that come from the Barlow side.
Along in the middle O. the week the
preacher he happened to wander up the
Raiues branch, whar he found two moon
shine stills that had already been broke
up. Up the Barlow branch he found the
same thing.
This explained TO his mind the busi-
ness o. the strange man who had listened
to him preach the Sunday afore. Still,
he wondered that he hadn't heard o. no
shootin'. Sort O. curious, he went up to
see Old Grandpap Sam Raines.
The old man was a settin' by the tire a
maxim new ak handle when the preach
er got thar. He invited Falway in, and
told him to take chair, which same Fal-
way done.
"Brother Raines," begins Falway, "has
there been revenuers in this here local
itY ?"
mot lately" says the old man, hang
in his head and arakin' his knotty fingers
through his white ha'r.
"Then," says Falway, chow come IT
that thar has been several moonshine
stills destroyed 2"
"We done it-that is, we tore up Our
two, which was down thar on the branch, "
says Old Grandpap Raines.
"And see that thar has been two more
busted UP over on the Barlow side, "
says Falway.
al didn't think they'd do it," says Old
Grandpap, a seemin' like he was power
full surprised.
And what caused you Raineses to bust
I'D yore two stills ?" axes the preacher.
"Acause Wine is mocker, and strong
drink is ragin',' by gyarP says Old
Grandpap Raines. "Acause-aw, say,
Preacher, hain't you never found if out
yit, in the name O. goodness2 Why,
we've all, every druned one OF us, been
a sIlppin' down thar in the laurels this
side O. the meetin'-ho and listenin'
to you preach. Not one word of it have
we missed, Preacher, bless Yore soufl
And if them thar Barlows has done went
and tore up their stills-why, by gYar, it's
shore sign that they've been listenin'
tool
Falway gifts to his feet and shakes Old
Grandpsp Raines's hand Then he starts
without another word for the rough
meetip' house with the cross on its roof
He was so glad that his ,ryin' to do good
hadn't been in vain.
But he was troubled about the strange
man who had listened to his sermon on
the third Sunday Of his preachin'. If thai
man wasn't reyenuer, who was he
The more Falway- thought about it the
paler he got. Who on earth was The
stranger?
On the next Sunday, Falway got ar
early and fixed hissef a few bites o

ed from daylight until dark at cuttin', /,
notchin' and raisin' the logs; he rived lots
o. the roofin' boards at night down thar
in his little, lonesome cabin; he carried
the floor planks two at time from saw
mill three miles away. Andas he'd work
he'd sing two hymns that he know
ed by heart. Now, it shore. does look
funny that a man can be preacher and
then not know but two hymns by heart
When the meetin' house was done il
was rough-lookin' buildin'-that CANT
be denied. The winders was. little, and
the seats didn't have no backs, the door
was homemade, and swung on pair o.
wooden hinges, and the pulpit was more
poor than any other part O. the whole
thing. But thar was wooden cross on
the top O. the roof that made man feel
like takin' off his hat. That's a fact,
shore
On the first Sunday after tie finishin'
o. the meetin' house Falway walked in
with a very small Bible in both hands.
Nobody else was thar but him. He wait
ed more than an hour, still nobody else
didn't come. II shore was enough TO
take the heart out O. the pore feiler, after
all O. his hard work-think O. carryin'
planks three miles, two at a.timel
And it would took the heart out O.
the ordinary man; but John Falway he
lacked tfunderin' big sight O. bein' the
ordinary kind. His stripe was the stripe
that jest won't be beat. He stood up
thar in his rough pulpit and sung one O.
the two hymns which he knowed,-
Crock OF Ages" il was,-then he took
his text and preached to a. empty house.
That's what he done. After the sermon
was over he sunghis other hymn, "There
is fountain" and said the benediction.
Then he went a walkin' slow and sad
like down towards his little, lonesome
home.
Durin' the follerin' week he went TO
every person in Flintstone Holer, and in
Vited 'em 10 come to meetin' next Sum-
day. They all ducked their heads, and
told him they shore was much obliged.
And that was all he could get out OF them
to save his life.
Nobody come on the second Sunday,
neither. Falway he got up IN his pulpit,
sung one of his hymns, and ag'in preach
ed to a. empty house. Then he sung
t'other hymn, said the benediction, and
went, with his heart as heavy as lead,
down to his lonesome cabin. II shore
did look like he wasn't goin' to do no
good in Flintstone Holler-except that as
far as he knowed, he'd stopped the
fightin' by putin the meetin' house whar
had been the fightin place.

JOnesville News Letter.

Jonesville, May 13.-The weather
is rather discouraging to farmers
but if they will remember the spring
of 1881 it was late dry and very
backward, much of the cotton didn't
come up till long in June and we
made bumper crop that year.
l travelled down through Pea Ridge
and the Browns creek section last
week and / saw some fine farming
and saw some of the most prosper
Gus homes in the community. Some
of the most prosperous farmers in
our county live in this country and
they never saw Clemson college or
any other college, only on the out
side. The high cost of living dosn't
affect these men for they have q
living at home. One quaint old home
visited was that of the late James
Sinclair, near Browns Creek church,
where | saw the old time spinning
ing bars, side saddle, harness for
weaving and some of the old time
things that carried me back to the
days of my childhood, for it was not
far away that / first saw the light
and attended the first church, day
school and singing school. / passed
through the old muster ground where
commenced to muster at the age of
Is. The old places are near and dear
to me to this day.

Restland Cemetery.

For many years all those who have
loved ones resting in the "old ceme-
terry" as it is familiarly known, also
those who take an interest IN the
appearance of Bamberg and all of its
public places, have realized that some
provision must be made for the keep
ing of Restland Cemetery in a more
systematic manner Twice each year
the ladies of the civic league have
put this place in good order, but dur
ing the intervening months the grass
and weeds have grown in luxurlance,
the walks and driveways becoming
almost obliterated, and numberless
lots which belong to those who have
moved away or died, are overgrown
and the entire place has the air of
desolate spot in some vast wilderness.
But while this state of affairs has
been lamented, and everyone felt that
something should be done, nobody
did anything. At the last meeting
of the civic league though, COM
mittee was appointed to see the lot
holders and find out if they would
each be willing to pay s1.25 each year
for the keeping Of the cemetery. In
this way sufficient amount can be
raised to employ a reliable man to
keep it in perfect condition the en-
tire time At this writing, a number
have been seen and all seem delight
ed to have this burden lifted from
their shoulders in so satisfactory
manner.
But one more thorough cleaning
will be necessary before the man can
begin his duties, and next Tuesday,
Nov. 25th, has been appointed as
work day. Let every one who feels
any interest in this spot remember
to send a hand on that day, not leav-
ing the work to others, shirking your
responsibilities to someone else's
shoulders. And let every lady come
and help to oversee the work. Wag-
ons to haul away the trash are need
ed also. If you will do no more,
have your own lot put into good con-
dition But let those who say that
they will not help on cleanup day
because they keep their own lots
clean answer this question: Whose
duty is it to keep the driveways.
walks and forsaken lots? It is your
duty and my duty as we'll as our
neighbor's duty.
