Barnum's Wealth.

The will Of the late P. T. Barnum
was read at Maranna Immediately
after the funeral. The wealth of
the great Snowman is estimated at
more than $5,O00,OO0. He gives
his wife 100000 absolutely, and
$4,000 annuity is bequeathed to
the First Universalist church of
Bridgeport, Connecticut, $4,000
for providing preaching and other
services in conformity to the faith
Of Universalism. The will be-
queaths Caroline G. Thomson of
New York 100000 and Clinton H.
Zeli, his grandson, $34, 900; in the
same codicil he states he has no
male heir named Barnum and pro-
vides that if Clinton H. Zeli will
change his name to Clinton Bar
mum Zeli he will give him $25, 900
more. The contract between Bar
mum and Bailey shall be enforced
and 3 per cent. Of his interest in
the show is given to Clinton Bar
mum Zeli, providing he will devote
sufficient time in the interest of
the show to carry it on successfully.
If the sum reaches more than $1O,-
600 a year the balance to 60 to the
estate. To Mrs. Henry Buchetelle,
Of Denver, he gives 765 acres of
valuable land near Denver. To
Treasurer Fish of the great show is
bequeathed 2 per cent. of the profits,
providing he remains at the end Of
five years, in addition to his present
salary. The residuary estate after
the payment of the requests, is
divided among his children and
grandchildren. To Tufts college
he bequeaths $4,000; to Univers-
alist societies and institutions, and
to hospitals and asylums in various
cities 10000 is left. Any contest
ant of the will is to be cut off.
The last codicil, dated Marh 81,
1891, provides that his executors
shall complete the new historical
and scientific society building in
Bridgeport, Connecticut, the same
to cost $125,O00.

Chicago Herald.
Senator Jones and Representa-
tive Laidlaw are both great men,
and it is surprising that two such
mighty .intellects should not have
come in contact before, inasmuch
as both have been in congress to-
gether for several years. They
have not met, however, and up to
and until the past session they
were not personally acquainted.
Their introduction came through
a little talk on silver in one of the
cloak rooms Of the house. Laidlaw,
seeing Jones, and evidently taking
him for an ex.congressman or a
stranger who had in some way
slipped in the holy of holies, the
inner sanctum of the house, &C.
costed him and asked him what he
thought of the silver bill Of last
session. Senator Jones made no
bones Of Saying just what he
thought of silver. Laidlaw straight
way differed from him, and the
discussion began to wax warm. AS
the talk grew louder other men,
beers gathered around and listened,
and Laidlaw, in a bulldozing way,

Some Things to Believe.

There are some things we want you to
to believe, and there some things we
don't want you to believe. We don't
want you to take stock in the report
that we are the largest Agricultural
Implement dealers in America. A
good, rair trade is good enough for us
and we mean to stay right here in
Caldwell.
When you hear people say Howard
Sebree Go. sell the best farm machin-
cry in the country. you can believe
what they tell you every time. They
are the leading implement concern
and will suit you on prices.
We don't want you to believe that our
machinery is sold SO low that we
don't make any profit on it. We
don't want you to think that we sell
wagons and machines for fun. Oh
no, we don't like this kind of sport,
no fun in it for us. But we do want
you to believe that we sell flrst.class
machinery and sell it at a very small
profit.
We don't want you to believe or get
the idea into your head that II. ). Co.
want the earth; we are satisfied with
very small portion of terra iirma.
We do our selling on about eight
Caldwell lots, which IL enough for us
to do business on.
We do not want you to believe that
Caldwell is q lone horse town." Quite
the contrary; it is full Of business
and push.
Hundreds Of wagons and machines are
sold here, and Howard Sebree 20.
are pioneers in the business and truly
takes the lead on low prices. Believe
all this and come and see us when you
come to Caldwell.

Members of the Order Urged to
Stand Together i'm This ImA
pOrtant Crisis,

StlSISb
The following preamble and reso-
lutions, adopted last Saturday by the
Friendship Alliance, speak for them
selves:
Whereas, Serious dssensions in va
rious portions of our State are mani
Testing themselves among the mem-
bcrs of the Farmers Alliance and,
Whereas, The seed which is being
sown threatens the very existence IF
our beloved order and
Whereas, Believing that victory
can only be achieved where there in n
united effort of the alliances and,
Whereas. Representatives of the
farmers and toilers did meet ut St.
Louis, and did publish to the world
platform of principles, and after n
year of calm deliberation, did re-
adopt these same principles at Ocala,
after mature deliberation, with bot
four dissenting voices now, there
fore,
Resolved, That we, the members OF
Friendship Alliance no 1873 of Lincoln
county, Miss, do most solemnly
pledge our sacred honors to uphold
and defend every principle contained
in said platform until the Supreme
Council of our Order shall determine
in their wisdom to annul whatever
may prove to be wrong.
Resolved, That it does not become
members of a great order to cast ridi-
Guile upon or otherwise to bring into
reproach any portion of the said plat
form, knowing full well that subse-
quent conventions will remedy errors,
if any there be.
Resolved, That while we are willing
to accord our Senators in Congress
the highest praise for their devotion
to the welfare of the State, we do
most earnestly declare that this ALI
ance will never defy or worship any
man that it is contrary to pure De-
mocracy, contrary to the principles of
the Alliance, which are purified de-
mocracy, to exalt men above meas
ures, and that great majority of the
Alliance membership are Democrats.
Resolved, That we declare our
devotion to principles above mere
man worship, and that hereafter We
will stand by those who keep step to
the music of the tOiling farmers.
Resolved, That we advise our peo-
pie not support any candidate for
nomination for a Legislative Office who
does not pledge himself to support
the Ocala platform in full.
Resolved, That we earnestly re-
quest all of the sub Alliances of Lin
coin county to take like action, and
that copy of these resolutions be
furnished to the county papers for
publication.

How Farmer Lewis White Raises and
Keeps Them.
Editor Brookhayen Leader:
By your request will tell sou what
know about Irish potatoes. It's NOT so
much to know how to keep them through
winter, as to have them to keep. Just NO
they do not freeze is all, l always plant
full crop and 1 find them as good for
seed as the Northern potato. l have two
ways SO will give them both.
As soon in summer as the tops begin to
die down dig. If want to plant the
same ground only dig few rows at II
time, and while the boys are gone to car
nv them away plant the rows already
dug. l plant the whole potato. When
they come back they put two heavy fur
on digging. Should l want to plant
some other place bed them in the garden
where can water them, if dry. As soon
as they begin to come up through the
dirt plant them where / want them to
grow, and. put plenty of dirt on them on
account of dry falls. It's 10 years since
l bought seed. have q potato that was
propagated from the seed out of the balls
that comes up better in fall than the
Northern potato. Last fall l made 30
bushels on a small piece of ground.
Now 1 don't want 81 for this receipt
from every one who tries it as one of our
Lincoln County farmers advertised few
years ago to give receipt to make fall
potatoes. This time have 3 bbls sugar
and no fruit. All killed. The only con-
ISOLATION have there is meat in the smoke
house. l.. IL. WHITE.

From the Texas Christian Advocate WI
take the following:

From the Texas Christian Advocate we
take the following:
This is Miss Crntcher's second year in
the music faculty of the North Texas Col
lege, and Prof. Ludwig considers her a
most valuable assistant. Not only is her
earnestness and efficiency seen in the pro
gress made by her pupils, but in her own
advancement in her art. Miss Crutcher
spends almost as many hours n day at the
piano herself, practicing, as she does Civ
ing lessons. The result is that she is not
only making for herself a reputation as a
teacher, but as pianist also. The young
teacher, in any department, who would
place herself at the head of her profession,
must be even more diligent student
than her pupils, and this fact is what Miss
Crutcher realizes"
Miss Miriam's many admirers in Brook
haven note with pleasure her success and
the ambition that inspires her to develop
to it's utmost the talent that is undonbt
eddy hers in the divine art.
