Written For the Democratic Advocate,
BY LLOYD DAY.
soft-soiemn, sadning stiffness broods-
Sweet, mournful, mystie-breathing;
While Autumn round fair Natures brow
Her golden hues are wreathing.
There rests a shade of mournfulness,
On fading leaf and blossom,
AS beauty softly sinks to rest
On gentle Natures bosom.
The dewdrops on the dropping flowers
Their glow no longer keeping,
As tender meek and pensive seem,
As beauty bowed and weeping.
Where gayly breathed in spring-time hours
The merry sounds of gladness,
New wakes solemn requiem,
In tones of deepest sadness.
And as before the chilling blasts
Earths bloom is now retreating.
So all below the heart holds dear,
Shall soon pass with the heeting
And we ourselves fade as the leaf,
Which from the bough is hurried;
And as the tender flow'ret lie
Forgotten with the buried

large number of our people were pres

of fare included the following:
Warm roast turkey, elegant dressing;
jelly; potatoes; pickles; buns, as hne
as ever made; three kinds of cake;
English plum puddIngs "pumkin
pie; mlnce pie, and delicious sauces.
In truth, it was more like an old
fashioned Yankee Thanksgiving DIM
ner than any other meal. The guests
were made to feel at home, and were
pleasantly waited on by the PASTOR
assisted by several ladies. The oc-
casion was indeed pleasant ana en-

that the ladies of the Morris Metho-

entertainment and good dinner.

Farmers Institutes.

The TRIBUNE is clearly of the opinion
that properly conducted farmers In
stitutes cannot prove otherwise than
beneficial to those engaged in agricul-
ture. The old notion that anybody
can be u farmer" has been thoroughly
exploded. The farmer, if he expects to
succeed, should inform himself on all
matters connected with the tilling of the
soil, raising of stock and various kinds
of crops. Of course it requires practice
and experience, and when these quail
fications are coupled with the former,
success is sure to be the result, provided
the location is favorable to agricultural
purposes.
Now, it seems to us, that the Farmers
Institutes, conducted as they should be,
will afford the farmer an opportunity to
gain much valuable information, by ex-
changing opinions and listening to the
relating of the experience of others, and
in various other ways.
A Farmers Institute was recently

from the report of its proceedings we
quote the following from the Herald:
eff the few farmers who we're members
of the last legislature could have wit

who kicked against the Institute we
mean-they would not have been very
proud of their votes on this measure.
The Institute is certainly in the right
hands, and Supt. Gregg is host in him.

of Prof. Hays and wife, of the State
University, DR.. VIM. Dickson, DR.. J. G.
Carryer, VIM. Moore, G. L. Smith, Thos.
Louis and J. W. Jones, these gatherings
of practical farmers throughout the state
cannot help being productive of great
good. The subjects discussed covered
every topic that is of interest and bene-
fit to farmer, and the lectures are CIV

ton of money to the Sisters of Mercy
of this city for their Indian Industrial
school. We did not state the amount
at the time, but it was just $25-no
more, no less; but many of the papers
through the country have increased
the amount from $25 to $1,000, and
the Sisters desire us to make this
correction. We only wish 1t was
true that they received the $1,000, as
Miss Drexel could not put it in a
more needy or deserving place, or
where more good could be done with
the money.
Morris tribune., 1889-12-11
Home Trade.

Judging from what we have been
told We are of the opinion that good
deal more money than is generally
known is paid 10y the farmers Of this
county to agents of city groceries and
other houses. Farmers are supplied
with catalogues of prices, and they
compare them with the prices
charged by local merchants, and are
convinced that they can do much
better by ordering from the cities. In
some parts of the state farmers are
being tieeced by sharpers who sell
groceries by samples. The samples
are good and the goods are repre-
sented to be the same and sold very
cheap; but when the goods arrive
they prove to be cheap indeed-that
is, they are the cheapest kind Of
goods. But this is not true in all
cases. Some of our farmers get good
goods at low prices when ordered
from these agents. But we believe
that it always pays to deal with home
merchants; still they should see to 1t
that they keep prices down as low as
they can consistent with Il fair profit.
1t will not do to charge exhOrbitant
rates, if they expect to hold the trade
of the farmers. So far as our knOwl-
edge goes, Morris is good town to
trade in, but there are those who con-
tend that prices for groceries, as well
as dry goods, are too high here. We
refer to this matter that our mer-
chants may give the question due
consideration. We would suggest
that it would be good idea for our
business men to advertise the prices
Of the leading articles in the line OF
groceries, clothing, dry g"od@, DC, so
that the farmers ana others may COM
pare prices here with those offered
them by travelling agents, and then
by adding the expense Of freight, &C.,
they can Judge which is the cheapest.
We believe in trading at home, with
men we know, and who will not de-
ceive us. But at the same time, as
we said above, we expect them to sell
at fair rates, and it is for their inter-
ests 10 do so.
