New YORK, Jan. l6.-In Cuban cir.

A Christmas Trip.

The thousands of Texans who
came from the South Atlantic
States find much pleasure in revert
ing to the happy days of long ago
when they were children, and Of
ten they awake at night to recall
those scenes of yore which gave
to life a charm, and which now
come in later years as visions of
Joy. There is a tender spot in
every heart for the old home, and
the memories which cluster about
the dear old spot are solaces in the
weary. weary struggle we make
day by day to build in our new
Eldorado a home to which our
children in future time will turn,
as we turn now to the old place
where our loved ones in the even
ing of life await the final summons.

Relief AT Last.

The drouth sufferers who met
Gov. Foster at Ruston, Tuesday,
represented Bienville, Webster,
Claiborne, Union, Lincoln, Jack
son, CatahOula, Grant, Caldwell,
Ouachita and Winn. The reports
from these parishes were pitiful
indeed, and deeply affected the
Governor and Auditor Heard, VINO
accompanied him.
1t was learned that 300, 900 BUSH
els of corn and some meat, cost
ing at least 500, 900 will be requir-
ed as charity, and 100000 bushels
more to be furnished at a low price
to those still able to buy a little.
Guv. Foster thinks it best fo
the State to supply the entire
amount, and will at once CORES
pond with the members of the
Legislature to get their consent to
an appropriation of 300, 200 for
this purpose, and will send the
Commissioner of Agriculture and
one other person to corn centers OF
the West to get the lowest possible
figures on the corn and meat nec-
essary to be bought. The rail-
roads have about all consented to
bring it free of freight charges,
and thus save the State and the
people big item.
Thus will the effects of a great
calamity be averted and actual suf-
fering prevented, and Gov. Foster
will deserve, and no doubt enjoy
great credit for the very effective
and business like manner in which
he is handling great question.

Gen. Weyler has at last learned
that bluff and false reports of i'm
aginary victories, will not win in
Cuba, and his government is about
to demand his return to Spain, or
some tangible results of the war.
So the old butcher has taken the
field in person, backed by nearly
200, 900 men, for the purpose of
doing the Cubans up in short or
der.
This is pleasing to Maceo and
and his brave volunteers to liberty,
who in their mountain Businesses,
well supplied with ammunition and
food for the first time, are tanta-
lizing and tempting the Spanirds
to fight. Liberty will win in Cuba
despite the great odds against
which it has striven.

The Enterprise clips from the
Bayou Sara True Democrat of this
week, the following:
"In organizing the party for work
in 1900 the Democrats should steer
clear OF P0pulistic rocks. There
are many staunch men of the par.
ty who have followed silver but
shrank aghast from the dangerous
Populist doctrines that permeated
the Chicago platform. 1t was not
Democracy nor was it silver that
was repudiated on November 3,
'96, but the hybrid creation that
had been made of the once great
party.
We are more ashamed of it than
you are, friends, and already has
National chairman Butler announc-
ed that the Populists would sever
their recent alliance with the Dem
ocrats. Senator PETER also says:
1.-THE silver Democrats have con.
troll of their party organization,
and if they insist upon going into
the next campaign with the party
name, and expect silver Republi.
cans and Populists to continue the
alliance that was formed during
the last campaign, they will most
likely tail all around"
We have always known the gold
bug proclivities of some OF the pa
pers and politicians, that reluuct-
antly supported Bryan in the late
campaign, and 80 did the country,
and this was one of the many.rea
sons why SO many people stayed at

Business Revival.


We have a glorious story to tell
this week. From all over the land
come accounts of a revival of bu-
siness and industry. From Maine
to California, there is an increased
activity in all kinds of business,
trade, work, manufacturers of all
sorts. With every tick of the
wires, the glorious news comes in
and falls upon our ears like the
laughing waters of the Minnehaha.
The tin bucket brigade has taken
up its march and the hosts of want
are fleeing in dismay. We do not
know how long it will last, but
while it lasts it will bring Joy to
thousands and thousands of homes
The cloud of distress are lifting.
Town and country are putting on
a new industrial garb and smiling
confidence, like a messenger from
heaven, bids every one to the we'd
ding feast of prosperity.-Mon-
roe Bulletin.
We have noticed in our exchang-
es from the manufacturing and
business centers, the news of open
ing mills and business revivals that
is encouraging.
This is an evidence of the fact
the few financial magnates who
control the money supply of this
country, are thoroughly satisfied
with the election of Mckinley,
and hence are investing their hoard
ed millions.
This will make money matters
easier and restore a little of their
lost value to property and labor.
If this revival to business and
employment of idle labor, and
consequent increased consumption
of farm products, does not raise
prices of same in time to benefit
our farmers this season, it will at
least make money for farm purcha-
ses and for the purchase Of sup
plies and implements with which to
produce another crop SO much
easier to obtain that business in
that direction will experience a
much needed revival and our farm
ing interests will flourish.
While we know this prosperity
is only for Q or 3 years at best,
and that then the shylOck and plu-
tocrats can and will make another
panic, and dash our prosperity to
the earth upon the least probabili.
ty of a change in the financial sys-
tenn looking to the restoration of
this power to the people, YET we
ought to accept this temporary
prosperity in good faith, aid it all
in our power and make the most
of it for ourselves and the coun-
try.
1t will give breathing spell to
the people, and enable them to
restore some of the losses of the
past 2 years, and thus strengthen
them for the great struggle for
financial freedom that must be
fought out before we are again a
free people,

Value Of Sorghum.

The by-p1oducts of sorghum may all
be utilized. The seed contains the same
properties as any other grain. If the
weather is dry it may be cured in the
field and threshed with a machine, but
if showery it will be necessary to shed
it to have nice, bright seed; 20 to 30
bushels per acre is common crop.
Parties having good, pure seed should
advertise it for sale, but be sure it will
grow and is true to name. The flour
made from the seed is very much like
buckwheat. If wanted for feeding pur-
poses it will not be necessary to thresh
it. For laying hens nothing equals it,
The blades are better than corn fodder.
For forage crop plant thlckly in drills,
and in autumn cut and shock the same
as corn, remembering that it will not
work in the sllo because it is too prone
to ferment. The scum from the evapor-
ator is valuable, too, so save every drop;
everything will learn to eat it, from
your chickens to your best horse. Mix
with mill feed or cob meal and give one
feed day. The bagasse, when fresh,
is as good as timothy hay. If skeptical,
feed cautiously at first. Farm and
Home.

Damping Off.

Damplng off is disease caused by the
growth in seedlings or cuttings of fungus
parasites. Too great moisture content
of the soil, air, high temperatures, close
apartments and insufficient light not
only favor the rapid growth of the para
sites, but they also induce weakly
growth on the part of the Seeding, so
that it cannot go readily resist the dis
ease.
The parasites can grow and multiply
on decaying vegetable matter which is
in the soil. When once in the soil they
can remain alive fer months, even
though the soil becomes dry or frozen.
Soil used in seed beds or cutting beds
should be free from decaying vegetable
matter, or care should be used that the
matter is thoroughly decom posed. Fresh
sand is said to be the best for small
seedlings.
When the disease first sets in stir the
soil about the plants and do everything
possible to dry the soil without killing
the plants or raising the temperature;
keep the temperature as low as the
plants Will bear. If this does not save
them, change the soil and clean the beds
by whltewashing them. The Cornell
station recommends that when cuttings
become seriously diseased they be
changed to fresh soil, resetting only the
perfectly healthy ones.

when death overlook him, he called "a
Tragedy of the Great North Road"
The first installment appears in the CHRIST
mas number of the Cosmopolitan. James
Lane Allen begins his new novel, "But-
terf1les." which promises to be among
the best works of the author. "Ouida,"
with one of her inimitable character
sketches. Sarah Grand, and Zangwill
with Stevenson, make the fiction strong
and almost incomprehenslble feature of
a ten cent magazine. Nor is the illus

the dotted lines, indicating what should
be taken off, and the letters and b
show bad form in SHINING. In the tam
ner's trim these instructions are OBJ
served:
Take off lower jaw and upper lip behind the
nostrils.
The pate between the eyes.
The horns and ears.
The cheek, when throat is cut across.
The fore legs at the knee.
The hind legs midway between knee and
dew claws, or higher up when cut across.
All tags caused by unskilled skinning. (See
dotted lines)
The points marked ga" should appear at
"b'' if properly skinned.
The parts marked to be cut off are
worthless to the tanner, but have value
for glue stock, yet from distant points
this value would not equal the cost Of
freight. Butchers will see how large
part of the trim on this hide would be
avoided by care in skinning. The trim
is nearly the same as has been made in
New York for years. All foreign hides
and some western are trimmed even
closer than this.
It will increase the popularity Of any
regular shipper to put them in this
shape, and considerable saving Of
freight will be made and risk of damage
avoided. The tanners are demanding it
shall be done.
Some other points of Importance may
be mentioned here. Sunburned hides
cause much loss It is believed that this
occurs in the first "a hours after hide
is taken off. IF butchers will leave hides
spread out in shade for that time before
hanging up, it may be avoided. Scored,
grubby, fallen and badly branded hides
are more and more avoided by tanners.
In New York all such hides go at one
