Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
1 am so full of joy, 1 am just bub
bling over. Why's Because I have
just read The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
and heard from many of you.
l laugh more on Wednesdays than
all the other days of the week, so much
so that the little ones in the family
say: 1T must be a mighty funny pa
per-" 1 do know it is the best one in
our State, and brethren please do not
sleep tonight without paying your
just dues. You know how like a lost
sheep J on would feel if it did not coma
in, with such a kindly face and almost
a God bless you.
Minnie J. Conrad, in Lippincotts
writes the truth about women going
straight at a thing when she really
starts; then draws comparisons all
along, concluding with the question,
which is superior9 Well all along my
life since and during my girlhood 1
have wanted to lean on some strong
arm. My brother being away at col
lege, I had for school companions two
noble boys. I went to and from school
under one or the others care and I was
just sure the COWS would eat me, and
nearly always lost my bonnet or lunch
basket under a gum tree or broke
through the ice pond, if they we're not
there to help me take a r of myself.
And later in life, 1 thought I could
take the hired boy and build a chicken
yard,
Ofcourse I could. Nothing to pre-
vent my doing such a little thing.
But just let me tell you friends don't
start a knitting factory or creamery all
by yourself, if you do you will feel like
a widow. Mighty soon after my yard
was finished, my husband asked me to
lend him the lumber to make a pig
pen thought I saw the corners of
his mouth twitch and his eyes had
laughter in them. I tell you I was
glad to give it to him,
NV yard held chickens just like a
sitter would water, but alter feeling
like the little girl who missed her les
son and had to pay the penalty a great
while-lo and behold! upon the ashes
of disappointment there is rising and
near completion a paradise for the
comfort of chickens and turkeys built
by a man!
Now husbands just let your friend

and are in the same class.
We will try and answer the question
asked in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
What great orator exclaimed while
speaking, "Give me liberty or give me
death" Patrick Henry. We will ask
a question. Who on the battlefield
said: "Disperse ye rebelsl Lay down
your arms and ~disperseI' We will

WAKEFIELD, N. @.
Mr.. EDTTOR:-I am very much
pleased to see a column for the young
folks. 1 think it is just the thing.
Tell Aunt Fannie to keep right on with
her good letters, they are very inter
esting. 1 live in Wakefield, twenty
miles east of Raleigh. I like this small
village very much and more especially
the school. 1t is so nice to have the
benefits of a good school.
We have a farm here and raise to
bacco. like very much to help in
raising tobacco, but at first I wasn't
fond of it at all. Finally papa told we
children that he intended toraise more
of it each year until we learned to
'.love" it. I think / have been liking
it considerably well ever since. I also
wish to answer the schoolboy's ques-
ton. 1t was Patrick Henry who said {:
Give me liberty or death"

WOMEN N MONEY.
A Mistaken Notion of Men That is all
Too Prevalent.

a Mistaken Notion OF Men That is all
Too Prevalent.
The opinion has generally prevailed
among men, or at least has been ex-
pressed for centuries, that women are
densely and incurably ignorant about
money. He knows no more of money
than a woman" is almost a proverb
The absurdest stories are perpetually
told of woman's total incapacity to
learn anything about money, and some
of them are doubtless believed. What
was current ages ago in regard to wo-
men is current now and is almost as
likely to gain credit as it was then.
Men are apt to forget what extraordi-
nary changes woman has undergone in
this century-in the last half particu-
larly. She may have been a financial
simpleton in the remote past; she surely
is not now, in most cases.

G RIGHT TO KISS.
Mrs. Hentschell Reused the Neighbors
With her Oscillation.

Mrs. Hentschell Reused the Neighbors
With her Oscillation.
Miss Annie Wheeler is a maiden la
day who lives in a house on Cedar
street, near Melbone street, FIatbush,
New York, and she has made up her
mind that so long as she lives there
she will not have her maiden medita-
tions, fancy free" disturbed by the
~osculatory antics of her co-boarders.
In the same house lives Mrs. Lydia
Hentschell, who is pretty, blue eyed,
nineteen, winsome and who is very
much in love with her fine young hus-
band. Mrs. Hentschell naturally likes
to kiss her husband, and her husband
very properly is delighted to recipro-
cate in kind.
When Miss Wheeler attempted to
stop the kissing the Hentschells
brought her into court before Justice
Steers.
Miss Wheeler was asked what she
had to say why she should not be put
under bond to keep the peace. She in
timated to Justice Steers that the
kisses were so loud and resounding
and continuous as to keep her from
sleeping or even thinking calmly.
They were not, she limited, light as
rose leaves, fine as fire" but more like
unto the sudden withdrawal of mules
left hind foot from a Doggy place in a
country road.
Justice Steers thereupon reprimand-
ed Miss Wheeler and put her under
5000 bond to keep the peace. He de-
cided that the kisses of two young
married people need not necessarily be
noiseless to come within the law. They
had a perfect legal right to kiss out
loud, he said, and his decision is the
first on record, it becomes the law of
the State from this out.

H KINDLY WORD.
1t is Often Withheld Until too Late to do
Good.

IL is Otten withheld Until TOO Late TO do
Good.
"Taffy is better than epitaphy,"
says some one. 1t is sometimes diff
cult amidst the restraints and conven
tionalties of everyday life to speak our
love and interest in the welfare of
those near US in the daily life. The
opportunity does not seem to come;
the heart does not seem to open itself
freely. The husband thinks his wife
incompatible; but their talk is of bus
mess, household expenses and social
engagements, and there seems to be
no point at which the tender speeches
of their courtship can be renewed. The
wits believes her husband to be the
greatest man in America, but she fears
to tell him so lest he call her "a senti-
mental little goosie." The children
are not unmindful of the debt they
owe their parents, but their native and
acquired independence keeps them
from speaking of it, and their parents
wonder sadly if the their boys
and girls are growing away from
them, now that they are growing
toward manhood and womanhood. By
and by calamity breaks up the long
habit of reserve. The loved one passes
out of the daily presence, and then the
words of love are spoken. They are
not insincere words, but they are
truitless, for the moment of their op-
portunity is past.
1t was not the crucified Jesus who
most needed the amounting from Mary's
precious vase. It was the living Jesus
still tortured by the brutality of his
enemies, and by the gross mlsconcep
ton of those who called themselves
his friends. If Mary had waited for
the Easter morning, her sweet minis
Try would have been too late. As 1t
was, she filed the whole world with
the fragrance of an opportune service.

that is all I have seen against the
boomers. They are boomers. A
certain preacher said not long ago that
he would not speak to a lady member
of his church if she wore boomers.
Aunt Fanny, in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER says she never wore boomers
and none of her daughters shall do so.
She says they are not indecent. She
say they are not so cumbersome as
skirts. Well then what is the matter
with them9 Now we are friendly to
wards the bloomers and are willing for
all of our daughters TO wear them if
they desire to do 80. Now rs we de-
fend the bloomers we will give
reason for so doing and show some of
the advantages they have over the
cumbel some skirts. I want to be
honest about the matter and will give
the old fashioned skirt all the credit
that is due it. know a lady can shoe
a chicken out of the garden or away
from the fower beds better with skirts
than bloomers. The skirt makes a
good bed for q tom cat to sleep on
when the lady is sitting around the
fire. The skirt comes in nice to fright

the two left hand teets. Some other
feeble arguments might be put for

are all insignificant when we come to

future like a Kansas Blizzard, and

Think of the peace of mind of the

Tommie Was Nervous and Killed
the Wrong Woman.

the Wrong Woman.
Tommie Tucker, the negro who
killed his wife last Sunday morn
ing at Shady Grove, came in yes
terday morning and gave himself
up.
The negro went to Adam Eich-
elberger, who employed him when
a boy, and told him the circum-
stances and asked him to go with
him to the sheriff, (which the colonel
did, and Tommie is now locked
up in the county Jail.
It seems that the killing was not
as cold blooded a murder as at first
thought.
Another man had stolen the af-
fections Of Tommie's faithless
spouse, and had caused a separa-
ton.
Upon the night of the killing
the erring couple were holding
high carnival, and the enraged
Tommie could not resist the temp
tation of putting a few buckshot
into the mans devoted ribs, and
Tommie being nervous. and the
twain pretty close together, he
killed his wife instead of her para
mour. 50 we should think the
man is deserving of considerable
mercy.
