The Oaiy Cesored Member Of Congress

Mr. Lynch mas an intelligent and rather
striking face. he is q ~fnulstto, of a light
coffee color, and his face and be I'd, but for
the color Of his skin and high cheek bones
are the face and head Of q Caucasian. He
has a broan and well developed forehead
and large and expressive eyes and q heavy
black mustache, and crisp curly hair. His
address is pie asant and his speech is always
correct. As a writer and speaker he is con-
slderably above the average. Considering
the disadvantages under which he began
life, Dir. Lynch must be regarded as a
highly successful man. He was a slave IN
til the War broke out did not learn to read
until be was thirteen did not learn to write
until he was seventeen: was speaker of the
Missis ippi House when he was twenty

was nominated for the first time and Just two
months before he was elected, and after
having been a candidate four times for Con-
gress-being twice returned elected, once
counted out and kept out by the Democrats,
and now counted out but seated by the Re-
publlcans-is only thirty-four years Of age.
He was employed at seventeen as a waiter
boy in = photograh gallery at Natchez, and
while doing this work acquired the art of
taking pictures. After two years be took
charge of a gallery as a practical photogra-
pher, and managed it for several years.

years olu-he has been actively engaged in
politics, Int has had other occupations, and
has accumulated some property. He owns
and successfully marriages a plantation Of $50
acres near Na;ct,z. He says, with some
pride, that be has tried to be saving, and
mention as an example of the puerile argu-
ment with which the Democrats have en-
deavored to win away negro voters from
him, that they have charged him with being
''etlngy," said he Ibid not give money
away" and alleged as his particular crime
that he had Saved SIS, 900 out Of the 800, 600

In those days there were no bloated bond

We insist they are absolutely the very

The Farm Horse.


There are many errors committed
by farmers in selecting breeding STOCK
for farm horses. Size merely will not
do. And in this respect there are tia'
grant impositions practiced by lmpor-
tiers of the Clydesdale and Norman
horses, in loosing sight of muscle and
action, in the rage for enormous size'
There must be previous careful breed
ing to develop the best qualities nee
essary to ensure endurance and action.
These do not come alone from clover
pastures, heavy feeding OF oats, or from
extra grooming, but from the very best
parentage. The walk is the best gait
for the farm horse. But the uses OF the
farm horse are varied and multiplied.
And although the heavy draft is needed
TO turn the soil several inches deeper
than is the practice, and to take to the
railroad station larger loads than the
universal scrub has been in the habit
of DOUG, the farmer of to-day is differ
emily situated from the farmer forty
years ago. He has the good family
carriage, to propel which at good
speed he cannot afford to keepa span
of horses. So the farmer wants horses
of weight and strength to do heavy
work, but at the same time have endu-
rance and quick action. And this is
attained only through long line OF
ancestry. Selected and mated by wise
breeders. There are an abundance OF
heavy Clydesdales and Norman horses
in the country, but the farmer has the
most difficult tasks to select from among
them the horses possessing the proper
muscular development. thoroughly es'
tablished through we'll known line Of
ancestry. Big legs, and ungainly
bumps of flesh, roughly piled together
are too often recognized as noble
specimen of the horse. But the true
horse should be stately in form, grand
in style, free and energetic in action
of superior intelligence, and mild and
domestic in disposition. But these
must be bred in the bone. Do not breed
to any horse for the reason merely that
the owner is particular friend and
good neighbor. Such friendship is toe
costly. And beware of the smooth
tongue of the keeper Of a horse def
cient in all good qualities. Men o.
this quality are great curse to the
community.
But there is more for farmers to dc
than to be careful of breeding. II
raising horses for sale they should be
Thoroughly trained. Frequently goot
Judge sees the making of fine horse
in the hands of farmer who is ignor
ant of the Jewel of horse he has. He
is bought for moderate price, put II
careful training, and in few weeks is
sold for two or three times what the
farmer received for him. The farmer
lost this by not developing his horse
by careful training. It is therefore
necessary to be careful in breeding and
especially attentive in training and de
veloping.-Io1Ua State Register.
