three grandchildren.
The wedding took place at the residence
of the bride in the northern suburbs of the
city Mr.. Jasper is paster of the Sixth
Mt. Zion Baptist Church. There was some
surprise that the ceremony did not take
place in the church. The reason was that
the octogenarian groom feared the rabble

sprightly as man of 40. He wore n
black frock coat, a white silk tie, light
trousers, lavender kid gloves. gold studs,
and carried silk hat. The bride is
stumpy woman, black as ink, and with a
face that couldn't look otherwise than
comical even at her wedding. She did not
reach TO the shoulders of the groom. She
wore lilac silk Empress style, and
trimmed with lace. On her sable brow
was wreath of orange flowers, and in
her hand was bouquet of pansies, and
lilies. Mr.. Jasper still holds the opinion

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
BULLETIN No. |.

BULLETIN No. l.
Winter wheat and rye seem to have
passed through the winter in much bet
ter shape than was expected. 1t was
thought by many that frequent thawing
and freezing had broken off many of the
tender roots, but nearly all our reports
to-day show the crop in fair condition,
and fully three-fourths of our CORES
pondents consider it in excellent shape.
The drouth which prevailed during the
fall seeding, and which was viewed with
much apprehension at the time, may
have been blessing instead of misfor-
tune. 1t is probable that its slow germ
ination and the limited number of roots
formed placed the crop i'll better shape
to encounter the unfavorable conditions
of winter.
The ground is we'll stored with moist
ure. December, January and February
have given precipitation considerably
above the normal, and with warm
weather all vegetation will probably
come forward rapidly.
Notwithstanding the cold of the past
few days, which Will probably be but
temporary, the season is slightly in ad-
vance of last year. Flowing and seed
ing are just beginning in the extreme
southern counties, and will probably be
general throughout the state between
the 18th and 20th. The meadows are
generally in fine shape and to-day give
promise of good hay crop. Many
meadows of old clover are reported
winter killed, but little or no damage
has been done to the new fields.
Stock has wintered well, and all
things considered, farm conditions and
prospects are good. w. l.. MOORE,
Director.

| from any simple amusement or custom
not in antagonism with ones highest
| conviction of duty, makes or unmakes
the christian. BY the side of the
great, deep issues of the day these
questions seem trivial and unworthy.
Let recreation be modest, seemly and
temperate. Choose associates in recre-
alton as in all else, from those YOU
most thoroughly respect, and stand
squarely on the side of right If the
drama is in itself right, by all means
help elevate it by encouraging the
better part. If there is no harm in
dancing" so long as it is one of the
most fascinating and beautiful exercises
that both sexes delight in, strive to
purge out the Objectionable features
and give it place with the refined and
accepted amusements of cultured
society in church and out of it, I am
convinced that the only practical
solution to these much vexed problems
in christian life is for the clergy and
professed christians to give their
sanction and encouragement to the
upbuilding of forms and places of
pleasure that have their unbiased
honest approval.
Questions like these call for as much
moral heroism in clergyman of certain
churches to face, and oppose public
opinion, as for any soldier to face the
deadly cannon that defends the chosen
pass in the battle grounds of armies.
The simplicity and broadness and
rightness Of true religion aims at the
root Of all things. If right is there, lop
away the vermin breeding branches,
hew off the decayed and worthless
boughs, pluck off the superabundance
of blooms and by patience and consist
ency and honest criticism, train the
root to grow and bear fruit fit for the
children of God. Above all remember
toll and pleasure must go hand in hand.
Joy is natures birthmark and the gift
of an all wise Father. Let right win
and reforms come in church amuse-
ments as we'll as in church discipline.
The Bible itself is full of drama.
The theatre may yet be the sister of
the church, appealing by the power of
object lessons to the sensitive nerves of
feeling 1t rests with the refined, the
high minded the cultured, moral and
religious world to use this power to its
greatest good.
FELIX FAIR.
