II LOVE YOU So"

Last night, my darling. as you slept,
thought heard you sigh,
And TO your little crib crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then I stopped and kissed your brow,
For 0l love you So
You are too young TO know tt now,
But some time you shall know
Some time when, in darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon q face,
Calm In eternal sleep;
The V0tceless lips, the wr1nkl0d brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know 10 now,
But some time you may knoWi
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, 0 my darling, how my tears
Are falling as write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss OF long ago
You are too young TO know II now
But some time you shall k-oW.

EducatiOn Of Farmers ChIldren.

September brings the opening of the
public schools, and with 1t, in many
farmers families, the question whether
the older boys and girls can or cannot
be spared from the work of farm and
house to attend the opening sessions.
Circumstances alter cases, but as a
rule the farmer, no matter how pressed
with work, cannot afford to .Curtail
the education of his children. We have
great faith in "the little red school
house." 1t Is to that characteristic In
stitutiOn that America owes much of
her greatness, and until the youth has
completed its course, ever days at
tendance denied him detrscts just so
much from his future capital. Parents
owe it to their children that they be
denied no opportunity of securing that
fundamental education upon which
must be bullded their future prosper
ity and usefulL ess.
The question of the introduC-
tion Of the study of agricultural
science in the district school ia
undergoing an interesting discussion
in several States, and while the plan
has many things to recommend it, the
truth iS, under our present system, the
district school teacher has now more
work than he can do well. 1t is well
to remember that one thing well
taught is better than q dozen hall
taught and not learned. Some time
In the future, when we have learned
that the real object of education Is the
development of the mind and not the
imparting of knowledge, we will be In
q position to introduce agricultural
science into the common school sys
tenn, but 1t will be a study Of life and
growth, that will lead the boys and
girls to open their eyes to the wonders
Of nature about them, in every bush and
every blade Of grass, and not study
Of books nor Of 'rules for farming. -

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The bankers OF New York are unin.
tentionally giving the country an object
lesson more valuable than that which
precipitated a panic three years ago.
They are proving conclusiyely that
they have plenty Of gold by keeping
the gold reserve filed without pay and
IN the face of adverse circumstances.
But willie the stores of gold have been
tnrncd ont TO convince the country that
there is no scarcity Of money under Il

SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

Hon, Il. j. Phelps, ex Minister to
England, in letter on the present p !
itical eituation and referring to the
Chicago platform and nominee, says:
The attack that we have TO resist is
not upon policy but upon the lle of
the nation. FOR they would taKc ils
u 10 who destroy tho means by which It
lives"
Il seems TO us that we have heard the
sentiment expressed by Mr.. Phelps
before. And come to think Of 1t, there
was a statesman in the region OF Venice

of the name Of Shylock, who formerly
made use Of it aud apparently enter.

some prominent bankers In the West.
/ was assured that these letters on pres
entation would accord me a hospitable
reception. With this assurance l made
my first CALL with friend, on the pres
ident of large banking institution in
Arkansas. My reception proved far
from being agreeable. In fact was in
suited in unmistakable language.
Upon Withdrawing from his office
asked my friend for an explanation of
this uncalled for attack on myself and my
company.
This banker, like many others all
over this Western county, he replied,
twas for years the Shylock money len
der. His interest rates for money ran
from 10 TO 20 per cent each year. Your
company entered the West with your
millions of funds and broke the inter
est rate down to G and per cent year.
You have therefore ruined his business.
If he succeeds in driving you aud
other loaners of money out of the West,
he and other Shylocks will again have
these unfortunate buyers at their
mercy"
Since my return home we have re-
ceived many applications for money
from that and other Western sections
Of the country. One applicant has just
offered us fruit farm as security for
a loan of only $4,000 that we know to be
worth $4,000. He requested us to re-
ply by telegraph. Our answer was No.
Some OF our loans are now maturing and
we arc appealed to for an extension OF
time. 1t is not our purpose to be op
pressive. But having been Informed
through some Of their political represen
tatives that they propose to pay US back
in deprecated currency, or silver, We
prefer to curtail further lending O
money until we know how this money
question is to be settled in the ap
preaching election. If then the results
convince us that the borrowers arr
against repudiation and free silver, W.
shall continue to aid the West as in the
past with money to improve and builC
up its homes. No more loans, however
will be made by our company until th
pending political question is settled in
way that will restore our confidence
which at present is so outrageousl
shocked"

pany he represents is withheld frou

A Sad Case.

MOUNT VERNON, Dec. 16.-Indict.
ments have been found by the grand
jury of this country against A. 7. Mil
Ter, of Lsurens county, and Jodie Mil
Ter, of Wilcox county, for assault on
the person Of Jennie Barber, the
daughter of Rev. Jacob A. Barber, a
Methodist preacher. A. T. Miller is
an uncle of Jodie Miller. The latter
boarded at the Barber home and be-
came intimate with the girl, who is 16
years old. He asked her to marry him
and proposed an elopement. The girl
consented and, as is told by the father,
accompanied the men in buggy. She
was taken to house in the woods and
there the older Miller is said to have
made improper advances. The girl
repulsed him and he agreed to 60 af.
ter magistrate and have the two le-
gally married. While he was absent
the nephew is said to have grossly
misused the girl. She was then re.
leased and allowed to return to her
parents. A warrant has been issued
for both men.
