THE CAM EH OIN COUNTY PRE-K^ ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 38. THE CHAMPION MiXEO PAINT Sold by 1.. TAC;(;ART has no superior. Fourteen years ago I painted my house with these paints and am now, for the first time since, repainting it. H. L.

Dr. Heilman will also testify as to the merits of these paints. County jail painted four years ago.

On Wednesday morning, July Ist our girls met promptly at six for their ride to Austin, not a tardy one among . them each as tastefully arranged and | hair as prettily curled as though it was a party in the evening instead of an hour of the morning, when age as well as youth likes to be sleeping. A carry all with four horses attached, a plentiful lunch in case they grew hungry by the way, and they were off to the singing of the birds, and the early morning sun shining mildly and with a pleased smile upon as wholesome, happy and lovely a lot of girls, as even he, who shines on all races, rarely sees. With a youth that comes but once in a life time, bubbling over with care-free happiness, milking mirthful comments on the commonest events of the way, and with kindly re gard for their horses, letting them walk up the hills and rest on the tops, while they filled their own lungs with the pure mountain air and viewed a scenery, which may not equal the grandeur of the Rockies, but for lovliness of wooded hill and valley is surpassed by but few sections of our country. On again with a cheerful greeting to the passing traveler and a call to the farm er in his field, who waved his hat in response and turned again to his work with a lighter heart; snatches of song that caused the robin to stop and listen to a music sweeter than his own. Down the mountain into Austin, where a good dinner awaited them; a pleas ant, visit with Borne friends and with the decline of the day, the start for home, slower and quieter, but with a deeper sense of the beauties of nature and the brotherhood of mankind, stop ping to eat their lunch at a mountain spring and to divide it with two pass ing teamsters, recognizing the great principle that true hospitality knows no class. Arriving homo in the even ing, weary but with full hearts, having learned one of the groat lessons, that a wise Creator has made so plain—boing happy makes others happy. The glorious morning after the dark night, ! when the robin fulfills his destiny with his early morning song, waking other birds up to vie with each other in sing ing praises, thereby making all the world brighter. May each member of the Candy Kitchen Club be blessed with a long life, each successive age of it as com plete in its happiness as her present is and fulfill their destinies by making the lives of those with whom they come in contact, better and happier as does the robin who has only his song.
