AGRICULTURAL SUCCESS.
Why Mental Work is as Necessary on th'
 Farm as Physical Labor.

Why Mental Work IS as Necessary on thc
 Farm as Physical Labor.
 Probably the first thing that will oc- cur to almost every farmer who con- sidcrs the failures he has made, and the obstacles he must encounter in the future, is that he must work harder than he has been in the habit of doing. That labor is essential to successful farming is clear to every one. But 1t does not follow that merely increasing the quantity of labor will insure a higher degree of success. l believe that the great majority of farmers work too hard already, and that in- stead of trying to do more than they have done in any previous year they should resolve to diminish the time spent in the fields. If they work less they will have time to think more, and will be able to plan their work to much better advantage than they can if they toll in the fields "from daylight to dark"
 It is easy to see that the more wise- ly the plans are laid the greater will be the degree of success attending their execution. It is also plain that if but little time is given to careful thought and consideration of the busi- ness the plans will not be perfect Many things will be overlooked until it is too late to attend to them, and many pieces of work will be done at a disadvantage for want of a little time spent in thinking how to perform them in the best manner
 Too many farmers work in the field until it is too late. or they are too tired to work any longer, and then, when they need rest, give what strength they have left to planning their business. There are others who To their work of this kind while toil- ing in the fields. But no one can think to the best advantage when tired, or when working hard with the hands, The method should be changed. Before the body is wearicd with labor time should be taken to think how the work can be most profit ably directed.
 If any one is disposed to consider this a plea for ease or indolence, let him remember that brain work is far more exhausting than physical toll. The change is not advocated merely to save labor but to make labor more profitable, Tho mind is far superior to the hand, and the extent to which it is used, in farming or any other line of business, will very accurately indicate the degree of success which will be secured.

ST. PHILIPS RECTOR.
REV, GEORGE VI FUNsTEN ACCEPTS
THE CALL.

SON OF VIRGINIA OFFICER AND GRAND
NEPHEW OF BISHOP NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
FROM LONG LINE OF EPIscOPALIAN AN
CEsToRs HE HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIM
SELF A FIT SUCCESSOR OF THOSE WHO
HAVE PRECEDED HIM IN THE MINISTRY.
Yesterday Rsv. George M. Funston sent
10 his letter Of acceptance to the Call OF the
vestry of St Philips.
This was nat unexpected, but was not de
termined until yesterday morning.
Rev. MIR Fupsien has already done good
service at the Episcopal church in West
End, and has distinguished himself as a
pulpit orator and paroctiial worker
He is young man, just thirty years OF
age, with a dark, striking face rendered
very pleasant by a benevolent smile that
constantly lights up his features; dark hair,
dark eyes; aud Commanding figure.
In shorF, he is true type of the young
minister ardent with hope and Jealous for
the cause in which he has enlisted. His
face reminds one of some of the pictures of
old time ministers, and his bearing is
ecclesiastical to degree.
HIS LIFE AND WORK.
At the age of seventeen the future rector
of St. Philip's began teaching in Danvllle,
Virginia. He was born in Alexandria, and
educated. primarily, in the schools at that
city and Norfolk.
After teaching for several years he enter
ed the university at Alexandria and grad
uated.
He determined to enter the university
and after his two years course, took charge
of the church at Martinsville, Virginia.
From thence be was soon called to the
assistant rectorship of St. Paups, Rich
mond, then in charge of that excellent gen
tleman and aged divine, Rev. DR.. Mimi
gerode. Il was there that Mr. Fuusten
soon developed his excellent aptitude for
ministerial work
Less than year ago he was called to
West End church, and since his residence
in Atlanta, he has increased bis reputation
as pulpit orator, and made fine record as
a pastoral worker.
HIS LINEAGE.
Mr.. Funsten's father was Colonel David
Funsten, commanding the Eleventh Vir
ginia regiment in the confederate army, and
after the war successful lawyer in the
courts of Alexandria aud Washington. He
died from wound received in battle soon
after the war closed. He was also men,
Der of the Confederate Congress.
Colonel Fnnsten's only brother, Colonel
Oliver R Fuusten, fought through the War
in the Eleventh Virginia Cavalry.
They were of Scotch-Irish descent. and
devoted to the church and to the state, for
which they we're fought.
On his mothers side Mr.. Flnsten num-
bers dozen relatives who are in the minis
try, and chief among them Bishop Meade,
of the diocese of Virginia, whose grand
nephew the rector of St. Philips has the
honor to be.
Mr.. Funston assumes charge of a large
parish which has been 8, zeilously cared
for by Rev. Byron holly, who goes to Green
vile, s G. The new rector will be wei
coined and supported by great number of
ardent church people, and none feel any
doubt that he will succeed in building up
the church to still higher degree than his
predecessors, as it is increasing In strength
and numbers every day.-Attaata (Ga
