EDITOR WORLD
The Collyer portion. of your readers
will no doubt be surprised to hear from
their old correspondent Topsy again.
Yes Topsey is somewhere near where
the original Topsy ''growed," down
among the niggers in old Alabama.
While you Trego county people are
struggling with La Grippe, we souther-
ners have nothing more serious than lazi-
ness to contend with, and are busy max
ing garden, raising chickens, an d enjoy
ing themselves.
The people all die of old age, in this
lovely climate. The thermometer has
been down to 26 degrees this winter some
thing very unusual here, and did not 60
above 95 degrees last summer.
SO you see in regards to climate Ala
bama goes ahead of Kansas, as we are
not subject to such EXTREMIST of both
heat and cold. But we miss the emerge
tic ways 80 common in the east.
As general thing the work is done by
negros and is usually half done. If the
people here would work as they do in
Trego county, they would be rich in a
short time.
Land on the bay is very high but back
three or four miles can be bought for
$3.50 per acre and up.
We live within stones throw of Mo-
bile bay. All saltwater fish are very
plenty during the summer months, and
during the winter the woods are over-run
with hunters.
Baldwin county has increased greatly
in population during the past year, and
land is much higher than when we came
here.
An italian colony has settled in this
vicinity and gone extensively into grapes,
believing this climate second only to Italy
for fruit of all kinds.
If this escapes the waste basket you
will hear from me again soon. ToPsY.

What a good move it would be for

Beautiful women?-Cbildren in Com
pany Tie Eldest Sister - Woman's
Greatest Charm-Iiouschold Notes.
Some of the farmers girls are imbibing
the idea that they arc cast in somewhat
finer mold than their "forebears, and have
minds capable of higher culture than they
can find in the dairy, with its cream pots
and shining pans, or in the dishpan with
its accompaniment Of soilcd crocbery and
doughty tins; an intellect too promising to
be bound down to the humdrum existence
of the ordinary country housewife. Don't
forget, girls, that the mind is "the souls
inner temple" and pure heart, free from
selfish desires, ambitions. discomfort, i'm
pure thoughts, malice and envy is sure to
develop to measureless extent in u cul-
ture not to be found in books or III the
highest seat of learning-a heart refine
ment-which pressure of circumstances,
poverty or seclusion from the great world
can never efEct.
Where will you fn,t anything which will
more strongly appeal to your love of the
beautiful than the scenes to be found
around and near every country home, or
where can you indulge your taste for
music better than to listen to a concert
from the trees near your home every morn
ing? Perhaps the advantages of a college
or normal school training may not be with
in your reach, but few families are SO poor
they cannot afford an occasional good book
Or one or more of the standard periodicals.
Most farmers of the present day recog-
nize the Importance Of keeping up with
the times, and think it poor economy to do

aud that tnt c1nvcr5tron was constantly
interrupted by "Ncddie, Neddic, Ncddic,
don't darling" or Tommy, don't climb
up there; you will fall. Look, lIenriette,
at the baby" until finally the visitor left,
feeling her time had been wasted, and If
the mother had taught the children to be-
have beforehand IL would have been better
all around.
Now il is self evident fact that the
writer of all this has no children, else she
would understand how the demon of mis-
thcf.cntcrs into them rs soon as company
appears on the scene. And a certain desire
to "show off" also runs wanton riot in
their hearts And all the lines upon lines,
preccpts upon prcccPts, here little and
there a vast deal, arc one and all forgotten
or deiicd.
As far us possible it is we'll to resist the
temptation to take children into a room
with company. Of course they are the
cunningest and prettiest things in the
world, you think, but they will appear to
much better advantage all around if they
are kept in the background. Oh, know
this rule is a hard one, but it will be inf

NomNn's Greatest Charm.

Woman's greatest charm to me is that
sweetness of spirit which is to be found
not in the verdancy and ineXperience of a
young woman nor in the infieXible rigdity
of age, but i'll a woman of mature heart
and wide and ripe experience, who has at
tanned to the fullness of perfect love; one
whom experience has taught to avoid the
sharp corners of life; whose Gentleness of
spirit and EindneSs of heart forbid her
knowingly TO wound or give offense
to any one, and whose tact and in
telligence prevent her from doing it UNI
wittingly whose well balanced Judgment
and keen discrimination, allied to ma
tive intuition, teach her instinctively
to do the right thing at the right time and
in the right way: one who has passed
through he crucible of suffering and the
cXactiuns of hardship, yet whose indomit-
able spirit and untlinchinS courage have
been strengthened rather than crushed
or weak ned thereby; who, having been
wealthy, is able to make intelligent COM
parisun and profit by the lesson; one whose
stout heart and uuWaNcriu@ faith i'll hui
man nature enable hcr to look calmly and
confidently upward. and to 90 steadily
onward in whatsoever path 0l duty may
lie before her patiently awaiting the glim-
meriug light Of the rising dawn which
heralds the coming day,-Charles II. Requa

The women of Dahomey, having for
many generations past endured all the toll
and performed all the hard labor of the
country, have for the weaker sex, an cx-
ccptional physique, which enables them to
bear hardships and privations as we'll as
if not better than the men, and this no
doubt was the important factor in the
causes which led to the formation of the

None of the priests would perform the
