widows.
No. l. This lady, as all the others,
lost her husband during the war, and
was left in straitened circumstances.

BY no means. She has raised four chill
dren, besides fine crops, and to-day she
has much Of last years cotton and flour
on hand, is free from debt, and is able
to pay cash down for what she wants.
No. looks complacently on all of her
last crop of cotton, and, with sense of
perfect rest and absolute fulness ON 5000
pounds of flour, neither of which she
has sold because she had no use for the
money. The only thing which disturbs
her rest now is what to do with her new
fodder, every place being occupied with
the old. She, too, like a true woman,
has raised children and set them up I'M
der their own vines and fig trees.
No. 5 struggled through the years
which have rolled on since the late I'M
pleasantness, raised six children, giving
each at majority $500 in cash. Last wear
