Mr.. Prater, of st. Louis, who has
studied the corn stalk scientifically,
thinks that within . few years
they will bring from S15 to S25
per acre. Mills will be establish
ed in the South, he says, and near
ly the whole crop of corn stalks
at least that part of the crop which
is grown on farms contiguous to
the railway lines-will be used in
the mills. The market for the
manufactured product is already
made, as the products will be sta
pie articles in constant demand.
Of the products that may be eyoly
ed from the matured stalk-the
stalk which has borne its grain
Mr.. Prater enumerates cellulous,
celluloid, smokeless gunpOwder,
lacquer, cattle feed, roofing mate

that the Board of Supervis,

consider the question of declaring
vacant certain offices of the coun.
ty because the present incumbents
haye not paid their taxes-not even
a poll. Under the constitution of
the State, any person who holds
an office under the laws of Missis-
sippi must be "a qualified elector,'
and to be "a qualified elector' he
must have paid OH or before the
first day of February all taxes re-
quired of him and which he has
had an opportunity of paying for
the two preceding years" 1t
might be a good idea for Boards of

then the ranks of those who be-
lieve in the utter adjustment of
the whole system. What can be

see the supposed strongest bank

will place confidence in any of
them unless there is soon a

Many people believe they are a

The Rev. VIM. P. F. Ferguson, whose pie
ture we give above, will not be unfamiliar
by sight to many readers. A young man, he
has still had an extended experience as
foreign missionary, teacher, editor, lecturer
and pastor that has given him a wide ac-
quaintance in many parts OF the country.
In an interview a few days ago he said:
In the early summer of '9i / went upon
a tour through Canada on my wheel. My
route was from Utica to Cape Vincent thence
by steamer TO Kingston, and from there along
the north shore of the lake 10 Toronto and
around to Niagara Falls. / arrived at Cape
Vincent at 8 o'clock, having ridden against
a atrong head wind all day.
AFTER a delightful sail through the
Thousand Islands, l stepped on shore in
that quaint old city of Kingston. A slight
shower had fallen and the streets were damp,
go that wisdom would have dictated that !.
Ieg-weary as | was, should nave kept in
doors, but so anxious was | 10 see the old
city that | spent the whole evening in the
s.-sets.
Five O'clock the next morning brought
c very uu.geieame discovery. i was lame
liz aotli aGkins and knees. The head wind
aHi the lamp streets lai proved an unfor-
t'viat- com '~iaaf;aa. ] gave. no Seyer, little
thought 70 j.. %supposing il wod.d wear of in
a sew hours, aud the FIRST fasl of sunlight
ssT me speeding out the splendid read that
leads toward Napanee.
Night overlook meats little village near
fort Hops, but found me still lame. / rested
ths next day. anil the next, bot it was too
lac; the mischief WINS lone. / rode a good
many miles during the RESI- Of the season, but
never a day and seldom a mile without pain.
The winter came and | put away MY
wheel, saying now | SHALL get weil,' but to
my disappointment | grew worse. Some
days my knees almost forbade walking and
tly ankles would not permit me to wear
shoes. At times | uttered severe pain, so
severe as to make study a practical impos-
sibility, yet it must he understood that
concealed the condition of affairs as far
as possible.
From being local the trouble began to
spread slightly and my anxiety increased.
1 consulted two physicians and followed
their excellent advice, but without result.
So the winter passed. One day in March /
happened TO take in my hand a newspaper
