SOME INFORMATION
Which Will Amply Repay the
Reader to Commit to Memory.

Fifty years ago young man who had Just
attained his majority wandered into small
village in Northern We mont. He had not
much more stock in trade than indom:table
push, few dollars, and kit Of stone
cutter tools. AT that time the village Of
Barre, for that is the place referred to, did
not supply employment to three skilled
granite workers, and for some time the
young man found work at his trade rather a
precarious means Of earning livelihood.
Years went by and as Barre as a granite
center became known, sign was suspended
over an office, which read L. H. Hooker,
Contractor and Builder. The young man
stuck 10 the growing village, saw it a
town, then city, then double its population
and Importance in the last ten years, and
finally he retired from active life when
the granite industry gave work to 1000
skilled mechanics, not to mention quarry
men and laborers. Is this represent

is plain talk, but it is cold truth. Itis justified by the rotten condi- ton of affairs prevailing in the county today. With all it's soul the vigor of the News dcnounces the detestahle vote-seller and vote-buyer. They are outlaws, they are thieves, they are thugs of a common herd They are despoilers of public honor and of public interests They would and do rob each other, rob their friends and plunder the public The state prison is defrauded of its own as long as they run at large God speed the day when the men of Garland county who yet retain untarnished principles ofcommon honesty and honor will rise in their might and put in operation some movement to suppress this damnable condi- ton of political pollution.-Hot Springs News.

you will meet him in Heaven.
 Oh, how hard to think that he is gone forever. Yes, we mourn the loss of this beautiful bud, just blooming in all its beauty. Oh, dear pupil. how we miss you, when we see your empty seat, which once your sweet bright self filled. But now, when we look there, our eyes fill with tears, for its charms have vanished. How silent and sad it seems! Weep not, fond parents, for your Wal lace Is not lost-he is waiting for you on the Golden Shore, just be- yond the river. l know your home is dreary since he left; Yes. sad and lonely, every spot. When we think of the loved one gone be- fore, the friends we appreciate most, we do not dread the dark valley of death.
 Do forget? An no,
 For mem rvs golden chain Shall bind his heart to the hearts below,
 Till they meet and touch again. Each link is strong and bright
 And loves electric flame
 Flows freely down like river Of light
 To the world from which he came Do not mourn when another star
 shines out from the gttering sky; Do not weep when the raging voice of love
 Aud the storm of conflict die Then, why should our tears run down;
 Or our hearts be sorely riyen? For another gems in the Sayiors crown.
 Aud another soul iu Heaven"

When incredu- lous men of science made inquiry into his case. he simply replied that seventeen men from Hickorybend township had come in the day be- fore and paid their subscriptions. After that no little thing like d streak of lightning could surprise him.
 It Is a curious fact that thousands of men, honest, liberal and prompt in the payment of all other debts, seem to think that any old time will do for the payment of subscip- tions to publications that are not constantly reminding them of their little obligations It Is nothing more than carelessness. but carelessness Is one of the faults that business re formers have long and industriously been endeavoring to overcome. It is mighty good thing to weed out of one's character and its eIimina- tion is especially desirably in those who carry on in detail the transac- tions of the business and conner cial world.-Exchange.

FROM the present indications many farms in Drew county will wave with growing wheat next spring. Our people have tried four and half cent cotton to their entire satisfaction. There may not be a great deal of ready cash to the farmers in the growing of grain, but there will be a good living and some satisfaction, which is much more than can be extracted from cotton in its pres ent low prices. More grain, more stock and less cotton is the farmers only hope of pros perity.
