It is a source of great pleasure to those of both sections who engaged in the strife or witnessed it, that long before the last of those who bore promi nent parts in the struggle on either side, the Nation has been firmly unit ed again ; and what touches or effects the honor or good name of any one section, north or south, east or west, touches and influences the honor of every other section. Glorious country is this, united to stand together for ages to come ! tin Col. Olds wrote for the Charlotte Observer that the corporation com mission makes an order that it shall be the duty of every railway to place Railroads Must Post Bulletins. due to arriye and leave under its pub'ic schedule. It is also made the duty of each railway at each telegraph station, 30 minutes before the time when its trains are due to arrive at such stations, to bulletin this fact upon the board whether said Irain is on time or not, and, it behind schedule time, to state as nearly as possible the time it Is behind. Whenever there is any indefinite delay of any passenger trin it is made the duty of the railway to bulletin at all such stations the cause of such delay and the probable continuation thereof, and the passengers on board of such train shall also be informed of probable delay. It is further made the duty of the railway to cause Its bulletin of all delayed trains to be corrected from time to time, as the entries thereon are ascertained to be incorrect. I t t t The sudden death of this able gospel evangelist on a railroad train on the Rock Island railroad near litt'e Rock, Ark., carried sorrow to thous ands and country. Key. Sam P. Jones. acters ever known, perhaps, in American life. Many have criticized his methods and manners of speech, but for every one who has expressed a bootile criticism thousand have thanked God for his life and have been Richly blessed by the truth and power of his expressions. In early 3-ears he was rather wild of habit and e.'en after he looked out upon a wideuing horizon of life he was reduced to what some would call menial labor, that of driving a dray and coal wagon. It has been related that when his father was sinking and about to die he called his children about his bedside and expressed the hope and belief that he would meet them all in heaven except one. This made a profound impression on the wild young man and soon after he was converted and then soon entered the ministry In the Methodist church. His success was not marked at first, but fcis striking originality soon secured for him recognition in high places, and for perhaps more than a quarter of a century he has been the first lec turer and evangelist in this country. His life was filled with good works. The three thousand people who met his remains at his home town, all with eyes wet in grief, were the highest testimony of his worth. Among other things the Atlanta Constitution siya of him editorially : "Sam Jones can be described, but inadequately described, by the word picturesque. He was not an ordinary man in his mental processes, his speech or his meth ods. Like all men who stand out from the mass of their fellows, he was original and self assertive to the point of aggressiveness, but he was natural and never a poseur. Those who accused him of em ploying his distinguishing argot and vehement form of expression through motives of sensationalism, did not know the man. He could not have been himself and done otherwise. He was simply plain Sam Joneg speak ing to plain, everyday people, and there is no doubt that his original and picturesque characteristics of speech and manner went far to contribute to his remarkable success as a soul-saver. He gripped the consciences of men as more conventional preachers could never have reached them. The place he filled wus positively unique ! There is no underrating the power of Sam Jones as a pulpit orator. He was a veritable human dyna mo find his magnetism electrified any audience. He was essentially a humorist by nature, and to him human nature was an open book. He knew the failings and foibles and hypocrisies and innate "cussednesa" of men, and Le knew how to shame them into a spiritual mood that made their souls receptive to gospel truths. His seemingly intemperate denun ciations and biting sarcasm were all on the surface, for the playful, genial humor would invariably shine through his fiercest philippics against poor human nature. He could make men laugh and cry almost in the Bamo breath, and those stirred with resentment at first remained to pray. He bad a wonderful rugged, uncouth faculty of striking sinners with eelr conviction of their "meanness" through their sense of humor and the pa thetic side as well. He moved more audiences to spiritual fervor and conviction, perhps, than any evangelist of modern time3. Ho was cer tainly a towering evangelical landmark in his day and generation. The personal Bide of Sam Jonea was loveable. He led the Christ life in his daily walk and conversation and among his Cartersville neighbors. V His home life was beautiful. He waa a charitable irlend to the widow and the fatherless, and his unostentatious charities were innumerable. Nearly all his life he had held an official position in the organized work of caring for the orphans of Georgia. He possessed rare qualities of head and heart, and his life was consecrated to humanitarian ideals."

SATURDAY NIGHT TALKS By P. B. Davison Rutland Vt. WASTED RESOURCES. Oct. 28, 06 (Matt. 28:6-16.) "To what purpose was this waste?" Such was the criticism of Judas, wlien a loving woman, as ail expression of her devotion to Christ, anointed His feet with a box of pre cious ointment. The penurious dis ciple had no conception of the beau tiful or the sublime, either In na ture, or in art.-tor ;ti religion. He would never have given a penny to promote an aesthetio or benevolent enterprise The Scriptures intimate that he was not only a miser, but a thief and though he professed great love for the poof he really itched to get, hold of the sheckles the sale of that spikenard, that to his mind was wasted on Christ would have brought Money he could understand, but spikenard, bah! it waa only a smell. . Society has always been afflicted with a class of carpers like Judas. There never was an effort made to sweeten the bitter cups of this world's trouble, but some sneering crltio has appeared to complain of th waste of good material which is used in the operation. The poor would die of starvation, and vice and crime would become epidemic if these people could get hold of the funds which are, accord ing to their way of thinking wasted upon the undeserving. It is impossi ble for them to realize that the hu man heart craves sympathy as the body needs bread, and that the soul hungers for love and starves without it, as truly as life is sustained by food, and perishes for lack of it. There are multitudes of people who can understand a dollar, but who cannot understand a bouquet. They know what a bag of potatoes means, but thev cannot, understand how a smile and a pleasant word, puts a song into the heart that sings all through the day, and acts as tonic amid the depressions of business anxiety and bodily weariness. The value of the aesthetic in life has not half been appreciated. In proportion as nations improve their surroundings do they rise in the scale of living. It is possible to get an education in a little red school house, whose benches are hacked, whose roof leaks, whose windows are broken whose stove smokes, whose door sags on one hinge, whose equip ment consists of a cracked black board and nubbins of chalk, but the child who goes to school in a mod ern, up-to-date twentieth century building stands a better chance of getting right views of things. The community which thinks it a waste of money to erect a well-equipped school house.and to pay for prop erly trained instructors, may save their money but it will be at the ex pense of the manhood and woman hood of the next generation. When a new church is to be built Judas always comes around. He wants no foolish display about the house of God. He declares that steeples are an Invention of the devil to rob the poor people of their hard earned money, and as for stained glass windows, the very mention of them makes it certain that we are headed straight for the papacy. His fathers worshipped in a plain, unpainted, rectangular, hill crowned, wind-swept, sun-burned meeting house, and wrhat w.as good enough for his ancestors is good enough for him! And then if he is outvoted, he buttons up his pocket at such unrighteous extravagance, and goes out crying. Waste! Waste! In the estimation of these people it is a waste of good material to bury the bright minds of Christian lands in the darkness of heathen ism, that those people may see a great light He doesn't think It un wise for the brightest and most ag gressive tradesmen of civilized na tions to push their way into heathen countries to carry on business. In their case there 13 money in it. But that a man should lay down his life instructing the Ignorant, reforming the vile, and making himself the sa viour of whole districts swarming with human beings who otherwise would live like cattle, and die like flies Judas cannot ia the least par ticular understand that. When such a woman as Frances Willard, brainy, cultured, fit to grace any position in society gives hp her life to the advocacy of what the superficial consider ah impossi ble reform, how many there are who criticise such waste of good mate rial. They say she threw her life away. On the contrary she broke the alabaster box of infinite love upon the feet of staggering humanity, and the odor of the ointment fills the world to-day. While the world stands that she hath done will be told as a memorial of her, while the women who have lived like butterflies, like them will be forgotten. There is many a delicate, tenderly-nurtured, cultivated slum worker, wearing the neat garb of a deaconess, or the characteristic attire of the Salvation Army, scrubbing floors, tending ba bies, shaking up hot pillows, com forting drunkards wives, lifting lambs out of tfce way of human wolves, arresting crime by the power of their purity, never heard of ex cept in the little circle-in which they move, who in eternity will shine as the stars forever and ever. The sneering critic says, "It is a waste!" The Son of Man says, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me!" It's unsafe to bury the dead past tetter'cremate it. 'DOWN AND LU C" The man who wins in the fight for fame, Who win3 in the war for gold, The weliin rings with his lauded name Wherever his deeds are told. Not mine to jeer when I kear him hailed ; I'm proud of his heart so stout Bat what of the fellow who tried and failed, The lellow that's "down and out?" Shall naught be said for the man who tried The goal ol his hop-'s to gain ? Who faced the battle with patient pride And lought though the fiht was vuiu ? Whose spirit lu one weik moment quailed, Wh'. fell at the last redoubt Ah, many a hero heart ha? failed, So hare's to the "d jwn and on: !" T.ie man who wins, oh, honor Lim well. And give him the praise that's due, But d in': forget tna other who fell Ere ever his dreams came true ; Yes, honor ike man whx-e wiil pre vailed, Who b. fii;d despair and doubt But give one thought to tha man who failed, The fellow that's "down and out !" Denis A. McCarthy. What the air Tells. Auburn hair means a kindly sympa thetic nature. Straight hair indicates more poer to goyern than curiy hair. Curls denote a feeble sense of right and wrong, gayety, vivacity, self con fidence. Straight black hair, growing coarse and thick, indicates more order and in dustry than mental power. Fine brown hair only accompanies excellent minds. Generally the owner has intellectual tendencies. Red hair is strongly characteristic no hallway business there. It usual! indicates a quick temper, though there are exceptions. Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen on persons of a gross nature. Its owner loves fine arts and possesses exquisite sensibilities. Hair and eyebrows difleiiug in color indicate race mixture and bespeak a wavering, unsteady nature. As a rule, smooth, fine, softly wav ing hair betokens gentleness, quietness, neatnees. Poultry and Fruit. Home !i Farm. There are no two branches 0! farm lite which pay and furnish more re laxation from the worries of every day life than a combination of fruits and poultry and the same may as truly be said of the conditions confronting the city resident who has a lot suffmently large that the fowls may hive room to take a limited amount of exercise and yet leave room for the trees to grow. Some of the finest peaches and applet we have ever seen grew on a city lot only 30 feet by two hundred feet. On this same lot, the owner kept about twenty hens, which furnished eggs for the family during the entire year. If euch good results can bs had oa a city lot, how much better can one with acres at his command expect from a larger flock and more trees ! Plant fruit trees and raise poultry and you will have less work, more pleasure and a larger income.

ANNA MUIVDEIN There can be no doubt about it that the tendency to resort to 6urgical opera tions has been too great in the past and that this harmful tendency is growing less every day. Experience has demonstrated that many aliments which seemed to require surgical operations in the past are now being cured by the use of harmless rem edies. Peruna has done as much as any other remedy to es SURGICAL OPERATIONS AVOIDED. tablish this very Important fact. Thousands of people have been con demned to undergo surgical operations. Their physicians have told them that they must either submit to 6uch opera tions or lose their lives. After this they have reported to Peruna and found relief. Other good remedies havn accom plished the can e result, but it is safe to assume that ao otiier remedy has equaled Peruna in its boneficwit work. Many of the alleged incurable de rangements of the poivis are dependent tipon catarrh. There is no cure for these except the remo'valof the catarrh. Peruna seemingly works miracles in some of these cases. The explanation, however, Is very simple. Peruna re moves the catarrh and N&tcre dojj the rest.
