the closest possible observance by the

THE SEED is THE VITAL THING

Planting must he begun right, else no
amount Of cultivation or fertilizer can pre-
vent the crop being failure. The nrst
step is the selection of the seed. Do no.
take any risks here. Get seeds that you
can depend upOn--seeds that are fresh,
that have a reputation behind them. The
most reliable seeds grown in this country
are Ferry's seeds. Wherever seeds are
sown the name of d. NJ. Ferry & Co., of
Detroit, Mich, is guarantee Of quality
and freshness. The greatest care and strict
est caution are exercised in the growing,
selection, packing and distribution.of their
seeds. Not only must they be fresh, but
they must be true to name.
On par with the quality ofthe seeds is
Ferry's Seed Annual for 1897, the most
comprehensive and valuable book of the
kind ever printed. Every planter, large and
small, should get, read and digest this
book before planting single seed. 1t is

Trinity church was filled yesterday
afternoon with children from the
evangelical Sunday schools of the city,
to listen to Evangelist Burnett. The
preacher unused the children with an
ecdotes ere pre- ceedng to serious bust
ness, ard got them all Interested in
him. Then he began to tell the chill
dren Of the Savior and his love for
little children and how der people
must become even as little children in
order to enter the kingdom of God. He
told them of a little christian boy down
near Corsicana who d led of spotted
fever. and how his father who was an
engineer down near Houston made
frantic efforts to get back to the bed
side of his dying boy. Finally when
be did reach home it was only to find
the child dead, but his wife told him
how the child had with his dying
breath asked after his papa and hoped
he would be good man and go to
heaven where he himself was going
The result was that that engineer was
converted and quit railrOadlng for the
pulpit. and be was now known as the
railroad preacher. Mr.. Burnett told
this story with such pathetic power
that there were many moist eyes In the
room, and at the close OF his remarks,
he brought the uncOnverted chiloren
and then the uncOnverted older people
aroung the altar, and over thirty chill
dren signed cards stating the church
connections and their desire to become
christians. 1t was an affecting specta
