Smith & Bristow's advertisement
"What the Fifty Third Congress Has

gotton up pamphlet with a title page
on the front cover and a clothing ad

the inside leaves telling what con

TIho great antithesis is a decided hit

out-buildings at (on1 time endangeredl
the dwelling. The circumsatances
point to the work of an incendiary

original design.
The citizens wvho live and do busi
ness north of Main Straet in Pickons
from' J. P. Carey's office to the foot
of the strcet, should ever bear in
mind the great danger they are in
from fire. The buildings are all of
wood and so close together, that a
fire once under way, means the total
destruction of that side of town.
Few wells and some of the fewv dry,
give little chance to an unorganized
buLcket brigade to (10 any~ effective
work. WVe cannot be too careful of
fire.
Dr J. B. George, accompanied by
his wvife aucd mother, .\Irs. M. D).

relatives and friends at Retreat and
then pay a brief visit to others in
Pickens county. Dr. George is a

T. w. T.
We read with pleasure the terrible
onslaught madle by the said to be local
reporter of the .Journal on one of the
mnech an ical operators of THE SENTINEL
last week. But woe would be0 glad if
the yonng man (?) would be more ox
plicit. He calls attention to, and
dwells on the looks, of '-T" of THEim
SENTIMELI. Which 'T,' brother? We
have two. Then, he says we should
correct the- mistakes in our announce.
ment column. This we defy any one
to do.
Now, in conclusion: We are so
glad to note that one of the 'T's' of
'ThE SENTINEL resembles Bomething,
and is not a mere "what is it." But
as for little 't' of the Journal, we have
never discovered anything that ro
sembled him in the least, therefore.
we will not attempt to tell what lie
looks like. T.

book how the sun shines, ahf how glad I'm
here
.Fleeting ciouds of gossamer make the heavens
moro clear.
Surely there's a portion of that mighty Mind
Up there In that blueness, int that pure sun
shine.
Here too, in this quietness, tho abode of Death
Bend thy head hn reverence, draw at deeper
breath,
Come, with lowered voices and with hearts
astill,
Talk with the departed, try to catch their
wi.l.
Look hero at this tombstone, long and smo,:h
and wide
Stretch thyselt upon it, see, hero at my side,
Straighten out thy limbs now, lay thy head to
rest,
Cross thy hands as if in prayer, here, upon
thy breast,
Like some dame of ancient days stretched upon
her tomb
Neath vaulted roofs, in mou'd'rin, atone,
awaiting for the doom,
Stiff and still in narble, cold as the bones be
neath,
Will we look as calm and still when this world
we leave?
Hut the blue sky circles *'er our heads, oh
God, look up, look up
Drink in the beauty of 'the sky, as from a
heavenly cup;
Oh, life in Death, oh Death in Life, if Death
is down below,
God 'is above and Life and Love. Why
should we look for more?
God Is here too, at our side;-note this laugh
ing flower,
Purple symbol of tenderness, a little pas
alor.-iower,
Passioni-ah, God, to suffer] and in it, see the
cross,
An emblem of Christ's triumphant death
laughing on human loss,
Smiling upon the grave's own edge. Oh, Life
in Death, oh, )eath in Life,
Come, look on its face, and look in the sky,
and wonder whst there is in Life.
But, ah, I wonder who it is who lies in peace
below?
When tihe still bones mov'd with the heart
allame, what path in life did he go?
A soldier. Ahi And did he fight well? Who
loved him? llow did ho die?
Did he hate to leave this busy world and in
this tomb to lie?
I wonder if his spirit knows that I would talk
to him?
I wonder if he hears my ,words plaintively
faint and dim?
I'll know some day. Ah, yes, some day when
the last mystery's solved,
All questions antswered and all truth from
falsehood is dissolved.
And till that day, there's life between, life glow
ing, buoyant, real,
A life of work and strength and use, and not
a life ideal.
But, there! I The sun's gone out of sightI Up,
up, and we will on,
And leave each dead in his narrow bed, to
gether, yet alone.
Blut stand up now on the old gray tomb and
laugh one ring of joy
For youth and health and glorious life-why
that alone is joy.
And I know they are glad in their boxed-up
home that we have conic to call,
Why, the old gray ghosts will laugh the most,
-will laugh, aye, one and all.
