SHE SCREAMED AT THE FIRST
| SALT

This, / am assured is a true story,
says writer in the Detroit Free
Press. The gentleman himself told
it to me, and the lady, now his wife,
sat beside him and admitted it to be
true. He had waited on her for sew
eral weeks, when enc evening he re-
solved to kiss her, and told her So
"You shall do nothing OF the kind"
she said with good deal Of asperity.
But he vas not to be frightened
out of it. He reached for her, but
she drew away and Indignantly de-
clared that if he undertook any such
liberties she would scream. He
didn't believe she would SO he grab
bed her up and gave her a good, rous-
ing smack.
Sure enough, she screamed like a
steam calliope, and frightened the
young man well nigh out OF bis SEN
ses, for he heard the family running
toward the parlor. The young lady's
mother was the first to enter, and
the father came close behind.
whats the matter p asked the
mother.
The young man stood by the piano,
wishing the roof would fall in and
bury everybody. The young lady
had jumped upon the sofa.
II saw mousse" SAID she.
The parents went back, and the
young man kissed her until she
couldn't have told mouse from a
noun tain.

PLANT MORE CORN.

Ii we would be happy and conten-
ted let us fill our corn cribs, barns
and meat houses with our own pro-
ductions. Iii is utterly impossible
tor US to succeed if we raise cotton
with which to purchase the neces>
saries of life. Years OF unpleasant
experience has fully demonstrates
this fact. Then why continue longer
on this line when we know full we'll
it will bring utter failure and ruin :?
The proposition is plain and simple.
Why plant cotton whenit costs more
to raise it than it will bring when
placed upon the market. Suppose
you purchase horse paying for it
S140, and then sell it for $125, how
much money have you made by the
transaction? Ii it costs 8 cents TO
make cotton, can you sell it at Z
cents and live? If you will prepare
your lands thoroughly, manure lib
orally, seed early and work rapidly
your corn crop will be practically
made before your cotton crop de-
mands your attention. Therefore,
we contend that full crop of corn
can be made, and in addition, as
much cotton as usual. Now if we
raise full crop OF corn and peas,
potatoes, ETC., we can raise hogs al
comparatively small cost. Then if
we have corn and meat raised on our
farms we can afford to make cotton
at low figures, otherwise We grow
poorer each year. Hogs can be
raised cheaply if We diversity our
crops. Small patches of potatoes,
cane chufas and groundpeas are in
dispensable il raising our own me at.
By this plan the hogs would be ready
for the slaughter at form ten to fit
teen months. 1t would not be wise
or profitable to keep hogs until two
years old. If we abandon the all
cotton system we will have better
hogs, better cows, better horses, bet
ter poultry, and We will be better
people, happy, prosperous and indie
pendent. Such a happy state Of
affairs would bring unity and COM
cord, revive the spirit Of generosity
| and hospitality that characterized
Columbia county thirty years ago.
! Now let us try this plan, do our
duty, as we conceive it, trusting in
God for refreshing showers in due
time. and the result will be pleas-
ing.-Sentinel.

If President Harrison signs the
treaty now in his possession and the
Senate ratifies it, the United States
will have absolute free trade with
country, and that country will have
the same with us. The country is
Hawaii, which has had a represen-
tative in Washington for some time
engaged in the negotiation of this
treaty. Probably this negotiation
has been the foundation apon which
the numerous stories about the an
nexation of Hawaii have been built.
The ratification of this treaty would
as far as commere is concerned, put
Hawaii on precisely the same foot
ing as any State in the Union.

The grip has not vet attracted

The grip has not yet attracted a
great deal of attention in this coun-
try this season, but there appears to
be a strong probability that it will.
Several deaths from it have occurred
in New York city, and it is beloved
to be gaining Roadway there. 1t is
epidemic in portions of Connecticut
and has been for several weeks.
Last Wednesday there were three
deaths from it in Norwich, and many
in that city are suffering from an
attack of it. An unfortunate phase
of the disease is that in some places
it is accompanied by scarlet fever,
diphtheria and typhoid malaria.
Schools in some counties have been
closed on account of the prevalence
of these diseases. While the grip is
NOT epidemic throughout the whole
state, cases of it are appearing in all
parts fit. In some of the countries
of Europe the disease is causing
great uneasiness. In Berlin it is
much more virulent than it was in
1889. 1t is estimated that there
have been 10000 cases Of it since
