A dakey came to town yesterday driving
an OK named Hayes While he was in a
store making some purchases farmer came
up with wagon load of fodder and stopped
in front Of the darkeys cart. The OK pull
led up to the fodder and commenced eating
it. .yln few minutes the darkey came out,
and seeing Hayes as he was trying to get
another bundle, yelled the top of his voice !:
'Whaffer iz yer catiu' dat dar fodder Yer

COTTON GROWING Ann FOOD.

IL Is now SeCtlcQ tnl0S that war IS to
break out between Russia and Turkey in
the course of few days. Should the strug-
gle be. confined to these two powers, We need
not apprehcnd very serious results to the
cotton producing industry, although the ef.
feet will be depressing Russia consumes
In her manufactures at least four hundred
thousand bales of cotton and Turkey is a
pretty large consumer of cotton goods
Both these countries will be crippled in
these particulars by the war.
But it is very general idea abroad that
other powers will probably be drawn into
the struggle in spite of themselves, and that
there is real and serious danger that a gen.
eral explosion may follows in which all Eu-
rope will become involved, and the political
map of the continent be good deal chan
ged before quiet is restored again.
1t is unhuppily the case that this is CON-
ing, Gift comes at time when all the
dfiioa. Every Et:7fi' one Of them h6aiH Is head over
heels in debt, and cannot carry any more
Russia and Turkey are already bankrupt
Austria and Italy are in not much better CON
dition, and Germany, France and Great
Britain, cannot safely increase their liabili-
ties.
There is no telling what disastrous finan.
cial results would therefore, follow gene
raj war; And it is certain that the common
people, in poorer food, in scantier c!olhing
iEhgher taxes, in lighter supplies of all the
Comforts of life, the production of which
a kes trade active and bring labor, and raw
pSoducts in demand Any such catastrophe
would probably put the cotton product back
in magnitude and demand half gene
ration.
Now, the possibility of such result is
worthy of serious contemplation by the cot
ton producing people of the South. They
may we'll remember that the cotton crop
they ure new planting will most probably
be a large one-not far from FIVE millions
of bales, as wcs, believe; and that it may
very possibly have to seek its principle mar.
ket in a contincut racked by the convul-
sions of Yar, and dependent to far greater
extent than usual 'en the surplus food pro-
duet of America for subsistence.
Such state of.things will mako cotton
worthless to producers, and if the latter are
compelled to relyefupon it to procure their
food supplies, it will not be easy to escape
Inconvenience ana suffering 1t is con-
junction of facts 4nd possibilities which no
prudent man should lose sight of, and which
should stimulate every farmer to active cf
forts to render himself independent of 9TH
or sources for bis food supplies. Macon

TIE EMPTY CRADLE.

Sad 10 the heart Of the mother ~ =
VINO sits by the lonely hearth,
where never acnin the children
Shall waken their songs Of mirth.
And sill through the painful silence.
She listens fox voice and tread,
Outside of-the, ,heart-there only
She knows that they are not dead
Here is the desolate cradle,
The pillow so lately pressed,
But far away has the birding
Flown fromits little nest.
Grooming the lullabies over
That once were her babes delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows it's upward fight.
Little she Thought of a moment
80 gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she. gathered
Her childfor its good.night kiss.
4 She should be .enderly cherished,
Never grief should she know,
wealth, and the pride Of princess,
p. These would mother bestew.
And this is the darlings portion
In Heaven-where She has fled;
BY angels securely guarded,
by angels securely led.
Brooding in sorrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows,
Why it is all for the best?
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches of earthly crown;
Better the early morning flight,
Than one when the sun is down;
Better an empty casket,
Than jewels besmirched with sin:
Safer than these without the fold,
Are those that have entered in.

UNREELINa A PULL-BAcK.-A most
amusing scene was Witnessed on X street
the other day. A lady with vigorous pull.
back and ap elaborate polonase was walking
up X from Fourth street. In that unac,
countable outside pocket which the fashion
pIescribes shall be trained TO the rear and
hung as low down as possible upon the last
named garment, she had new, full spool Of
Lhread-just purchased evidently. An
end Of this escaping from the open pocket,
caught the eye of X street gamma six
or seven year old specimen. He deftly
caught the end, and holding to it, found
that it reeled off without the promenader
being aware of it. He at once squared him.
self, sailor fashion, in the middle Of the walk
aud as she paid Off he hauled in hand
over hand, to the Infinite amusement of hall
hundred men who witnessed the operation
In brief time the line reached clear up to
Fifth street. from near Fourth, and as the
lady stepped out on the tagging to cross the
street, the end ran off, and she went on with
tue empty spool, blissfully unconscious Of
the merriment behind her back at her ex.
pense. The cruel men-and by this time
hundred had seen the process-then began
to speculate upon the look Of blank astonish
ment which must have overpowered hel
countenance, when on reaching home, she
found the spool empty, which she could as
sert was full when she purchased it.

cousin who married Gentle. The girls
parents were .ievout saints, and grieved over

who gave him the following godly advice :
"Put Hattcn out of the way, it is Gin and

AN EDITOR VINO LOVES BABIEs.-Wc
love babies and also anybody else who loves
babies. No man has music in his soul who
doesn't love babies. Babies were made to
be loved, especially girl babies-whcn thoy
grow up. A man isn't worth 'shuck' who
doesn't love baby, and the same rule ap-
plies t. a woman. A baby is a spring day
in winter, a hot-house in summer, ray of
sunshine in frigid winter, and, fits heal
thy, good .natured, baby, and if you are sure
it's yours, its bushcl of sunshine, no mat
ter how cold the weather. A man can not
be a hopeless case SO long as he loves babies
-one at time. We love babies all over.
no matter how dirty they are. Babies were
born to be dirty. Our love for babies is
only bounded by the number of bibles in
tho world. We also have sorrowful feelings
for mothers who have no babies. Women
always look down-hearted who have no ba-
bies and men who have none always grum-
bic and drink and stay out nights, trying to
get music in their souls but they can't
come it. Babies, are babies, and nothing
can take their placc.-Atchison Patriot.

How TO RAISE ToMAToEs.-Th
French mode of raising tomatoes is as fol-
lows: AS soon as a cluster of flowers is
visible, they top the stem down to the cluster,
which soon pushes strongly and produces an-
other cluster of flowers each. When these
are visible, the branch to which they belong
is also topped down to their level; and this
is done five times successfully. by this
means the plants become stout dwarf bushes,
not above eighteen inches high. In order
roPrevunvO'.O;- c-iI.e nuIr sticks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the rows;
SO as to keep the plants erect. Ia addition
to this, all laterals that have no flowers, and
after the fifth topping, all laterals whatever,
are nipped off. In this way the ripe sap
is directed into the fruit, which acquire
beauty, size and excellence unattainabls by
other means.

UNCLE WILLIAM ON "DIppINa"-D Dear
Children l was at church last Sunday
Nothing strange about that, since have
been going to church pretty regularly for
forty years, or thcreabout. Yet saw some
thing that was very strange to mc-somc-
thing that had never seen before.
a brother invited me to go with him to
dinner. got in his wagon to ride.
Besides the man and his wife there were
three young ladies in the wagon. 1 noticed
all of these had sticks about as large and as
long as your little finger, stick ing out of their
mouths. noticed that they kept splitting
like their mouths were sore.
Then there was dark streak reaching
from one side Of the mouth to the other,
circling under the lower lip, in the shape
Of new moon.
Presently one took out her stick, which
had swab ON the end, dipped it IN some.
thing and put it back in her mouth again.
Then it occurred to me, that this,is what is
called dipping" So it was.
soon found out that was in neigh
borhood of regular clippers"
| had a conversation this morning with a
good woman, the mother of three children,
who is herself clipper" She said, 'it is
wrong; and as you do not use tobacco, l
cheerfully receive your reprooG but they who
chew and smoke ought not to condcm u.s."
True.
"They who live in glass houses ought not
to throw stones"
Dipping, like smoking, drinking, playing
cards, etc, is a social evil. do not say it
is worse .than other evils. But do say
it is vile, dirty, filthy, wicked, wrong
Let me beg my nieces, who have COM
menced dipping to quit it. And those who
have never done such an ugly thing to pro.
mise me they never will.
There are but few things that would pain
me more than to see my own daughters en-.
gage in this vile practice.
Please, my little ladies, keep these ugly
sticks out of your mouths.-&. Louis
