"A xAN's happiness consists i

"A MANS happiness consists in what ha is, and not what he attains." This fell from Bro. Dale in his ser mon last Sunday, and struck center to a gospel truth. This explains why the poor can be happy as we'll as the rich, the former being the happier of the two perhaps, and es- pecially where there is any degree of contentment. Without thls, ei course there can be no happiness Happiness IS creature of internal conditions and not external. This truth ought to be graspcd by all the people. and fully understood and ap- propriated in the common every day life of every man and woman.

 Monticello Monticellonian Farm CTS tell us that the crops are begin ming to suffer some for want of ram. In consequence of the cold weather many failed to get a good stand of cotton and had to re re-plant. Thls last planting has had no rain upon it and consequently has not come up.

in such q way as to reap a large har- vest per acre, and improve his farm at the same time, this is the model farmer. Don't say you can't do it You can. You have only to try. Quit spreading out over all creation, or trying to, cut down your acreage, and improve your cultivation, and above all things, don't forget to bus band everything around you, and es- pecially look to fertilizing.

Bill Arp on Farming.

It's q wonder to me, says Bill Arp in the Atlanta Constitution, that ey cry body don't go to farming. Law yers and doctors have to sit about town and play checkers, and talk politics and wait for somebody to quarrel or fight, or get sick; clerks and bookkeePers figure and multiply, and count until they get to counting stars, and the flies on the ceiling, and the peas Tn the dIsh, and the flowers on the papefing: the jeweier sits by his window all the year round, working on little wheels, and the mechanic strike the same kind of lick every day. These people dc not belong to themselves. they are all penned up like conyic.s in cham gang, they can't take day nor an hour for recreation. for they are the servants of thelr employers. There IS no profession that gives man such freedom, such latitude, and such variety Of employment as farming.
 There's no monotony upon the farm. There's something new every day, and the chanking work brings into action every muscle Tn the hu- man frame. We blow and hoe, and harrow and SOW, and gather 1t in ut harvest time We look after the horses and COWS, the pigs and sows, and the rams and lambs, and the chickens and tue turkeys and geese. We cut our own wood, and raise our own bread and meat, and don't have to be stIngy of it like city folks. A friend who visited us not long ago, wrote back from the town that his grate don't seem bigger than the crown of his hat since he sat by our great big friendly fire place.
 1 may be mistaken, but it seems to me q little higher grade of happt- ness to look out upon the green fields of wheat and the lcatiing trees and blue mountains in the distance, and hear the dove cooing to her mate, and the whipporwlll sing welcome in the night, and hunt flowers and bubbv blossoms with the children, and make whistles for 'em and hear
 em blow, and see 'em get after ljumpin' frog or a garte. snake, and hunt hens nests and paddle in the branch and get dirty and wet all over, and watch their penitent and subdued expression when they go home, as Mrs. Arp looks at 'em with amusement and exclaims: "Mercy on me; dId ever poor mother have such set. Win I ever get done making clothess Put these on right clean this morning, and not another clean rag in the house, Go get me a switch, right straight, go! l will not stand itr' But she will stand it, and they know it--especially if re- mark. "Yes, they ought to be whip. ped" That saves 'em, and by the time the switch comes the tempest is oyer, and some dry clothes are found, and if there is any cake in the house they get it. Blessed mother! for tunate children What would they do without. her. Why her very scolding is music in their tender ears. I'm thankful that there are some things that corner in the do nestle circle that Wall street cannot buy nor money kings depress.

Crop Notes.

Melbourne Register: lizard county is coming to the front with fine fruit crop this year.
 Malvern News. The corn and cot ton are getting better start with the season than they did last year.
 Deat Mute Optic: Twenty four gallons of strawberries were gathered from the Institute garden, Thursday and Friday, l2 gallons each day.
 Philadelphia Standard: The pros pect for good crops seems to be very encouraging. Our farmer friends are all working hard and losing no time from their fields.
 Brinkley Argus: Corn and oats are looking finely but cotton is not generally looking so well-se have heard of some blowing up and plant ing over.
 Augusta Vidette: The peach crop of this section of country is very large, and unless care is taken to re move a portion of it, much destruc- ton to the trees must follow.
 Prescott Picayune: Setting ou, potato slips has been the order ol the day. The sweet potato crop sel- dom fails, and farmers as we'll as town folks, would do well to put in a good acreage.
 Harrison Banner; This has been most favorable spring for the farm CTS in one respect if in no other they have had plenty of time to kill the grass. Crops are clean. though everything is late and small. Straw berries are now in fashion, and very fine ones they raise in this vicinity
 Waldron Reporter: The crop pros pect is not as good as could be de sired. The recent cool weather to gether with the cut worms has in. jured cotton. The oat crop is very promising and if the seasons contin ue good there will be more oats rais ed in the county this year than evel before.
 Center Point Tocsin; The young fruit is falling of of the trees IT Hampstead County. It is supposed to be caused by the late frosts ir April. Some farmers have beer obliged to replant thelr cotton on account Of the first planting being destroyed by cut worms and coo weather.
 Pine Bluff Press Eagle: The cot ton IS ten days later than last season The acreage is one per cent greater The weather is more propitious than <, at this season last year. The plant looks we'll and is growing rapidly Fifty thousand acres have been planted in cotton in this county thi: season.
 Bingen Visitor: Mir. J. l.. Wessor showed us some heads of wheat this week more than four inches long and we'll filled. He says his wheat is good. Crop prospects are bright ening. Corn and cotton are growing and oats are excellent. Wheat |: better than it was thought few days ago it would be. 1t will be ripe for harvesting in six or eight days.
 Osceola Times: Above our desk hangs group of three very large hickory leaves brought in by one ol the hops. The largest of these leaves measures IS inches in length and lC l2 in width; the smallest 12 in length and 8 in width. Vegetables of all kinds are getting plentifuI.

The accumulation of money in the New York banks still goes steadily on and is one Of the most unsatis- factory features of the business situ- ation. At the end of last week the banks held about $60,000, ,000 in ex cess oi the legal requirement, the largest surplus recorded in their history. This fact shows that the existing stringency is not due to any scarcity of money-of money there is supcr-a abundance. The real diff ficulty is to be found in a lack of confidence on the part of capitalists which lndisposes them to invest ments, and a prudent caution on the part of business men which deters them from entering upon new en- terprises. The encouraging feature of the situation is that rock bottom has been reached without a panic, and that improvement, though slow, is sure.

Reports from Craighead, Critten- den ard other counties stase that Iocusts in vast numbers have ap- peared in that section. They are the first locusts in quantities ever seen in this state. They do not con fine themselves to any one kind of vegetation among the cereals. Corn and cotton as yet have not been touched, but wheat is being widely destroyed. The large timber tops of the tallest trees have loads of them. They are now confined to the woods, and are matching out by the tens Of thousands. There is much alarm felt for the growing crops.

THE ideal farmer. Picture him
 for yourself. No man but what has some ideal in his mind, and it is a pity but what the ideal was a good
 one, or, if it is, then it's $ pity it is
 not strong enough to influence the mans life. There is not farmer but what ought to be in some way an ideal farmer. Our ideal of farm is
 one where there is great deal of business, not so much acreage as care. Every avenue 10 prosperity guarded and every advantage hus- banded. The occupant makes every detail bend towards the general good. The man for instance, who makes his cattle self sustaining, who makes them yield him n fertilizing more than they cost him to support them;
 who has plenty of meadow, plenty Of oats, corn, few ares of wheat, a nice orchard, his fence corners clean, his potato patches and vegetable gardens large enough and his cotton patch small, strawberries and other small fruits plentiful, fat cattle, plen- ty of hogs and stock of all kinds around him. The ideal farmer drives his business. He experiments to improve, and reads to keep abreast of the times. He never overcrops himself, and therefore always keeps his crop clean. The man who farms

The present lease of the State pen itentiary and convlcts is said to be not very profitable. The lessees pay s4 per month for each convict, with transportation expenses, besides food, clothing and medical attention. To convey one prisoner from Fay etteville to Little Rock cost $14l.50. The prisoner remains but one year, for which the State receives $4S, making him cost the lessees SlS9.5O, besides food and clothing, with the chances of death or escape added thereto. Some sheriffs are in the habit of having "pienic" trips to Little Rock, when transporting pris oners, taking several friends along as guards" all at the expense ol the penitentiary lessees.--Washing ton Press.

Frostburg Defeats Cumberland.
A PRETTY GAME
Yields a Lovely Score OF Z to 8.

III pOlitlcS II Is Sdlu tudt IL Is tut
unexpected that happens. In baseball
so far as we know, the expression has
not passed into the domain of proverb-
ial philosophy, though the contest
Tuesday at the Frostburg Association
Park between the home nine and the
Cumberland club is notable case in
point. 1t may have been Cum
berland's day off, but emphatically it
was Frostburg's day on. Flanagan
wound them up for all he was worth
but the Frostburg sluggers knocked
all tune out Of them. Every person
expected to see our boys downed, as
they had never played together before,
but after the first inning the question
was not-"how many will Frostburg
be beaten Z" as most everyone realized
that Cumberland was doomed.
1t was very superior game. Elan
agan and O'Brien formed the battery
for the Cumberland nine and did very
fair work. O'Brien's hand was hurt
in the seventh inning and he was re-
lieved by Utter.
O'Brien and Quinn occupied the
points for the home team. O'Brien
pitched a remarkably strong game his
curves and "shoots" were so deceptive
that the visitors, who batted the Balti-
more pitcher pretty freely, could only
get a few scattering hits off his de-
livery. He also struck out seventeen
men, gave only two men their bases
on balls and made but one wild pitch.
Quinn supported him beautifully !;
threw with great precision to the bases,
and had only two passed balls. Several
times with two men on the bases were
the visitors retired without being able
to score, and in a number of innings
they were retired in one-two-three
order. Dillon caught rather difficult
fly on third, and Anthony "froze on
to one out in centre field. Kelley
seized everything that came near
short-stop, while Cosgrove guarded
second carefully and Davis accepted
all the chances at first, GOV ering it in
great shape. Stewart and Holt did
not have scarcely anything to do.
Of the scores made Daisy had two,
Dande one for the visitors, and for the
home team Holt and Kelly each made
three and Quinn brought in the
seventh run. The visitors fielded we'll,
Kelly making fine running catch at
second and Knieriem making bril-
liant throw from right field to third.
The home club might have made sew
eral more runs but for poor base-run-
ming.
The audience was wild and enthu-
siastic, and why shouldn't.it BET Did
not Cumberland boast that they would
wipe up the diamond with Frostburg 7
But they didn't and that's why we
laugh.
The visitors can not say they lost
the game through errors, or that our
club won it through errors. They lost
it because our battery was too effective
for them, and the home team won it
by skillfully welding tho willow.
1t was a very agreeable surprise to
the audience and we hope the boys
will give us another game like it when
they cross bats with Cumberland to-
day.
The following is the score:

The Great Pennsylvania to the West
Before making their arrangements, we
wonld advise all those who contemplate trip
to any of the Western States or Territories to
consult the many advantages offered by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Its train service is
quick and reliable, its employees courteous
and attentive, and its whole system, Gnclud-
ing switch and block signals and all other
modern appliances) the most perfect of any
railroad in the world. Speed, comfort and
general safety are nowhere else so surely
found, and a trip over its line is more akin to
the pleasures of holiday than the irkseme
journey of the ordinary railroad ride. Any
of its numerous agents will cheerfully furnish
such information as may be desired, and all
