How to Treat a lie. H. pr?iiy. hard to know how eat a ??eM'/lieu -ft'sfi&S?MjJ yourself You can't go out oJ| "our way to deny it, because hat puts you on the defensive, and sending the truth after a lie tim t's got a running start is like trying to round up a stain peded herd ol' steers while the| scare is on them. Lies are great travelers, and are welcome visi tors in a good many homes and no questions asked. Truth tra vels slowly, has to ]trove its idenity, and then ti lot of peoplef hesitate to turn out an agreea ble stranger to make room ior it. About tho only way I know to kill a lie is to live the truth When your credit is attacked don't bother to deny the rumors, ut discount your bills. When you are attacked unjustly, avoid the appearance of evil, but avoid! also the appearance of being t,oo| good-that is-better than usu al. Surmise and suspicion feed on the unusual, and when a man goes about his ' usiness along the usual rut (?they soon fade away for lack of nurishmcnt. Banner Ledger.

Monday, the 2d day of January, 1905, at ll o'clock was appointed for the funeral, and the body lay in the parlor of the residence of thc deceased Saturday, Sunday and un til Monday morning ll, and people flocked in great numbers to view the remains. As soon as the death wat announced every shop and place ot business in the town spontaneously closed and people stood in knots on the street corners and talked of the dreadful calamity. Large numbers of colored people sought to get a last look at their deceased friend.; Floral offerings came in profusion,' made of the most beautiful flowers in artistic- designs. Telegrams came from many private and ofllciul sources expressing sympathy for the family of the deceased and the citi zens of the county. The days were clear and pleasant, giving all an op portunity to show their respect and lovo for the deceased. Monday morning was somewhat cloudy but the crowds began to ga ther in town and visit the tomb in which tho body was to rest at ar early hour, and, before the cortege loft the residence, the streets were lined with a vast concourse of peo ple from all sections of the count} mci adjoining townB.
