And hearts no .whore KO lightly beat, , And houvou and earth so noarly moot As down hi dear cid Sumter, In an elaborate write up ot the town pl Sumter under the above caption, from | , thc lactic pen ol Col. McIntyre, he says; ;"Ir is a pleasure to record the lac? that Marlboro the banner'county ol the Stale contributed ol' her affluent resour- ' ces to produce this ?Salo ol'glory which surrounds old Sumter li kc an atmosphere j In li''- iii i nil : : line we were pleased 10 meet tin- Met ?i .

This we cherish and brood over in solitude. ?i/Wlierc is the mother who can forget the inlaht that perished like a blossom Irom her arms, though every recollection is a p.ing ? Who, when-he leds his heart crushed in thc closing ol the portals over the remains ot her he most loved would accept consolation bought by torgetlul ness ? No, thc love which survives the tomb is one of thc noblest attributes ol thc soul and in this cemetery ol Sumter 11 has lound expression in many of the proudest mausoleums, vaults and monu> ments that wc ever saw. In the number wc noticed one creeled by Dr. (Jrosland, - ol Benncttsvillc to his bride of only a lew months. We never saw a sweeter lace nor one in which the lines of heauty were more clearly drawn than that ol Mrs Crosland, and as we stood by that proud monument wrapped in admiration of thc: man we felt assured that the wile well merited this pathetic and exalted tribute." The write up closes with thanks to the young lady who called at the hotel with - a superb cquippage and gave him a drive over thc city. "The city is large hut it was the shortest ride he ever had. Could it have been otherwise with a companion entrancingly beautiful, slender asa reed, lithe as a willow, restless a wind blown JloWer, with purple shadows in her love, ly eyes, a crown ol hlack hair shading thc alabaster brow, crimson mobile lips that smiled at you with ineffable sweet ness. Oh! how vividly she brought back to me my first love, a sweet girl ot sixteen summers. She died and as I leit her sleeping in the cold and silent grave, 1 lelt it was my world removed, with every sunshine blotted out-every bright face darkened-every flower with ered-every hope extinguished-it was my first gnef."

I wonder what Miss Daisy will do1 when Mr. E McD goes off to school? - I think Mr. J. J. was very much struck on the young lady he met at the "singing" the other night. Mr. Luther Bundy went over tb ; Mr. J. F. McKinnon's place Wednes day and killed 21 birds and he pave them to Mrs. McKinnon, she Bays he can come again.

There is no doubt about it. The Powders, acting directly on the digestive organs, first thoroughly cleanses the stomach and bowels, correcting all disorders, and then good healthy appetite comes nat urally and surely. It is the most powerful tonic and appetizer on the market to-day, and when once used horsemen will have no other. Ashcraft's Powders produce that silky sheen of coat and hair so admired by horse fanciers. The Powders fatten but never bloat. Always high grade and put up in doses-never in bulk. By the use of three or four doses a week your horse or mule will not be subject to colic or any dis ease of the stomach and bowels. "i hod an old horse that was in verv had condition generally. Ho was thin and had a hlood disease that -was causing the hair to come off. I Rave the horse three doses of Ash craft's Condition Powders a day for seven days and fed him liberally. The appetite improved from thc first few doses and tho animal gained fifty-two pounds In flesh during the week I gave it th reo doses a day. Thc general health of thc animal was greatly improved by tho ase of thc powders ana ho was made almost a new horse. I most heartily recommend Ashcraft's Condition rowdcra.as I know they are a spion did tonic and appetizer.-C. C. BIKES, Livery man, Monroe, N. C." Ask for Ashcraft's Condition Powders. Package 25c.
