a Boy Should Have a Trade.

What about the boy who does not
take up with a trade or profession2
Look around you, the question is
speedily answered. BE must cast his
hook into any sort Of pond, and take
such fab as may be easily caught. He
is sort Of tramp. He may work in
brick-yard to-day and in the har.
vest field to- morrow. He does the
drudgery and gets the pay Of the
drudge. His wages are 80 small that
he finds it impossible to lay up dol.
lar, and a fortnight Of idleness will
see him dead broke.
And now, my boy, If men tell you
that the trades are crowded, and that
so many carpenters, and blacksmitha,
ard painters, and shoemakers, and
other trades keep wages down, pay
no attention to such talk. Compare
the wages OF common and skilled
workmen. Take the trade which you
seem fitted for. Begin with deter.
mination to learn it thoroughly, and
to become the best workman in the
shop. Don't be satisfied 10 skin along

The Farm erS.


to buy seed oats, seed barley, seed
wheat and everything else he needs
to put into the ground. This is a
pretty state of affairs for a comuid-
nifty that pretenda to have farmers las
the dominant and controlling element
and who pay the taxes and run thiTgs
generally. We have good climate
and soil. Labor is all that is needsd
but it must be wisely directed. The
owner of the land must take char &
of it. lie cannot afford to let
ant with lean OK take the
ment Of his affairs. He must ~
hand aad must have small amou
of common sense. +
Farming is the best and snrest cal
ing. The man who follows it is nevA
in danger of starving. He can
ways have something to eat..and som$
thing to clothe himself and family
He can have it with light work AMI
small expense. A good living isa
dead sure thing.
But the farmers of the country will
not write on anything intended for
their good. They will find fault aid
split up into adverse factiona. without
the slightest excuse. II one has
found out how to save money by g.
new way of ploughing he would not
tell another the secret for all the
world. In many other like instances
they are secretive and do not commu.
nicate to each other matters of the
most vital Importance to the prosper
ity and success of the occupation.
All other occupations have leagues,
unions and associations but the farm.
ers will have none of it unless it is e
kind Of secret organic stion like the
Grange which made more money for
the man who got it up than for every
man, woman and child who was sd.
mitted to it.
The inspiration of the thing was
wrong. In fact it wa9 an attempt to
kill out the merchants by force and
arms as if they were all a thieving, op-
pressive and uncomfortable set. No
man made anything out Of the Grange
except to get an insignificant Office
and wear brown linel apron at q
country barbecue. Of course the
farmers furnished the barbecue and
were at the expense. The town crowd
and tho boys and girls ON til" coun-
try had the fnn and profit. The farm
era didn't get their goodssny cheaper
and went on in the same old way
raising cotton and bnying everything
needed.
Things will be no better however
until the farmers take things into
their own handa. As long as they
come TO town and allow three or four
lawyers to conduct their meetings
they will never be any better than
th " are how.-Abbcpilh DL'olinm.

The New Postal Card, which will

Voice Of Warning.

As you walk our streets You will
see almost every man and boy you
meet with pipe, quid or a cigarette
in their mouths. How often are they
pale, and complaining, and often unfit
for business. A change OF climate
will be suggested for their health
when indeed it is only necessary for
them to leave off the use OF tobacco
1t will of a certainly cause nervous
ness, weakness, disease Of chest and
stomach, and weaken their mn.cle
and power Of thought. 1t dwarlf
their bodies and under mines their
health, and destroys their mental
vision. 1t produces indigestion and
low spirits, and ends in shipwreck
OF the general health, and finally an
early death. Figures chow that near.
ly two million men and boys are on
this road to destruction, and nothing
else will restore them to their wonted
health but to abstain from this useless
practice.

Local option In Georgia,
The Result Achieved BY a Long Prohi-
bition Campaign.

ATLANTA, GA, September 10
The Local Option bill has been pass
ed by the House as it came from the
Senate, and is now law. The bill
provides that upon the application for
prohibition signed by one tenth Of the
voters in any County, the Ordinary
shall hold an election to determine
whether or not apiritnous liquors
shall be sold in that County. All
persons qualified to vote for melnbers
Of the General Assembly are qualified
to vote in this election. The tickets
shall be written For Sale" and
Against Sale" II the result of the
election should be against the sale
the Ordinary shall give notice once q
week for four weeks and the Act
shall take effect as soou as the re
suit is ascertained, lexcept as to the
vested rights Of persons whose an
nual license has not expired. If
the result of the election should he
: for sale," no other election on the
question shall be held in that Com ty
within less than two years. When
any County goes "against the sale
no person shall sell or barter, direct
ly or indirectly, or give away at his
place Of business, or furnish at any
other public place, any alcoholic, spir-
ituous, or malt liquors, or any other
drinks which produce intoxication
Nothing in the bill is to prevent the
manufacture, sale and use of domes
tic wines or cider, or the sale eof wines
for sacramantal purposes, provided
they are not sold by bar rooms at re-
tail.
Licensed druggists will not be pre-.
vented from selling or furnishing pure
alcohol for medicinal or scientific pur-
poses. No election can be held II any
place where the sale of spirituous
liquors is directly prohibited either by
high license. local option, or other
leh hislation, 80 long as these local laws
remain in force. This is the Local
Option bill, which represents the
climar'of long prohibition campaign.
1t is probable that under its provi-
sions nearly 100 elections will be
held in this State between now and
the end Of the year.

GOD VS.. CREMATION,
From the Pioneer Press

Tn the second chapter of Amos and
the first verse, may be found the fol-
lowing:-'sFor three transgressions
of Moab, and for four / will not
turn away the punishment thereof ;
because he burned the bones OF the
King of Edom into lime" Also see
2 Kings 3rd chapter and n v.
"Earth to earth and dust to DUST"
has been the accustomed sentence
over the dead. Whatever Jesus
did, man can afford to do With i'm
punity With full assurance that his
teacher knew all things and did them
well. After his death he was shroud-
ed and placed in the sepulcher and
upon His resurrection, graves burst
ed and saints arose to praise the once
crucifed, but risen Savior. The
diseases about which SO much is be-
ing said have their origin in the filthy
huts of the living and not from the
graves of the dead. tits the way in
which God would have the living
honor the dead and have no respect
for that class who burn the dead bo-
dies to prevent diseases. God 80 ar
ranged the earth to receive all kinds
of animal and vegetable life after
death, and it has the power to trans
form them into their original elements
Of purity. What is death to man, is
life to vegetation, and vegetation,
from which man is made, is the life
of man. Scientific mon tell us to
bury dead dogs, cats, &c. about fruit
trees on tho decline and that they
will receive new life and reproduce
fruit. This fruit can be, and is eaten
without detriment to man. The
body of man would do as we'll as that
of cats, dogs, etc, and We could eat
the fruit Of them with safety and en-
joyment, but for that part of creation
made little lower than Angels, we
adore and feel duty bound to consign
it to its final resting place with as
much decency as our means will al
low us.
