 Right upon the heels of this blizzard come indications of spring. The pussy l willow buds are really swelling and the beautiful skunks cabbage is getting ready | to be the first wild flower in bloom and the bees find sweetness even in this sister of the calla. Saturday two robins came close to our house where three blue jays visit us many times daily for bread and | corn. We counted to see how many ker- nels one bird took away at one trip. He | picked up 20 and flew to the woods. A few years ago we counted the chestnuts blue jay took in his 'sack'' at one time |; it was nine!
 F. Isbell's bird dog, Sank, had a ter rible scare the other day. He has been so much attached to William Jordan and his horse that he has to be tied up when MI Jordan goes away. The other day he was tied to chair and when the door was opened out went Sank with the chair, going out to the gate in the same style of ''the man who fell over the wheel. barrow" "Sank'' seemed to go over and under and through the chair till he broke loose. Then he ran right past Is- bells for Zoar Bridge. There seems to be misunderstanding on "Sank's" part as he still refuses to visit at Jordan's. 1 re. W. B.

COST OF RELIGIOUS CONVERTS.
An Investigation Has Been Made By a
Chicago Man.

Al Investigation Has Been Made BY a
Chicago Man.
Religious converts come high in
Chicago. At a banquet of Chicago
ministers Wednesday night Fed L. Chap
man. editor of church paper, said he
had thoroughly Investigated the cost of
conversions in Chicago to the protestant
faith. and found that it cost the Baptists
$295 to save a soul, the Methodists 1884,
the Pres5yterians 1888 and the Congre-
gationausts $3.50. This would make the
average cost of a convert SAB.
Mr.. Chapman's statements have been
severely criticised by some of the min
listers who were present. But he will no
dolbt be able to prove his assertions.
Nothing short of brass band or variety
stage performance, with lager beer on
tap, will catch crowd in Chicago, and
these things cost money.
But, all jokes aside, if all the money
invested by the churches of this country
should be charged up to converts to
Christianity, and the per capita fixed by
dividing the number of dollars invested
BY the number of converts enrolled
annually, the figures of the Rev. Mr.
Chapman would not be found to be
extravagant. But such division of the
cost of religion would not be fair or just
from a religious standpoint. While new
converts must be had to keep the church
in healthy and growing condition,
there are other considerations which
should come into the account.

NOT A GOOD SHOWING.
SIC, 900, 900 Went Out of the South for
Provisions in 1894.

$40 900 600 Went Out of the South for
Provisions in 1894.
The south made great advance last
year in the production Of food crops,
but did not go far enough.
The Manufacturers Record has made
an investigation which shows that vast
amount of mony still goes from the
south to the west to buy provisions
which our own people ought to produce.
In order to obtain reliable data on the
subject the Record has collected Stats
tics of ten different distributing points
in the south for western and northern
''meat," fodder and breadstuffs "
These points are: Griffin, Ga, Norfork
and Danville, Va, Nashville and Mem
phis, Tenn, lAustin, Tex, Mobile,
Montgomery and Admission, Ala, and
| Little Rock, Ark. The sums paid west
ern and northern dealers during 1894 for
the class of articles named for cOnsump-
ton in regions supplied by the places
named, were tor "meats, Including lard,
SO, OPS, 223; for ''stock feed" including
oats, hay ETC., 81, 16,OOo and for dread
stuffs,'' including -four, wheat, corn aud
meal, S6,976,00 or total of $50, 1922
tor ten southern cities, alone.
All the regions referred to in this
statement are we'll adapted for raising
food crops and stock and there is no
reason why they should buy one dollar s
worth of some articles for which they
now pay millions year.

Cotton Seed Hulls and Meal Are Almost

more hogs were allowed to run. Since
the Introduction of the cotton seed hulls
and meal Mr.. Nelson has lost every one
Of his hogs, and he is confident they
died from bad effects produced by the
seed and hulls.
Mr.. Charlie Rawson, who, like Mr..

he attributes it to the same cause that

Questions.
From the Savannah Press.
The desire of counsel for men accused

quently and severely commented upon.
1t has taken a New York lawyer, though,
to go to the extreme""reverse of this and
PROFOUND test questions that only men
of superior mental training could cor
rectly answer.
In the examination of prospective ju-
rors for the trial of Police Inspector Nc
Laughlin in the New York oyer and ter
miner some curious and most extraordi-
nary questions were propounded. Here
is one: HAS the wave of reform through
which we have passed made practical
politicians acquainted wlththe terminolo-
~ of altruistic ethics?" This disposed
of one wCuld-be juror, but that question
was nothing compared with another,
which came a little later in this form:
Suppose that the court SHOULD charge
that it is incumbent upon the people
primarily to establish prima facie that
there exists no reasonable doubt of the
culpability of the defendant, but that
you are not to be prevented from render
ing true verdict by having capricious
douht. horn of weak caprice or within,
what would you do?" The man OF
whom this was asked also escaped jury
duty, but not until he had had the pleas
ure of answering: eff the court charged
that it would charge a lot of rot" Ey-
erybody laughed at this retort; even the
Judge on the bench was forced to smile.

Help Mother.

The following timely paragraph is
from the pen of correspondent OF the
Blakely Observer:
eve here enter plea for the many
mothers grown old, faded and feeble be-
fore their time. Is it because their
boys and girls are not thoughtfully con-
siderate and helpful enough? When
they become old enough to be OF service
in household mother has become so
accustomed to doing all the work her
self. sto taking upon her shoulders all
the cares. that she forgets to lay off the
burdens, little by little, on the shoulders
so well able to bear them. 1t is partly
her fault, to be sure, but fault IN
mitted out of love and mistaken Kind
ness for her children. Although it has
been wears since our mother passed over
the river, yet the little remark she some
times made to a hayward boy, You will
miss me when 1 am gone, impresses
me more and more as each year rolls
by. Help mother--it will be of mutual
benefit and pleasure, and it will be a
sweet remembrance in days to come"
