4" Mother. She Was yyiIIln'."

"I am nine years old and gwine on
ten" says little Jimmy as he mopPed
the tears outen his eyes with the
Ilnuckles of one hand. "I aint very big
to my size, but I'll grow fast from now
on. am a whole Passle stronger than
look and can do heap of things. can
tote wood, and fetch water, and drive
up the COWS, and feed the horses, and
sweep and hoe, and churn, and pick
cotton, and will be big enough to plow
in two or three years. Whilst I'm little
and weasly like am don't want nothin
but somthin to do and summers to stay,
and am willin to work for that"
About that time mother she come out
TO where we was and wanted to know
where in the round created world did
the child come from. told her he was
what you mought call an orphant colt,
without bed or feed or paster and was
thinkin right serious about turnin him
in my lot for the winter anyhow. Then
7 put in and give her little Jimmy's
story exactly like he had told it to me.
She was a right smart moved towards
the boy when she heard he didn't have
no ma, though she was powerful bad
worried 10 think that he never did have
10 pa. But still at the same time she
was willin to leave it with me, as / was
the general boss. Anything said went
with her, and she was always more than
willin to do her part by the friendless
and the homeless and the helpless.
'Iife in this valley of dry bones is full
of ups and downs, and most in generally
1x-
knows what we may come to some of
these days"
So 1 told little Jimmy that he mought
come in and live with us, and call our
home his home till he could do better.

The Sugar Crop Prospects.

From all parts Of the sugar belt come
reports of excellent crops. The cane,
although not exceptionally high for
this time of the year, is very vigorous
and the stands are excellent. The
favorable weather has permitted the
planters to lay by most of their cane in
good shape, and it is likely thai an
other week or two will see this work
entirely completed. There is every
reason to look for large yield during
last year and equaling the banner
crop of 1894.

age over eight or ten bushels per acre.
Corn is looking fine. The oat crop is
good. Apples and peaches will average

whipped tho right Hands Down.

Well, little Jimmy he whipped his
fight, and whipped it hands down.
About three miles down the road you
will pass by the prittest farm in all these
regions round. The house sets back in
4 big patch of oak trees. 1t is painted
white with green trimmins and a light
pin rod on it. On the left hand side of
the road as you go you will notice a big
paster, with a spring branch runnin
through it and fine herd of cattle graz
in around or restin under the shade OF
the trees. Every cow and calf and year
lin in that paster is marked with crop
in the left ear and a underbit in the
right. They belong to young man by
the name of Scruggins-Jeems Sanders
Scruggins, or little Jimmy, as he use
to be. When he was free, white and 21
I give him the reins and told him he
must row wiggle for himself, and he
has kept up a tremendous wigglin from
that good day to this blessed hour.
After buyil the land and buildin his
cage he caught a bird to mate with him.
And if yon notice right cloSt you viii be
more than probable to see Misses Scrug-
gins stirrin around the house as you
pass by. So little Jimmy has whipped
his fights and whipped il hands down,
but he had to work and dig and sweat
and fight, then fight and work and dig
end sweat over every inch Of the ground.

Training Up Farmer.
The second year after little Jimmy
come to live with us put him in 4rain-
in for a farmer. give him eStton
patch for his ownest own, you under
stand, and told him he could work il at
odd times and between drinks, as 1t
were, when mother didn't have him
bumped and hustlin around the house
In the meantime let the hands plow
right on through his patch like it was
mine, and he didn't have nothin tn do
but to hoe and pick it out.
That fall when the crops were all
out of the fields and the cash was in
the old sock me and Jimmy had to settle
up, and after considerable figuration it
seems like he was ahead of the music
to the extent of seven dollars and six
bits. So we then had a settlement on
the spot and paid him every cent in
f,1l that was comm to him. And if he
lives hundred years he never will be
as rich as he was that day. He was as
proud as young rooster with his first
tail feathers. have knowed folks that
would give their boys patches to work
and call their own, and then along in
the fell the money would get mixed up
with the general family funs aud never
reach the boys pockets. But that mint
right. The way to make sompthin out
of a boy and make him feel :ike he is
somebody from somewheres IS to give
him boys chances and tote fair with
him. If you don't want - raise a
sneak you must treat the boy like the
world is countin on him for the maxim
of man some of these days.
Little Jimmy took his money and
put it away where he could look at it
oncst in awhile, and kept it two or
three weeks before he said anything
about spendin of it. When we settled
up / told him the money was his -he
had worked for it and yearnt it with his
own hands, and he could git the good
of il any way he wanted to. He could
save il for luck, or he could spend it for
Christmas, and it was nobody's busi-
ness but his. But one mornin he showed
UP all of a suddent like and wanted to
know what l would take for that little
heifer calf, which our old dun cow had
that calf was about three parts Jersey
and come from a family of fine mixers
and L lowed she was worth ten dollars
of any mans money. But bein as it was
Jimmy and I could size his pile l told
him he could take her for seven dollars
If the figgers suited him. Right there
we closed the trade and Jimmy didn't
have but only six bits left. But he
lowed that was enough to buy him i
new knife and some little extries for
Christmas. The next day we went out
and put the yearlin in Jimmy's mark
a crop in the left ear and underbit
in the right-and she was his heT"A'
forwards and forever after that.

up, and I give him a right smart
rope SO he could work little and play
heap and have his way and take his
own gait like IL suited him. But he didn't
need any pettin, and he wouldn't be
spilled in the raisin. 1t never was too
late or too soon, or too hot or too cold
for little Jimmy to be up and about;
tendin to the various and sundry odds
and ends and jobs and turns that was
laid out for him around the place. He
was always ready and always willin,
and when you say that about yearlin
boy you have remarked whole passle.
