Yankton have gained materially in
wealth, as is shown by com.
parison of the figures for 1883
with those Tor 1884. The southern coun.
ties of Clay, Custer and Dawson have
lost in wealth during the year. The new
counties of Edmunds. Fall River, Fau!k,

Much Honey With Little Labor.

/ believe that the amount of labor
really necessary to get good, fair crops
of honey per colony of bees has by many
writers been oyer-estimated. / do not
claim that the plan | shall propose will
give the very largest yield which it is
possible to get, but ] do claim to get a
large yield with the least possible labor.
To make this plan success, the follow
ing conditions must be observed:
First, the bees must be in movable
frame, chaf hive, with large storage
room. Second, the bee-keeper must
have some knowledge of bees, so as to
know what to do and when to do it.
Now take for example a certain colony
| set apart to test this plan, October l,
1882, in a chaff hive, with plenty of win
ter stores, with chaff cushion in the up
per story to cover the bees. The lid was
not raised again until in March, when it
was raised and comb or two lifted just
to see for certainty that the queen was
there, and which fact was known by the
presence of brood. 1t was not touched
again until the fruit bloom was out, and
it could be seen by outward appearances
that the colony was getting strong.
Then the chaff cushion was removed,
and at the same time the surplus combs
were placed on, all being done at one
time. No more work was done
until July, when fifty and one-half
pounds of honey was taken with the
and combs again returned and.
left until October l, 1888, when what
surplus they had was taken-about ff-
teen pounds, The combs were put
away, and the cushion again placed or
for the winter
It will thus be seen that got sixty
five pounds extracted honey, and only
opened the hive four times in the year.
They gave no swarm, but l took bees
enough from them to start nucleus

The dew drops glow like precious gem
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
Bntshe's never a moment to look at them
The men are wanting their breakfas

She must not Iinger, she must not wait

Are what the men give when the meal:
are late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning
Ii she would but look over hills and
trees;
But there are the dishes and here is the

Those things must always yield to these.
The world isiilled with the wine of beauty,
II she could but pause and drink 1t in
But pleasure she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed in sin.
The days grow hot and her hands grow
weary;
Oh. for an hour 70 cool her head,
Ont with the birds and winds so choery!
But she must get dinner and make her
bread.
Th busy men in the hay field working,
Ii they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would call her lazy, and call it shirking,
And she never could make them under
stand.
But after the strife and weary tussle
When life is done, and she lies at rest
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her SONS and daugters shall call her
blest.
And think the sweetest joys of heaven,
The rarest bliss OF eternal life,
And the fairest crown Of all will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

| EDITOR CLARION: In your issue of
August q is an article ON prohibition
signed "Fabius." / am not surprised
that the man who wrote that article re-
fused to sign his name He says Il have
always believed that to say to a man he
| should not hare aehtskey sharpens his ap.
petite for it, and that such law would
create an opposition which would cause
Its repeal, and the people then to show
their freedom and independence, would
run into the opposite extreme. Then
to say to man, Thou shalt not commit
murder, and the penalty of hanging,
when enforced, only creates reaction,
and will cause the law against murder
to be repealed. We have many laws
against sin and wickedness, not that we
wish to compel men and women to serve
the Lord, but for the protection of our
homes. But according to Fabius these
laws increase the desire to impose on the
innocent and helpless.
Fabius says "Prohibition in principle
is wrong. It proposes to deprive 80 good
men of privilege, a comfort, because
the hundredth man abuses that priVi-
lege" That is, prohibition depriYes SO
good men of the privilege of being
tempted to drink and spend their living |
and finally to fill a drunkard's grave.
Yes, men for money must be allowed by |
law to tempt and finally ruin many of
the 80 good men; the hundredth man is
already ruined, perhaps has brought his
aged mothers grey hairs in sorrow to
the grave, and blighted the happiness of
his own family. Fabius wants liberty,
legal liberty, to place temptation be-
fore your sons, that judging the future
by the past will make many of them
will disqualify them to serve
The State, and cause it to be said, "He
was jolly, good fellow, it is pity he
killed himself drinking; he would have
been useful man if it had not been for
whisky; am so sorry for his mother
md his wife and children; that is nice
young man-whose son is he? Yes, and !
knew his fatherbefore he killed himself {
lrinking."
Fabius calls the opposition to all this !
uin and wretchedness, fanaticism. If :
aboring to save "99 good men" from |
and ruin is fanaticism we t
want more fanaticism. This Alcorn $
.ounty, is largely Democratic, and
arge majority are in favor Of prohibit ]
ion as proved in the last election, and {
We do not propose to be driven out of d
he Democratic party by Fabius, but we '
intend to vote for Democracy and pro- e
Libition. Fahius says, ats (prohibition) 5
bjeet is to divide and confuse the party, c
hat its enemies may triumph as hereto /
ore." This is a mistake. There will '
,e no division unless caused by Fabius t
nd those who cooperate with him in /
opposition to the Democratic prlnci- t
lie that the majority of the people shall v
ule, whether it be in legalizing the ruin '
nd wretchedness caused by whisky or /
our families by prohibition. i

finding that the ''ton" only weighed
eleven hundred pounds, he rang the
bell three times. The driver of the
coal cart fell dead of shock, and the
horse, an animal which had been in the
business for seventeen years, was so
startled at the unaccustomed sound
that he ran away, killing a prominent
citizen and fatally injuring seven cam

event has cast a gloom over the COM

KIDNEYS. and sleeps kidneys

The Flag Of the Twenty Eighth Mis-
sissippi

EDITOR CLARION: In answer to your
suggestion in THE CLARION of the Sd
inst, I give you little sketch of an in
cident which occurred during Hood s
campaign as | have heard it related i:
The Federal cavalry falling back before
Hoods advance into Tennessee, made a
stop between Columbia and Franklin,
or rather in the neighborhood immedi-
ately south of Columbia. Schoield
with his corps, was trying to make the
fortified stronghold of Franklin before
Hood, who was close upon his tracks
could come up and close with him at
Columbia. The Federal cavalry, skill
fully handled and massed, was thrown
across Hoods line of march and occupi-
ed ridge of eminence, the most promi-
nent point of which was Mount Carmel,
upon which stood a sweet and inviting
little church which gave the name to
the immediate locality. Here, to the
right and left for the space of mile or
more, east and west, was posted the
enemy's cavalry. Jackson's Division of
Confederate cavalry, composed of Ross
Texans and Armstrong; Mississippians,
occupied the right of our line-Arm-
strong of the extreme right, advancing,
dismounted, Jackson's division was soon
engaged in fierce and sanguinary strug-
gle. .
The flag of the 18th Mississippi Regi-
ment carried on that occasion by pri-
vate from Bolivar county, name un-
known, was a gift from the ladies of
Columbus to the regiment, when on its
way from Mississippi to Georgia in 1868.
Jackson's division advanced and after q
severe and bloody contest captured and
occupied the position held by the enc
my, inHicting and suffering very heavy,
loss. During the action the fag-bearer
of the 28th was shot down, and, before
the flag touched the ground it was
caught by private Hume of the city of
VicksbuTg, who, IN his turn, was shot
down, when it was seized by 1t. E. j.
McGarr, also of Vicksburg who handed
it to private Thomas Groome, also Of
Yieksburg who carried it until he was
severely wounded, when it was caught
BY some other gallant soldier of the
regiment and carried by him through
the remainder of the fight, and until
the red field was won. This incident
was frequently referred to as showing
the fine esprit de corps which prevailed
ii our haTrassed and decimated army,
even as late as December, 1864, and the
presence of mind and valor of our troops
which prevented the flag Of the regi-
ment. though in such an exciting action
from going out of sight or being trailed
on the ground even for an instant Il

Of how feariessly and weII the Missis-
sippians bore themselves IN the great
