Mr. Elitor-I will certainly re

Doubtless eouto ol your readers in
time past have been caught io a trap
such aa I was in church on Sunday
last. Ali who ki.ow mo have it under
stood that I will sing in church, both
old and muBic of later date. I sing all
that comes to band if suitable for
church worship, and jost hero lot me
say Hebron has a number of as good
organist ss aoy church can furnish.
Mr Editor that word above, remem
ber, (di, how can 1 forget it. While
-tinging with tho organist, Mrs. Alma
Man liing, a beautiful now lunn wjlh
i fine choir, I was putting in tho bass
it the rato of 20 miles an hour, and
u t noticing the repeut in the middle
_>f the tuuo I popped my bass right on
through and got out and rested until
(bo orgnuist and clmir come out
uni ibero I stood liBteuiug for the
;hoir to bring up tho rear, with a new
mit on which I had purchased the day
liefere from C M Weatherly, that
prince of clothiers. It is so seldom I
get a new suit, tl at I ftlt os I stood
thero that the people were gazing at
me, but when the choir started thc
second trip I watched my dots and
made the run with them all right.

A Family Gathering.
Mr. Editor, Ou tho evening of Nov
vcuibcr 20th, 1904, wife and I in our dc?
.?lining yenrs had our children and grand
diildren (except our oldest grand daugh
t< r) with us. How it did cheer our hearts
0 lia ve them with us in our dcolioing
yea1 s as wo travel down thc sleep of
lime and not one of them halt, mumed
or blind-all healthy and enjoying life.
Should I not pay "Praise the Lord," seo-,
ing them all clethed and in their right
lilied and able to work for their living?
And we, os grandparents t-avcling on in
our 50th year of married lile aud expect
ting to be living at thc closing up of ibis
ult! world that thc inhabitant:! thereof arc
dcmg so much for our adversary, the
wicked ono.
P. S-As the above was not sent you
in lime, I will add a little moro as a co
dicil. This is Thanksgiving Duy, and I
tun full jolly for that, knowing that our
Heavenly luther has been so merciful to
1 and family to prolong our lives to this
ay. Praise the Lord for bia goodness
and" render mercies shown to us, with
cribs of fiuc corn for sustenance a year a?
head, styes weighted with fine hogs for
I bacon, potatoes if they keep, for a year's
.upply, poultry ia large quantity and eggs
br pies and cake, with boney to sell and
sweeten oar lips. Who in ibis civilized

I';om my heart praise and thanks for his
goodness.

^ AshcraJft's
Condition Powders
Makes poor horses and mules fat without bloating. It
does this by first thoroughly cleansing the system of
all impurities, allowing perfect assimilation of food,
thereby creating solid muscle and fat.
Horses and mules improve in appetite and spirits
after the first few doses, the hair sheds, and the new
coat is always sleek and glossy.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders are packed in doses,
without "filler," and good for horses and mules only.
It is a most powerful tonic and appetizer, being the
Icc of a practical veterinarian of over a quarter of a century's
ience. It is easily the foremost remedy in its class on the
lean market to-day. Price 25 cents package,
