J' The memorial service at Livers' 'l it Bridge this year will possess the novel t, feature of ail address bv a woman. ( , v i Mrs. Virginia D. Young will speak i; on the subject: "The Women of A the Confederacy." Mrs. Young has h a grand theme, and, with such a (l subject, she ought to be able to make an interesting speech. . * t * * Let us hope that the political dis- 11 | j missions this year, both in the State and county^campaigns, will be on t the plane of deeeucy. There is no e reasou why political speeches should :l be so dirty that ou r wives and daugh- J ters cannot listen to them, and the ^ people should demand that every i candidate avoid mud-slinging and J . foul language. There is room for 1 great improvement along this line. * Any man who cannot behave as ai gentleman should not be allowed to t speak, 1 (i * * * Consistency. 5-\'. 4 * Every member of Christ's visible church t has publicly declared his belief in God, . and in his son, Jesus Christ, and in the (j Holy Ghost, and in the church of God. j He has also declared his belief in the v-'" Bible as the word of God, and has declared his purpose to make it his rule of faith and practice. This is the very least that t a real Christian can profess to believe. A faith that does not go this far would not admit him to the communion of any church, nor will anything short of this admit him into the kingdom of heaven. Ordinarily, men are right careful of ^ t < their reputation for veracity and consist- g ency; and a man who is not, can hardly be considered trustworthv. How then are we to account for the conduct of so ^ many members of the church? The t only answer is that we are only playing at s religion. As children sometimes say, we ? just "make like." When Elijah would prove the sincerity of the Isrealites who had professed faith in God, he said "if God s I be God, follow him; but if Baal, then fol- t low him." This would at least be con- t sistency. WhHe our God is a God of jus- t tice and will judge us at the last day ac- < cording to our works, lie delights also in j mercy, and offers it to all who will seek j him through his Son. The best Christian, j not to say the most inconsistent, realizes ( that he stands in constant need of God's ( ? mercy and grace. Should there come a time in his experience, which often will come, when he feels that his evil ways t have separatal between him and his God, ' his cry will be "0, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even ] to his seat! I would order my cause be- ( fore him, and fill my mouth with argu- ^ ments. I would know the words which . i he would answer me, and understand , ? what he would say unto me." Surely it , is no new thing under the sun to say that , a true Christian will seek God's presence j and love the place where His Honor ^ tdwelletli. The Psalmist said, "I would , rather be a doorkeeper in the house of 1 my God than to dwell in the tents of , wickedness." Again 4'I was glad when t they said unto me, let us go unto the , Lord." This was because he knew that in God's house was where His people , would be honored with the Divine Presence. This same God is "the same ( yesterday today and forever." His promis- j es are many in which he declares liimsMf , present with his people when they meet , to worship. "We quote one significant . passage: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the < midst of them." If it should beannounc- , ed that President McKinlev would attend . i prayermeeting in the Methodist church ; on Wednesday night the church could not t ...

But you say, I don't particularly like the man who is to lead the meeting. His talks are not entertaining to me. Then you go to church because of your respect of a man or to be entertained by ' his eloquence, and not that you may worship God. Eloquent men have no monopoly on the Divine Presence. Brother, ] sister, be consistent. Say you do not be- . lieve that Christ is present with his people when they worship, or admit ypu do i not care to meet him. O, what is to become of such inconsistent church members? "I would thou wert cold or hot, and because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will spew thee out of my mouth." "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion." "Now therefore, fear the j Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth, and if it seem evil, or useless unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve." Josh. 24, 14, tl?/\ii Oft O lOU'll] JLO. ^ vuv/u u? v i? jvn vt. T. C. O'Dell. A.

Of course, Mr. Kipling brings to bear an ir resistibly funny, but withal a highly ingenious, philosophy in describing the peculiarities of the armadillo. He evi dently found enjoyment in writing these stories?he calls them "Just So" stories 1 ?for he has interwoven more inimitable humor into his account of the way by which the armadillos came into being, and the others of the series, than in anything else that has come from his versatile pen.

Denmark, March, 20.?It is difficult or one to vaguely estimate or to slightly appreciate the vast amount of genuine deasure that accompanies the opening >f spring. It is a delightful season, gnuk lal in its approach, yet increasing in beauty until earth, air, plants, and animals eeni to be over-burdened with exuberance. It is the season in which man begins to realize his l/opcs, gain faith in lis God. The flickering waves of heat iecn across the plowed held reminds, us hat a great event of nature is about to ake place, which will materially affect he whole world. I allude to the crossing >f the tropical circle by sun, the great iromise front the Master that you may riant the seed and reap the harvest of jread. Many in this section have that material faith, for they have put in hunlreds of acres of corn during last week. The absence of the usual throng of people on the streets suggests the idea that he farmer is the world's frieivl- The lierchants and clerks are seen on dress parade or lounging in the meadow lolling in the sunshine. The peculiar.smell >f fertilizers has been swept away and on the hillside may be seen the "nigger and the mule," and perhaps the forty acres, ill of which are under the careful supervision of the landlord. The "nigger" ?oes at his work cheerfully and probably aever thinks of "Mr. Lincuni" or traditional promises. The absence of customers makes it possible for merchants to formulate new plans, discuss new enterprises and time in which to recognize the small demands of the community. Sattirday is a lively day for all merchants. Yet, farmers are spending their money writh great caution. Burglars have made some daring raids >n stores in this town, during the past fortnight, which have somewhat aroused the thinking public. The strong arm of the law will begin to strike down the 'night hawks" ere long. Fine work is being done at the high school by teachers and pupils. The school has "a tine, growing library and me of the best reading tables in the State. Patrons are enthusiastic over their advantages, and are ever on the ilert for the material progress of what low seems very successful. Dkr Unterzeichxer. Olar 011a podria. Olar, March 2G.?Mr. Louis Schcider ivas married at Bamberg 011 the 17th instant. He "tuck" Miss Eugenia Tucker. Him Miss Tucker also "tuck." A fearful accident occurred last Friday at P. H. Starrs steam mill near town. The log tram is a down grade approaching the mill from the west. Four mules pulling a car heavily loaded with logs, thirty to forty feet long, were approaching the creek trestle without a driver to manage the brakes, causing the truck to run at a fearful speed down the hill. One mule was knocked down, the truck passing over him and leaving him apparently dead, but afterwards reviving. The next mule was knocked from the trestle, his hind foot was caught between the logs and the bridge leaving him suspended in midair, where it hung until death relieved the poor animal of its sufferings. The other two escaped. Her friends welcome Mrs. V. S. Lawton, who is here visiting her daughter, Mrs. N. F. Kirkland. Mr. James McNab has three pretty setter pups. On Sunday morning lie found the pup frothing at the mouth and giving unmistakable evidence of a case of hydrophobia. He wisely shot his puppy. Mr. N. A. Patterson left Olar to-day for his home at Wethersbee, Barnwell county. He has given general satisfaction as a teacher, and there were seventy-four pupils on the roll of the school, with an average attendance of thirty-live per day. Another painful accident has occurred here. The little daughter of Mr. Samuel Hutto was out in the lield around some fire. Turning her back to the fire her ilress was ignited. The parents of the girl being near, succeeded in extinguishing the flames, they each receiving painful burns. The attending physician considers the recovery of the little girl as extremely doubtful. P. RISE IN REI) SPRINGS. Pauses a Young Clerk to Take an Earthward Tumble. Herbert Rennaird, one of the cleverest you in: fellows in town, is chief cook and bottle washer in .1. A. Beazley's furniture store. He is a lirst-class clerk, but there an* many of the tricks of the trade he has yet to learn. On Saturday Mr Beazley received a dozen wire mattresses, which were mashed down to a thickness of about is inches and tied with rope. Not knowing of tiie great force of the springs, Herbert got upon the bundle on his hands and knees and began cutting the ropes. All wi-nt u i?H nnt il the knife severed the last rope, when Herbert quickly left the earth ami started on a sudden journey to what he supposed was the better land. After reaching a height .of 10 or 12 feet his course changed, and the downward llight begun. In the latter he cut a swipe through a maple shade tree, knocking the back oil* a dresser, broke three chairs sitting on the sidewalk and finally reached terra tirma bearing some dozen cuts and scratches. The mattresses, when released,! llcw in all directions, and it is said one; landed on the courthouse portico. Herbert says lie thinks this is the final decree in the trade.?Lancaster (Ky.) Record. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using t'hainberlain's Oougli Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of ni\ family or myself begin to eat eh cold we I begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away Ibi a doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth. ? P. S. Mearkle, (ieneral Merchant and Farmer, Matfie, Bedford county, l'a. For sale bv all druggists and medicine dealers. Elirhardt Etchings. Under the supervision of our efficient marshal, Mr. Frank Snider, our streets f are now being worked. The new street from Mr. Lawton Bishop's to Mr. Wesley Copeland's has received some attention, but not enough yet; the stumps ought to be removed and the bridges made more safe. Surely the town council sees that good streets are indispensable to a growing town. Then the only excuse that can be offered is a lack of money, and atlimsy one, too. If two dollars per capita for street duty is not enough to keep the streets in proper shape, then other means for raising more money should be resorted to; make a special levy, or make the street tax three instead of two dollars. Yes, and we know of other things on which public money could be wisely spent, other than roads and streets; schools for instance. It has always been conceded by fair-minded men that the school is the greatest factor in the makeup of a town. Kill a school and the town dies of itself. "We are not bragging, but merely stating facts. Five years ago our school was founded; then there was one store here, now there are ten, and business has increased more than a hundredfold. Of course, we know that our school did not do all this by itself, but it has helped. Has the town ever helped the school? The echo answers "has it?" Why not vote a special school tax, and thus give the railroad and other taxable business enterprises, that we helped to make and are helping to maintain, an opportunity to help us? We are not begging help, for the school has been self-sustaining for live years, and we suppose will continue so, but we believe public taxation for school purposes the best thing to he done for the town 01 iuirnarut. Mrs. T. D. Jones and little son, Earle, returned home from her mother's last Thursday. We gladly welcome Master Earle to our town, and we expect to se. him enter school in a week or two. lie is just beginning his pilgrimage, and if, when his race is run, he measures up to the standard of Joseph II.

W. lloggard, the blind elocutionist, was here last week, and was to have delivered a lecture in the school house Friday evening, but think the engagement was called off 011 account of the inclement weather. About two weeks ago Lucia Copeland. the youngest daughter of Mr. .1. F. Copeland and a pupil of our school, was stricken with paralysis.

McELREPS Wine of Cardui makes women beautiful and healthy. It strikes at the root of all their trouble. There is no menstrual disorder, ache or pain which it will not cure. It is for the budding girl, the busy wife and the matron approaching the change of life. At every trying crisis in a woman's life it brings health, strength and happiness. It costs $1.00 of medicine dealers. For advice in cases requiring special directions, address, giving symptoms, " The Ladies' Advisory Department,'' The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.
