ft i Second Section. {! VOL XXVI. MIT IS FINISHED" ) Thoughts Perued From the Funeral Sermon of Mrs M. I. McCracken of Myrtle Beach. BY J II OKEEN. One of tho most agreeable scr aes observable upon this earth is a loving peaceful and Christ.an family, where truo friendship comes into draw more closely the bonds nature, where the individual resembles the human body.' . Where if one portion suffers, all the other members suffer. If one member be honored all the T # 1. M WAM nn members rejoice. n one IIJtJLUUOI UD . all the members mutually syrapa- I thizo. Every care is divided, every sor-1 row is sharod equally and mostcheer I fully, I Each joy on discovery is rodoub-l led by true fellowship and full communion. I Mutual confidence continually pre-1 vails. Consolation and succor are! reciprocally tfiven and received. To such a si^ht God himself often I callr attention in his own Word, Behold how ^ood and p asant a I thip^/ it is for brethren to dwell to-1 gethor in unity (oaeness.) Such an I effect is most fragrant, and as sacred as Hea/enly ])erfume, a' as re-1 vivintf as a breath from Heaven. The) un wise and unredeemed prize! stekors of this world, are running! after ^uilded baubles, but when rW.mtviG tfems have soared j above the reach of humanitie s snort i arm, and fading ambition, with a| heart broken cry,oh! so 3?"ily,let us go I home. Let ail remember that true) happiness is found in peace and! quietness, never in noise. Happi-1 nets which is only another word fcrl contentment, de{ snds more upon I the cheap and common things of I e^ery day life, than upon things sin I guJar, far-fetched and strange. Hap I piness is not an exotic imported I from some strange and foreign land;! but a plant which may be grown in I our own fields or in our very door I yard. The poor more often possess! it than the rich, The servant morel of ten has it than his master. The] mechanic as often as his nobleman. I It adorns the cottage as well as the - palace; satisfaction increases with ^''Hnfluence or wealth; the brow of emi I f&j&ence often clouds, and the heart) f Jfeighs for a patter of feet of other) :days that echoed from room to room over carpetless floors. "Ah! happy) vale, how much sorrow and anxiety) I have sheltered thee from while hid ) ing in thee." "Better is a. dinner) ?* iK. than a stalled ox ) W [JHlt; Iiy.v ?, where hatred is." "Better is a dry j morsel and quietness therewith, I than a house full of sacrifices! and strife." Each individual! should remember that he or she is sent into this world to act his or her I part faithfully, patiently, and well. I This part is not, or cannot be finish I ed until God closes our actions in death. This part can be most beau-1 tifully, solomnly and perfectly car-1 ried out or finished, only in the marl ried relation. Your part may he of a public nature and splendid; mine I more obscure and retiring. Yours! to help bring a family intoexistence, I mine to provide food, shelter and I clothing for it. Yet another, to I educate, christianize and fit for eter I nity. Let all remember that this! responsibility is grand, sublime, yetl yea awful. Let dd father say before his God, you have given me I this family, I will provide all things necessary for their health, comfort and welfare, save their religious life I and spiritual training that I will I leave with my wife and the minister. I This is treason, without heart, sense I or reason. God is not a hard bull a just and exact Master, no life or! family is finished either in yourl judgment or God's, who lives v. th I out faith or repentance or Godly! piety. God will surely call a halt I in his own way and time, to all such! people. If we neglect our duty in | this respect, God will quickly put us! into a new environment, whore He can do the workHe demands through other and more spiritual hands. He ?L~ ?**.iM (rfnw towards the "Fin WUU HUUiu ^ ished," life let him take hie model from Jesus, who clothed his ("vine person with a common humanity in order to bring himself near us and yet not over awe us from him through fear or superstition. His f whole life was one unbroken series v of unbroken goodness, usefulness and charity, who in His complica-) ted bounties never forgot to show most clearly how man was composed of both a soul and a body, and He was near a finished product, until both were fully developed. Note the methods of procedure of work by our most adorable Master, Je- ' sup, who after he taught the multitudes of spiritual things first, then he provided them with the physical necessities of life. The devil and men reverse this order and play their cards with great skill saying > <4I have no time for these things." Jesus shouts down the ages in tones of thunder, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added." He refused none for being ignorant, Was impatient with none for being ilttf J s a *low or dull, despised none who | were scorned by the world, slighted none or rejected them for being sin- < ners, He knew Judas needed the sop more than John, the beloved, and he . readily gave it to him, He heard the cry of all who others cautioned to keep still. He healed sickness as well as forgave sins. He gave bread as cheerfully as the bread of Life, that soul and body might share eauallv in the "Finished Life." * ?T ^F=1F] FarmandRoad Improvement jjl INI SOLVE CORNER POST PROBLEM Use of Heavy Stone or Concrete Poet Will Be Practically Everlasting? Method la 8hown. An old method of sotting a firm corner post, but one not known by everybody, la the "dead man" way, which is fully described and illustrated by Carl Iirann, of Linn county, Kansas, In the Homestead. The corner post is sot and the brace extended to the bottom of the second, post in the usual way as shown in Fig. 1, "but the guy wires from the top of the second post pass on both sides of the brace and of Fi&.t. the corner post near the ground, and being crossed back of the post pass around a large stone or piece of durable wood buried in the ground. These wires are then twisted between the posts to make them tight and hold firmly in place about the brace and corner poet. A corner so set cannot pull up. However, as the best galvanized wire will rust off In a few years In the ground the life of such a corner Is not so long as may bo desired. Th? use of a heavy stone or concrete post set In the same manner without the "dead man" will be practically everlasting, but In many cases the cost of the stone or concrete iggggl g if W- -ii^rr n ' Fig. Z. post, or some other consideration, makes the plan Impracticable. The following method (shown in Fig. 2) has been successful where it was Impossible to dig deeply. Three poste were set at a distance of ten or twelve feet apart. Then the brace and guy wires were attached to the second and third posts in the manner usually employed between the corner and second posts. A guy wire was run from the top of the second post to the corner post at the ground and a stout board or 2x4 nailed to the upper ends of the first and second posts. The wire of the fence was then stretched to the second post and wrapped around It. Th*? flDflrn between that and the cor ner post was closed with fencing boards or wire, as was most conv* nlent. MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS Cannot Bo Kept In Proper Condition Unlets Kept Well Drained and Free From Holes. No earth road can be maintained in good condition unless It be so constructed as to drain well, and unless it be kept free from ruts and holes. The best method of maintaining an earth road, especially a prairie road is by the systematic use of the road drag. A sand road Is never good un 1 der any circumstances, but certainly ' is not improved by crowning. A sand road is at its best when moist, so It should be left flat. No one wants a ' sand road, so, If possible, clay should 1 be added to, and mixed with the sand, ' making what is known 48 a sand clay 1 road. 1 The old way, and It is used today by 1 many, of filling a mud hole with brush with a little earth on top, cannot be too strongly condemned, and Is only permissible In cases of emergency, | when It is impossible to drain the hole ( or to get sand or stone to All It. The { overseer or foreman should in dry weather center his work on such places until tne roan is raised 10 a sufficient height to drain well. Many overseers have brush hauled two miles to fill a mud hole, when sand la with* In shoveling distance of it. If farmers do not take tr community Interest in the improvement of the roads and put their shoulders to the wheel we will surely remain "stuck In the mud." . ,,mm i ' ? pnwj CONWAY, S.
