A f mall girl about eight years was playing in the conservatory. She was sewing doll bonnets, w l < n she heard a piteous cry. Looking arouud she saw a little bird tryiDg to liy, but alas! its wing had been broken. Etta rose from the floor and went toward the bird. Lifting it up she found one of the wings bleeding. Etta bathed the bird and gave it some crumbs. She wrapped it in some flannel and laid it where she found it. Near the bird she put some crumbs for she had seen a flock of birds approaching the window. After doing this she hid and watched the birds. They ate heartilyt then came to where Etta stood. They llocked about her and sang to their heart's content, thanking her for her kindncfs. Then they picked up then comrade and flew away. Fidelis A Sad Accident. (hy c. b. c.)

Williams, unele to the deceased, July the 9th, 1903 ) Martha Glenn Cooper died on the 20th d-y of June, 1903, of consumption. The subject of sketch was born about 23 yeais ago in Bogansville Township. Union Co., S. C , and was the first-born of Susie and S. A. Gregory, and named in honor of Miss Martha and lion Glenn i D. Peake. From a child she was intel : > ligent and industrious, and made many dollars for her parents. Her health bei gan to fail when she was about 14 years 1 of age and she never enjoyed good health any more, and was a sufferer ' more or iess till her life was ended, i She joined the Baptist church at Gleni dale when she was 10 or 17 years of age. and was a consistent member of the church nn to the time of her death She married Mr. Jack Cooper three yeaia previous to her death, less one week. During this short time she was 1 permitted to live with him he was kind ' and considerate of her. She died at the ' home of her parents in the presence of all the family and other relatives and friends. She would sing, pray and exhort them to meet her in heaven. She took the hands of her brother and sisters and said: "Good bye, be good children and meet me in heaven. Aud Aunt Sallie, you have been the best friend on earth to me; you have stayed with me in all of my sickness and 1 want you to go with me to heaven." So she died a triumph mt,. Christian and was in her right miud to the last, and we should all strive to meet her in heaven and others that have gone on before. Yes, we shall meet and know as we are known. The blessing of the Lord rest adundantly upon the bereaved family and husband. Who Is He? Who is it that makes the Fe wer gallons; wears-longer paint? m . ... - LETTER FROM AN OLD UNION BOY. Far Away in Germany'?Sees Miny Things and lins Many Experiences?Letter That Will Entertain Yonng and Old. Kiel, Germ., June 28, 1903Dear : Yoar letter of the 11th inst. was received yesterday. I was glad indeed to hear frem you, for I had been looking for a letter for a long time. You said in your letter that you wrote to me in February, 1902; and addressed your letter to Augusta, Ga. At that date I was in Fort la France, Martinique. We had been gone about two weeks when that eruption of Mount Peleo took place. I wrote you last time from Naples, Italy, if I remember correctly, We stayed in Naples about twenty days. On our way up the Western coast of Italy we stopped in Leghorn, Margautta Bay and Genoa. At Genoa I saw the house in which Co lumbus was born, and many other interesting sights. From Genoa we went to Nice, France, where we were joined by the Albany. The fleet was then composed of the Chicago, (flag ship.) Cincinnati, Albany and Machias. The Raleigh joined us a few weeks later. On April 2!Uh the fleet went to Marsailles, France, to meet President Loubet on his way from Algueas, Africa. lie caine into Marseilles on the afternoon of the 30th, on a big six stack cruiser, the Joan de Arc. As she came in the President was standing on the after bridge with his staff, As we fired 21 guns and gave him three cheers he took off his hat and bowed to us. We went back to Villa, France, a small town about four miles from Nice, to meet the U. S. 3. Buffalo and get some ammunition and supplies. YVe lay there a month and then the fleet split up and the Raleigh, Cincinnati and Albany went to China, the Buffalo to New York and the Chicago and Machias left for Lisbon, Portugal. On our way we stopped two days in Marsailles to go in dry dock, and for a few hours in Gibraltar. We arrived in .Lisbon on June 5th and were Lisbon" we" Hampton, Eng. where wo were joined by the battle ship Kersargo We came from South Hampton here. The threo larger ships going around | the Northern coast of Denmark and 1 we went by the way of the Kiel canal. We steamed about twenty miles up the Elbe river and from there we went through some of the most picturesque country I have yet 'seen. The canal is sixty miles in length and is just wide enough for two ships to pass. On the afternoon of the 24th the Kaiser's yacht came in. As soon as he was sighted he was greeted with the booming of guns from all of the ships in the harbor. As he passed the ship he was standing on the forward bridge and as we gave him three cheers he saluted the ship. In all there are about twenty men of wnr anil aoaIi a?a QQ ? ?? ? ? guua in two minutes and twelve seconds, that is six hundred and sixty guns in all, so you can imagine what a roar filled the air. The King ate breakfast aboard the battle ship Ker sarge yesterday. Since we have been here we have fired over two hundred and fifty rounds of saluting cartridges which contain two pounds of powder each, making a total of 500 pounds. All of the ships have fired as many, so in all there have been over 5000 pounds of powder burned here in the last few days. Kiel is the nicest place we have yet visited, and we were royally received by the people ashore and the m sailors of the German fleet. Last *" i f oil aP #V* a vmam ? ' ^ ' uigut cut va mo uiou tuaii UUU1U UC spared from the ship were invited aboard of the German cruiser Wint zenberg by her officers and highly entertained by officers and men. If there is any ill feeling in Germany against the Americans I fail to find it. Everywhere you go here you are welcomed. In all of the public places you see German and American flags entwined. A dollar will go further hero than any place 1 have yet visited. We go from here to the mouth of the Thames river, where we are to take part in a great naval review. I think I will visit London if we get as near as that. I fear I will tire vou with my travels, so I will close f ir this tim<?. What becamo of the Union Drug Co. after the death of Dr. Smith?
