Next morning on excursion was or
the programme 10 visit the vast coal
fields Of Macon. Here is Q sourcc o,
incxhaustible wealth, and tho basis
or the future greatness Of this thirty.
ing young city as q manufacturing
place.
The balance Of the forenoon was
taken up mainly by the private bust
moss Of the Convention, aud tho pas.
sage Of suitable resolutions, and pro
nouncing enlogics, upon the lives OF
four deceased members Of tho assoc.
alton. who have died since the last
annual reunion. Some Of these Of.
forts would have done credit to the
ablest minds Of tho country.
~Frcdcrickton was finally selected.
out Of four or Eve other cities offer.
Ing for the honor, as the most suitable
place for holding the next Conyen-
ton. 1t 10 In the southeastern part
OF the State, on the Iron Mountain
Road. ID the midst Of the mining dis.
trict Of the State, aud we think, the
selection a most judicious one. II is
q growing young city, of about $500
Inhabitants.
At about IL o'clock, noon, the Con.
vention got through with its bust.
ness. and adjourned, In good order.
and the best Of feeling.
We have not attempted to give n
detail of the proceedings, because
they are entirely too lengthy, but OH
" such a summary as will give your
readers a tOlerable idea Of the scope
and objects Of the Association, when
published officially, we may refer to
them again.
We had not visited Macon for a
humber Of years past. We were most
agrecably surprised at its growth
md progress. 1t Is one Of the most
beautiful and healthy small cities of
he State, possessing an energetic,
neighborly population, among
whom 1t is a pleasure to live. It has
between four and five thousand in
'abitants. II is located at tho cross
ng Of two Of the most important
railroads Of the State, and possesses
Inrivaled business advantages. Its
EDUCATIONAL. religious, business aud
ocial atti actions, cannot be surpass.
d, in our judgment, by any town in
forth Missouri.
1t is u intention to accompany
he Colorado excursion party, which
hope will DO a relief and benefit
us, and will be absent some six or
en- days longer. Hnrriedly, 4.

GRATITUDE.

Boys do Something.

We want TO say just a word to the
boys OF the farm. We have no sermon
to deliver, no ~lecture-just n bare sug.
gestion-aud we hope every farmers
boy will heed 1t. Make a beginning
for your selves this Centennial year.
The time will finally come when YOU
must look to your " exertions for a
living. 1t is your wisest course to fit
yourselves early for the battle of life.
Solicit from your father the right to
plant and cultivate some certain plot OF
ground, be l. ever so small, the product
from which shall be your own. Pre-
pare it most thoroughly plant it with
care, keep IL clean of weeds, harvest the
crop and sell it, putting the proceeds at
q fair rate of interest, so that when you
become OF age" you will be able to
begin you business career rs indepen-
dent, well.to-do citizens. Suppose You
are ten. twelve. or fourteen years of
age. Just sit down and figure up what
the mere triie You may earn for your
selves this year, at compound interest,
will amount to by the time you are
twenty-one years old! Thcn if YOU add
to IL each year. In a proportion to your
efficiency rs farmers, you will be aston
ished at the result. Do not fear that
your parents will not second your ev-
cry effort. Nothing will please them so
much as to realize that you are really a
young farmer, with great hopes of the
future and a great ambition to excel.
They know that the farm house is the
real home Of comfort and happiness, If
within it are found contentment and
high aspirations. The time has fully
come when the lords of the soil are the
lords of the country. With careful
living, with good education, with even
fair ability, the farmer boy may hold
any and all positions, when in man.
hoods prime, and it is to him that the
Nation, in these days of corruption,
must look for true manhood aud true
patriotism. The beginning OF all this
future brilliant career is dependent up
on early s~elf.exertion more than upon
all other things. Whether your parents
are rich or poor, does not matter; it Is
individuality that wins. Strive to have
and to be something while the bright
summer of youth lights the way.-Prai-
ric Farmer.
