ceeded on the few acres when her father
had failed, and so I believe that many
women are as well suited for this calling
as the majority of men who engage in it.
s'Far BETTER" says a iberal-minded
man farmer in our midst. ''She is more
afraid of debt. She has not the same
temptations to spend money outside Of
home. She is not SO easily discouraged.
She better knows how to economiZc in
little things, and then you know when a
woman wills she will. To these requi-
site qualities We must add strength Of
character and love of home. If she have
all these, and feels that she would like to
try the farmers life, then let her come
to our Southern land, if she SO wills, and
buy only what she can pay for. Far
better only five acres all paid for, and
with something to improve 1t, than two
hundred, with debt hanging over it.
Indeed, I am inclined to think the Git
tie farm well tiled" is the right thing for
the South at present, especially for the
woman farmer, who comes here from
other sections. She may not grow rich
as fast as her sister who goes West. In |
deed, I doubt if she ever viii be rich, as
the world thinks of riches; but she may
know abundantly the true life OF ones
own vine and fig tree, under softer skies
and q mlder cline, where all the rates
OF living are lower than North or West,
and she can have the comfort of near
schools and churches. Her
life will lie in quiet ways; but if she set
the example of a carefully managed busi-
ness, weD-ordered home, well-trained !
family-if under her care neglected |
fields be slowly changed to blooming
or fragrant clover lands, while
over her home roses and vines Chamber,
and her bees drone, and her busy hens
sing through the long summer days, she
may well feel that she is of use in her
day and generation; as surely public
benefactor as ne who makes two blades
Of grass grow where only one grew be-

vile. = magnificent reception awaited
The Democratic nominee Democrats
shoDte2 themselves hoarse at the pres
cnce OF their young leader. They rushed
into the car and half overpowered him.
They cheered him and patted him on
the shoulder. They called him 'Bob'
and called him Governor, and lfpulled
an,; half carried him out upon the plat
form, where was struggling mass seeking
to speak to him. Finally the procession
formed, and through the streets to the
hotel It was a trilmphal march. The
speaking was well attended, and both
attracted the favorable comments of their
partisans. No new points were devel-
oped by either.
At Dayton, in Rhea county, which is
decidedly close on full vote, hundreds
turned out to give the rival brothers an
ovation. Bob Taylor wore the white
rose and ALI the red The cue has been
caught up from place to place, and now
a mans politics may be seen by the color
Of the rose or rosette which adorns the

contests of the houses of York and Ian

OF Taylor is involved. The gallant Bob,
besides this decoration, looms up con-
spicuously in his now famous white felt
hat. It goes faithfully with him every

the white plume of Hing Henry of
Navarro before the battling French hosts

A WARNING TO TGsT.ATGRS.

Tile election of the sisters and grand
neiccs Of the late Mr.. Tilden from Gray
stone by the executors OF his peculiar
will is probably only the BEGINNING Of q
long series of events bordering upon
scandal to result from that document.
While there can be no doubt that the
executors are within their legal powers
ard perhaps their legal duties in order
ing Mrs. Pelton and children OF that
lady's son to find another place OF abode
on five days notice, neither can there be
any doubt that in consideration OF the
tragic relations Of the late Colonel Pelton
to Mr.. Tilden (Which are public and
notorious) such collision is one greatly
to be deplored and should have been
avoided if possible.
The truth is, that lIr. Tldcn's will
was the crowning example OF q procrasti-
nation which always perplexed and often
alenated his associates, both in business
and in politics. He possessed mind OF
extraordinary ingenuity, capable OF pro
found thought and intricate plotting,
but sadly lacking in executive determl-
nation at critical moments for action.
He planned beneficient disposal OF the
bulk of his great property for public
uses, but never was resolute enough to
put the plan himself into operation, and
died shifting it to the discretion OF three
gentlemen, whom he took especial pains
to fortify against own kindred, but took
no pains to constrain to carry out lis
purpose at any definite time or III any
definite way.
The subject is fair one for public
comment and criticism, in consideration
of those uses declared in the Will il
which the public has distinct interest
to the amount OF several million dollars,
although there may be may be no legal
means of enforcing that interest. It
adds another to the innumec;tblc warn
ings to men OF great property az:
benevolent intentions to do their go2t.
works s'while It is yet day and they can
themselves supervise the execution c.
their projects. Y. Herald.

Home PolitencSs.

a boy who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every one
else. A boy lacking poiteness to his
parents may have the semblance Of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, OF betraying his real
wan, ci courtesy. We are all in danger
Of living too mucn ior the ortside world
for the impression which we make =:
society, coveting the good opinions Of
those who are ii {; sense part OF our
selves, aat, Who Will continue to sustain
and be interested IL us, notwithstanding
these defects Of the department and

every gil, cultivate the habits Of cour-
tesy and proprie' : az uoIc-in the sit
