The Pride of Clotheb.
Rev. Sam Jones was no stick
ler on dress. Indeed, it is said
that it was not until his fame as
a preacher had become so great
and he was called to large cities
among fashionable people, that
* he gave any attention at all to
his apparel.
Mr. Jones was asked to come
to Brooklyn, to conduct a series
of meetings for Dr. Talmage,
New York's great divine. When
Sam arrived and reported to Dr.
. Talmage, that gentleman was
somewhat taken aback wi'th the
rather seedy-looking suit of
clothes that Sam wore, and so
troubled did lie become over the
Georgia minister's dress that he
finally said to him; "Mr. Jones,
would you accept. a suit of
a clothes from me?" "Why, cer
tainly," said Mr. Jones, smiling,
and so Dr. T. accompanied him
to a haberdasher, where he was
clothed from head to foot in a
very stylish suit, topped off with
a high silk hat.
That night Dr. Talmage took
his newly-dressed evanelit to
his cromwded. talernacle, and
when t he plro.er hu arm j- i rived
introdlcedl lim) to his audience.
"This is the Rev. Samel P.
Jones, froml Geoorgia, vho w\,ill
preach for us thi'evning.
Sain Jones stood up, his tall
hat inl his hand, and said:
"Yes, Rev. Salmuel P. Jones,
from Georgia. and , this is the
big new stove-pipe your pastor
has presented me, and these
new -luds you see ni so stylish
4 'tired in are t. egalia that
.311 in Jon't I look
out of siglt '
"Now, if yoni' pastor had half
as imuch religion as he has pride
he would convert all of you sin
ners in Brooklyn and my ser
vices would not he needed."

Daily Weather Reports.
Through an arrangement per
fected between the United States
Weather Bureau and the South
ern Bell Telephone Co., more
than 25,000 Southern farmers
will receive the daily weather
reports by telephone. This plan
went into effect July 1st.
The daily weather reports will
bo furnished the telephone com
pany by the Weather Bureau,
and the report will be read to
the farmers by telephone operat
ors. At a given hour each day
a general alarm will be sounded,
calling every farmer to the tele
phone. When they are all as
sembled the report will be read.
Any farmer who is not able to
answer the signal and hear the
report has the privilege of call
ing the operator and securing
the information.
Almost every farmer's tele
phone line connected with the
Bell system has six or more sub
scribers, and by reading the re
port to each line the work can
be speedily accomplished.
This is the fiist comprehensive
ani systemati'c effort to furnish
this inlforimnation withliolt cost to
the fariers of the South. The
spread of the tolophone in the
rural districts in the past few
years has made it possi ble to
reach such a large numbe of
farmers through the Bell sys
tei, and the dissemination of
the weather news by telephone
is one of the many practical uses
for the telenhone on the farni.
The territory of the Southern
Bell Co. covers the states of
North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Vir
ginia and the southern half of
West Virginia.

In Memory
Of my darling, precious son,

born Feb. 6, 1894; died Nov.
28, 1910.
Time may pass and years may
fly,
And every fond hope decay and

And ever peaceful dreams are
set,
But my dear, darling boy I can't
forget.
There is a grief that. comfort
cannot find,
And womnds that never can
be healed,
And sorrow too deellin the hu
man heart
That can never half be re
vealed.
But 1 'vill meet my darling
boy,
Where loving kindred part no
more,
And journey with him hand in
hand
Along , that heavenly spirit
shore.
For that. sweet (lay I now am
longing.,
When grim 1)eathshall set

WeV will meet anzd embrhiace eachl

Perry,
How greatly I o Imiss thee

In that. beautifl, happy land,
Where all (Christian people
