The Mere Money Getter.

There is not in the world more
ignoble character than the mere
money getting American, insensl-
lie to every duty, regardless OF ev.
cry principle, bent only on amass-
ing fortune and putting his for
tune to the basest uses, whether
these uses be speculate in stocks
and wreck railroads himself or al
low his son to lead a lie of foolish
and expensive ldlcness at gross
debauchery or to purchase some
scoundrel Of high social position,
foreign or native, for his daughter
Such man is only the more dan
gerous if he occasionally does
some deed Ike founding a college
or endowing church, which
makes these good people who are
also foolish forget his real iniquity.
These men are equally careless
of the workingmen, whom they OPP
press. and OF the State, whose ex-
istence they imperll. There are
not very many Of them, but there
is very great number Of men who
approach more or less closely to
The type, and in SO far as they do
so approach they are curses to tht
country.
The man who is content to let
politics 60 from bad to worse, jest
ing at the corruption of politicians;
the man who is content TO see the
ma administration Of justice with.
out an immediate and resolatc rf-
fort to reform it, is Sinking his
duty and is preparing the way
for Infinite woe in the future.
, Hard, brutal Indifference to the
right %d an equally shortsighted-
ness as to the inevitable results of
corruption and injustice are bale.
full beyond measure, and yet they
are characteristic of a great many
Americans who consider them
selves perfectly respectable and
who are considered thriving, pros.
porous men by their easy.going fel-
| low citizens.

Ross and Mr.. Hamilton beat every
body spelling.
Mr.. Davis was the spelling mas.
ter. He gave out the word niece
or at least the word that sounds
,he same niece. It was the geo.
logical word 'gne,sa. 1t had gone
all along the class of about forty.
and wien it came to DR.. Ross he
spelled it quick AS a fash. After
while Miss Davis said, Papa,
!et me- play schoolnlistress awhile
and you spell.
The fret word she gave to her
father was 'mapeuver. He missed
aud was so wrought up over it that
he excused himself and went to

The Places Where Its Light
Has Shown.

n dozen newspapers in the State
that have been established as long
- THE STAR, which was establish
ed IN 1866 and has since then ell.
joyed an uninterrupted existence
except for short interim after the
plant was destroyed by contiaga-
ZION. In the following short
sketch we will follow its history
through the twenty-nine years
since it first appeared at Good
nan.
IN 1866 Mr.. J. II. Wallace, we'll
known in this county, established
the CENTRAL BANNER at Koscius-
10 snd after a short time sold the
prrss. type, and other material to
Is. p. NJ. Turner. who took it to
Goodman, which was then one o.
lhe most tfourisEing towns in all
shis country. At tie latter place
in September, 1865, Turner, in
soniunction with J. l.. McCullam
and W. B. Turnel. established the
SOUTHERN STAR, and thus was
5ounded this paper.
One year later, in 1867, the pa
per WAS purchased by Prof W. II.
Magruder, present professor of
English vt the State A. & NJ. Col.
3Hgp, and one of the most distln-
.uiShed educators in the South.
?rof. Magruder re.christened it,
calling it the CENTRAL STAR, and
by this name it was known for
many years. In May. 1869. he
sold half interest in the enter.
prise to Richard Walpole, who is
.ell.remembered by all old Cit.
Eens Of Alfalfa, Holmes, and Yazoo
counties and in August, 1871 Mr..
Xalpole bought the entire outfit
Nsantime it had been removed to
D,irav3.
Subs-1 srentIy the CENTRAL STA.
WAS moved to KosciuskO by Mr..
Walpole, who in the fall of 1874,
soId half interest in it to II. p.
johnson, father Of the present
proprietor, and the latter after
wards hCcshs ste entire business.
al hsa,lhh at one time rendered it
necessary for Capt. Johnson to quit
work, and he accordingly leased
me paper for two years to Mr.. j.
G. Clark Of this city. Capt. John.
som emntinued in possession until
hls death in 1888, when the Kos.
etUsKo STAR (the new name con.
Frrred by him when he bought !,
from Nr. Walpole in order to r:o.t
thoroughly identify it with The
usme Of the place at which it Was
published) was sold to V. H. Nj
..oa and John Anderson. How th,
plan: was destr eyed by fire ant
puolica.ion resumed by Anderson
nnd G.. l.. Sneed, how it WAS after
yards purchased by VI. Ct. Camp
BEN and w. NJ. Noah, and FINAL,
by its present owner are matter

TlaE STAR has always been
sl:alse. Representing the health.

among whe'a it WAS published,
has gSassa@asd the respect Of a.

secure pullets which make the best win
ter layers. In this selection hardness and
activity must be considered, the first be-
ing the most important. Choose only the
most vigorous. One of the chief causes
Of infertile eggs is improper mating.
For young pullets select vigorous cocks
In their second year. Mate old hens with
cockerels not less than 10 months old.
Eggs from immature pullets are often
infertile or produce inferior chicks. g
pr Never allow mongrel cock in poul-
try yard. There is not much to be gain
ed by keeping mongrel hens, although
they are sometimes useful in grading up
the flock. Always use pure bred male,
and If mongrel hens are kept let the
weak points in the hens be strong ones
In the male. He must be perfectly
healthy, active and graceful. Breeding
fowls which are confined must be given
all possible care. Be careful not to over
feed. Heavy feeding may make them
plump and glossy, but their offspring
will be weak and sickly.

Fowls For the Breeding Pen


In a paper read before the North
American Beekeepers' association at the
twenty fifth annual meeting President
Abbot had the following to say concern
ing the wintering of bees: The secret of
successful wintering Of bees, stated in
few words, is plenty of food in the right
place. The right place is above the clus-
ter. AS soon as cold weather comes the
bees form in compact cluster to keep
warm, and this cluster moves only one
way, upward. . ST.. 80
In the months of January and Feb
ruary there is generally long spell of
cold weather. During this time the clus-
ter is moving toward the tops of the
frames, consuming as it goes all of the
honey in the frames Immediately above
1t. The cold weather continuing, it
finally reaches the top Of the frames
and can 60 no farther In this direction.
It cannot disband and move over to 9TH
or frames; neither can it move length
wise on the frames it now occupies.
What is the result? Having consumed
all Of the food in their honey sacs, and
live on wood, the bees die of starvation.
Had the weather turned warm for a few
days, SO the cluster could have broken
up and the bees ''taken flight, " they
then would have formed in another To-
cality on the frames or else would have
carried sufficient food into the combs
where they had clustered before to carry
them over another cold spell Of reason
able length. .aafr {
President Abbot feeds his bees granu-
lated sugar made into solid cakes. The
warmth and moisture arising from the
cluster will keep the sugar sufficiently
soft SO the bees can eat it without any
trouble. d

feet square and the roof water.tight.
Dampness will cause gapes, which is
hard to cure. Place the Stats far enough
apart that the little turkeys may run in
and out at pleasure. In warm days
they will gather in punches at the sunny
side of the coop and seem to enjoy the
sunshine. Should danger threaten. q
few warning notes from the mother will
soon bring them inside.-Mrs. Geo.

hens to lay, injudicious use will do
harm. Avoid too much physics and
condiments. Where fowls are kept in
close quarters, scatter straw on the
ground and feed your grain on the
ground so as to cause fowls to scratch
for it and take exercise. If they are
inclined to be lazy, starve them little
and force them to scratch for their hv-
ing in the straw. Join the Poultry AS
ISOLATION; freely conslt the experienced
breeders and make success. Good
luck to you.-W. w. PALMER, in
