AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
4 Sensible Resolution.


The following resolution was
passed unanimously At the last
meeting of the Haywood county
Grange, and is al evidence of en-.
hghtened judgment and good
sense. No town ever had more lib
eral snd euterprising merchants
than Pulaski viii our county
grange recognize this fact?
RESOLVED, By Haywood County
Grange, that We, as s large class OF
the farmers OF this county, do ex-
press our appreciation of the efforts
of the merchants of Brownsville to
forward the interest of the farmers.
That We recognize with gratitude
the fact that they, during the past
hard years, extended all the aid II
their power TO the honest but poor
struggling farmer. and by this
means we were abba to tide over ex-
tremely hard tines, which we trust
viii not come again Also the eff
forts they have made, which have
been so successful. to move our cot
ton crop at 3 price so satisfactorily
to Us, and Which has resulted II
making Brownsville 81 good cot
ton market as there Is IN the State.
That we wish by this means to
show to them that we recognize and
these fsvors, and that we
further do the same by extending
TO them our confidence and patron
age. Our mutual dependence the
one upon TIE other IS recognized in
all its force, and that we,as farmers,
the kind feelings mani
tested by the business men OF
Brownsville.

forty toas of the best kind OF fertil-
izer for land Il has also been as
certained that the liquid manure Is
quite equal TO the solid, and If this
we're taken up by absorbeuts, one
COW would be made to yield eighty
tons OF man ure f0I the farmI How
much manure does one COW accoI d

T.ung Man, Read This.

Life, young man, is what you
make it. Many youngster who
was born with s silver spoon in his
mouth. has been glad enough to
lap beef soup from def dish with
a pewter Indie before he descended
into pauper's grave. A wise man
has said, "Hoaor and worth from
no condition rise: act well your
part, there al the honor lies"
There you have the whole phiIoso-
ply of life and living compressed
into few words. Act well your
part. Be you sure. no one else can
or will act it for you.
God never created loafer. No
child was ever born in this world
to become 3 losfer. He is crest-
ure of man, largely assisted by the
Devil in the manufacture. He is to
