LITTLE BANNERS.
Bret is sorrow, endless is Joy

Brief is sorrow, endless is joy.
Tears and laughter telltheir
own story.
Nothing can be great which
is not right.
Sanctifed Affections are spiri-
tual promotions.
Perish discretion when it in
terferes with duty.
Whatever mankind suffers,
comes from on high.
1t is never too late to turn
from tie errors Of our ways.
Know how sublime a thing it
is to suffer and be strong.
l know,-I know, at the feet
Of Jesus | shall not weep in vain.
Since the thing you wish can
not be had, wish for that you
can have.
Men carry unconscious signs
of their life about them in their
faces.
Aim at pleasing God in all
things and you will never go far
astray.
Nothing but the cross of
Christ can make other crosses
straight.
A knowledge of our duties is
the most useful part of our
philosophy.
Be thou of them that are
prosecuted, not of them that
persecute.
Man never deceives himself
so much ds when he attempts
to deceive God.
He whom they deprived of
life, was Himself the One who
gave life to all.
The generous mind adds
dignity to every act, and Moth
ing misbecomes it.
Rome, overcame the old
world, but could not strangle
infant christinitv.
The integrity of men is to be
mearured by their conduct, not
by their professions.
Every man throws on his
surroundings the sunshine or
the shadow that exists in his
own soul.
No human scheme can be so
accurately projected, but some
little circumstance may inter-
vene to spoil it.
Friendships begin with liking
or gratitude-roots that can be
pulled up. The mother love,
begins deeper down.
There are only two sorts of
men-the one, the just, who be-
lieve themselves sinners; the
other sinners who believe them
selves just.
There are four good mothers
who have four bad daughters;
Truth hath hatred; prosperity
hath pride, security hath peril;
and familiarity hath contempt.
Life is made up of little
things, in which smiles and kind
nesses given habitually are what
win and preserve the heart and
secure comfort.

To Young Farmers.

To accomplish anything in
life, it will be found necessary
to go to work in earnest No
man ever made anything by not
making an effort. Thousands of
young men, with good resolu-
tons, spend their time trying
to find an easy way to make
money, and the result is, they
fail. What is necessary is to
go to work in earnest. Make
up your mind that success
comes only from diligent appl-
cation, keep out of debt as far
as possible, and if you have
made a wise selection, you are
all right. We would impress
upon the minds of all few
facts gathered from experience:
1. You must have good land,
and not pay a high price for it.
2. You must be sure of a
market for all you can raise.
3. You will be required to Sc
lect such crops for cultivation
as will yield the greatest profit.
4. Don't try experiments I'M
til you reach a point when a
failure will not embarrass you.
5. See to it that your expen-
ses are kept at the very lowest
point, and be sure not to spend
money before you have made it.
By far the larger number of
failures come from wrong esti-
mates. Your crop may look
fine, and you may have an idea
that your corn will yield close
on to hundred bushels to the
acre, but owing to something
which you did not quite under
stand, it only turns out fifty.
Your wheat may look very fine,
and all your neighbors may give
it as their opinion that you will
harvest not less than three
thousand bushels, but when the
threshlng time comes you only
measure up one thousand FIVE
hundred.
Now, if you have run in debt,
expecting a hundred bushels of
corn to the acre and fifteen
hundred more bushels of wheat
than you get, the chances are
that you will find yourself in a
position quite uncomfortable;
but if you keep out OF debt,
you are all right. Learn to do
without that which you have
not the money to pay for, and
success will come of ITSELF
The New Home.

ACCIDENT 10 A LADY.-Thurs-
day night, between nine and ten
o'clock, Miss Fricke and squire
Hackworth were returning to
town from her brothers we'd
ding; when at a point near the
city cemetery, as the horses
were turning the corner of a
fence, the buggy struck a guard
post giving the buggy a sudden
jerk, breaking the pole, the
horses then gave a lunge, pull
ing Miss Fricke, who was driv-
ing. over the dash board, throw
ing her violently to the ground
and bruising her very severely.
One of the horses ran againt a
barbed wire fence, cutting his
neck through to the windpipe
and injuring him so that he will
be useless for a week or two.
Mr.. Paul Fricke and his bride
were just behind, Mr.. Fricke
Jumped out of his buggy and
ran to the assistance of his sis
ter picking her up.

BIG SUIT.-Last spring the
city fathers concluded to have
the ordinances printed in book
form-they were very econom-

the lowest bidder, without any
regard to his ability to do the
work. The printing dragged
along for months and was final
ly completed, the contract pass
ing into other hands. A con-
tract for the printing was made
in a loose manner and now it is
rumored that suit will be
brought against the city fer
some $4,000 or $4,000 for
