CHILDREN'S SERMONS.

Rev. Shackleford preached to quite
congregation OF children Sabbath az
ternoon at o'clock. in the Baptist
church. The text. ''Ch ist as child,
and his obedience to his warents. was
most fitting to the occasion. and the
sermon SO plain as to be easi under
stood and appreciated by all of the lit
tie folks, who will have another ser.
mon of the same kind at the same
place on the 4th Sunday in April.
The object of these most excellent
sermons, is to let the little ones hear
that which some parents thoughtlessly
deny then-a real sermon, by real
preacher Many pareuts send the lit
tie ones homo Immediately after the
Sabbath School is dismissed, think
ing that they are too young to under
stand what the minister says, but a sad
mistake is that. Many OF the pearls.
that come from the good minis teri
mouth are caught up and fond v treas
ured by the little ones. We know one
little girl. about five years old. who
went to church last Sunday morning,
and when she got home told her mama
OF many good things said during the
sermon that older persons paid little,
attention to because they had hear&
them before.
We trust that other ministers
follow Brother Shackleford's exam Fl
and preach II good sermon, III klXi;I
language, and little words for the ben
eft of tho children. At least one SER
men in each month can devoted to
them, and surely much-ood will come
OF it.

There is located little north of the
center of Mississippi, u school called A.
& NJ. College. Said college is heavily
endowed by State funds. and its con-
trollers are well paid. In connection
with the school is a farm for agricul-
tural experiments. These expert
ments as regards milk and butter have
been circulated through our country
in the form of tableted sheets called
bullitins, terrifying some of our farm
ers at the cost of production. Now
some Of our folks up this way. buy feed,
keep cows and make butter for market.
They realize profit of course. else
they would quit. Good butter always
brings 20 cents Fer pound, and it does
not cost any % cents to make it-not
more than nalf of it.

TIE FUTURE OF COTTON.

Under the above head the St. Louis
Republic presents its readers with tn Q
following timely article that is worthy
of thoughtful consideration.
ltsays
"A New Orleans cotton firm has re-
produced in circular form. letter,
written by Il Mississippi planter and
originally published in the Grenada
Sentinel. IL is the most thorough-go-
ing treatm snt OF the cotton situation
we have yet seen. After pointing oat
that cotton now sinks the money in
vested and does not more than pay the
bare expense of the labor that raises
it, the writer insists that, without rails
ing less Gotten or employing more la
Dor, every planter must raise his own
corn and provisions. "A negro, he
writes, 'can raise cotton. but cannot
produce corn without intelligent di-
rection.' 1t will hardly be believed
ten years hence that cotton has sold as
high as 10 cents. The natural increase
in cleared land and the new land taken
in in the prairies of Texas will amonnt
to at least 10 per cent. The present
crop will be fully 5000, 900 bales, and
there is no prospect OF one ever being
smaller. When cotton gets so cheap
that it can't bear freight burdens to
distant points. the factories will come
to it.
Every farm should be sslf-sustain-
ing. II is perfectly clear that with
5-cent cotton we cant buy everything,
especially when vs. produce only half
u crop. But there is as much money
in 5-ccnt cottop, if II is produced with
your own meat, bread and males, as
there is in 15-cent cotton produced
with meat. bread, mules bought at :
dealers profit Of from 100 per cent to
graAd larceny,
with unimpaired right-of way TO

JACKSON LETTER.
(From our Jackson Correspondent,)

(From our Jackson Correspondent,)
The end of all things comes sooner
or later. and it now seems that the end
of the Legislature of 1892 is in sight.
A resolution has passed the Senate to
adjourn April I'd, but it is not sure
that the end will come so soon. Many
of the members have already gone
home to stay, and if the adjournment
enough members to pass appropriation
and revenue bills.
There was quite an excitement
among the mem bers last Thursday,
when it was reported that Hon b. A.
Taylor, Of Newton county had aband-
oned his home, wife and children, and
deserted the legislature TO elope with
8 young woman Nothing defin ite can
be learned about the matter, but it is
certain that he no longer answers to
his name at roll-call in the House, nor
is he at his home in Newton county
On Friday, the speech os the session
was made in tAe House, by Mrs Solo
mon Thatcher, Of Chicago, who asked
House to appropriate money TO meet
the expenses ofexhibiting Mississippi
products at the Worlds Fair. The la
dy made an eloquent appeal, and not
with.tandsng the fact that tho House
is generally very noisy, and the being
full OF visitors. one could have heard
a pin drop, everything was SO quiet.
At the close of the speech the House
and visitors united in gsand round OF
applause. The vote was taken imme-
diately after the noise subsidized and
the appropriation bill was defeated by
u vote of three or four to one. 1t is
possible that u bill will be passed au-
thorizing the counties to make appro-
priations at their discretion.
The chapter on Stock and Fences
has at last passed both houses, and
now goes to the revision committee.
the law requires the stock law" dis
trict to be fenced, the adjoining coun-
ties building half the county line fence.
The Senate's amendment did not even
allow the stock law district to be
fenced, but requires those living near
stock law district either to fence
against it or keep up their stock. Lease
holders for three years, who arc legal
voters, are permitted to petition for or
against the law. Under the old law
only free-holders could vote or petition.
This law which would have been worse
ii the Senate amendment had been
adopted, will cause much dissatisfac-
tion.
The chapter on Dram Shops has at
last passed both houses, and stands as
follows: For country or for villages
Of less than 500 inhabitants 5000; for
towns of less than 5000 inhabitant.
5000; for cities Of over 5000 inhabit-
ants fl, 200. all OF which goes into the
State Treasury For many days the
houses failed to agree, but at last
compromise WAS effected. In addi-
tion to the above amountr OF Pri silege
Tax, municipal authorities may add
for their own use, an additional tax Of
/ not more than one-fourth the amount
fixed BY law. 1t appears that the poll
icy Of this legislature is to tax saloons
ous Of existence. After the codo goes
into effect there will DO very few sa-
looms outside OF the cities and large
GOWNS on account Of the high licsnse.

is THE LEGISLATURE A CAPABLE
BODYp

1t is reported that the members of
the Legislature are growing very tired
of the work their honors conferred up
on them, and that several have gone
home avowing their intention to re-
main there
1t Is quito evident that these mar
tyrs to duty have had quite enough of
self-sacrifice and find that duty lays a
moro onerous burden upon them than
they imagined when they sought the
coveted positi ons.
Some doubtless have realized long
since that they were not fitted by ex-
perience nor cultivation nor ability
to formulate laws for the people Of
great commonwealth that what seem
ed an easy task was a great response
bic work besst by difficulties undream-
ed of and that the honor they aspired
to OF being statesmen was not so easily
won rs they imagined.
. 1t ID a pity that this realization did
not come earlier 50 that the many as
pirants might nave held back in der
that others better fitted for tho work
should now have occupied their places.
We are not without hope that the in
efficiency OF the present bedv may
serve to work good results in the fu-
turc and that the people may learn
that when they send their representa-
tives to jackson to legislate for them,
they are imposing upon others the
grayest possibility, the highest du-
ty to the State and sacred obligations
that can only be discharged by the
ablest and most conscientious men in
the State.
One if not the most dangerous, con-
dltion of our Democracy lies in the ia
differences of the people in the dis
cha ge OF their duty in the proper Sc
lection Of their representative, and
with all due respect TO the good inten-
tions of the present body. we feel au-
thorzed in presenting it as an object
lesson for future guidance.
1t is true the present body has had
an unusEal task ia legislating upon a
new Code, but after session of two
months and Il half the outcome of their
deliberations has been impressively
bar ell of results.
The Legislature has, it seems. been
so iar dissatisfied with its own progress
that some OF its mem bors, if report be
correct, have been disposed to shirk
the duties they have assumed. to be
borne By another session.
II is now suggested that an adjourn
mont may occur April 1st. but with
the amount OF work remaining to be
performed it would seem that much of
it would be elected should that date
of adjourn ment be agreed upon.
Can the people longer doubt that
'public Office is q public trust and
that care should be exercised by the
people in conferring it?-Natchez Dem
