G. M. Robertson, Of Deerbrook,
Noxubee county, is probably the
only seed farmer in the state who
carries on the export business ex-
tensively. Mr.. Robertson belongs
to an old and well-known north Al
ALBANIA family, and commenced his
present business a few years ago
without any experience and heavi-
ly burdened with debt, and has
prospered from the beginning lie
has hundreds of acres in nellilotus,
and lespedeza-Japanese closcr-
and sells to New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, Vir-
ginia, Georgia, Florida, California,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana. Texas and all parts of
Mississippi, and has orders greatly
in excess Of supply.
lie has the most approved ma
chinery for threshing out seed and
is with each succeeding year in
creasing his acreage. Louisiana takes
about three-fourths OF his crop, and
New York and Virginia are heavy
buyers of mellilotus seed. His
sales of lespedeza have gone as high
as 1900 bushels in a single season.

The Philadelphia sugar trust has
contracted for 100000 bags, to
take the place of barrels for the
shipment of refined sugars. The
reason for the change from barrel
to bag il that the bag costs and
weighs less than its old-tIme COM
petitor.
The bags are Of plain burIap with
a light muslin bag inside and weigh
only a pound and a half while the
barrel weighs twenty-three pounds.
Thus the difference would pay sew
eral times over for the bag This
is the worst blow the local coopers
industry has ever experienced
and almost wipes out that business
in Philadelphia.
Flour now goes TO Europe In bags,
and is retailed in the same way.
Sugars brought here from the West
Indies and Hamburg come exclu-
sively in bags which after being
cleaned, are used up for paper
stock.-Exchange.

fourche parish, La, says that lepro-
'sy exists there, and be appeals to the
authorities to take steps to stop its
progress. Otherwise, adds the doc

this fair parish will bc overridden by
this awful scourge. Right here are
two large families both afflicted with
leprosy, avoided and Stunned by their
neighbors. They have every one in
termarried."

The Wilkinson county board OF
supervisors recently passed an order
forbidding the trapping or snar-
ing of partridges for three years
from date, the hunting or killing oi
wild turkeys for two years from date,
and the hunting or killing Of deer
for three years from date. II these
laws are enforced, there viii be q
great increase Of game in that coun-
ty.
A. K. Shaifer, Of Claiborne county,
thinks that the diminution In the
number of wild turkeys is due not &C
much to hunters as to the destruc-
ton OF their nests By dogs. These
animals cut short the crop Of turkeys
by sucking the eggs.

or the Reveille.l
A little wayside blossom

IL speaks OF Gods love 10 u.s.
This brightens all the gloom.
For His tender hand has formed a.;
This litfle flower grew wild;
As God smiled once upon ID.
lie smiles upon thee, my child.
Nod on, thou pretty howeret;
Speak on and on and on;
Revive my faith that's dropping
And bid each doubt begone.
Yesl let your petals tell me
OF Gods own precious hand,
Which leads forever onward
10 that bri sht, that better land.
His love Is round rs ever,
And sheds upon our way
The peace which passeth knowledge,
IL deeper grows each day.
Dearer than any sparrow
We are unto the Lord.
He tells us how He loves rs
In His Holy, Holy Word.
So little wayside blossom,
We thank you every day
For lessons ron do teach us
Upon our earthly way;
For solomon in all bis glory
Was not like thee arrayed.
This IL the Saviour's teaching,
What be 10 rs hath said.

o Time and Change, they range and range
From sunshine round 10 thunderl
They glance and go ~ the great winds blow
And the best of our dreams drive under;
Fer Tlmc and Change estrange, estrange-
And. now they have looked and seen us,
o We that were dear we are all too near
With the thick Of the world between Us.
o Death and Tine, they chime and CLINE
Like bells AZ sunset fallingl
They end the song, they right the wrong,
They set the old echoes calling:
For Death and Time bring on the prime
OF Gods own chosen weather,
And We lie In the peace Of The Great Release
As once in the grass together.

For The Reveille.I
What lawless, vandaI foot has pressed
This nurtured spot OF ground,
This small half acre where the shrubs
We're green the season round?
For miles the children watched for II,
This roadside garden fair;
The teamsters, with their heaviest loads,
Would glance with pleasure there.
A row Of scarlet roses Just
Above the low fence grew,
And hedged the dearest blossoms In
That ever fed on dew.
Such loving hands had tended them;
Ah meath the graveyard trees,
While here a wanton touch 10 laid,
Can they rest quite At ease
The wreaths Of springs white spirea,
The dwarf magnolia blooms,
The lilies and the hyacinths,
The olives sweet perfumes,
Have vanished like the ghosts Of those
Who raised yon trampled mound,
Aud made this desecrated spot
Seen like enchanted ground.

Due credi. should be given to sen.
ator Hill and Tammany Hall for
their efforts in behalf Of the Demo.
cratic ticket,-efforts which no doubt
had much to do with Mr.. Cleveland Z
large majority in the state Of New
York. At the same time there is no
need to grow hysterical over Mr.
Hill. lie did no more than any good
Democrat would have done who held
the principles of his party higher
than the mere question Of his own adj
vancement. lie has shown himself
to be q Democrat loyal TO the party
nominees; but it is not thereby prov
ed that he should be our candidate
for the presidency in 1896. as some
of his journalistic admirers are al
ready beginning to urge.
Furthermore. it is nonsense TO at
tribute Cleveland's election to the
senator's influence. That great event
wasdue to q popular movement as
wide as the continent for which Mr..
Hill was in small degree responsible,
and which he could not have checked
had he felt so inclined.
