Small Farms.

The division of large farms into
smaller ones in trucking, dairying and
fruit growing localities, is on the in
crease. It is not only sensible move,
but a profitable one. AS rule, too
little working capital is used to the
acre. How to grow more on fewer
acres of land is the problem that now
confronts the thinking farmers. The
superficial culture of large acreage
must give place to the more thorough
and deep culture of limited one. Sue
cess lies in this direction. Farm and

DIR, Watkins is Virginian by family,
birth, and education. He was educa-
ted at Hampden-Sidney College and
then at the University of Virginia.
His stand at the latter institution was

al tendencies that have dominated his
entire career:
Deciding to enter upon the ministry
of the Presbyterian Church, he took
the course at the Theological Semina-
ry at Hampden-S Sidney, a., becoming
yet further the close and thoughtful
student OF the subject that interested
him. For many years he was the pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church
at Raleigh, North Carolina, at the
same time lecturing on topics from his
chosen subjects, philosophy and litera-
ture, before the students of Peace In
stitute, a widely known institution for
young ladies. A few years ago he
moved, chiefly in regard to his health,
to the prosperous and growing little
city Of Spartanburg, S. c., having ac-
cepted the pastorship of an unusually
strong and intelligent and well-to-do
congregation. DR.. Watkins is recog-
nized as writer and lecturer and
preacher Of high order of thinking.
The University and Knoxville will
look forward in anticipation to his
coming.
The annual address before the grad
uating classes will be delivered on
Tuesday, June 9Th, by the Reverend
DR.. 1. S. Hopkins, of Atlanta.
DIR. Hopkins was at one time profess
sor at Emory College, Oxford, Ga,
and afterwards became President of
the same institution. While occupy
ing the latter position he was q strong
advocate of the introduction of techni-
cal education into Southern institutions
of learning, and established a techical
department at Emory College, which
has proved very successful On ac-
count of his work at Oxford in this di-
rection he was called to the presidency
of the Georgia Institute of.Technology,
at Atlanta, where he remained for
about ten years. Under his guidance
this institution was built up to a high
degree of usefulness and prosperity.
DR.. Hopkins has for many years beer
a minister, in the Methodist. Episcopa
church South, and has lately hac
charge of Trinity Church, Atlanta, thu
most prosperous in the denomination
He is man Of distinguished presenc,
and great reputation as an orator, anC

bishops of the Methodist Church
South. The University is to be con
graduated upon securing his service

see American genius walking in the
gardens of the intellectual gods, gather
ing sweets for the soul from a thousand
unwithering flowers, catching music
from the spheres and bounty from ten
thousand fields of light.
If our fathers, who died hundred
years ago, could come back from "the
tongueless silence of the dreamless
dust, and see the miracles that have
been wrought, if they could see their
children talking across oceans, and
sweeping across continents in palace
cars swifter than the swiftest wing; if
they could see the modern reapers
sweeping like phantom ships through
seas of sunset gold, and hear the music
of the harvest song, and if they could
catch glimpses of the myriads of cities
and towns and country homes, which
are the habitations of seventy millions
of people, if they could look upon this
beautiful white Centennial City, rising
like seraph here in the heart of Ten
nessee, under whose wings the nations
of the earth are gathering to join us in
this glorious jubilee, I doubt not that
they would shout for JOY, and sing with
us, Praise God From All Whom
Blessings Flow"

On the question of how to save the fur seals
the Review of Reviews takes the ground that
President Jordan's recommendations should be
needed at once, and that without waiting for
Englands sanction the United States should
absolutely prohibit American citizens from
engaging at any season Of the year in the taking
of seals in tee open sea. The Review also urges
that, If other means fail to make pelagiC seal
ing Improbable, oil the young female seals on
the Priblof Islands should be branded in such
manner as to make their fur vslueless, The
females being thus protected, the herd would

by the size of the audiences at the

is the large number of visitors
