• THE OLD CHURCH DELL.
The old bell in the tower of the Presby
terian Church in this place has been taken
down and replaced by a new one. The fol
lowing lines suggested by its removal were
written by a Jefferson county lady :
Take it down gently,
Handle it with care.
From the old belfry,
Too low and too square.
Long has it hung there;
And memory can tell
The Past to the Present,
By the old Church Bell.
Long has it rung there,
In sunshine and rain ;
Calling the worshippers
Again and again.
Long has it rung there,
In war and in peace;
Calling the worshippers
“To pray and not cease."
Long has it ruug there,
In joy and in sorrow ;
Calling to-day to duty,
“For we know not to-morrow.”
Long has it rung there.
To call from the Manse
Our Pastor to his pulpit,
Christ's cause to advance.
Long has it rung there:
Until one by one.
A host of the worshippers
Have been called home.
Long has it rung there;
And for young and old,
To the sad, silent grave,
Funeral notes has tolled.
Long has it rung there;
The Old Sexton at last,
Worn out with life’s labors.
Belongs to the Past.
Long has it rung there,
Tho’ never attune;
We'll cherish its mern’ry
For work it has done.
Long has it rung there;
And mav we at last,
Like the old Church Bell,
In a new mould be cast.
Take it down gently ;
Give it a thought;
-uany years it uuug iucic—
Many changes they brought.
Get up its successor ;
Ana Ah! who can tell,
For whom the new bell
Will ring its first knell?
Hang up the new Bell
In a new steeple:
Ami long may it ring
For Pastor and People.
Hang up the new Bell
In a new tower ;
Anil long may its clear notes
The glad welkin go 'round.

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that he was
seriously afflicted with a severe cold that
settled on his lungs: had tried many reme*
dies without benefit. Being induced to try
Dr King’s New Discovery for Consump

of a few bottles. Since which time he has

From the Monthly Auction Trade Journal
of Mr. C. B. Rouss, the Broadway Mer
chant, we take the tribute of the son to the
memory of the sire :
“Peter Hoke Rouss, York, Pa., October
5th, 1806.
The father of this writer died on the first
day of April. Last October we celebrated
his eightieth birthday. Compared to this,
die inevitable calamities that had pursued
both father and son with relentless severity
all through life were light indeed. From
his plain, honest, earnest nature, perfectly
matched by that of the mother, adorned by
ambition, industry and enterprise, the au
thor of these monthlies inherited the qual
ities that ultimately commanded success.
Inspired by touching example and experi
ence from the earliest recollections, their
severe system of mental and physical ac
tivity had rooted itself into the very fibres
of thought an l heart and life; and, though
success was always tempered with defeat,
the day of final triumph was never for a
moment doubtful.
His la«t hours were spent upon his es
tate, Shannon Hill, Jefferson county, West
Virginia. On this historic spot the Tory
Fairfaxes lived and died, and within a
stone’s throw where old John Iirown look
ed his last upon earth, and over these clas
sic grounds the armies of Sheridan and
Custer -wept, burning fences, barns and
houses and carrying off defenceless people.
He was imprisoned at Fort Delaware be
cause his sons wore the gray, and after the
war he beg n life over again at sixty. Pluck
will beat late ninety-six out of one hun
dred. and the dose of life found him pros
perous and contented after the tragic, in
cessant, life-long struggles dating away
back to 1>(KJ! As tiie life had been crowded
with vicissitudes the end was peaceful, aud
he looked death in the face unflinchingly,
and on that beautiful Sunday, the young
aud old, black and white, civic and milita
ry of the grand old city of Winchester,
met us a mile away, and in martial step
and mournful anthem led on the hast dead
march to Eternity.
The early years of the author of this
M 'lt’.’y wore spent close by that sacred
spot and many the hour, sitting upon the
slab over the grave of Cowpcns Morgan,
his eye rested upon that consecrated ground
where rest iu perfect peace the precious,
pathetic du t of life’s cherished and per
ished affections,—My Father and my
Sl'TER-S. _

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisbunr, 111.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a running sore on my leg for eight years;
mv doctors told me 1 would have to have
the bone - raped or leg amputated. I used.

ness is located among liberal and appreciative people, and very rjbul to fi:

in announcing the opening of a Spring stock which is unexcelled in any particular, and
as a whole offers superior advantages in the way of fresh goods of the highest grade at
prices remarkably low. . .... _ , ,
We urge inspection, solicit comparison and court criticism, because we firmly believe
both goods and prices will find greater favor with careful buyers if compared with the
general line of Spring offerings.
Many seasonable novelties will be placed at your disposal, which it will be impossi
ble to obtain elsewhere, and our entire assortment abounds in fresh designs such a« will
not be generally shown in other stocks. We lay claim to patronage on the ground that
we offer superior styles and reliable qualities at money saving prices. Call early.

,4#i Accident Which Could Have Been
Prevented•
Last week Dr. Hatton, whilst driving on
the Summit Point road, was thrown from
his buggy and severely bruised. Cause: ft
pile of stones in the roadway. \\ hv put
these things so anybody may be injured and
everyone who uses the roads can be man
gled'? This custom of arranging stones
(both broken and unbroken) in the centre
of the roads is a temptation to tate. If the
road commissioners will allow this danger
ous custom, let the county commissioners
act in their capacity as police and do their
duty. Is not that a function of the Court?
It is almost as sad to be broke upon a stone
pile as to wonder why your dead friends are
killed. If there is no help, at least let the
road commissioners, the turnpike directors,
and nil the employes wear crape for thirty
days after each accident, and people be al
lowed to go free through the toll gates.—
This would be cheaper than a suit for bro
ken limbs. Citizen-.
The death of Major Ben. Pcrley Poore
removes from the scene of public life in

and popular persouages. A veteran news

Major Poore had an unusually large circle
of acquaintances, among whom he was de
servedly popular. His fund of political
and social anecdotes, covering a period of
nearly half a century, was unusually varied,
and his rcminiscensces entertained a host of
friends and newspaper readers, besides those
who have perused the collection in book
form of “Reminiscences’' of the national
capital.—Baltimore Sun.

Mr. Cross was formerly connected for many
years with the Government works at the Ferry.
His long life wa« marked by a high sense of
justice, truth and honor. He was manly be
cause lie was virtuous; and his virtues lifted
him to a high place in the esteem, the confi
dence and the atrections of all who knew him
well. 15ut lie shrank from notoriety and pub
lic offices,—for lie was an humble man. He
fulfilled the requirement: “ Let another man
praise thee and not thine own mouth." In
latter years he joined the Presbyterian Church
in which his humility and honesty were still
displayed in declining office to which he had
been elected by the congregation. Disease in
vaded his mortal house several years before its
termination in death and left him, as he some

loved and honored him; a wife who, likehim
self, has been sadly aillicted by years, two
daughters, and a son to mourn their loss, yet
not without hope-“ Blessed are the dead
which (lie in the Lord.” _

Square Dealing is the Secret of our Business Success.
These are the words of a world-famed merchant. We have said so much ourselves
to the same offect that there’s nothing left but to admire the terse and excellent language
iu which an honorable and marvelously successful business man puts the familiar senti
ment. There’s nothing like getting at the very root of things. Words even abbreviated
often stand right in one’s way. If you look again at that crisp and shining sentence
you’ll see it came from a keen and fertile mind. It is the breaking through the shell of
familiar speech and getting at once to the kernal. As a rule the keenest expression of
thought is the product of one who studies, labors, works! A bettter example is rarely met.
Honest Dealing is the Highest Business Intelligence.
It pays to tell the truth; our goods have become famous through that. Our prices
are THE LOWEST, our methods 'i'HE HIGHEST. The colossal business we did last
year proves that. And it proves this: Our large purchases for our several stores enable
us to buy close, aud our immense salts make it easy for us to give you the benefit of our
cheap buying. In progressive imicas we recognize no equal in this valley because we
have none ; and our present stock proves the claim. It’s hardly the thing to say, buy
from us ; but this much we can say, and ought to: See the cheapest, the greatest, the
most varied, the most complete stock of goods in the valley before buying, and that
means see OURS.
