Thirteen cents per pound FOR Ia

nor less than bankruptcy to the pro

readily conceded, but we should n0t
rely upon this alone, for the late
boom in the cotton market has stImu-
lated the farmer to renewed effort
His future looks bright and rosy, and

So il behooves us to realize AT once
the mistake, and blunders of the

The pespIsed Ieft Hand.

The despised left hand makes good
its claims in many cases to be the
DETER of the two. The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicely
the strings of the violin are surely as
cunning as those that move the bow.
The hand that guides the reins and
steers with exactness the horse
through the crowded streets is quite
as cunning as, one might say much
more than, the hand that wields the
whip. But great is fashion; unan-
swerable is theory.
Itwould appear that as life becomes
more and more complex we are be-
coming more and more specialized,

its is encouraged rather than him

mingham and by every slap admin
istered to the offending fingers that

caboose fares, which he sometimes
divides with the company, but con-

Wooden money in the shape of ex-

tablishment of the Bank of England
in 1864, current in this country. Tai
lies was the name given to the notched
sticks formerly in use in England for
keeping the accounts of the ex-
chequer. They were square rods of
hazel or willow, inscribed ON one side
with notches indicating the sum for
which the tally was an acknowledg-
ment and on two other sides with
the sum in Roman characters.
When the transaction was COM
p1eted, the tally recording it was
split lengthwise, so that each section
contained half of each notch and
one of the written sides. One half,
called the tally or check, was given
to the person for whose service it
was intended, the other half, called
the counter tally, was retained in the
exchequer until its corresponding
tally should be brought it by the per
son who had last given value for it.
it thus became current token

hshment of the Bank of England
government payments were made

lies in the exchequer was abolished
