For weeks a big revival had been
in progress at Wilson's stand, and this
bright Sunday morning was to witness
the browning act
Brother Petty bone Peters. in all his
dusky dignity, would bury thirty con-
verts beneath the baptismal wave Of

oh, for the happy contentment of
the negro.
With his coarse, everyday garments
he lays aside every perplexing care
and dons with his gaudy Sunday at

No fears Of a threate ned drought; no
reflections of grassy cotton disturb
the serenity of his soul during the
sermon. No guilty pangs of con-

Aunt Dinah Brown was a shining
light at Wilson's stand. No one could
sing louder. shout longer, or groan
more intensely. Her voice excited
the admiration OF the brethren and
the envy of the sisters
Now it happened on this occasion

one thing, however, upon which she
prided herself more than upon her
own faithful attendance at church. il
was the strict way in which she was
training up her only son. Sambo.
Deep down In her heart she secretly
hoped that Sanbo would some day
succeed Brother Peters at Wilson's.
With natural pride she sat on the
doorstep and watched her young
hopeful start to church.

Eumiliation) that Sambo, in spite of
his religious training and cody ex-
ample, in the form of Aunt Dinah,
was brimful of original sin, and no
sooner was he out of sight than he
left the road and started on a RIM
across the cotton field toward Roclk
creek. Here he was joined by another
boy. and together they trudRed along
the banks of the stream.
''Where's de bait, DickP'' asked
Sambo.
'.Dey's in my britches pocket was
the reply.
Dick cut two long canes. fastened
lines and hooks on them. and handed
one to the delighted Sambo-

Of each man at the store was a long one,

Marshfield does not resemble the

residences except the one he occupies and
two small houses. One of these is occu-
rent for two years. The major is proud
of the fact that nearly every one of his
employees who is the head of family
owns his own home. The laborer bought
the land of the improvement company
on long time and Upham became security

payments. Upham's store furnished the
family food and supplies.

How the Parties Differ in Their Way Of

During the past year the country has
had striking illustration of the differ
ence between the two parties in the way
they frame tariff bill The Republican
party goes about the business in a sober.
straightforward way, carefully consider,
ing the interests of the entire country.
The Democratic party goes about the
work OF reforming the tariff in par
tlsan spirit, never taking into account
what the business interests of the whole
country demands, but rather juggles with
the tariff as Japanese plays tricks with
balls and knives. The following from tha
Wheeling lntelligencer gives the differ.
ence between the two parties in the fol.
lowing terse paragraphs:
The Republican party frames q tariff
