Dealing with a Kicking Cow.

Speaking of blows makes re think of those milk-stool blows which fall On the ribs of COWS if they yieid to their impulse to kick a careless milker. l have seen gentle cows spoiled by pounding, but 1 never saw kicker cured by it. If any horned animal kicks you, t.y to make it think you like to be kicked. Kind treatment and the entire ignoring of kick from a COW will generally cure. Animals kick be- cause they are afraid of you, and can t get out of your way. Convince them that you won't hurt them under any circumstances and tho cause of the kicking is removed. For an unsafe or nervous COW, however, 1 use rope; about three-elghths rope i5 best. Tie a good snap to one end and string to the other, and have 1t about two and one-half feet long over all. Pass the rope around the left hind leg just above the gambrel joint, give it one twist Letween the legs and then snap the ends together outside of the right leg. and your COW is harmless. The more she i5 inclined to kick the tighter the rope may be twisted. Now keep this rope hanging just behind the kicker and you never need whip he. l use the same rope to break heifers, and after putting it on 8 few times therei5 no trouble in milking without it.-Farm, Stock and Home.

THE GAIN OF LOSS.

We hollowed the bed for our darlsng's rest And line it with roses white and red. And the sod aboVe it we softly pressed
 Sleep we'll" through cur gathering tears,
 we said.
 But ohi the desolste hours VIC spent In the silent home from which baby went We missed the batter of little feet
 And the broken music of baby talk: We were lost for the cares that had been so
 sweet
 When the fearless laddie began to walk, And scarce could feel that another Hand Was gu ding m now in the better land The lonely days, and the lonely nights:
 Had they ever gain our fond hearts knew! An. yesl for oft from the Heavenly he ghts, Came echoes float ng our darkness through; And the land beyond grew near and br ghL Where our beautiful baby lived in light And our lives were touched by hotter grace. And each to each gas bound the m re, For the dream in our souls Of little face,
 Waiting for US on the farther shore; And day by day we heard the chime Of bells beyond this passing time. There came to us. too. from the Daby's grave A tender thought for those who weep, And our hands were sw lter to bless and save, Our hearts in yearning love were kept; We were fain to cure each bitter ache, Or ease its smart for baby's sake. And so we have learned to count the gain,
 Where once we counted alone the loss; And so. through the bi:ter-sweet of pam,
 Have found L. e blessing within the cross. Thank God" we cry with rcVerent breath. "Fcr the life that is quickened but through

DEATH OF GEORGE LYNDE.

Some months since Mr.. George Lynde
who was suffering from a large cancer
on his neck had the same removed, the
operation was performed by Drs. j. w.
Martin and V. c. Eddy and was very
successful. Mr.. Lynde was about in a
short time after the operation and seemed
much better than for long time. The
relief, however, proved only temporary,
as the tumOr soon began to form again
and grew so rapidly that it became only
q question of days how long he might
survive unless something could be done
to stop its growth. At the urgent request
of Mr.. Lynde and his friends, Drs. J. w.
Martin, Eddy and Edwards visited him at
his house north west of Colby on Thurs
day last and proceeded to the operation
of removal of the tumor. The patient
was informed of the great and immediate
risk lnthe operation, but insisted if there
was any chance what ever that it be TAX
en-. The operation was then skillfully
performed but the interior tumors were
SO numerous and so closely involved with
the jugular vein that the unfortunate
man never rallied-no evidence of re-ac-
ton of any kind being noticed.
Mr.. George Lynde was a man highly
esteemed among his fellowmen, his in
fluence being ever toward progress and
square dealing, and the county st-large
will miss his great and active encourage
ment in all matters pertaining to the ad-
vancement of agriculture and stock rails
ing in our midst.
Mr.. Lynde was born in La Fayette Co.,
Wis, June Il, 1850, and from there went
to Richardson Co., Nebr., from whence
he removed to Thomas Co., Kans., in
the spring of 1885, and here has since re-
sided. He leaves surviving him his wife
and three young children. and aged
mother and four brothers-Mr. VIM.

friends. Services were held in the
Methodist church, Rev. L. D. Goodwin
officiating, interment taking place in

SAM JONES SAYS HE Is LIBERAL
WITH HIS MONEY,

The Parks Hill camp meeting
closed at Paris, Ky, August 9TH.
The Rev. Sam Jones was the princi-
pal speaker. He said that he re.
cieved $50 day for his services.
but that the money was spent by
him for charitable purposes, and
that money made by lawyers and
other professional men was boarded
up by them. Why" said he, ''they
are raising money at this camp to
build home for unfortunate and
destitute women, and yesterday |
gave $500 to it. Where is the man
who is abusing me for getting $3.50
a day that will give that amount?
Just before left my home in Car
tersville, Ga, | met lady in desti-
tute circumstances who had Just

Quality versus Quantity.

Hunt & Co. have demonstrated
the fact that the people of Marietta
want quality rather than quantity,
for by handling only the best of
everything and strictly pure goods
they have built up trade that has
certainly been very satisfactory to
themselves and now desire to ex-
press their appreciation by contriv-
ing to offer only such goods as they
can recommend as being pure and
healthful. Having for a long time
endeavored to keep always on hand
the best Jersey butter, they are now
prepared to always offer fine table
butter, which with the aid of re-
frigerator, they are able to keep
firm and in fine condition.
Dove brand hams and breakfast
bacon and pure leaf lard are among
their specialties. "Momaja" coffee
is the best blended coffee on the
market, and the Java and Mocha in
two pound tins is the certainly the
finest to be had. Their "Aime"
flour has made itself an, enviable
reputation and if you want good
bread or biscuits try 1t. Crockery,
glassware and table cutlery in full
supply.
Agricola's bread fresh every day.

A BLOODLESS DUEL.

II the committee room of the
Georgia Legislature last week, Hon.
Pat Calhoun stated that Mr.. J. D.
Williamson, Superintendent of the
Rome, Carrollton and Chattanooga
Railroad, tried to unload that Road
on the Central Railroad. Mr.. Will
Hanson denounced this statement
as unqualifedly false. Subsequent
ly Mr.. Calhoun demanded retrac-
ton of the offensive language. Mr..
Williamson refused to make it.
They agreed to repair to Cedar
Bluff, Ala, and fight duel.
After good deal of sensational
bosh, given by the Constitution, by
Bruffey and Barrett, chartering
trains, lodging Sheriffs, these duel
lists, with Capt. Henry Jackson as
Calhoun's second, and Jack King,
of Rome, as Williamson's second,
about dark Saturday evening, got
off their trains in Alabama, in about
two hundred yards of the Georgia
line, and at the command William
son fired five shots in rapid success
sion, and Calhoun one, reservlng
his other four shots, and then de-
handed retraction of Williamson
or he would fire the four remaining
shots. Williamson said he would
retract if Calhoun would say that
he meant no personal reflection up
on his integrity. After good deal
of parleying, Calhoun complied with
Williamson's request, and William
son did likewise, the duelists shook
hands, and the disgraceful farce
ended, and the public still wants to
know who told the lie. The only
bloodshed was the shooting of
Bruffey's little finger, while hand
ling one of the pistols.
1t is stated that Governor Seay,
of Alabama, will demand the ex-
tradition of the principals and Sec
onds tor violation of the law of
Alabama. We think Governor
Seay is right. Governor Lowrey Of
Mississippi extradited Sullivan, for
prize fighting, and will bring back
kilrain, and We see no difference
between brutal prize fight and
fighting a duel, save if anything
there is more bravery displayed in
lighting a prize fight. Both are
relics Of barbarism, not in keeping
with enlightened public senti-
ment, and should be frowned down
and severely punished.

MONDAY ASSOCIATION.
Hasty Words, Harsh Words and Hasty
Action.

After writing the above heading
for the thoughts to be presented,
especially when | contemplate ad-
dressing Christians and brethren, l
thought the head lines sounded
strangely, andyet the writer is fully
convinced that the time has come
when such will not be inappropriate
in addressing even Christians.
| wish to say few words on the
above subject to our churches com
posing the MONDAY Association.
Any one who was present at that
Association will readily agree with
me, that there has been in this
whole matter, too much talk and
too much haste on the part of both
sides. First, take the action of Rev.
Mr.. Martin. He had his credentials,
as minister, taken from him by a
church in Texas, and rushes to
Woodstock church in Georgia, ar
irving there on Thursday night be-
fore the Association was to meet on
Friday, joined that church, was
licensed to preach, and did preach
the same night. Was this not hasty
action on the part Of Bro. Martin
and the Woodstock church? And
did it not look like he was preparing
to be fully equipped for the Associa-
ton, and that it was matter of al
most life and death with him and
the Woodstock church? And was
not this action on the part of the
church disrespectful to the church
in Texas? Why the disrespect
Why the great haste? Then the
action of the Woodstock church
again In baptising a lady who was a
member OF another church at the
time. Dlsrespect and hasty action
again. Now the lady is not a mem
Der of any church, and how she is
to regain membership we cannot
see. Now for hasty words, notably
those spoken by a minister at Noon
day on Monday last. Spoken by
one who claimed to represent that
church, but We learn the words are
regretted and not endorsed by the
church. (This we learn from a
member Of the church,. HaSty, ~
authorized, cruel arords.
Again, hastily judging Bro. Mar
tin by those who have never heard
him preach. l am informed there
can be no serious objections raised
as to his sermons. But he goes
further and beyond the Gospel in
some OF his assertions. If, perchance,
some weak and struggling Christian
does not come up to the standard
erected by him, he takes the place
OF a judge in the case, and boldly
asserts that such persons have
never been converted, and this is
where the trouble begins, thereby
sitting in judgment upon others. If
We mistake not, We have read some
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1889-08-15

thing in 1.-The Book" that sounds
like this: Judge not, lest we be
judged
Bro. Martin should remember
that he was a comparative stranger
to the Association, and also, that
this part of Georgia has in the
passed, suffered immensely from
foreign evangelists. Many of our
churches have not yet recovered
from the effects of the work done by
this class OF preachers many years
ago. Under the circumstances then,
how can Bro. Martin expect to be
taken so readily and quickly into
the arms of the entire Association ?
Now, as to rebaptism: The
writer of this does not 60 so far as
to say that there are no circum-
stances under which this would be
advisable. On the contrary, we
think that there might be cases of
irregularity in the first instance,
where rebaptism would not be OBJ
jectiOnable.
Now, brethren, the Association
has passed upon the subject, mot
legislated as it was, and is not a
legislative body. They simply ex-
pressed an opinion, and an opinion
from such a body of Christians,
should certainly carry with it some
weight and be entitled to some re-
spect. Now, brethren, this question
is settled as far as the Association
is concerned, for the next twelve
months, at least.
Suppose we let our minds run
back over the whole subject, the
Association, the scenes enacted
there, Can we say truthfully, that
it was meeting in which we
sought the honor and glory of God,
and promotive of the great work Of
mi ssions and other kindred topics
that should have been before us
Or was it a meeting in which
"Martinism" was the central figure
Brethren, | feel like the time has
come when that word should be
emphasized more strongly than
ever Brethren, let us apply the
brakes to the wheels of the train of
harsh, uncharitable, and sometimes,
unchristian words. How sad, and
yet how true, that good brethren
will sometimes differ. There are at
MONDAY and Woodstock some
brethren who we cannot help but
love, and we don't propose to try to
help it, and shall always love them.
How true the words of the poet
when he says:
How sweet, how heavenly is the sight
When those who love the Lord,
In one another's peace delight
And thus fulfill His word.
