What we Believe. 1.We believe in going to the bottom IIo

of things-except it may be the well, dithe river, the mill-pond, sod certain asother places. In farming it is essen-tial, and deep plowing the secret of Ifsuccess. gI

We believe in large crops of every- %Ithing, grown on small areas, except hiit be a crop of weeds or bad habits. atThe latter ought to be widely distrib- wated and few in a bilL P(eWe believe that a fertile soil has L

life and an indefinite amount of vitali- a:ty-an animating spirit that presides piover its destiny. It must be so, or vihedgerows and swamps would not be lijso populous in snakes, lizards, and to

at other small stock, nor would an idle ;r' eld grow so many weeds and thist.es. bIThe land has life in it and must pro- s(duce something; so if the farmer beg- sllects his part, his harvest will be i Iweeds, only weeds. But, on the other sihand, a farmer ma, kill his land by bover-eroppiug and stingy feeding. f.

h- Ah, the ghosts, the numberless ghosts tIin that hover around so many farms, all v

crying "murder I murderl" oWe believe in good fenees, espec- si

ially when the bull Is on the other pside, or the girl we are helping over itis pretty and cooSding. Some farm- li

in era, however, have made no provision elfor such contingencies, and while the gchances for accidents in rural life are nthus much iaereased, many a farmer'sboy misses some of the most pleasant aepiodes of youth. ftWe believe that a farmer should g

.above all things question his farm-question it by experiment, by cultiva- stion, by varied trials. a

We believe in good tools-if the tnelghbors:Iave them too. But it bard- wly pays to keep an accommodation cahop for the benelt of the neighbor- tihood. ft

Fia!lly. we believe that farming ISpays sou;.elcady, bet which man it de-p. d peadupn circumstances. The great

'ly 'trouble is, some farmers sever finad outan whbieh the fortunate individual is, and i

while they go tbrough life with a coo-viction that it is not them, they are ttoo slow to perceive tbhe bows and iwhys of it all.-Boss~ir Banner.

Guinea Grass in Court.

A curious lawsuit has just reachedits conclusion in Washington county,Miississippi. One of the progres.iveplanters in the neighborhood of Green-yville, the seat of the county named,determined to try an innovation and,instead of a singlI crop, cot!on, to di-versify his planting with corn, bay,etc. lie had satisfied himself that,apart from the abstract merits of di-versified farming, there was money inraising bay ; that an acre well-set ingood grass was more valuable andmore remunerative than an acre plant-ed in cotton, under the most favorablecircumstances. In casting about,therefore, to ascertain the best seedfor bhs purpose, be at last concludedto try the (Guinea grass, otherwiseknowu as Jbonso3 grass. lie hadheard almost fabuluous stories of itsproductiveness, its tenacity, and itsmarketable value as forage, and hemade up his mind to try it. Natural-lyv, a gentleman on the eve of so imn-portant and novel a departure, wouldspeak ot the matter to his neighbors,and naturally the neighbors, havingso startling a communication madeto them, would discuss it among them-selves. The consequence was that astrong sentiment of disapproval mani-fested itself, and this sentiment,spreading and intensifying, at lastcrystallized into a law suit-an appli-cation to the court to ejoin the ad-venturous and revolutionary planterfrom introdnucing Johnson grass intothe eountry. The grounds were thealleged dangers likely to result fromthe contemplated innovation; the ten-dency of Johnson grass to spreadsad propagate itself and to cover thesurface of the earth with its rankluxuriance. This prospect was toodreadful for our friend's neighbors,sad they flew to the courts fur safety.

The trial was quite a protracted one.If we are not mistaken, the plantilfsgained their suit in the petty court towhieh it was 'lirst carried, but thehardheaded revolutionist appealed,and then came the grand struggle,with clouds of witnesses and an im-posing array of counsel on either side.Long and fiercely did tbh battle rollsad stubborn was the effort of theplantlilfs to carry their point. All invain, however. Under the calm, clearlight of judicial inquiry, and expo.oel.to the firm and scar;-hing pressure ofcrossexamination, the excited neigh-bors who had instituted the suit withso much confidence found their cause" slipping from under foot with mirtacu-lous rapidity. Witnesses from Mis-sissippi, Alabama and Georgia cameby dozens to prove that they hadfound Johnson grass more profitablethan cotton; that it grew with mar-velous vigor was hardy, fruitful andnutritious; that the hay was in con-stant and eager demand at handsomeprices, and that, so far from being anindestructible and mischievous pestlike coco, it was no more dificult toeradicate than Bermuda grass or wiree grass, with one or the other of whichnearly every Southern field is infested.

SIn short, the plantiffs had no case att all. Their suie was shown to be un-founded and frivolous, and JohnsonI grass conquered with great carnage.

And truly, considering the matterseriously, it would have been a veryunwholesome spectacle if the case hads turned out otherwise. Not only

I- would it have been a blot upon thatu community to establish the precedent

that a farmer could be prohibitedfrom planting any remunerative crop

I he might prefer, so long as the act in-volved no danger to the public health,bt ut it would have been especially dis-

it heartening in the South, which is nowI anguibshing under the blight of the

- "one-crop idea" and which r...-ds onlya too sadly the beaitbful and ivigorat-1 ing influence of more progressive

methods of agriculture.- Times-Democrat,

SOne of the natives of .New MexicoStook a new departure in the matter ofagricultural implements, Instead of

5 the sharpened stick of his forefathers,She bought an improved Amerteany plow and broke up his land. But aa lack of rat caused a failure of thet crop. Sohe went bck to theplow olt his daddies, sprinkled the ground withr holy water, and the rain camn sudr;produced an aboundant yield. Sineero then that neighborhood hates a newi- fsagled plow, and improved impled j meots would stir up a riot.

hi;The sporting reporter of the Times- ed

'Democrat was seated at his desk with di:a bad cigar in his nouth, and bu-;ly at

I engaged writing up a thrilling descrip- in,tion of the horses to It, entered at the ato

. spring meeting of the Ilouisiana Jock- otey Club, when the city editor suddenly w,exclaimed: eis1 I"n George! I almost allowed cit

Sthat Thoroberg-Hallnass wedding to

"Yes, sir." w,"We.;, go ahead then and give a

The sporting reporter. with race b:horses chasing each other through his tobrain, grabbed his bat and disappeared. I)Sin the course of an hour he returned, mand, seating himself, cotnnetlced writ- oring. When be had finished the report ih

t he turned to the city editor and said: th"I've fixed up this wedding in high atstyle, and if you don't object I'll read ec

r the report to you." ino The city editor had no objections to g

aoffer, and the sporting reporter began :"At an early hour the church, whichI had been previously decorated with atI evergreens, and the two tracks lead- wSing to the altar covered with flowers lik as bright as jockey color:, was filled !to with a large crowd of people who tr, were anxious to see the great matri- wmonial race. Soon the minister as- a

. eended the stand. looked at his watch, tand while he was doing so the, bell I,o tapped sad the bridal party was seen

a coming 'up (roa the start. t tII, The bride was a beautiful little filly, as

I, with a broad, smooth forehead, on Itwhich rested a forelock of soft flaxen

. bair, which indicated gentleness andII mettle. Her eyes showed spirit, and

e sathough she was coupled rather short,a her form, from her well-poised bead or down to her slender fetlocks, was aim- f

,I ply perfect. By her side as she came p)f up the main track to the minister's a

stand pranced an old bald.headed stal- db ! lion, slightly sway-backed and stiff in aethe joints, who" was evidently her sire. e

H lie looked as if he had been on the tm- turf for a great msay years and had t

ae wade a good record. The bride-groom cd was a splendid looking fellow, and yk stood about It) hands high, deep in tr- the breast, broad across the hips and I

,d small around the flanks. His hair s

.was a chestnut brown, and he bad ato ! proud look, which clearly proved that a

in his pedigree was fine. When the cer- at emony was over he spurred up to bis ,

Sbride, and as he escorted her down Ire the flower-covered track he stepped:b high, with his neck bowed and the Id. vast concourse of people expected Ias every minute to bear himn nicker with In. delight and see him reach down andon bite the bride back of the ear. The I

costume of the bride attracted the at-er tention of every one present, and elic-ry ited many exclamations of surprise. t

A She was attired in a handsome dressly of dun colored stuffl, to which was at- Ist tached a dappled-gray basque of the int same material, trimmed with a sorrelId fringe and looped with dark bsy rib- I

p boos and roan tinted lace. As the Ia. baidal party were leaving the churchb, the-"is- "That will do," remarked the city

Down is an extremely rural districtof Arkansas an old man was arrestedfor stealing a bog. The proof waspositive, and ,ourt was surprised 6when the plea of not guilty was intro-duced. The lawyer for the defense, atman well known for his trickery rath-er than for his ability, seemed par-ticularly desirous of selecting a jurythat would not show partiality in de-cision. The prosecuting attorney, ayoung and inexperieneed man, agreedto every juryman selected by the de-

I fense, and the Judge, although hemight have thought the defense step-pedover the bounds of judicial courte-6 sy, said nothing. The arguments were

concluded, leaving in the miads ofa the people no doubt as to the verdict,a for one of the witnesses, a iman whoseI word no one could dispnte, swore that Ihe saw the defendeaot when he stolethe animal. The jury retired, and af- 14a ter a few moments, returned a verdict

1 of not guilty, is exact opposition to It the charge of the court.

When the court adjourned the- Judge approached the lawyer for the

defense and remarked:I "Look here, my friend, I never

beard of sueh verdict. I esonot ass an impartial desseminator of justice,

I allow so flagrant an outrage to be per-petrated on this community. Thatea sn is as guilty as Judas, but if you

will tell me the secret of the acquittal,I'll allow the verdict to pass."f "You see, Judge, the jury was

People who Whine.There is a clas of persons in this

world, by no means small, who~eiprom;tnint p'eculiarity is whining.T'cv whine because they are poor, orif they are rich because they have nohealth to entj v their riches; theywhine tbecause they have no luck, andothers' prosperity excee.ds theirs ;they whine because some friends havedied and they are living; they whinebecause they have aches and pains;and they have aches and pains becausethey whine; they whine, no one cantell why. Now. a word to these whin.ing persons: First, stop whining-it is of no use complaining, fretting,fault-finding and whining. Why, youare the most deluded set of creatureswho ever lived! Do you know thatit is a well-settled principle of physl.ology and common sense that thesehabits are more exhausting to nervosvitality than almost any othes viola.tion of physiological law ? And do youknow that life is pretty much as youmake it ? You ean make it brightand sunshiny, or you can make itdark and shadowy. This life is meantonly to discipline us-to fit us for ahigher and purer state of being. 'rhetstop whining and fretting, and go onyour way rejoicing.

TniEa can be no doubt as to thesuccess of well-managed cotton facto.ries in Mississippi. owing to the onumerous and decided advantages theypossess here over similar establish.meants in the East. We see it statedthe Mississippi Mills, at Wessoe, willsoon add another mill to their cottonand woolen manufactoring facilities,at a cost of $300,000. We believeevery factory hereafter established inMississippi, sad properly conducted,will yield as satisfactory results as theMills at Wesson whico now employabout six hundlad handt, and are runday and eight witihut being able tou kesp pace with their orders. Cotton

and woollen Ltetories seatteredthlrouhoust the8tate will greatlyassist In matle6 pOepe pree e,.ous, sad we believe the time has arriv.ed when such decided eeourage.meat will be given to their introduc.t tio that the next few years will wit.sees their establishment at all avails.ble points within our borders.- Vick.
