Nnry's I.auab.

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow; 1t strayed away one summer day, where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her sadly down and tears streamed from her eyes; she never found her lamb because she did not ad- vertise. And Mary had brother John. who kept a village store; he sat down and smoked his pipe, aai watched the open door. And as the people passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. The sheriff tried to close him out. but still he fingered near; and Mary came to drop a sympathising tear How is 1t. sister, that those other mer. chants here sell all their goods and thrive from year to year?n Remem- hering her own bad luck. the little maid replies: |" These other fellows get there, John, because they advertise. Spring field Journal.
 So John and Mary then agreed to ad- vertise at once, each declaring they had been most emphatic dunce. And this is how they fixed it Jas you all ought to knowl: Strayed or Stolen: Mary's lamb, with fleece as white as snow. Goods for sale! IIo, Every one! They're owned by Mary's brother. Re- turn the lamb, and buy these goods all wool Lone and the other !" Next day this John sold all his stock-he did now do you mind it; and Mary's lamb marched meekly home bringing It's tail behind it.-Arkansas Press.

Burn Your Cotton stalks.

Tlie following extract is from the Russellville Democrat; Several of our farmer friends have informed us that upon close examination they have found deposited in cotton stalks, just inside the outer covering, humber of little eggs, supposed to be the germ that Is to hatch the progenetors of the cotton worm next year. This is an i'm portant discovery and will doubtless lead to timely pr, cautions being taken by burning the stalks instead of tnrn- ing them under as has been the usual custom. The ravages of the cotton pests the past season has demonstrated the necessity of the uttermost vigilance on the part of planters and we are glad to see them so thoroughly alert in a matter that concerns them so vitaly This is matter which should be looked into by every cotton producer It may be. as suggested, that the timely de- struction of cotton stalks by burning. may save. next years crop from being destroyed by worms"
