SUPPOSE.

Suppose the grain crops of the
United States next year should be
small.
And it is hardly probable that the
enormous yields of this year will be
followed by another year of as great
abundance.
Suppose Europe should also have
small crops.
Suppose either the United States
or Europe should have short crops,
and it is not probable that both will
have large crops.
Under any of these conditions
prices for grain would continue high,
as the world will have very short
stocks carried over into the crop
year OF 1892.
If both Europe and America
should have small crops, which is a
possibility, it is difficult to say where
prices would 60.
Under these circumstances, what
are Southern farmers goingto do :?
Are they going to raise another
large cotton crop and sell it at a loss,
and buy their corn, wheat and pro-
visions, or are they going to raise
their own toodstuffs of all kinds, as
they can readily do, and be indepen-
dent of the price OF Western corn
and bacon, and then have a smaller
cotton crop at higher prices as a
surplus.
The present low price OF cotton
will prove a blessing if it drives
Southern farmers to raising their
own foodstufts.

The following is given as the orr
gin of the word picnic: The
first picnic known was, in the year
1802-not one hundred years ago.
In those days, when such an enter
tainment was proposed, it was the
custom for those who intended to be
present to draw up list of the ar
ticles that were needed to have a
good time then the list was passed
around, and each person picked out
the name Of the article he would
furnish, which was then nicked of
the list. From these two words
picked and nicked these out-of-door
parties were first known as pick
and nick, and then as picnic.

Do Nor RAKE OFF THE LAWNS

Do Nor RAKE OFF The LAWNS
"Most people, says a.. artistic gar
dener, "rake off the leaves from
their lawns, and then to protect
them smear them over with some
vile compost. | can't understand
why they prefer the rank favored
stuff to.beautifully variegated blank
ket of leaves nature provides for
that very purpose. What is prettier
than wide stretch of the restless,
futtering things, and no better pro-
lection can be- given the grass than
they afford. Enough will decay in
the course of winter to enrich the
soil sufficiently, and when raked off
in the spring the lawn is as neat and
clean as one can wish. Some argue
that the leaves are so long falling
that the beauty of the lawn is MARI
ed long before the protection is need
ed, but to this l answer that there
early droppings should be raked off
and preserved until cold weather,
when they shonld be scattered over
the lawn at once"

What a pity it is that his face is all pim-
pies;
He'd be very fine looking il 'twasn't for
that"
Said pretty Miss We're, with smile at the
dimples
Reflected from under the nobby spring
hat
AS she looked at herself in the glass, soft~
ly signing,
That she had for the young man tender
regard,
There wasn't the least need of denying
for every one knew it. "His beauty
is marred by the frighttulred Llotch-
es all over his face. | wonder if he
couldn't take something to cleanse
his blood, and drive them away?"
He heard what she said about his
looks. 1t hurt his feelings, but he
couldn't deny she told the truth.
He remembered friend whose lace
used to be as bad as his. 1t had be-
come smooth and clear. He went
to him and asked how the change
had been brought about. "Simply
by using DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" was the reply.
Cake that, and Ill warrant you to
get rid of your pimples."
He did so.
HIS face became healthy and clear,
And next week he'll be married to pretty
Miss We're.

DAILY BREAD.


Not bread for tomorrow, or next
month, or next year, but bread for
to~day.
No man ever backslides as long as
he takes his daily bread from the
hand of his Heavenly father.
Gods children cease to grow the
moment they begin to live on stale
bread.
We can't live on recollection of
what God has been to US. He must
be present help.
No bread that does not come fresh
from the hand of God is fit for the
Christian to eat.
Every time we get down on our
knees before God we ought to look
for immediate results.
1t was not Gods intention that
any of his chileren should live on
bread tina: was not fresh.
When you ask God for your own
bread in true spirit, it means that
you also want Him to give bread to
everybody else.
When yon are asking God for
Tread in the right way, you will not
be found choking you brother and
trying to take away his.
The man who is overly anxious
about his bread tomorrow has
taken himself out OF Gods hands.
If you took your bread from Gods
hard yesterday, you will thank him
for it when you 60 back after more
to-day.
God wants us to realize that our
dependence upon him is constantand
continuous. He loves to have US
always talking to Him about the
things we need, just as we love to
have our children do with us.
1t is trying to take the matter in
to our hands, and get our bread too
far in advance of our deeds that fills
the world with sorrow and trouble.
The man who robs a bank
wouldn't do it if he looked to God
every day fol- what he needs.
The whisky seller, and the gam
bier, and the forger, and the harlot
turns their faces toward the pit be-
cause they do not look to God for
their daily bread.
The man who asks God daily for
his bread will not engage in any oc-
upation to get it upon which he can
not ask divine favor.
The man who gets his bread from
Gods hand will never be afraid to
divide with his hungry brother.
The bread that God gives never
gives anybody the dyspepsia.
The man who asks God for his dali
! ly bread will always be willing to
to roll up his sleeves and try to earn

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Mch. 6. 1891.
The United States Treasury is bankrupt. as
far as the reckless and extravagant appropria
tions voted by the republican Congress can
make it so, and it would be actually so today if
all of the appropriations had to be paid at once
In the dying hours of the Fifty. first Congress
the republicans threw prudence, conscience,
fear of a hereafter and every ether restraining
influence overheard, and boldly voted for every
possible thing that promised to assist in the
looting Of the Treasury. which their leaders had
agreed upon for the purpose of confronting the
democratic Congress with deficiency. Old
mouldy claims that had been refused a hundred
times were tackled on the appropriation bills,
and reilroaded through, extra salaries were
voted to employees who are already paid beyond
their deserts, and money was scattered around
in every direction as though the Treasury was
oyerfiowing with a surplus. as it was two years
axo when turned over to the republicans.
Where the money is to come from to pay all of
these wild appropriations is more than anyone
can see at this time; it isn't in the Treasury,
nor can it possibly get there under the present
methods of taxation. Two years of democratic
acouomy in the House and a purging of the
pension rolls of the frauds thereon may pull
the country through without making it neces-
sary to put new taxes upon the already tariff
ridden people.

1t is with regret that the people of Randolph
learn that they are to lose from among them
their trusted and able physician, DR.. W. F.
Bettes. Owing to increasing i'll health, he has
decided to give up his practice here and engage
in book keeping in Akron. DR. Bettes is
native of this town and has always lived among
us. AS boy, as a student as a man. as a
physician, he has always been found to be all
that could be desired. The best wishes of his
host of friends go with him, and we will still
hope that he will sometime come back to live
among us again.
Cr. John J. Orton, of Berlin, has come 10 town
to take the practice vacated by our retiring
physician, DR.. Bettes. We know Dir rton and
can say he is a good physician, and > bespeak
for him cordiat welcome from our townsmen
We hope his practice will grow and his dollars
multiply.

in every other, who would kick if they were
going to heaven. The children of these people
are, as might be expected, "true copies OF their
sires.'' With the exception of these (who
always drop out of school before the term is
finished, and whom the truant officer should
look after), the pupils have been benefited by
the past years school.
And what is the matter with the School Board
anyway? hear teachers grumh bling about the
Truant Officer and saying that if they want to
stop truancy they must take ali the prosecution
upon themselves. The officer when called upon
advises the parents to send their pupils to
school, and right there his efforts cease. The
law is a good one. but SO long as the School
Board appoints such executive officers, it will
amount to nothing.
