Capt. E. G. B. Lee returned with his
wife from a three months sojourn in
Warsaw, Ala, last Friday. He came
back to remain. Indeed, he never in
tended to move his habitation, and he is
less in that mind now, for he is more
firmly convinced than ever that Middle
Tennessee is the best country to live in
he ever saw. Such expressions come
from nearly every one who tries some
other country a while.

Ducks.

Ducks, when properly cared for,
pay very satisfactory returns, the
profits from them being much
greater as rule than from ordl'
nary poultry, as they require less
grain food and attention when part
ly grown. There are many of our
farmers who, having a small run or
creek on their places, could add
considerably to their income by
breeding ducks in connection with
their other poultry. They are hardy
and but little experience is required
to conduct their breeding properly.
A trio of fine breeding ducks will,
If kept laying continuously, the
first clutch of eggs and even the
second being set under common
hens, the ducks not being permitted d
to set until rather late in the season,
furnish quite large flock of young
birds annually, as high as 80 hav-
ing been secured from single trio.
Farmers, give them a trial.

A correspondent OF the Kansas
Farmer says he has been expert

farm stock, and finds one acre of it
equal to an-acre of corn. His cattle
eat it readily, consuming stalk and

fat as a corn-fed stock. He plants
in hills, about double the quantity
he would use if he were cultivating
for syrup, and when the seed is
ripe, cuts, shocks, and cures, same

Thew ara Stranrers Now.

A Middleton young lady never tires
of relating an amusing occurrence of
the sleighing season last winter. She
was enjoying ride with two Hartford
gentlemen and she was driving. One
OF the gentlemen slyly inserted hand
in her muff and lovingly pressed her
disengaged hand. She blushed and
withdrew it just as the gentleman on
the other side slipped his hand in the
muff She knew by the action of her
adorers that the hand pressuzes were
frequent and loving within the silk
lining Of the muff, Tor first one face and
then the other would bob forward to
catch look at the sweet face and eyes
which prompted, as they supposed, the
tender pressure OF the hand. This by
play lasted until the young lady quietly
remarked: at yon gentlemen are
through with my muff will trouble
you for it now, as my hands are getting
cold.' And the gentlemen, who had
been comfortably warm up to this time,
suddenly felt an Arctic chill creeping
up their spinal columns and the mer-
curry of their feelings dropped to $50
degrees below zero. The two gentle
men are strangers now.

The Clean Newspaper.

There is a growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which make
it their special object to minister to a
perverted taste by seeking out and serv-
ing up in seductive form disgusting and
licentious revelations. There is good
reason to believe that the clean newspa-
per is more highly priced to-day than it
was four or FIVE years ago. 1t is also safe
to predict that, as people in all ranks Of
life who protect their own, at least from
contamination, become conscious of the
pernicious influence of certain class of
journals, called enterprising, because they
are ambitious to serve up dirty scandals,
they will be careful to see that the Jour
nails they permit to be read in the family
circle are the class that never forget the
proprieties of life. Already men and
women of refinement and healthy morals
have had their attention called to the per-
nicious influence of bad literature, and
have made commendable efforts to count
eract the same by causing sound litera-
ture to be published and sold at popular
prices. These efforts are working silent
but sure revolution. The best authors
are more generally read to-day than at
any previous date. The sickly, senti-
mental story paper, and the wild ranger
and pirate story books, are slowly but
surely yielding the field to worthy claim
ants. To the praise of the decent news
paper, it may be said that where it has a
place in the family, and has been read for
years by young as we'll as old, it has de-
veloped such healthy tone and such dis
eliminating taste that the life nature of
the slums has no admirers Fortunately,
the number of such families is increasing
in the land, and as they increase, the jour
nal that devotes itself to sickening revela.
tions of immortality will be compelled to
find its supporters solely among those
classes who practice vice and crime, OF
are ambitious to learn to follow such
ways.-Printer's Circular

Where Does the Sin Commence ?

To drink deeply--to be drunk--is a
sin; this is not denied. At what point
does the taking of strong drink become
sin The state in which the body is
when not excited by Intoxicating drink is
its proper and natural state; drunken
ness is the state furthest removed from
it. The state of drunkenness is the state
of sin at what stage does it become a
sin ? We suppose man perfectly sober
who has not tasted anything which can
intoxicate; one glass excites him, and to
some extent disturbs the state of sobriety,
and so far destroys it; another glass ex-
cites him still more; third fires his
eyes, loosens his tongue, infiames his pas
sions fourth increases all this (; fifth
makes him foolish and partially insane /;
a sixth makes him savage; seventh or
eighth makes him stupid-a senseless, de-
graded mass his reason is quenched, his
faculties are for the time destroyed.
Every noble and generous and holy spirit
and principle within him withers, and
the image of God is polluted and defiled.
This is sin, awful sin ; For the drunk
ard shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
But where does sin begin At the first
glass, at the first step towards complete
intoxication, or at the sixth, or seventh,
or eighth Is not every step from the
natural state of the system toward the
state of stupid intoxication an advance
in sin, and yielding to the unwearied
tempter of the soul John Bright

taken into the corral, driven through
shute, branded with 7 on their right
and left sides, and then turned loose, the
recognized property of this ranch, If found
two hundred miles away. An idea of the
increase of these herds is obtained from
the fact that 1900 calves will be thus
branded on this ranch during this season.
Here is the most perfect animal life
possible. Having almost the freedom of
wild beasts, in an equable climate, with
abundant grass and water and the care
that supplies shelter and food in seasons
of unusual rigor, the three or four years
that a steer enjoys before he is shipped for
market is enviable among beasts which
provide for themselves.
This visit at the ranch was regretfully
short to us. Six miles again at rapid rate
over these plains in the clear morning
air are too quickly passed, and then the
train bears us eastward with happy re-
membranes of great hearted ranch
man, whose hand deals as literally to his
fellowmen as for the herds and flocks
that minister to his wealth.-Pr9teSSor
