TEXAS NEWS ITEMS.

Longiner, the Fort Worth mail robber,
has been sentenced to the penitentiary for
one hundred and nine years. They might
as well have sent him for life at once

ton crop, and will make five bushels of
corn to the acre
The Greenbackers are making considc-
rable headway in North Texas
In many counties in Texas, the corn
crop was ruined by the drouth. In many
others, full crops will be raised. The cot
ton crops are promising in most counties,
but the worms have put in an appearance
in some places.
In Washington county, farmers esti-
mate their cotton crop at one bale to eight
acres. Cattle have been driven elsewhere
for water and pasturage.
Twelve bales of new cotton have been
received at Brenham.
Cattle thieving seems to be brisk in
many parts of the State.
Within a brief period there were three
suicides in Lamar county.

THE LEGISLATURE

Had we the ears of the people of Mis-
sissippi, we would exhort them to select
men of high moral character for the Leg
islature. We shall not attempt to explain
what we mean by men of high moral char
acter, further than to say, that they are
such as good prudent men would select as
models for their sons.
We are concerned for the fair fame of
Mississippi. We would elevate her to
the highest rank in the sisterhood of
States; we would have her win the re-
spect and admiration of the world, and
the deep abiding love and reverence of
her own children.
The Legislative body is taken as the
exponent not only of the political views
of the people of State, but of their intel
ligence, their morality, their civilization.
The moral character of Legislators tinges
the legislation which emanates from them,
just as surely as the minerals in the earth
them. Can pure stream flow from an
impure fountain? Do men gather figs of
thistles OF grapes of thorns?a
Mississippians! remember that the laws
enacted by the Legislature are those which
most nearly concern your lives, your lib
erty, and yoar property. They are the
laws that shape society, that give it color
and tone. Can you expect wise, just
good, pure, wholesome laws from legisla-
tors of loose morals or doubtful integrity?
In times of high political excitement
when the contest between the two parties
was close and heated, we have seen good
enthusiastic in their efforts in behalf of
candidates notorious for their dissolute
morals, men whom they would not think
of choosing to administer their estates, or
to act in loco PARENTS to their sons and
daughters. Party exigencies might have
been offered in excuse for this; but when
citizens belonging to a single party go to
select candidates for office, good men can
offer no such excuse. 1t is their duty,
their imperative duty, to scan closely the
character and antecedents of every man
asking a nomination, and see to it that
only men of high moral character are
placed on the Legislative ticket @ aa
Mississippians! men who have the
honor of our beloved State at heart! good
men, moral men, Christian men. we ask
you to think of these things Columbus

USE OF CAPITAL IN AGRICUL-
- }'t-5t-ss FIR F.

Itwas shrewd remark make by an old
farmer when an advocate of high culture
was advising the use of costly methods,
and enforced his ideas with the statement
that the expenditure, although very large,
would pay good interest "But how
about the principal will that come
back again?" he was asked. This is worth
thinking of before one sinks money in i'm
provements that are not permanent and
do not add an actual value to the real es-
tate. A drain, a well, building,the clear
ing of land, and such permanent improve
ments, are worth all they cost for many
years, and the profit from their use may
be legitimately considered as interest on
an actual investment. But living ami
NAL, fertilizers, seeds, plants, and other
ort-lived property, should pay back not
only large interest, but the principal as
well, if they are to be profitable. The ex-
penditure of 500 in fertilizers ought to

We take great pleasure in reproducing
the admirable resolutions of the farmers of
Lauderdale county, Miss, adopted at a
meeting held at Marion on the I'd inst.
We. feel sure the object of the patriotic
farmers of Lauderdale will have the hearty
endorsement of their brother farmers all
over the State. We see in this movement
the GOOD influence of the Grange in arous-
ing the farmers to a greater activity in po-
liticai affairs. The President of the meet
ing, Bro. Dan. McIunis, is an earnest and
influential member of the Order, and ma
ny Others who were present are doubtless
members also, yet no mention is made of
the Grange and there is no thought of ta-
kine the Grange into politics. We SIN
cereB hope that the farmers of Lauder
dalasBill initiate their brethren in Clay
and Dktibbeha counties-nominate far

EVERY ONE TO HIS TRADE.

EVERY ONE TO HIS TRADE.
With the "new era" that is dawning
upon the American farmer no fact has
been brought more plainly in view, or i'm
pressed more firmly upon the minds of all
who believe in progress, than the convic-
ton that the farmer must have a higher
and better education, and that to special
education in all that pertains to the science
and profession of Agriculture.
The physician has his medical college
school of surgery, &c.
The lawyer his law school and long
years of study in his special profession
The soldier, the military school and
West Point
The sailor, school ships and naval acad-
emies
He who would build railroad, open a
,nine or run furnace, must have spe-
cial education and training in engineering,
geology, &c.
Even to become good business man,
the business college, with its special
course and practice is now thought to be
a necessity. - :"
And it is true, of late years agricultural
colleges have been fostered by National
and State Governments, that are doing a
great and good work, but how are we to
educate the millions of children who will
soon be the owners and cultivators of our
farms? If they are intended for the farm
they should be educated for it. .t-
Even as the physical must have thor
ough knowledge of the structure of the
body, knowing all its parts and their uses;
the producer of metals of all that partains
to ores, their purity, &c. So should, and
III fact must, the successful farmer of the
future know the various constituents of
soil, and have good knowledge of chem
istry, electricity, geology, and how and
V0hy crops grow, &c. #"- 80
To accomplish this great and important
work best it must be commenced in our
common schools; books for children con-
tanning elements of agriculture must be
introduced into every country school dis
trict
AT the last session of the National
Grange, action was taken upon this SUBJ
ject. Bro. T. B. Harwell, Master of the
Tennessee State Grange, introduced a
resolution "that the National Grange re-
commend to the Patrons of the several
States to endeavor to have the study of
the elementary principles of agriculture
introduced into the public schools by leg
islative enactment" which was reported
upon favorably by the Committee on Ed
ucation and adopted. We understand
that the proper legislation has been secur-
ed in Tennessee and work ordered.

direction p Grange Bulletin.

ACTIVITY NOT ENERGY.

The Christian Union thus defines the
difference between activity and energy,
and suggests wherein large class of in
dustrious people lack the element which
produces success.
There are some men whose failure to
succeed in life in a problem to others as
we'll as to themselves. They are industri-
Gus, prudent and economical; yet after a
long life of striving, old age finds them
still poor. They complain OF i'll luck. They
say fate is always against them. But the
fact is that they nhscarry, because they
have mistaken activity for energy. Con-
founding two things essentially different,
they have supposed that if they were al
ways busy they would be certain to be
advancing their fortunes. They have
gotten that misdirected labor is
but waste Of activity. The person
who would succeed is like marks
man firing at target; if his shots miss the
mark they are a waste of powder. So in
the great game of life, what man does
must be made to count, or might almost
as well have been left undone Everybody
knows some one in his circle of friends
who, though always active, has this want
of energy. The distemper, if we may call
it such, exhibits itself in various ways. In
some cases the man has merely an execu-
tive capacity when he should have di.
receive one-in other language, he makes
capital clerk of himself when he ought
to do the thinking of the business. In
other cases, what is done is not done
either at the right timeor in the right way.
Energy, correctly understood is activity

What is the Order in Alabama doing?
There are thousands of good and true Pa
irons in that State, yet the cause anguish
es-the officers of the State Grange seem
to be doing nothing. If the Master does not
push the work, the active Patrons should
see to it that better man is elected at the
next meeting Of the State Grange. The
Order in Alabama ought to be in -four

What a pitiable spectacle it is, for far
mer, Who ought to be the most indepen-

action of Oktibbeha, and DR.. Crigler will
undoubtedly be elected. In Clay county,

at is simply disgusting to hear old politi-
clans talking for the greenback when they
did SO much to keep the Radicals in pow
er in the State and nation. But these old
politicians will talk for anything that
promises to be popular and enable them
to ride into office on. Away with the

The members of the Order in Texas
should concentrate their patronage on
their State Grange Agency at Galveston.
Get the State Agency built up, and it will
be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
Annually to the farmers of Texas. There
is no calculating the advantages which
the cooperative stores in that State will
derive from buying and selling through
the central agency at Galveston. Where
a cooperative store is not established,
farmers should combine their orders and
send to the State agency. A little expe-
