"a Republican,, n Democrat, and n
Prohibitionist went up to the temple TO
pray. The Republican stood, and with
his face toward heaven prayed: % Lord,
we thank Thee that we are not like other
men. We thank Thee for the pure.
incorruptible, holy Republican party.
We thank Thee that all Democrats are
liars, and all Prohibitionists are fools,
and that we alone are good. We have no
special favors to ask, knowing that to be
content Thou must Of necessity be with
u.s.
The Democrat prayed thus: % Lord,
Thou knowest we do not often bother
Thee with our prayers. Yet there be a
few things wherein Thou canst be of
service TO us. Bless Cleveland, Lord!
but curse his civil service. Bless the
Prohibitionist in the North, but damn
them in the south. Bless Minnesota and
thy little Norwegian, Knute Nelson, bu,
curse Pennsylvania and that traitor Sam
Randall
The Prohibitionist fell on his knees, as
usual, and prayed: 20 Lord. Thou know.
est we have done little else but pray, lo
these many years. Now we are going "a

stand by and see fair play while we show

Colonel Arnold A. Rand's opinion of
General Sheridan: "Perhaps the trait
of character most conspicuous was his
alertness. His personal memoirs will

There is no name of all the leaders of the

our corn, our oats, our molasses, our

bees and honey, our potatoes and

ton is harder to rai-e than either

SWEET POTATOES.
AN ExpERlMENT WORTH TRYING.

Last October the Jackson Clarion
published an interesting commune
cation about sweet potatoes By Rev.
9. K. Marshall. AS sweet tater'
time is approaching, we reprint the
article and recommend our readers
to set aside few rows in each patch
anc make the experiment suggested.
/. The best sweet potatoes grow
from the last years vines. These
must be preserved from heating and
freezing, and put in ten inch lengths,
and planted. Tho practice. is very
old. Try 1t.
2. Cut off oil your vines as close
to the ground as you can before
frost. Frost is fatal to the potatoe
If it touches the vine. If you don't
wish to use your vines for ro1gb
fodder you may pile them on the
rows of your potatoes and throw
dirt on them to protect tho stems
just cut, from frost.
3. ileave your potatoes in the
ground thus protected as long as
yon please. In Kentucky they leave
them there all through the Winter. In
this climate you need have no fears
of damage by freezing if properly
covered.
4. An interesting fact: Your pota.
toes will grow hundred per cent
moro after you have cut the tops Oft
and covered them with a plow. Not
only so, but they will be sweeter,
sounder and better. They will dou-
bic every way in six or eight weeks.
You doubt? Well, set off two
rows and dig. Then cut the vines
off two rows and leave them till
January, and then dig them and
make demonstration for yourself.
s, Once more. IF you will save
your potato vines and cure them for
your stock, you will find then the
best food for milch COWS you ever
tried, and every four. footed animal
devonr them with great relish, while
they will fatten on them to your
satisfaction.
