CENTRE TOWNSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION.

A very pleasant meeting of the Gen.
tire Township Sunday School Associa-
ton took place on Tuesday afternoon
the 18th inst, at the Fowlersville
Lutheran church.
Rev. A. Houtz delivered a very
interesting address upon "The Ele-
ments of Success and Failure in the
life of Samuel" The speaker gave
the elements of success as being
praying mother, religious training,
integrity Of character, and the pres
ence of Gods Spirit. His failure was
his omission of the proper training of
his sons caused perhaps by his deep
engrossment in public business.
Rev. Mr.. Davis gave AMI obstructive
talk upon "The Duties of Sunday
School Workers and their Encourage
ments." The duties Of teachers were
especially taken up. They are
(a) To Remember -
I. That they are working for Christ !;
2. That they are working with
Christ;
3. That they are to give an account
of their work to Christ;
4. That the time is short;
(b) To Do: list
I. To teach the lesson; t-
2. To bring Christ out of the lesson !;
3. To make on the scholars, the i'm
preston that they want them to be
christians;
4. To do certain things out of
school;
(c) To Avoid =
I. Whatever belittles the Office of
teacher;
(d) To Expect
1. Results;
2. The crown Of life.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr. M. /. Low, the president.
Two beautiful and appropriate solos
were given by Miss Adelia Davis of
Orangeville.
The next meeting will be held dur
ing September at Lime Ridge Evan

said With the utmost CIVIuUy.
And now. sir, if l can be of the faint
est assistance in making this ceremony
clear to you, command me. You will
observe that the adjutant is coming out
to occupy the very position you were in"
But Mr.. Abrams was in the sulks, as
was to be expected, and still more
wrathfully turned his back, refusing to
listen, so that Cross promptly left him
to his own devices. The representative
of The Palladium had sense enougi! not
to attempt to resume his place, but he
had lost interest in the performances 81
simultaneously with his own loss OF Tres
tige among the crowd, aud so, after
moments wavering, he turned about
and shouldered his sulIen way toward
his buggy, only stopping long enough to
inquire of civilian the name Of the Of
ficer.
''Cross, ell? Capt. Cross. Sure of
that, are you? All right, I'll fix him,"
he growled between his set teeth as he
strobe away.
When few moments later the long
line of officers halted in front of the
colonel and raised their hands in stimuli
taneous salute he responded with some
thing less than his customary graceful
deliberation and inquired:
"What on earth was going on there
that there was so much giggling in
ranks: Is was mainly in front of you,
Mr.. Martin. Have you been attempting
any witticisms, sir?"
Not that | can now recall, colonel"
responded Martin. with his usual drawL
Possibly the appearance of our Chicago
friend in the role of adjutant was what
prompted their merriment. If you in
vited him to accompany you trust you
will excuse it."
Whom 10 you mean, and what do
you mean
why, Mr. Abrams took post on your
left and rear, sir, until Cross invited him
elsewhere. I'm sorry for Cross; he has
wife and family; and yonGer goes the

Office no doubt. What won't The Pal
ladium say now?"
| You don't mean he was right here by
me during parade!' said Morris, growing
| very red.
Certainly, sir" spoke Capt. Brodie.
"You could have smelled his cigar if the
the wind hadn't been blowing from the
| stables"
But the appearance of the wagonette
whirling into garrison with the tall form
of Col Lawler, a dust colored figure
from the crown of his felt hat down to
his very boots, put an end to further re-
marks. Morris fastened to meet his
| guest, merely nodding response to Lanes
courteous invitation to bring him to din

CHAPTER Y.

Capt. Lanes quarters, as has been
said, were charmingly furnished, and
adorned with attractive pictures and
bric-a-brac. The dining room was
small, as dining roons generally are in
army garrisors, but by dint of moving
out the stove, which until now had cum
bered one corner, and then crowding the
sideboard into its place, sufficient room
had been gained to admit of extending
the table diagonally and seating four
teen people thereat, and now, with the
curtains drawn, but the soft evening
breeze playing through the open case
ment and the broad hallway, in the soft,
yet brilliant light of dozens of wax
candles set in sconces on the walls or in
heavy candelabra on the damask covered
board, a merry party had gathered for
one of the "lovely dinners" for which
Mrs. Lane was already famous.

Oysters and seeds.

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. ANY one can tell worthless
oyster on opening it. The value of seed
must be determined by its growth. This
makes its quality worth considering. You
want seeds that will grow, and you want
the product TO be Of value. You cannot
insure either of these things by mere inspec.
ton. There is but one guarantee; the re-
liability of the firm from which you buy.
That our advertisers, Messrs. D. NJ Ferry
s. Co., of Detroit, Mich, are most reliable
is attested by the fact that millions buy
seeds from them year after year. Their
enormous business furnishes the highest
proof of their reliability. Their Seed

of Florida in detail by counties. precincts,
cities, wards of cities, towns and villages
according to the official count Of the re-
turns made under the eleventh census,
taken as of June /, 1890. The populs-
ton as returned in 1880 for the same di-

parison. From this bulletin we make ex-
tracts as follows:
Under the census of 1890 the total pop

crease of 129, 900, or 1924 per cent. over
the population returned in 1880, which
was 1853, 403.
Of the forty-five counties in the state
seven show decreases. In 1887 new coun-
ties were formed as follows: Citrus and
Pasco from Hernandez, DeSoto from
Manatee, Lake from Orange and Sumter,
Lee from Monroe, and Osceola from
Brevard and Orange.

a Talk WITH FARMERs.

Friends, ye who till the soil, now
is the time to ormulate your plans
for next year.
Are you going to plant your whole
farm in cotton and corn?
Have you not seen the folly OF
doing that?
Don't you know that a few acres
each in corn, oats, sugar cane, to.
bacco, rice, sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes, etc.-in a shorter phrase.
diversified crops-will pay you out
of debt and give you money to
spend, while all cotton and corn will
still more firmly bind the yoke of
debt about your neck?
Think Of this during the long
nights Of the holidays. Begin new
era. Turn over that much talked
about new leaf.
Begin the New Year with the de-
termination that you will plant fewer
acres, use more fertilizers, cultivate
more thoroughly and reap double
the harvest you have been reaping.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Make up your mind to succeed next

"SOMETHING BETTER"

The Valdosta Times calls atten-
ton to the fact that last year we
had the alliance "yard-stick," which
measured some candidates who
were about yard high.
But the "yard-stick" was failure.
Cotton is lower and taxes are
higher.
Here is something BETTER" Some
writer, discussing the situa ton,
thinks that the alliance ought to
construct a l0-foot rod to measure
the members with, something like
this-and it is good medicine:
"The Office hunter must CO."
'The loafer must CO."
1.-THE credit system must CO."
"The all-cotton plan must CO."
''Extortion in prices must CO."
1.-THE plan of having your smoke
house In the West must CO."
On the other hand:
Everybody must go to work"
The cash system must be
adopted"
.The farmer must control the
farm labor"
'Crops must be diversified and
plenty to eat raised at home. Low
prices for goods prevail
Three years ago taxes were low
and Sea Island cotton was worth "a
cents and upland 10 cents. The
farmers were prosperous. But al
some writer remarked ''lhings have
hit the grit" and q change must

|tremble. They have bean told In 9
story printed In the New York
Times, npon the authority Of 9
prominent politician, that Governor
Hills real purpose IN seeking to
count in the democratic majority Of
the new York legislature is to have
that body choose the presidential
electors next year, thus making New
FORK surely democratic.
Such a step would be entirely
constitutional. But is that really
Governor Hills purpose? The FLOR
1p1AN is of the opinion that he has no
other purpose than to see that justice
is done; that the legally elected legis-
lators take their seats.
But, now that the republicans
have suggested it, why not?
Under the constitution electors
are chosen in such manner as state
may determine. For
many years the legislature Of South
Carolina named her electors and her
act was never questioned. But she
finally gave up the method. More
recently Michigan has changed her
plan by passing law providing for
their election by congressional dis
tricts. Now other states are talking
about changing their plan Of choos-
ing electors. Why not New York
as well as others?
