THE DEAD.
"Under the pur? light of the stars
The dead sleep,
Wrapped about in a silence unutter
able.
The ages come and go, like a tale that
is told;
Time stretches out to the golden un
barred gate of Eternity;
But the dead sleep on, sleep on."

here, having money on hand, we would
"rise to remark," now is the time for
Mayor Adams to look after the trans
planting of trees. On many streets
more trees are needed. On Addison
avenue, where the building boom is
now most predominant, there are no
trees at all. If adorned with good
side walks, and a beautiful growth of
water oaks Addie on avenue would soon
become the pride of the town, and
would be "a joy forever." Gentlemen

Corn to Sell and Keep.
Mr. E. L. Ryan, of the Trenton sec

half crop of good cotton. But when
it comes to corn, I'm full-handed this
year, never made a finer crop, or got a
better yield in my life; and my barns
are full-and I've got corn to sell and
keep." And he went out whistling
"Billy in the low grounds," happy as
a lark.
Trenton Lands.
On Monday last Judge Roath sold
for partition a portion of the realty of
the late L. G. Swearingen, deceased.
The old homestead, containing eighty
acres, mostly open land, was bid in by
Mr. Munroe Swearingen at $1,800. He
bought a bargain, as the late owner
could have realized twice that amount
for the place a few months ago. Tren

accordingly.

Mr. J. R. Blackwell tells us that
though this is a year of short crops al
most everywhere, yet the Parksville
section was an exception, and that
there the farmers have harvested flue
crops of corn, pease and potatoes, and
that the cotton yield is simply magnifi
cent; anl that the farmers generally
have money oh hand, andar? in better
circumstances than for years; that the
old miks are happv, and the young
folks more so; that fun and frolic run
high, and the girls sing in rag-time
notes :
"Dad's got money, money to burn,
On the crops he called the turn;
I can take my ease,
And dress as I please,
For dad's got money to burn."
And Mr. J. R. B. told us other good
news concerning the said young folks,
but we must not be too blab-mouth,
and tell ali we know until later on.
Young Hogs Most Profitable.

us in the Republican Baptist
church, of which he was a faithful

years, and by his Christ-like life

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.

your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your

impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fall to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working In pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

The fitr.r;-.-P are airar-j/it tc illustrate
different fenteres o? ii..- ???'s character.
Herc is an esaiuii?c of what is called a
dog's "tenacity cf iir.pvssiou, " vouched
for hy au Edinburgh iniaisler:
"One sacrament Cundriy the ninisftt
ift his honsc to the care vi the servants,
.rho thought it a good opportunity to
give a party. During the day the dog
(a Newfoundland) accompanied them
through tho garden, and indeed wher
ever they went, in the most attentive
manner and seemed well pleased, lu
.the evening, when the time arrived that
the party meant to separate, they pro
ceeded to do so, but tho dog, the instant
they went to thc dcor, interposed, and,
placing himself before it, would not al

On their persisting ard attempting to
use force, he became furious and in a
menacing maimer drove them back into
thejkitcheu, where he kept them unt"
tho arrival of Mr. und Mrs. Simpson."
From which it would appear that
some dogs uve Sabbatarians, At all
evente, he seems to have Leen of opinion
that revelers ?'n a 7nar.se on er.crar:cnt
Sunday were cut cf place.
Another story, illustrating the reason
of a dog, is quoted as having been told
by William Robson of PenahaW) the
owner of the ai-imal. The dog was in
the habit of going about in hansom cabs
with his master. Ono day, after being
lost, he went home by himself in a
hansom.
"The cabman rang for hi.T fare, and,
thinking he had somehow captured the
runaway, I inquired how and where he
found him. 'Oh, sir,' said cabby, 'I
didn't hail him at all; he hailed me. I
was standing close by St. Janies' church
looking out for a fare, when in jumps
the dog. I shouts through the winder.
He wouldn't stir. So I gets down and
tries to pull him out and shows him my
whip, but he sits still and barks as
much as to say, ' 'Go on, old man. " As
> I seizes him by the collar I reads his
name and address. My fine gentleman
settles himself with his head just a-look
ing out, and I drives on till I stops ai
this gate. Then ont jumps my passen
ger, a-clearing the doors, and walks in
as though he'd been a regular fare.1 "
The driving in cabs aog is by no
.means a rare variety. It is told of Lad?
Ashburnham's collie that, after jumping
into a handsom, he so plainly intimates
that he wants his collar read that, at
one cabman said, "Blowed if he didn't
ask me to."-Westminster Budget.
