S,.cial Curresponde,ce,to Iopas State Bystasder.
On last Friday eveningswe had quite
a severe fire at the residence of Mr..
Clarence Brown, but by piligent work
the house and everything in it was
saved.
The people of this burg are enjoying
their Christmas as well a. i could De eS-

The entertainment at the G. Z. o. of
T. was quite success, but those who
are lovers of pleasure can always lind
it in this little burg.
J. B. Chapman and several others
spent very pleasant afternoon Christ
mas at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs,
Bennett Crank.
Mr.. and Mrs. I. A. Coleman are

ILL.,, with his brother.
A G. Rhodes gavea a grand reception
Christmas and quite number of his
friends from this city We're present, and
all reporte good time.
Everybody were in hopes that Mrs.
Coa,son would appear in this burg
again, for those who have heard her
play will never forget her.
Everybody reads The BYsTANpER,
likes it and $ ,ys it is splendid paper
1t will be pleasure to our agents to
placea copy in every house.
We mentio led a few weeks ago OF
Miss Lizzie b. Woodfork going to Col
orado for her health. And we also
mentioned in our last issue that she
had returned. owing to the air being
too light for her. Now it is the most
painful. she is dead. So, dear editor,
you must allow us space in your paper
to express our sympathy.
SUBJECT: SHE Is GONE.
On Sunday night between the hours
of twelve and three Muchakinocls was
again visited by the relentless hand of
death, in the person of Lizzie B. Wood
fork. Her gentle footsteps Will be
heard no more. All! no: and her
tongue has become chilled by death.
Lizzie lived a consistent Christian all
the days of her life. Let us lay to the
bereaved parents, we KIN w that it was
hard to give her up, but she is gone.
She sleep, that sleep that knows no
waking.
All! when we see precious blossom,
That we have tended with such care,
Wnen rudely taken from our bosom,
Oh /! how our aching hearts despair.
Oh! yes, onr little blossom has gone.
But in heaven above, where all is love,
We slall see her again.
And there shall be no more dying
there's no more weeping. And God
shall wipe away all tears from thine
eyes, So let me say to that beloved
father, strive to meet. that beloved
daughter, for we can go to her. but she
can'tcomc to as. Where shall we list
to hear her footsteps and where shall
we look to see that familiar face? But
th. question can he easily answered.
Around the throne of God, where
angels sing their morning songs. Yes.
she has gone where her tranquil hap
piness shall be forever.
Around her lonely grave we fingered
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling that all our hopes have perished
With flower that we cherished so.
Let me say to her friends and
sckoolmates strive to meet your friend
Lizzie in Glory.

The sultan of Turkey refused abso-
lutely to allow inquiry into the Ar
menian outrages by the United States
1T will seem strange to even the casual
observer that the United States should
want to investigate the affairs of any
other country on the globe. There are
a certain c!ass of American citizens
who might have coat, pants. vest and
cap made of the stars and stripes and
yet receive no protection whatever
The flag means nothing to them-no
more than a rag The GHHrefIes of the
country have held mass meetings on
the Armenian outrages. But it should
be remembered that the churches of
this country have co-habited with the
unclean thing called slavery and are to-
day ashamed of their history. They
endorse societies formed for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals but they
have not one word to say in opposition
to burning Negroes at the stake. pre-
sumably for the reason that the stake
is a weapon of missionary work and
the promotion of the love for God and
our Savior. America can equal Ar
menia in atrocious crimes, and not do
its best either. The United States is
only one nation out of many and not at
the head by any means Uncle Sam
got slap in the face by the sultan.

Farming without Wheat.

Many farmers are looking about for a
substitute for wheat. Just what that
substitute may be must be determined
by locality and markets. Following are
some suggestions made by the Philadel-
phia Farm Journal:
Those who set high value on the
straw for feeding and bedding stock, as
is the case with the truck farmers in the
middle states, can grow rye instead of
wheat. By sowing early it can be pas
tured lightly in the fall, and even then
will grow good crop of straw to cut
the latter part Of May, in time to plant
an early variety of field corn, sugar corn
or late potatoes on the stubble The crop
being cut just as the grain is forming
makes first rate litter and hay that
cattle eat with avidity, and besides
makes a. comparatively light draft on
the fertility, of the soil.
In the vicinity Of the cities there is
generally brisk demand for clean,
straight rye straw at prices equal to the
best timothy hay. Where this is the
case it will pay well to grow rye and
thrash it in the machine now made for
the purpose of thrashing without break
ing the straw. Farmers who grow wheat
chiefly for the grain, and who have a
good market for hay. will find it better
policy to seed the land to grass alone
and sell hay. 1t may be we'll to give
oats consideration as substitute for
wheat. For years this grain has been rel
atiyely higher than wheat Larger and
still larger supplies seem to be demand
ed every year.
On many farms the area devoted to
orchard fruits, especially apples, might
be largely increased to the advantage Of
their owners. The same intelligent care
and an equal expenditure of labor and
money for fertility applied to an orchard
will certainly make greater returns than
when applied to wheat growing With
orchard fruits the farmer can combine
the keeping Of sheep and hogs for meat
production.
