Field Notes.

Mrs. Spence, President of Alabama
woman When any of sour National
lecturers visit Mississippi we begin to
look about to make up enough money
to pay for the lecture Not SO in Ala
bama; tickets were printed and sold
during the past month for the lecture
of Mrs Clara Hoffman to be held in
Birmingham and the lecture was we'll
advertised, and in consequence the
pocket of the Alabama Treasury is very
plethoric at this time. Many people
would rather pay 80 cents to hear an
elevating lecture than pay the same
amount for theatre ticket. Let us
wake up along that line.
A loyal white ribboner was return
ing from the Worlds Fair last sum-
mer, and stopped over at st. Louis to
visit "Shaw's Gardens" Getting in
the street Car with a companion she
found it occupied by only one gentle
man, and he noticed at once her knot

ranged her bundles and with quiet,
courteous attention rendered many
services that is always acceptable to

Getting Ready for Convention.

1t is only short while now until the
State Convention will meet and it i:
the duty of every local union to do al
that is possible between now and theI
to make that an occasion of great profit
and pleasure.
Let us all be ready to report what
ever has been done during the yeal
and if nothing has been done so far
get to work and do something this
month. So many departments Offer
ways of doing good and advancing ouI
cause that it does seem all might find
something to do that would be not on
ly helping the cause but congenial tc
their own feelings.
One thing we could all do that sc
many of us leave undone and that is

1t costs only one dollar a year and
through its columns we have the great
privilege of an Interchange of thought
and plans in our work If we have not
a dollar to spare it does seem we might
make some sacrifice and get one for
such cause as we are advocating So
long as we do not keep up with the
work of the organization by taking and
reading our State and National organs
just so long will we find it difficult to
make the way plain for others to join
and work with us.
We need the papers, but we need the
presence of our speakers, too, and eve
ry local union in the State that can ar
range for our Evangelist, Mrs. Smell,
ought to have her at the earliest day
possible before the Convention meets.
AS you will see elsewhere, she comes
to us all free of charge and all we have
to do is to secure place of entertain
ment for her which ought to be very
easy thing to do) and to take collec-
ton at the close of her address.
Our beloved President, Mrs. Mount,
is anxious to have her visit as many
unions as possible and as soon as pos
sible. Let me urge all unions to write
her at once so that no time may be lost.
Dear sisters, let us come up nobly
this year to the help of our President;
she labors with such zeal and earnest
ness and prays as she works in this
holy cause. Let us not disappoint her;
but rejoice her heart with glad news of
good work done all over the State.

Another Contest in Chickasaw.

Chickasaw county is again in the
battle field fighting for "God, Home
and Native Land" The opponents of
temperance are blatant in their denun-
citation of sober, respectable town and
declare the whole county is ruined by
Prohibition. They are all down in the
we'll and can only see one little patch
of blue sky, consequently aver the sky
is nothing but miserable sham; from
their narrow view and contracted sight
they can see only one way, but if they
would come up higher they would re-
alize that the ''spangled Heavens and
shining frame" was the veil that hides
the "Great Originals" face, and that
temperance, order and justice were the
hand -maidens of God. This business
must thrive upon the destruction of
noble manhood. lost souls, blasted
lives, wrecked homes, crushed hearts
and the hot, salt tears that we'll up
from agonized mothers who must give
up their sons to a life of debauchery
and shame that these saloon keepers
may live in affluence and wealth.
But has Okolona, in Chickasaw cOun-
ty, suffered in business? Brutus says
SO, and Brutus is an honorable man,
but the purer element of that town
and county know it to be otherwise.
The old worn cry was sent abroad that
Prohibition ruined every town from a
business standpoint. Corinth sent a
statement from her business men to
Rev. w. G. Augustus, pastor of M. E.
Church and the leading factor in this
temperance work of Okolona, that
would offset any such charge. but
none are so blind as those who will not
see." One of the leading wholesale
houses declared that they would not
give the Corinth of today for forty
Corinths under the whisky regime.
Prohibition has been well tried here
and has never even bent under the
strain. Years ago Rev. j. w. Honnoll
and other stalwart Christians laid the
foundations for a great temperance
temple whose might and power would
be land mark to guide faltering, FAINT
hearted towns, and today it lifts aloft
it white crowned head and wherever a
battle is raging sends messages to con-
firm the great truths of the results OF
Prohibition in Corinth. Whisky Will

VARIOUS NOTES.

When the records for the year 1883
were made up it was found that there
were forty-One PAGERS and twenty-seven
trotters with records of 2:l5 or better.
The following year nine new PAGERS
were added to the list and six new trot-
improvement, the PAGERS receiving
eighteen additions and the trotters six
teen. Last year was the greatest IN
nearly every respect that the industry
has seen and the increase in extreme
speed nothing short of marvellous. More
horses of each way of going secured
records below 2:l5 than in all previous
years, and the seventy-nne PAGERS and
siXty-tive trotters brought the total to
l47 and ll6 respectively. That was the
position ar the opening of the present
season. 1t is an easy matter to figure
the relative position of trotters and
PAGERS during these four years. In 1889
the trOtters comprised over 80 per cent
of the 2:l5 list. In 1890 it was nearer
40 per cent. In 1891 1t was over ~ per
cent and last year over A per cent. 1t
was away back in 1868 that Billy BOyce
paced mile under saddle in 2:l45 and
it was six years later that the first trot-
ter went below 2:l5. From the above
figures, it would seem that the trot-
tiers would in few years have as many
in the extreme list as the pacers.- EX-
change.
There have been a number of very
famous horses in the Morgan family,
among which the names of three-Ver-
mont Black Hawk, Ethan Allen. :2j5 q,
and Daniel Lambert-are pre-emlnent as
the greatest of their race. These three,
representing successive generations, are
among the most celebrated stations,
living or dead, and it is generally agreed
that the son was superior to the sire and
the grandson to both. In Daniel Lam
bert all the excellencles of the type
seemed to have reached their highest
development; he had speed and the
best blood, being out of old Fanny

he was held to be one of the most sin

"RORN" TROTTERS.

i'm the ',Editor's Study" of Harpers'
Magazine, March number, appears the
following quotation which is not inap-
propriate to the consideration of the
fast trotting instinct: I'VE hear much
of natural voice. There Is no good
natural voice. There are natural capaci-
ties and personalities there is the en-
d0wment of organs, as there is OF tenn
permanent. There are abundant indica
tons in tone and power and individual
peculiarly of what the voice will be
when it is developed and trained. The
Psychologist say that the vocal organs
OF fine singer are beautiful sight, the
perfection of health development, and
very different in appearance from the
same organs before they are trained
All horses are born trotters, but a
very fast trotter has never been born;
that is. a horse which could trot 2:20
gait, or probably great deal slower
than that without training. Natural
capacities and pOtentialities', adaptation
to acquire fast trotting action, some
ready pupils, a majority of less aptitude,
but all a combination of natural gifts
and educational requirements.
The only horse / ever saw which
could trot very fast without previous
training to trOt was one that had been
moderately fast PAGER. Far faster, how
ever, at the tr0t than the pace. and this
divergence from the usual course is
troublesome to account for with any
certainty of being right in the eonclu-
sion. He had been paced in races,
trained for some time at that gait, had
shown no propensity even to slow trot-
ting progression and all at once "struek"
phenomenally fast trot. He was
owned by Mr.. Derby in Chicago, who
was also the owner of the trOtter Prairie
Boy.
The last named horse had a record of
:34l, and his mate, the PAGER, few
seconds faster. Mr.. Derby had farm
twelve miles from Chicago, and return
ing from there when going over sandy
piece of road, the PAGER, for the first
time in his owners knowledge, trotted.
From that point home he continued to
trot, was driven with Prairie Boy to
the driving park the next day and still
trotted, and at that newly adopted gait
was too fast for his mate. Hitched by
himself to skeleton wagon he did not
change his mind trOttinp at a rate of
speed never before exhibited on that
track by the fastest trotters. A quarter
IN 81 seconds, half in 03, and that
SO long ago as 1865, could rightly be
termed marvellous. A half mile was the
limit of his capacity, so that he could
not figure IN races, and the only record
of his feats is that which "old-timers"
keep in their remembrances and few
paragraphs in the journals of the day.
Still he could not be called born
trotter. as his pacing education had de-
veloped the potentialties for rapid pro-
gression outside of the gallop, and when
the diagonal movement was found to be
better adapted for high rate of speed
he had sense enough to adhere to it.
The trouble was in his best organs Of
respiration, and some defect in that
important portion of the machinery
rendered him only a niue days wonder,
of no service on the track and untitled
