Hill lies buried the poet Museus who was believed to be i•i T 1 °, r Pheus. It was he who | introduced and and fostered religious I poetry in Athens. On the top of the | hill is the monument of Philopappos. a citizen of the ancient city. The sculptured work of the monument is hue and represents many subjects. On the Nymphs’ hill, nearby, is a semicircular structure crowned by a wall of enormous blocks. It is the rnyx, the ancient forum where Demosthenes delivered his speeches, and from which his eloquent voice was so often heard. The far-famed platform is still there. It is a projecting square block 11 feet wide from right to left, and a staircase leads to the platform. Each of us stepped on the platform and stood for a minute. But the inspiration of Demosthenes’ eloquence fell on none of us. “Ancient of days! august Athena! where, ‘where are thy men of might, thy grand in soul? Gone—glimmering through the dream of things that were. First in the race that led to glory’s goal; they won, and passed away.” Me climbed Mars’ Hill where the Areopagus met, and where St. Paul preached before the judges, that great sermon we have recorded in Acts 17 :22. In the Ceramicus, or ancient cemetery repose the bones of Pericles, There still remain many monuments in memory of the dead.'They usually consisted of a large marble slab on which were figures carved in bas-re-lief. The figures represented the departed hastening joyfully away, as if upon a.journey, while sorrowing relatives sought to detain him. I imagine they were portraits. To judge from these, the ancient Greeks looked upon death as a joy conferred on the departed, while deep sorrow was the part of those left behind. We saw many more of these monuments when we visited the Schlieman Museum, where there is everything of interest to the antiquarian or historian. But of the beauties and ruins, the crown of all is the Acropolis. Acropolis means the highest part of a town, and here it is a hill at the northwest corner of the city, which anciently contained the citadel and chief temples. It is accessible on the western side only. In ancient times all civil and religious processions came up this marble roadway. The entrance was through the Propylaea, or vestibule. It was 40 feet deep, built entirely of Pentelic marble and had five gates abreast. Even the ruins are grand. On your left, on the edge of the citadel wall, is the smallest temple of Nike Apteros or Wingless Victory, reconstructed from its ruins in 1835. The bas-reliefs relate the story of the battles of Platea and Marathon. This too recalls the sad death of Aegeus. His son, Theseus, went to combat with the Minotaur, telling his father that if victorious, on his return he would change his black sails to white. He was victorious but forgot to change his sails. Aegeus stood on the steps of the temple of Nike eagerly watching for the first sight of the returning sails. When he saw they were black he thought his son had perished and in grief threw himself over the wall and was killed. From this point a fine view is obtained. Before you lie Phaleron, Piraeus, Salamis, Egina, Corinth and the Islands. On the left and near the wall of the Acropolis is the beautiful ruin of the Erecthionor temple of Arectheus. The sculpture of this building is the finest of any building on the Acropolis. It has three porticoes or porches, of colonnades. In one of the porticoes the columns are figures of women dressed in long garments and supporting the roof. They represented women of Caria who were the most beautiful of that time, and from these we get the term used in architecture caryatides. But five figures remain. The one carried off by Lord Elgin is replaced by a terracotta figure. The interior of the Acropolis was adorned in every alley and corner with fine statues of a great number of divinities. The statue of Athene was the most striking. It was about 70 feet high, and as it was placed on this hill, her spear and helmet could be seen at a great distance. When Athens was threatened with war, that o-reat spear was raised (by machinery) and the people flocked from the county and came from the sea to render her aid. As the Acropolis is the crown of Athens, so the Parthenon is the crown of Acropolis It is 227 feet long, 110 feet wide and the columns are 6 feet in diameter at the base and 34 feet high, the total was 66 feet from roof to base. But ypu are all so familiar with pictures of the Parthenon you know just how it looks only it is grander and more beautiful than the 1 When the Romans secured Athens the temple of the Parthenon was robbed of its ornaments. About A. D.,600, it became a Christian church and the interior walls still show the frescoes of that time. After the capture of Athens in 1456 bv the Turks, it became a Mosque. M hen the French bombarded Athens they threw a shell on the Parthenon, then used bv the Turks as a powder magazine. The explosion which followed killed many Turks, destroyed the roof | and many columns and wrought great havoc. All these buildings are con- , structed of pure Pentehcon marble., The Turks were such vandals they , burned the marble and made lime, j Now a custodian guards the ruins, and a great scaffolding covers the

front of the Parthenon where an attempt is being made to restore the building to something of its former magnificence. In this place history and mythology both claim our attention. And if one is ignorant of both, these majestic ruins show that this corner of the world and these people have held a great place in the events of the world. We can hear Perielis exclaim with pride: “0 Athens, divine city of our glory!” Hattie Studabaker. Notice of Dissolution. Notice is hereby given that the firm of J. Gloss & Son is hereby dissolved this fifth day of October, 1899. 30-3 Miss Reisen. of Berne, has accepted a position in Kern, Brittson & Beeler’s Big Store. She may be found in the dry goods department. Let no one suppose that because the days are slightly warmer, with evidences of haziness, that Indian summer has come. According to the old time method of reckoning, this favorite semi-season came after the first flurry of snow, which was called by the pioneers squaw winter. According to this reckoning there has been neither Indian summer nor squaw winter. It is not peculiar, as not infrequently neither is experienced in this latitude. Glorious News. Comes from Dr. D B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes: “Four bottles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent. This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. Its the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion builds up the strength. Only 50 cents. Sold by Page Blackburn, druggist, guaranteed.

Os Holthouse, Callow & Co. o A farmer’s wife near Pennville while out feeding chickens last week, dropped an earring, which was quickly ! gobbled up by one of the fowls. She could not pick out the particular chicken so killed them one by one — twenty-seven in all but failed to find the lost earring. Then she began to look around and found it in the grass where the old hen had dropped it. They are now serving chicken in fifteen different ways at every meal at that home. A Lima man’s testimony. I have excellent results from the use of Foley’s Kidney Cure. It relieved my back-ache and severe pain over the hips. It toned up my system and gave me new vim and energy. I regard it as an honest and reliable remedy for all kidney diseases. It makes no false claims but does what it says when given a fair trial. I certainly recommend it. Wm. Finn, 447 Elida Road, Lima, Ohio. Holthouse, Callow & Co. o The W. C. T. U. will hold a special meeting next Saturday, Oct. 14, with Dr. M. L. Holloway. Mrs. M. Gilson will preside. The devotional exercises conducted by Mrs. Brandyberry. A discussion of the famous soliloquy of Hamlet will follow, with particular reference to the opening phrase. Refreshments will be served by Mrs. Alleger and Mrs. Buhler, assisted by Mrs. Holloway. The annual election of officers will also lie held. All members of the local union, and any others who have ever worked with the W. C. T. U. are particularly requested to lie present.

I T. A. Lee’s insect powders are 1 guaranteed to destroy all insects.; Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. 29.3 There are elections in a number of ' states this fall, and on account of the | fact that the presidential election [ comes next year, there will be a great | importance attached to them. Six; states elect governors Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio,Kentucky, Miss- i issippi and lowa. Pennsylvania elects ' a state treasurer, two justices of the supreme court and one judge of the j superior. In New Jersey and New York elections for local officers will be | held, but as no state officers are to be i chosen the result is of slight general interest. Discovered bv a Woman Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this I country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and ' could not sleep. She finally discover < ed away to recovery, by purchasing ' of us a bottle of Dr.' King’s New Dis- < covery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Phus writes W. C. Hamnick <& Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Regular size 50c. and 51.00. Every bottle guaranteed. The new two dollar certificate has just been received l>y a local bank. It is a very pretty bill, much simpler in design than the other silver certificates of the same denomination. It has the vignette of George ashington in the center near the bottom of the bill. This is in black. The bill proper is in a substantial shade of green. The large figure two is in blue. There can be no mistake made in the denomination on this account. The reverse side of the bill is green and smoky white. It is plain and very attractive in its simplicity of design.

J. H. Hardison and wife drove up 'from Geneva Tuesday bringing the I former’s sister, Mrs S. W. Collins of i Caribou. Maine, who was an Erie pas ■ senger to Chicago, and from there will [go to Los Angeles, California, where I relatives reside. The number of men who fail on ac- ! count of lack of courage is enormous, i says Shoe and Leather Facts. The i number who would refuse to let go of a dollar if they knew positively that it . would bring back two is astonishing. Such men merely exist. They don't ! live. They never really amount to i anything. The men who win are the ' men who think out the right course to pursue, and then back up their con victions with their last penny and their last ounce of energy. The first goods that John Wanamaker ever sold brought him 835. He delivered his goods in a wheelbarrow. He collected the 835 and went directly to a newspaper office and planked it down for advertising space. Some men would have spent 81.50 for some cheap dodgers and “saved” the rest. They would have been wheelbarrow merchants today.
