to boys:
Boys, stay on the farm; be good,
be contented; it is the place for you
to grow and develop into good,
honorable, pure men. Nearly all the
best, most famous and most useful
men in the world come from the
farms. All the cities are full of them
and they fill all professions, trades
and avocations Yet they become
Dten on the furms, and MANY old
ones, before they left them. Don't
be RESTLESS or eager to leaV" the farm;
develop n sound mind in n sound
body there. There is plenty of
time. We have lived ii T. eight
years on farm, and we think we
are. as good as any body. All our
best thoughts are conceived in our
quiet country home. Read; store
your mind with the wisdom ot men
stored in books, ard the history OF
the world; study nature and her
laws. Stay on the farm until you
are prepared Co leave il, if ever"

wHIsKEY FOR HIS sHRoUD.
A Kentucky Planter Buried in a Stone
C,ffin Full of Old Bourbon.

CYNTHIANA, Ky, Jan. 4.-Charles
Bramlett, who died Saturday, at the
age of eighty, owned several plans
tations in Harrison county, and had
been very prosperous man all his
life, His only peculiarity was in his
ideas for bis own burial. He was a
great reader and perhaps drew his
notions of his own interment from
the history of ancient Egypt.
AT any rate, about fifteen years
ago he hired a stonemason to make
him sarcophagus of blue Kentucky
limestone, which is much more dur~
able than the hardest marble. At
the same time he bought barrel of
the best old Bourbon the State could
produce, and ordered that at his
death the whiskey should be
poured upon his body after
it was placed in the stone cof-
fin. The sarcophagus was then to
be Theoretically sealed and placed in
II grave near his residence.
All his directions have been fol
lowed to the letter. and he was
buried today. 1t required number
of strong horses to carry his body in
its heavy receptacle to the grave.

EVANGELISM.

Monday, in New York, was be-
gun a great evangelistic movement
which is designed to be far reaching
in it's results and to continue daily
for period of a year. Prominent in
the movement are Rev. D. l.. Moody,
Rev. A. G. Dixon and others.
The two preachers named have
given the New York journal state
ments in reference to the great
undertaking. From Mr.. Dixon we
quote as follows:
"Many of the churches in Greater
New \ ork have, through their minis
ters, expressed their intentions of
joining the movement, and, in addi-
tion to preaching and working them
selves, these ministers will throw
open their churches to outsiders.
We believe that this great
religious revival now sWeei,ing over
the country comes from God. We
will not limit our work to meetings
in the churches, theatres and halls,
but viii have workers in the factories
and workshops, and they will talk
and sing for the workmen during the
noon hour. Ferdinand Schiverea,
who has had much experience in this
line of work, will have charge"
Mr.. Moody says "the Indications
are that the movement for the deep
ening of the spiritual life will become
general throughout the United
States" He says, further:

of the Northwest are organizing for

THERE is food for thought in the
open letter of Mr.. J. NJ. Galloway, OF
Rockingham. addressed to Chairmen
Aver, Holton and Manly. He sug-
gests as a practicable and just
method of increasing the public
school fund the passage of a law
making the payment of tax for the
previous year a condition precedent
to registration. He says that a
comparison of the registration list
with the tax list will show that
about one fifth of the registered
voters are not listed for taxation;
say about O,O0O in the State, which
would add about SO, 900 to the
school fund. To say the least, there
is injustice in permitting $4,000
voters to exercise the prerogatives
of citizenship without sharing its
burdens.

TIL AT PETITIf
Core ctiOn of Erroneous Statements in

Editors of THE SENTINEL.
| notice a card IN the Republican
from F. 81. Morris and also one from
j. W. Marshall, both claiming that
their names were forged to the PEI
tition asking the Judge to appoint
two additional County Commission
ers. 1t seems to me that it is a pity
that these gentlemen didn't go to
the trouble before rushing into
print, co gain little cheap noto>
rIety, to examine tie petition for
themselves, to see whether their
names were there, instead of taking
for granted what Editor Ellis or
some other person told them.
AS to Mr.. Morris, | don't suppose
th at any respectable Democrat would
want his name to any petition whats
ever, and / can't therefore believe
that anybody was mean enough to
forge his name, and | assert that
there is no such name on the peti
ton as F. II. Morris.
AS to the name of j. W. Marshall,
the writer of that card knows or
ought to know that there are at
least three other Marshalls in Fore
syth county bearing the very same
initials, ore of whom did sign his
name to said petition and does not
deny it. Now | venture to assert
that on investigation, it will he
found that every name upon the pes
tition is properly there, and instead
of 200, we have no doubt 1000
could have been gotten if desired
1t does seem to me that all this clap
trap about the appointment of two
additional County Commissioners
comes with poor grace from Editor
Ellis, the selfselected Chairman of
the Board, as he seems to be at the
bottom of all of it, inasmuch as he is
simply carrying out the law passed
by his party two years ago. If it is
true, as the Republicans say, ths
tLis law was made to protect the
white people in the Eastern counties
against the negroes, we think it
serves a very good purpose in this
case, for we can see very little diff
ference between a board of negro
