OLD pssssssEss vs. NEW.
A Short Chapter tor Chronic
 KIckers.

KIckers.
 From time immemorial it has been the habit of people to growi ano grumble at the times in which they live, and to refer continually to the good old times past and gone. The oldest person will readily agree that since their earliest remembrance people praised the past and con- demned the present. It has always been so and always will be.
 These thoughts were prompted by an interview we had this week with Mir. J. c. Bonds of Dover township, whose father was among the pioneer settlers of this country and shared the privations and hardships incl dent to it's settlement. Mir. Bonds has in his possession documentary evidence to show that the farmers oi to-day, notwithstanding the low price of cotton, have more to en courage them than those following the same avocation over fifty years ago. For instance, seed cotton sold in 1889 at 2 cents per pound, and other products proportionately low. In the same year dry goods sold as follows: domestic 30 cents a yard, jeans $1.25 yard, and calico 37 cents a yard. Common laborers commanded 50 cents day, and skilled mechanics got $1.50 q day. Notwithstanding the low price of cotton and the high price of goods farmers lived well and prospered. In a number of itemlzed bills for sup plies purchased at that time we fail ed to see charged pound of meat, pound of flour or any other article that could be made at home. The peopied raised what they could on their farms and bought only such supplies as they could not grow or do without.
 In this respect history should re peat itselt in this country. Avoid ance of debt, diversity of crops and strict economy alone will bring pros perity to the people.

COL. B. T. EMERY.
An Extended Review of His Lifs
 and Labors.

An Extended Review or HIS Lift
 and Labors. Col. Ben Toler Embry was born April IA, 1920, in Greenburg, Greer county, Ky. received his education 1 in Center College at Danyille, Ky, Was licensed to practice law at Greensburg, Ky, but soon afterward abandoned the profession for other pursuits.
 He made race on the Whig ticket against George Toles, democrat, in Green county, Ky, before he was 2l years of age, was defeated by 27 votes, but personal popularity reduc ed the former democratic majority in that county from 750 to 27. He moved to Hickory Plans, Prai rie county, Ark. in lS49, and was elected representative from that county in 1850, and next year moved to Gala Rock in Pope county, where he engaged Tn agriculture until the breaking out of the war, when he raised company and was elected Captain, and P Wash Parker, late ly deceased) first lieutenant. At the battle Of Oak Hill he was promoted and commissioned LIcutenant Colon el, and immediately took charge of the regiment In 1863 he was com missioned Colonel.
 The war closing he returned to Gala Rock and again engaged in ag- rIculture and merchandising, and so continued until he embarked in the wholesale grocery business in Little Rock, the firm being Dowdle & Em bry.
 When Atkins was located he nov ed to that place. and there resided until his death.
 Col. Embry was elected Senator from Johnson and Pope counties in 1882 and at the close of the second session was elected President of the Senate and acted as Governor during the absence of the then Governor, Berry, to the New Orleans Exposlt. ion. Since which time he has held no political office.
 He was taken with violent seizure of pneumonia on the l6th day of Ian uary, which early assumed q typhoid character, and closed the scene on January 26.
 His funeral obscguies were con ducted at the Methodist church. At klns, by Rev. E. L. Massey, on the 18th, after which be was taken in charge by the Atkins lodge of An clent, Free and Accepted Masons, and buried with the usual ceremonies and honors of the order. Many Ma sons from abroad joined in paying the last sad rites in honor of tue de parted brother.
 Col. Embry always took an active part in the masonic work of his lodge and to his brethren hIs loss will be we'll nigh irreparable.
 He was man of not only class ical, but practical education. He thoroughly understood human na ture, was at home among the refined, and among the plainer people could with refined dignity make all feel at ease. Children, and in fact all young people. had a warm place in his heart. Never little totler es capped his hearty hand-shake and cheering words. This world would be veritable paradise for children if all men were Col. Embrys.
 He was probably more widely known throughout the State than man in the county.
 He leaves an only sister, Mrs. Swearenger of Louisville, Ky, and two children, A. T. Embry of At kins, and Mrs. Dr. A. II. Scott of Little Rock, to mourn his loss.
 Peace to his ashes.

And giances swift, with glad surprise In the sweet brown deDtns or baby's eyes. Meath snowy lids, quyering down, To hide the laug hing eyes, so brown; Steals coy. coquettish look A tempting -batev on Cupit's hook, To catch the heart all unaware And hold it fast--a captive there.

 Many people who would scarcely notice an armless or legless man will instantly detect and remark on any blemish of the human face, and dive into all sorts of speculations as to It's cause and attendat circumstances. If you doubt this assertion become possessed of a discoiored optic and note how much attention it will in- yite.
