 Our farmers have been making good time picking cotton since the 24th and several fields begin to look "brown and bare. It is better to soil the hands with honest toil, and eat peas ants humble pie, than to soil the soul with lll-gotten gains, and live in luxury.
 Were Lord Do-Well the peer of Lord Say-Well then the forces of mercy, justice, truth and righ' would be marshaled against tht foes of mankind, a mighty scon quering army.
 It IS said that, "every bitter ha' it's sweet" and the over produc tion of cotton last year has a least, one redeeming feature. l has given employment to man. who would otherwise be idle an' out of bread.

 AS SEEN BY A PREACHER.

Rev. w. P. Palmore, editor or the St. Louis Christian Advocate, was at Columbus, Ohio, during the senatorial contest that resulted in Hanna's election and has the following to say in the Christian Advocate of January 10, concern ing the sights and scenes:
 We rejected the report as fabn- lous, if not libelous, that the piii of MT. Hanna for one day at one saloon was $7,000. But after spending short time at the Nell House our incredulity and donbt departed. This Neil hotel IS across the street. from and nearly opposite the main entrance to the splendid state capitol, and was the millionaire candidates headquar- ters. In the spacious entrance, reception room and corridors were crowds of red-faced bipeds in pantaloons, many of them maud- lin drunk, seething, sputtering, blaspheming and blackguarding. Some trying to fight each other, but too drunk to move on lines sufficiently straight or direct to collide, while their friends were pretending to hold them apart. We made trip around the world and did not hear dirtier language or witness more disgraceful scenes ;;n any part of organism or heath 2 endom than in this great hotel within stone's throw of Ohio's state house. Between the vast
 reception room and the spacious
 saloon was an open arch-way
 through which the tides of human
 debauchery and infamy were eb-
 ping and flowing.

 H. G. I am forced through per sonal observation to say that the farmers of Monroe county are in a worse condition than they were , we arsago. The way to get out of this trouble is to stop advancing so much on 5c cotton. The average far mer tries to live be- vond his means. He loves the "old arm chair better than he does the blow handles. There IS only one redemption for this class of farmers and that is to lay aside the little bundle of pride and pull the" "bell chord more vigorous ly over the mules back" and raise more corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, peas, beans, cabbage, etc. for home consumption. First supply the home. Second, sell the surp- lus. Tbird, lay up your net earn ing and use as little of them as possibly. Then the "good old times" will come again and pros perity will visit every home.
