G'his is the farmers communion sea-
son, to speak in church terms. If he
ever attends meeting it is at this sea-
son of the year. Ii is now we have the
agricultural fairs, which are all proving
to be successful so far, on account Of the
fine weather, and we suppose the in
creased interest taken in a properly
conducted and managed agricultural
fair.
Then we have harvest homes and
picnics, out in the country, away from
the city, where immense crowds gather
to commune together, and have pleas
ant sociable time. The people at these
gatherings number from few hundreds
to as high as fifty thousand people.
And last and least come the political
meetings, conventions and such, for some
farmers actually de attend these, which
is all very well, were they not so much
given to lend their influence to the diff
ferent kind of rings which pervade poll
ities. Did they control these meetings
it would be different, you know.
We have been reading an account OF
the ninth annual meeting of the Farm
ers' Alliance, Of New York, kind OF
semi-politieal organization, which, We
should suppose, had some influence in
the Empire State from the membership,
having Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour
and General A. 8. Dillon as members.
Mr.. SEYMOUR has q great influence
among the farmers Of New York.
Those differing with him in politics
like to sit at his feet to listen to his prac-
tical words on the questions of the day.
At the recent meeting he spoke and
touched in ehatty way on a number
of his favorite subjects. From the Hus-
EdRdmeR we learn that he spoke on the
evil tendency of the times toward spec
ulatiOn, especially as it affected the far
mer. If he ever made another public
address he believed it would be on the
farmer as q gambler. When man was
always trying TO do good thing in SELL
ing his crops, and get ahead of some one
else, he kept getting his mind full ofthe
speculative spirit, and soon got TO think
ing more Of how to sell his crops than Of
how to raise good ones. So it was he
only got ahead Of himself His family
soon caught the idea, and his boys
would drift away into towns and cities,
to try to get into trade, and that would
be the last of them.
That is just the kernel and core and
meat of the whole matter, as to why
bows leave the farm. Again he says:
II one of the great advantages
which the Germans had in their farm
ing operations in this country, that
when they bought piece Of land they
did 1t In earnest and TO Keep, not with
the idea of selling. So they aeeumu-
lated. and improved. Everything an

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
Of the abdomen, causingthe patient to sup
pose he has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms of indigestion are present, as tlatu-
ency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like Precipitation, producing a
very disagreeable itching particularly at
night after getting warm in bed, is a very
common attendant. Internal, External
and Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and effecting permanent cure
where all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try it

THE most unique prayer on record Is
that made by Rev. DR.. Goss, an old
time Baptist minister, In the Illinois
Democratic convention at Chicago the
other day. Following the "Amen"
there was perfect storm of applause,
and many hats were thrown toward the
ceiling. 1t was as follows: 80, Lord,
we beseech Thee to save us from the
devil. o, Lord God, We beseech Thee
to save us from Star Route and other
thieves upon the public treasury. o,
Lord God Almighty, We pray Thee to
save US from Republicanism. For Gods

MESQUITE GUM.

It has been found (says the North
aOesteg7s Latnabernaa'O that the mesquite
tree of Texas is Identical with, or at least
vastly similar to, the acyacia tree of the
East, from which is obtained the gum
arabic of commerce, and an industry in
the direction of collecting and utilizing
this gum is being developed. 1t is held
to be equal or superior to the imported
gum, and quite large quantities were
gathered last year and sold readily at Is
cents per pound. A mesquite grove is a
novel and interesting sight, the meas
ings of the tree branches being likened
to transparent crystal armor, rejecting
in the suns rays, and glittering and
glowing like unto some golden harvest.
The gum is capable of being handled
with great expedition and facility, the
trees always growing in groves and to
medium height. Cattle are also fond of
the gum, and eat it from the trees where
it is in reach. 1t is believed that were
the mesquite cared for like the maple,
and proper operations followed, the
project of gum raising would be FEAST
BILE and profitable one.

as if journalism were branch of itera-

the standard of skill quite high enough

known as Shaking Rock, and never a

some Of the people-proud always of
their village and all about it-showing
him this place. Icannot better describe
it than by saying that it is the oldest
think any one ever saw. In the rear of
the home of the late Gov. Gilmer is a
huge bowlder standing by itself on the
edge of stream. Upon this bowlder is
placed another rock weighing abou
twenty tons. 1t rests on pinnacle not
two feet square. So evenly is it balanced
that the slightest touch will cause it to
rock, and yet hundred horses could
not pull it from its socket. There it has
stood for ages subjected to wind and
storm unmoved, a silent monument of
the power Of the Creator. -Cragtord :

4GooD WORDFOR "G4TH.~

It is quite fashionable among certain
newspaper writer's to abuse George Al
fred Townsend and to print silly filings
at his character. There is nothing SO
despised by the stupid journalist as
brilliancy-by the hide-bound journalist
as facility-by the weevil-eaten journal
ist as prosperity-or by the lazy jour
nalist as energy. Townsend has all of
these good Qualities, and he must expect
the spiteful criticism Of those who lack
themA
The work Of good correspondent is
a hard one. He must write rapidly.
crisply, and must divine the undertone
from the dimplings of the surface. He
has neither the leisure of the sanctum
or the local understanding Of the report
er. His work is III strange places and
among strange peopleand circumstances,
and he must weigh men and things
on the instant, and write with rapid re-
Election. Il would require more than
human understanding always to write
correctly.
It is therefore that Townsend, incom-
parable as he is in his swift sense of
comprehension and generalization, some
times errs-that, carrying the histories
of hundred places, cliques or cam
paignS in his head, he sometimes mis-
takes-or that his pen, urged by rich
blood and fine brain, sometimes over
paints a scene or misinterprets move
ment. But when you sift him down and
look for the bottom facts you will gen.
orally find that George Alfred is right
on the sense and fact of what he writes.
In the meantime he goes ahead, working
prodigiously and picking the SUM- shiny
side delignting the largest audience
held by any journalist, commanding
more salary than any half-dozen of his
detractors punched together, and easily
maintaining his supremacy among
American correspondents-as high above
the malice of his critics as the singing
skylark is above the dust. - atlanta
