Our Poor.

During the past ten days the
weather has been as disagreeable
and solidly cold as we ever have
it in this latitude. And it brings
to mind the thousands over this
land who are destitute, the
thousands who are homeless and
without clothing sufficient to keen
them even comfortable, and manv
more, indeed, who have actually
suffered for want of bread. Man
of charity, have you thought of
these poor suffering ones as you
sat upon your carpeted floors by
your cracking, roaring fires ?
Have you dug down into your
pockets for the means that the
Lord gave you and contributed to
the relief OF these suffering ones?
IN, Christian, what have Won
done? Have yoa lived out your

To.your home beyond the river
Pain and sorrow enter never;
Beyond the dark, dark rolling deep,
Thou art in light no more to weep.
Though your form in the grave may lie,
Your spirit lives above the sky,
We sadly miss you from our home;
Yet to heaven you bid us come
Sweet sister, couldst thou come again
Where thou hast suffered so much painf
Wouldst thou come frsm thy balmy sphere
Thy sisters sorrowing heart to cheer2
AS kissed your lips, cheek and brow,
Your lips that are 80 silent now,
You said, dear sisters, both love,
But God now calls me from above.
ITO this our home, our earthly home,
The angel of death Oft hrst come.
And from our arms md weeping eyes
Has borne our loved ones to the skies.
"Our dear Savior go to meet,
Death, my dear sisters, death is sweet.
We've parents in that realm above
In heaven, home of light and love.
We've dear sisters and brother. toe,
Gone eternal mansions to view,
o cast your crowns at Jesus feet,
In heavens bright realm we can meet.
You and Mary both must come
To sing the songs We oft have sung
ALL safe in heaven we can shout
None of our band must be left out.
You've husband and children there,
Can come eternal joys to share. "'
All to heavens bright home can come
If sin they will forever shun.
Tell them God cheers the dying saint
With heavens bliss no word can paint,
And when your life on earth is done
The souls true life is just begun.
"a few more tears, few more signs
And God will take you to the skies;
He will mlatch sweet heavens door
And take you there forever more"
Sleep on sweet sister, gentle one,
God hath called your spirit home;
A crown Of beauty thou shalt wear,
So pure, 30 bright, 30 rich and rare,
Wen try to meet you in the skies
To enjoy rest Of paradise; ...
Wen live by faith aad hope to meet,
To cast our clown at Jesus feet.

Farming In Green Crops.

Is returning only to the soil the salts, silicates and organic matter which the plant has drawn out Of it, together with all the organic matter the plant itself has elabora- ted from oxygen and hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen, from what ever source derived. It has de- composed du.ing the short period of it's growth, more silicates and salts than the air only could effect during the same period, which, being turned in. restore to the soil from which they grew, salts and silicatcs iu new form, whose ac- tions on vegetables is like that of alkalics. But powerful as are the effects of green crops ploushed in, it is the experience of some practi' cal men that one crop allowed to perfect itself and die where 1t grew ana then turn in dry, is superior to three turned in green. The whole result is explained by the fact that dry plants givc more or ganic matter than green-Green plants fcrment, dry plants decay. A large portion escapes in fermen- tation, as gas and more volatile products are formed than during decay. The one is quick conSum- ing fire, the other q slow smOulkcr. ing ember, giving of during all its progress gases which feed plants and decompose the silicates of the soil. The power of fertility which exists m the silicates of the soil is unlimited.
 An improved agriculture must depend upon the skill with which this power is brought into action. It can be done by the conjuctive of salts. organic matter and plants. Boston Post,

Now York Sun,
 We have seen nowhere a contra dicton of the story that the Presi- dent recently used i'll public the expression, By he Great JchOra;' but we find two apoliglsts for such language i'll our esteemed contem- poraries, the Lancaster Intelligent cer and the Albany Evening Jour- nal, Republican both.
 The Pennsylvania journal thinks that even MT. Cleveland really used tEat form of blasphemy, he was no worse than Gen. Jackson. who on one occasion has been re- ported as swearing "by the Eter- nal.n The Evening Journal points out furthermore, that the identical words put into the mouth of MT. Cleveland were used hy Col. Ethan Allen in demanding the surrender oi Ticonderoga.-Excellents> s>Sthor, ities could be admitted ill such a ease.
 Even these, however,on the sup position that swearing might sometimes be admissible. would not justify Mr. Cleveland in this instance. The most reckless apol- egist for profanity would not look with the same profanity would not look with the same forbearance upon an exhibition of passion over discussion of New York and Buff falo money as upon wrath of Presi' dent Jackson when expressing his determination to throttle the least sign of resistance to the authority of the United States; or upon the solemn language of Col. Allen when calling upon the British comman- der 10 surrender Ticonderoga to the representative of the Continen- tai Congress.
 Still there can be no excuse at all tor any ones using blasphemous words, and we trust Mir. Cleveland has been misreported. At the same time we will forget that, although resident Jackson may have some times set a poor example in regard to his language, he was true blue Democrat, and the closer President Cleveland follows him in politics the better for him and for the country.

The two papers never agree on any

the same men. One is a Bill Morrison

vIoksbu-r,a Cation Market.

A@HHa4AHA 11HkaAH NA@H AaH
During the present season
Vicksburg has in a measure ad-
Vaneed its facilities as a
cotton market. New buyers, more
money and greater competition has
caused better prices to be paid for
cotton than in any of the surrounding
markets, not even excepting New
Orleans. Early in the season Allen
cotton went as high here as fifteen
cents and this price has been excteded
but upon one occasion and or one lot
in New Orleans during the season.
By selling in Vicksburg planters
have been able to save freight on their
cotton to New Orleans. This fact has
become noised around, and the result
is that all the planters, whose crops
have no lien on them, come to Vicks-
burg for a market. During the past
week a shipment was made to this
city from Grand Gulf, below here on
the river, by a planter who paid $3.50
per bale freight, The freight south,
to New Orleans, would have been
much less, but the sales here made it
OF more interest to said planter to send
his cotton here and sell than If he had
sent to New Orleans at reduced, or in
fact without freight. During last
week 1926 bales of cotton have come
from Kinds county to this city, and
twenty wagons, loaded, came in yes
terday on the Baldwin's Ferry road,
all seeking a market here. Early in
the season cotton from the section of
country, whence these wagons came.
went to adjacent railroad stations and
sought the New Orleans or Natchez
markets. The bouyancy Of the market
here has also had its weight in increas
ing the receipts this season, so far
above last. At this date there has
been received here this season 3l,20s
bales, and at the same time las
year u receipts were but 20,
O47, being 8.l55 bales ovel
last year. OF course we do not claim
that our extra Inducements have at.
tracted this one-third more of cottoI
to our city this season, as the crop il
general is much larger, but u price
and ready cash, of which we havI
known no want. has caused much o
it to seek our tables that would hav
gone elsewhere. This fact is a sourc,
of congratulation upon our part AM
we are assured by our business me-
that as soon as the third bank is estab
lished money will naturally becom
more plentiful and easily procured b.
buyers and a much greater improve
ment in our market will be seen.
