The Model Farmer.

He should not buy more land than he
can pay for easily, and till TO advantage.
The hardest thing to raise on farm is a
mortgage. Thirty or forty acres carefully
cultivated will prove more profitable than
two hundred on which the same care and
labor are expended.
He should not have more stock than he
can shelter well and keep in good order
through all the season. 1t is poor econo-
my to stint cattle through the winter and
expect them to do as well in the coming
spring at they would under generous treat
ment A man should be merciful to his
stock not only because of moral considera-
tons but because it pays best in the end.
Cattle that are stoned by the boys, kicked
by the men and worried by dogs; are not
likely to thrive in flesh or milk. Such
treatment is silly, brutal and every way
Improbable. The occasions are very rare
where beasts of burden-horses or oxen
are benefited by the application of the
rod. People who wreak their insan(S Err,

source of satisfaction and contentment; if
the balance is on the other side he will as

new courses "Book farming" is no lon
ger despised by intelligent men. 4
He should make his home and its i'm
mediate surroundings as pleasant as his
means will permit. He should at least
take as much pride in identifying his home
and supplying it with the comforts and
conveniences, if not the luxuries of life, as
he does in having fine or blooded stock and
neat and large outbuildings. A proper
regard for the happiness of those whose
duties lie chiefly within doors would dictate
this. The 'matters of the house. arc of
primary Importance, for what after all is
the chief end of labor but to make the
home-life happier and better. Half the
dulness and monotony Of life on the farm,
driving the boys and girls to the towns
and cities, would be banished if the same
pains were taken to make the home beau
tiful and attractive that are taken by most
residents of towns and cities
The successful farmer will do his work
in season. There is no business where reg
ularity is more essential than in farming.
The merchant and the manufacturer can
cover ground lost by neglect or inattention
easier than the farmer. The farmer who
is chasing his work all the year round,
trying to catch up with it, is doomed to
ultimate failure.

TIE pavements on some Of the
principal streets of the city are very
much in need of repair, and measures
of some kind should be adopted that
will place them in good condition
This state Of affairs can no longer be
attributed to the roofing propensities
of the swine family, for they have
long since been denied the free
range of the city. The pavements,
in many instances are simply worn
out and should be re-laid with new
bricks. A clause in the city charter
and ordinances, which we have not at
hand at this writing, provides rem

Frederick Warde appeared at Fora's

hearty, but as the play proceeded the
audience became more and more enthu-
siastic, and after the third act he received
three recalls before the curtain;and after
the great forum scence the enthusiasm
was unbounded, and amid a general
hand clapping and bravos he came out
four times, and finally made a short
speech, saying that he thanked his su,.
dience greatly, and that it was with ins
estimable gratitude he heard their APP.

times, and each time he thought he had
made step higher. In 1876 he played
Othello to Booths Iago He also had
played Macbeth with Mrs Waller, and
several times he has had the pleasure of
appearing before Baltimore audience;
hut now he came as star, and, il he
could judge from their approval, he

Gains and Losses In Gotten Re-
ceipts.


The receipts Of cotton at Aberdeen for
the season commencing September LIST
1888. up to January End 1884, footed up
20 1893 bales against 1879 bales tosaine
date last season; gain of ,4S1 bales.
The receipts of cotton in Columbus
from September LIST 1883 to January
3rd 1884, amounted to 1912 bales,
against 2S,717 to corresponding date last
year, lo.s of 2, 400 bales.
As our new rail road which was ex
pected to be completed in time to give
us decided advantage over Columbus in
the matter of freights, is not yet done,
and as Columbus had great expectations
from the Columbus and Fayette road
and the boats of the Tombigbee Trans
portation Company, we hardly know
how to account for her loss and our gain
in the matter of cotton receipts unless
we assume that the higher price paid for
the staple ia this market has had the
effect naturally to be expected under
such circumstances.

LITTLE ETHRAL STOCKTON.

LITTLE ETHRAL STOCKTON.
Just twice had little Ethral seen
The earth arrayed in emerald sheen
Twice had hoary winters frown
Wreathed the oaks with snowy crown;
When her soul so pure and bright,
Left the earth for realms Of light.
Scarce was launched her tiny barge
On her book of life, not q charge;
Bright she stands ut the shining throre
No thought of sin has she ever known
For at our dariug's tender age
Life is e'er a stainless age.
Far beyond this vale Of tears
She'll never feel the weight oil years
But ever free from sin and care
On shining wings her spirit fair
Will soar beyond the reach of time
In the glorious light of heavenly Cline.
