THO following are few Of the

by III h Cole
'nha iaoklag favmar raises his
children III ignorance, reads no agri-
cultural papers or worlsa, plants his
crops III fha moon, stops bis plowa III
dry weather, mannras bis fields with
match or fire brand and develops q
heavier crop Of aelfsconceit than of
anything else. As 4 rule, jack-legs
are despiaad by the rest of mankind
and there are 81 many jaek.leg far
mers that the whole fraternity is
looked down npon and thereby over
reached and oreT.Fiddsn by men of all
professions. Yet We see farmers who
arc too wise 10 be taught, as they
know too much to read, aud some
that never have time 10 read a nawa-
paper or book. We know some that
could not ten the difference between
field 81 three square acres and a
field three acres square. Some are
self-eouceited and to this end believe
that II il impossible for any other to
teach OF know more than themselves,
To All sach, If they belong to the
Alliance we say, attend yoar meet
ings regularly and tell yonr lecturer
TO TRY aad aispossess yon of some Of
your salfcouceit. And If there are
any who do not belong to the Ali
anoe, we say, go and join at once, for
we are sure yon will there learn some
thing that might and would do Won
good, for of all the knotty things to
deal with it is selG-Conceii, backed, as
it usually is, BY ignorance.

Homer ON "a Boom.


I8ucaslau,
Homer, without exception, is the
queen village of North Louisiana as
to health and beauty of location, and
Claiborne parish is also the healthiest,
most fertile and beautiful parish in
North Louisiana, and if you don't
believe it come and spend d few
weeks on her hills, in her valleys,
among her people and in Homer and
you will be convinced.
Homer, has this season, handled
and shipped about 1900 bales of
cotton, with about 1000 more to come
in. Other points east, north west
and south Of her have shipped about
5000, making the crop of the parish
10000 bales, a shortage Of about
5000 bales, with plenty of corn in our
cribs and pork yet on foot, if it can
only be saved. You may rest assured
Claiborne parish stands on solid
ground. And here is onr bank with
its GibraIlar-like foundation and walls.
now under rapid construction, will
soon be opened and dedicated 10 Nam
mon with all the due solemnity of
business. Won't we all feel proud
and rich then proud because Homer
has a national bank, and rich because
the most of us can point in triumph
towards the building and brag about
1t.
Claiborne las fallen behind her
moral tnrpitude record of 1888-89,
but few thefts, fewer manslaughters
and no murders on her record for the
fall of 80.

Securing Important Evidence Against his
wife in Elnnirn.

ELM1RA, Jan. 19.-The Office Of Z. O. Van
Duzer In this city was this morning the OBJ
jective point OF q swarm OF witnesses, who had
been supnnaed to this city from Wanda, Du-
shore, and Bernice, Pa, WRverley, 0wego. and
q number OF other places, to testify In the pre-

tuted by Robert Ray Hamilton against his

Hamilton was unavoidablV detained at Tren-

Charles W. Fuller OF New York city. Mr. Van
duzer had been appointed referee by stipulR-
ton.
The testimony was taken behind closed
doors. and only one witness was allowed In
the room at q time. 1t has. however, been
learned that the drift OF the testimony was to
the effect that while here and in this neigbor-
hood Eva was known as Mrs. Mann, and lived
with Dotty" as his wife. Testimony was also
introduced that during her stay here, where

TEE DEADLY ELECTRIC LIsHT WIRE
Mayer Cleveland Chooses an Unluoky Day
TO Sign OrdInnnce.


An ordinance permitting the Bergen Elec-
trio Light Company to erect poles and string
electric light wires all through Jersey City
was signed yesterday by Mayor Cleveland.
An electric light wire strung on the poles
through Bay street, in that city, saRged yes
terday until II rested on one OF the New York
and New Jersey Telephone Company's wires
which crossed the street under It, Tho light
wire was insulated, but when the wind fresh
ened in tho evening the wires swayed back and
forth and the insulation was quickly worn
through. Tho crossing OF the wires was just
over q big tree opposite Fire Headquarters
Tho wires spit blue flames and set fire to the
tree. A small boy saw the tree burning and
told the lremen. A crowd OF 800 people gath
cred and watched the flames. The wires oon-
tinued to spit fre for the entertainment OF the
crawd.
Pretty soon message came to Fire Head
quarters that Chief Engineer Rugglers house
was on fire; another quickly followed to the
effect that the house at the pipe yards was on
fire. A third, only few minutes later. said
that swithboard at telephone headquarters
had been burned out, and had set the building
on Ere.
Messengers hustled around to the electric
light company for a lineman. One arrived In o
half an hour. and another from the telephone
company helped him climb up in the tree and
cut the deadly wire. That stopped the mischief.
The lnemen then went hunting for damages.
They found that all of the eight telephones on
the Board Of Public Works line had been burned
out by the heavy light current, and that all
three OF the fires had started from the burning
telephones. They had all been put out before
any considerable damage was done. The line
mon found Chief Ruggles Just recovering from
a shock. He had attempted to trihe with the
telephone when he saw it burning Three men
In the telephone Office were badly shocked, too,
but no one was dangerously injured.
