3lt. Pleasant, May 20. On
Jay, May 19, 1899, nature was
in her most amiable mood, warm,
but not hot, the sun f shining
briliantly all day and ending his
career for the day by showing a
beautiful sunset. And all things
joo in the little village of Mt.
Tleasant seemed happy, -even
to show Dame Nature that
lain txnll V rt Vl W iA'
outshine a beauteous sunset.
Soon after the gorgeous hues of
mDset had j faded from the sky,
(te people bean to assemble at
the Mont Amceua Female Semin
ary to attend a public meeting; of
the Bernheim Literary Society of
that institution. Each seemed
in eager haste for each knew that
a rara treat was in store for them.
It is impossibly for us to decide
the beautiful decorations, and the
stiil more beautiful members of
the society, bo we haste to the
programme.
The president, Miss Pearl
fiendleman, called the house rto
order and- asked Prof. M G G
Scheror to lead in prayer, after
which the roll was called by the
Beeretary, Miss Enrfeman, with a
response by quotations from
prominent authors.
A beautiful programme, consist
mo; of instrumental and yocal
combinations, together with
recitations and tableaux, was
-rendered.' " . -
The hidden library consisted of
twelve volumes. These were
each represented by one or more
of th ladies. - The audience was
furnished with paper and pencils
to write the names of the books
the one giving the most nearly
complete list was to Teceive a
prize.' -
No one gave a completely
correct list, but four persons gave
eleven out of the twelve. The
four then drew lots to decide, Mr.
Eusft A Crigler winning. The
other three were Miss Lucile
Lynn and Messrs J V Sutton and
CE Moser.
After presenting the prize,
tfMch was a pretty boquet made
still more desirable by being
presented by such a lair person,
the-president' then closed the
meeting by leading in the Xiord's
Prayer. . ; " " ' . "
Then the ladies of the M. A: F.
& entertained those of the au
ence who desired to remain.
The afiair was most enjoyable
a&d shows the thorough work of
e lKiitution tis well as the
society.
Long live the Bernheim Literary

! Rev. W C Alexander, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church,
who a short time ago suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis and is
unwell, has been granted a leave
of absence from his duties until
the first of August. A purse ef
over $115 was donated by the

It is earnestly hoped that he will
recover during this time.
The ancient believe that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of scia
tic or inflammatory I rheumatism will
agree that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. It has
never been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast but demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. ; One application relieves the
Pain, and this quick reliet which it
affords is alone worth ! many times its
cost. For sale by MvL. Marsh & Co.
