FLORENCE,

An old wooden one story bull
ding belonging to R. G. Berry,
of Florence, and used by an in
dustrious one legged negro
John Berry, pressing" room
burned down on last Tuesday a.
bout dusk. The negro lost every
thing he had in the building.
1t is said the cause of the fire
was the reflling of a lamp with
gasoline by mistake for coal oil,
by some one who went into the
old building near dark.
The Citizens Bank building
which is brick, and stood just 15
feet from the burning building
lost the fine heavy glass. in its
four windows on that side. The
windows are being replaced now.
The Taylor brothers, John and
William, have sold their, fine saw
mill in Florence, to the Smith
Lumber Company, of Magee.
Repairs and improvements have
been made about the mill yards,
and rapid cutting of timber is
forging ahead.
The management of this mill
is in the hands of DR.. Williams,
of Jackson.
Florence is recovering rapidly
from the colds and the grippe
which has held down so many of
the people for the past 6 or 8
weeks. There was not any
very serious case during the
time.

His little Let.

There were some interesting episodes
In the life of Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place Of an AZ
ghanistan town he was fired at by q
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared TO take no
notice OF the incident, merely remark
Ing, "Thats all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. lie still thought that the
ameer was treating serious matter
with less consideration than 1t deserv
ed, but thought 1t advisable to say no
more on the subject. About week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length
Sir Charles said, "Your highness has
been busy of late" ooh, no." replied
the ameer; 'thcy are your little lot"
He had seized all the members of the
would be assassins family and hanged
every one Of them.

There are only two kinds of people in
the world-the people who live in the
shadow and gloom and those who live
on the sunny side Of the street. These
shadowed ones are sometimes called
pessimists, sometimes people Of melan
choly temperament; sometimes they
are called disagrecable people Bat,
wherever Ahey go, their characteristic
Is this-their shadows always travel on
before them. These people never bear
their own burden, but expose all their
wounds to others. They are all so
busy looking down for pitfalls and
sharp stones and thorns on which to
step that they do not even know that
there are any stars in the sky. These
folks live on the wrong side of the
street. And yet it is only twenty feet
across to the other sidewalk, where
sunshine always lies.-Newell Dwight

Be Natural.

Holmes says that there are six peo
pie present whenever two meet in con
versation-the real A, the real B, A as
he sees himself, B as he sees himself
A as B sees him and B as A sees him
The remark comes back when one
goes out upon the street and considers
himself and the other people who pass,
particularly those who seem on the
slippery road to success. 1t is not they
themselves who go by: 1t Is what they
would have other people think them.
II they are young and Inexperienced
they must tighten up their faces with
an artificial solemnity; If they are get

young men: "Be natural Live or die,
sink or swim, survive or perish, but be

The Lure of Far Lands.

With d reasonable capital, youth,
strength, character and a knowledge
Of the language fortunes can be made
relatively easier on the frontiers ol
civilization than at home. There are,
however, many priyations to be borne
You are away from friends. Mails at
best come once a week. News is
scarce. Daily papers exist only in
metropolitan towns, and the data they
contain are meager. In many locali-
ties fresh vegetables cannot be had
Drinking water Is positively danger
ous Fleas, bugs, mosquitoes and a
host Of winged, singing, biting insects
are present to annoy during day and
night. Most hotels are bad and the
food strange, unpalatable and poorly
cooked.
For women but few real opportuni
ties exist. / know of but two women

are perhaps the same number Of doc

proportions Of the fair sex follow com

Africa caste, the system of "purdah"

inferior to man have retarded her
progress.-W. L. Aughinbaugh in Les

Divorce. In Ancient Rome.

In the earlier period of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time Of
the Sultan wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sep
arate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth, priest and priest
ess being present. AS ON the day Of
marriage, cake OF wheaton -four was
presented to the husband and Wife,
but instead Of sharing 1t between them
they rejected it. Then instead Of
prayers they pronounced formulas of
strange, severe, spiteful character, by
which the wife renounced the worship
and gods Of the husband From that
moment the religious bond was broken,
and. the community of worship hav-
ing ceased to exist, the marriage with
out further ado was forever dissolved
