THE SOUTH TOWN.
CALL FOt / CnHVENrfoy.


Il has been generally understood In tho matter
Of the forthcoming election for South Town
oficers, that no Convention would be he1l for
the nomination Of candidates. II haa been OK
pccted Tint Foley aud Evnns, the rivals for tho
most prominent and important position, would
marshal their followers aud ontar tho race inlo-
pendent Of any regular party action. but It
scems that = number Of rnoa Of pothouso
influence havo looked npon such course With
great diseattsfactton. It deprived them Of their
usual opportunity to blecd the aspirants BY
making them bid for tho honor aud prestige OF q
regular nomination. To let these se'f.made can
proper entry-fce they have felt would be throw
lug just so much money AWAY, and they have
been excessively nnhAppy At the thought.
4 few OF tho most enthusiastic aud exactlng OF
thesc Gent!enen met Yesterday at No: 131s State
street, and determined that Convention should
be held, and that nominations should receive
their Just price, and be aold cut only 70 the
highest bidders. They really rcprcsen ntesl the
hummer element OF the Fifth and Sixth Wards,
though they claimed to represent The entire
South Division.
After discussing tho matter at some length.
aud commenting rather harrhly upou the low
design Of Fo!sy and Erana to escape this time
honored taxation, they Issued the following call,
anu designated the following 4ossne-places:

A Texas gentleman who had the mis-
fortune to be an unbsliever, was walk
ing one day in the woods, reading the
writings oil Plato. He came TO where
the great writer uses the great phrase,
"geometrizing." He thought to him
self: "If I could only see plan and O.
der in Gods works, / could be be-
lever"
Just then he saw a little "Texas
star" mt his feet. He picked il mp and
thoughtlessly began to count its petals.
He found there were five. He counted
the stamens, and there were five Of them.
He counted the divisions at the base OF
the flower, there were five OF them. He
then set about multiplying these three
tiyes to see how many chances there
were of flower beng brought into
existence without the aid OF mind, and
having il in these three fives. The
chances against it were lbs 10 1. He
examined another flower, aud found II
the same. He multiplied 125 by itsell
to see how many chances there were
against there being TO flowers, each
having these exact relations Of numbers
He found the chances against IL were
13, ,625 to i.
Dut all around him there were multi.
tudes of these little flowers; they had
been growing and blooming there fol
years. He thought this showed the
order OF Intelligence, aud that the mind
that ordained ii was God. And so hs
shut his book, and picked up tive little
flower and kissed IL, and exclaimed
"Bloom on little flowers, sing on, little
birds; you have God, aud L have {
God; the God that made these LITTLE
flowers made me. II Bright side.

Thank God some of us have had an
old-fashioned mother. Not a woman
OF the period, enameled and painted,
with great chignon, her curls and bus
tie. whose white jeweled hands never
felt the touch Of baby fingers, but a
dear, old fashioned, sweet-yoiced moth
or, within whose clear depths the love
light shone and brown hair. just thread
cd with silver. lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. Those dear hands worn
with toll gently guided our tottering
steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, even reaching out
to us in yearning tenderness when her
sweet spirit was baptized In the pearly
spray Of the beautiful river. Blessed
is the memory of the old-fashioned
mother. 1t floats to MS now like the
perfume from some woodland blossoms.
The music of other voices may be lost
but the enhancing melody of hers will
shine on until the light from heavens
portals will glorify our own. When, in
the fitful pauses Of busy life, our feet
shall wander back to the old home
stead and crossing the we'll worn
threshold stand once more in the quaint
old room so hallowed by her presence,
how the feeling of childish innocense
and dependence comes over rs and we
kneel down ia the molten sunshine,
streaming through the western window
just where long years ago we kneeled
by our mothers knee lisping "Our Fa-
ther." Years have piled great drifts
between her and us but they have not
hidden from our sight the glory Of her
pure unselishness.

Since the Lee trial began, and il i
certain that the government will pro-
tect court and witnesses. il seems as il
everyone's mouth is unsealed, and all
the ugly stories that have been kept
close for eighteen years have come to
light. A spirit OF apostacy is working
in the southern settlements, and many
Mormons openly declare that all the
crimes Of the old bloody DAYS must be
ferreted out and the guilty punished.
Nevertheless, those who think that the
revelations of Mountain Meadows viii
result in an early dissolution of the
Mormon Church are reckoning without
knowledge of the situation. Shorld II
be proved that Brigham Young was
personally present and murdered fifty
babies with his own hands, question
IL it would "faze" five Mormons in a
hundred. Aud why should it? All
Christians belieyas that Moses and!
tens Of thousands of women and chill.
dien, and yet no Christian ever give
up his faith for that. The Mormons
believe that they occupy a position to-
ward the modern world substantially
the same as that held by the Israelites
toward the ancient world. When the
prophet commands 1t is not a question
OF Gentle morals, traditions and
laws" but n question of Gol's will ex-
pressed through his representative,
and how far they eau go without being
called to account for ii. Utah Cor.

Agricultural Fairs.

The first agricultural fair ever held
In the United States was at Washing
ton in the fall of 1904. Ii was a stock
fair, principally, and was organized for
the purpose of assisting n the sale OF
stock. The second fair was held at the
same place in April, 1906, at which
premiums to the amount Of 500 we're
awarded TO the best lamb, sheep, steer,
COW. yoke Of oxen, and horse actually
sold" In November Of the next year
third fair was held, under the same
auspices, but for some reason il proved
the last.
In 1909 the Columbia agricultural
society was formed, and its first exhi-
bition was held at Georgetown, May 10
Of that year. 1t was largely attended,
and proved a great success in every
way. Many distinguished persons
were present, including President Mad
ison and lady, the Secretary Of State, of
the treasury, of war, members of con-
gress, etc. The historian tells us that
the president wore suit, the coat OF
which was made of wool from Colonel
Humphreys flock OF sheep, and the
other clothes from the Livingstone
flock at Clermont. Nearly all present
wore domestic fabrics. The first pre-
MUM on sheep at this fair, 500, was
awarded to s. Cassidy Of the District
OF Columbia, on lamb weighing 50
pounds and five ounces, unshorn and
unwashed, the fleece weighing fsur
pounds 13 ounces. The second, on
lamb weighing 50 pounds, and fleece 3
pounds IA ounces. This society con-
tinued in existence three years, hold
ing exhibitions tw.ce a year until 1872,
when the war with England came on,
and public interest was directed to
that, TO the exclusion of the "arts of
peace" The Columbia Society is re-
garded as the father OF the agricultu-
raj fair system, which now prevails go
extensively all over the United States.
The United States Agricultural soci-
ETY. was organized in 1S.l, at Washing
ton, but remained inactive until 1851,
when second convention was Reid,
called by IL stase agricultural socie-
ties. Twenty three states and terrific
ries we-e represented, and the dead So
ciety of 1871 was resurrected to yigor-
Gus life, aud continued to exercise a
powe. full inhuedce on agricultural
progress up TO the commencement Of
the late war, when its annual meetings
we've prevented Ohio Farmer.
