.'The New Boy.

At last we are to nave a great
humorous play. 1t is called "The
New Boy" and it ran in New York
and London to enormous houses. 1t
is in three acts of solid laughter and
applause. A learned Doctor who
owns school makes love to the
matron, a gorgeous young widow.
He wills her all his fortune but soon
discovers that his money is invested
in worthless stock. Then one of the
schoolboys, who has been playing
pranks, painting things red and
making love to the villains daughter
on the stage, gives the Doctor anony-
nous information aboat the stock
market that saves his fortune. The
Doctor is overlooking with gratitude
When he discovers that the wild
boy saved him he nearly collapses;
but when he discovess that the boy is
really man thirty years old, and
the husband of the matron whom he
is trying to marry the scene is be-
You'd description and the applause is
prolonged. Bert Coote, formerly
with Patti Rosa and Vernona Jar
beau, plays the title role.

The Emancipation of Labor by Machinery
One of the interesting proofs of the
Tightening of toll by the aid of ma
chinery is found in the constantly en-
larging sphere of labor being opened
to self-supporting women, and the
prediction il here made that within
the next quarter of a century the
ranks of the mechanic will be largely
augmented by women.
Statistics show that the number OF
women to whom the sewing ma
chine gives occupation today is vast
~ greater than the number who for
merly gained precarious livelihood
with the needle, or who could OBJ
tain similar work under old eondi-
tions.
Contrast the work-a-day clothes
aud simply made Sunday go-to-
meetlns' garments of the people of a
century ago with the wonderful va
riety and c0mplexity of finery3 COM
prising the holiday attire. and, in
deed, the everyday wearing apparel
of those of similar class today. Tfitis
true, as stated. that one sewing ma
chine operated by one woman will
do the work of ten hand-sewers. it 10
no less true that the modern women
| possesses ten times as many gar
ments as her sister ola former age,
and each garment displays ten times
as much machine-sewed work uponit.
! But the sewing machine is a mere
suggestion. The mind is fairly
staggered in contemplation of the
wealth OF opportunity for wage
earners that has been created by the
steam engine-especially in the form
of the steamship and locomotive,
which have literally opened new
worlds TO the old worlds poor. And
what is true of the steam engine is
true only in lesser degree of the tele-
graph, the telephone, the electric
motor, the turbine and the whole
range OF modern agricultural ma
chinery.
The modern bicycle-a theoretically
perfect invention, and III most re-
spects an almost perfect mechanism
has already produced beneficial
effects upon the physical development
OF the wage-earnlng class sufficiently |
marked to attract general notice, and
its future influence is incaicuiabie. 1t |
is destined to emancipate woman
from many of the conventional
Shacl1les which have bound her for
ages, and from some physical disa-
bilites which have hitherto limited
her sphere OF occupation. This is
only one of the many striking in
stances in which invention is helping
to benefit the masses.
arr convinced that modern meehan- |
ical inventions have in all cases
proved to be distinctly beneficial to
the wage Garner. He is through their
aid better housed, better fed, better
clothed, better educated, has more
numerous and better amusementS,
and is thus approaching more nearly
the condition of life of the employer;
indeed, the wage Garner today enjoys
many advantages of civilization
which were unknown to the EN-
ployer OF a generation gone by.
The majority of employers in this
country are men who have risen
from the ranks, and many OF our
most important inventions have
been made by wage earners, who
have the best opportunity, through
experience in their daily work, to
learn the necessities of the age.-A. &c.

THE FARMERS ASSOCIATION
The Low Price of Cotton Seed Discussed
A Resolution Urging Farmers TO
Hold Seed adopted.

Pursuant to call the Jefferson

vened at the Court House at II
O'Clock Tuesday, October 29th, with
a quorum present.
The President and Xice-P President
being absent, on motion Mr.. Leo NJ.

A lengthy discussion relative to the
present low price of cotton seed was
INDUCED in by the members OF the
Association, and, on motion of Capt.
NJ. 6. Sennett the Chair appointed
Messrs. John NJ Oracle, J B. Talbot
and Or. r. b. Donelson as commit
tee of three to draft resolutions ex-
pressing the views OF the Association
relative to the cotton seed question.
The committee submitted the follow
ing, which was read and approved:
To the jefferson County Farmers Assoeia-
ton.
We, your committee, beg leave to
report: That owing to the very
short crop of cotton grown this sea-
son, which in our estimation will
not exceed 6,500, GG6 buies, and with
the consequent shortage of the seed
product, we believe the present price
for seed is too low, and we advise
the members and other holders Of
cotton seed to he slow in marketing
same, as we feel confident this course
will greatly enhance its value.

Government Crop Report.

Washington. May 1.-THE weather
bureau in its review OF the weather
crop conditions for the week ended
May s. says:
Generally the week has been very fav-
orable. In the northwestern states
much-needed and for the present, ample
rains have fallen, which, with unus-
ually high temperature, has been fav-
orable for the termination OF seeds and
rapid growth of all vegetation.
Corn planting has progressed rapidly
during the week in the northern states
and is generally reported as in a prom
ising condition in the central and south
ern states, although considerable
damage has been done by cut worms
in some sections.
Winter wheat has been unfavorably
affected by warm weather in Missouri
and Kansas. Illinois reports the crop
in excellent condition where rains have
fallen. In Tennessee il is beginning 10
head.
Fruit prospects continue excellent
