HUMOROUS.
Rescued ky Buzzaris.

A gentleman who lives in the eastern part of this county tells one of those stories that few peo- ple will believe "without seeing it." He says he was out fox hunting, and when the chase was at the beight of it's excitement his horse ran into an old well thirty feet deep. The horse was instantly killed by the fall, bat the rider was unhurt. The walls of the well had caved in at the bottom dis ,tance of three or four feet, and the gentleman says this prevented get ting out by digging foot,holds. Realizing his situation, he began to call for help at the top of hls voice, but nc assistance came. He was compelled to remain in the we'll all night, and next morning the stench arising from the dead carcass of the horse was anything but pleasant, aud he noticed that buzzards began to alight ill the we'll and 1t was then that bright idea struck him. He decided to catch the Luzzards hS the leg as they came down until be got d sufficient number 10 carry him out. That he did, and when he caught as many as his hands would hold, he showed" at them, and they flew up, carrying him ont of the well.
 But stifl the fox hunter was in a dilemma. The buZ1ards flew so rapidly that he could not turn losse when he reaceed tlfb top without falling back into the well. Upward the bpzzardS flew with their human freight, and the fox hunter began to despair ot his lie after all. When about 100 yards above tue ground the fox hunter was about to let go and fall, when he was struck by another bright idea. He decided to loose one buzzard at time until his weight would pull them downward, Act jag upon tk,s plan, he was soon landed safely upon the ground.
 The gentleman who tells this story tells it in all seriousness and ss though he actually b lieves it true, but it will be n colder day than any we had during the recent blizzard before he can get any body else to believe it.-Columbus En- Quirer.

Deep Flowing.
Workman

One of the maxims of "Poor Richard" which was read with in- terest by our grandsires, in his ia, nous ".Almanack, was to "Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and younl have corn to sell and keep.' This is one of those famous o4a ag. ricultural injunctions which have not outlivcd their day, but are just as applicable now as they were an hundred years agone. Deep blow ing is the only safeguard against excessive moisture or drOuths, be- sides, it is the only method which insures thorough culture. The blowing sedson is upon us, and now is good time to turn a new leaf" and begin work of better system of agriculture. Put good point on your B ow and then pu the lap-ring in the top notch; ''it will pay" bear this in m{rd.-Ex- change.

AGRICULTURAL.
Raising Cotton.

Our farmers have learned ere this, and many of them to their cost, that at present prices cotton is no: a profitable crop. The req son is now quite plain, it can not be produced at price at which the trade can afford to purchase it If we.cat reduce the expense of production we can enhance the profit to that extent. The ques- ton. which our farmers must of necessity face, and that soon, Is either tC raise much less cotton, or devise some means by which il can be produced at a much less cost than heretofore. This can be done we believe, but not under the pres ent systemof cotton farming. Moth, short of improved farming imple- ments, and better methods can bring this about. Truth'to tell, eV- cry article of production has large. ly symrnthized with the depres. sion in business affairs, prices have gone down, until there IS no ts.1 gin of profit. We of necessity must face the inevitable, and arrange to produce at a smaller cost, or else abandon the business. .-Rura and Work man.

The Folly of Profanity.

Among the sons and daughters of Adam there is a vast amount oi
 folly. Perhaps none of Us are free
 from 1t, and it may be that each one has a folly peculiar 10 himself; but there are some great follies in
 which many indulge as If by con ventional arrangement. Ono oi these, and too c)mmon, is that oi using profanc and vulgar language. Why is it donef On what social, civil. philosophical, psychological, chronological, biological, or any other logical principles are we to account for it' Is it a mark of wisdom? If so, some of the most arrant fools of the land bear this mark of wisdom. Is It sigu of bravery? No; for some of the most white-hvored towards to be found are much given to the prac' ticc. The plea of the gentility can not be put in for its defense, nor can that of politercss. If then 1t is neither wise, nor brave, nor po- lite, nor genteel, what under the sun is it' Simply to call it folly, and more, it is low, coarse and 'ul' gar. And whatever the. swearer may be otherwise, in this respect he lacks one of the primary prlnci- ples and prominent characteristics of true gentlemau. These are plain words. but they are true. It was, we believe, Dr. Sam Johnson who is reported to have said, "Liv- ing is the vice of slaves" and he might have said, "Profane swear ing is the vice of fools. .'--Advo- cat..

NIT. ". P. McElroy, of Browns town, called on the Chronicle last week. In speaking of the Alfalfa clover, Mir McElroy says that it pays better than any grass he ever trivd. After it gets set once it is there always. It has ore main root which goes straight down into the ground. MT. McElroy has some only three years old which has roots 3 feet long. These long roots protect it from being killed by drou,h. It can be cut four times a year thus making larg CT yield than any other grass Lockesburg Chronicle.
