"Good-got rid of the sherifs!" Who
are those lustrous souls before the
throne? When the question is asked
"Who are they?" the angels standing
on the sea of glass respond, These are
they who came out of great business
trouble and had their robes washed and
made white in the blood of Lamb"
A man arose in Fulton street prayer
meeting and said: Il wish publicly to
acknowledge the goodness Of God. !
was in business trouble. had money
to pay, and | had no means to pay it,
and | was in utter despair of all human
help, and l laid this matter before the
Lord, and this morning l went down
among some old business friends 1 had
not seen in many years just to make a
call, and one said to me: Why, I am
so glad to see you! Walk in. We have
some money on our books due you a
good while, but We didn't know where
you were, and therefore not having
your address we could not send it. We
are very glad you have Gomez" And
the man standing in Fulton street
prayer meeting said, ';The amount they
paid me was six times what I owed. "
You say it only happened so? You are
unbelieviDg. God answered that mans
prayer.
Oh, you want business grace! Com
mercial ethics, business honor, laws Of
trade, are all very good in their place,
but there are times when you want some
thing more than this world will give
you. You want God. For lack Of him
some that you have known have con-
sented to forge, and to maltreat their
friends, and to curse their enemies, and
their names have been bulletined among
scoundrels, and they have been ground
to powder, while other mel you have
known have gone through the very same
stress Of circumstances triumphant.
There are men here today who fought
the hattle and gained the victory. Peo-
pie came ont Of that mans store, and
they say: "Well, if there ever was a
Christian trader, that is one." Integri-
ty kept the books and waited on the
customers. Light from the eternal world
flashed through the show windows.
Love to God and love to man presided
in that storehouse. Some day people
going through the street notice that the
shutters of the window are not down.
The bar Of that store door has not been
removed. People say, "What is the
matter?" You 80 up ilttle closer,
and you see written on the card Of that
window, ''Closed on account Of the
death Of one Of the firm" That day
all through the circles of business there
is talk about how good man has gone.
Boards of trade pass resolutions of S, N
pathy, and churches of Christ pay,
''Help, Lord, for the godly man
ceaseth. He has made his last bar
gain, he has suffered his last loss, he
has ached with the last fatigue. His
children will get the result of his in
dustry, or, if through misfortune there
be no dollars left, they will have an
estate Of prayer and Christian example
which will be everlasting. Heavenly
rewards for earthly discipline. There
''the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest" "

The Change VIII Take Effect on Sep
tember4

The United States government Will
after September 4th issue new form
of money order which will be used to
gradually supplant the style Of order
now in vogue. The new form is smaller
than the old, being in the shape Of a
bank check. There will be stub re-
ceipt for the remitter, and a manifold
copy will be sent to the Office upon
which the order is drawn as notifca-
ton and to prevent fraud. On the
back of the order space has been pro,
vided for the stamps Of banks through
which it may be passed for collection.
In color the order is blue, having
light blue ground, with fine, closely in
terlaced, tinted lines Of geometrical
lathe-work, of darker shade. In the
centre is an ,escutcheon bearing the
words, postal money order, in shaded
capital letters Of the same two tints Of
blue. The tint Of the order and lathe
work will serve to prevenS limitations;
but as an additional safeguard against
counterfeiting, a horizontal water-mark,
composed Of the initials, =. S. NJ. o.,
in broad, capital letters, has been
wrought into the paper on which the
new forms are printed.
Through the process mentioned (the
carbon, or manifold process) the order
and the advices are produced simulta-
neously. By the same operation the
essential particulars Of name Of payee,
date, amount and place of payment, as
written in the order, are duplicated, or
reproduced, and made to appear IL the
advice precisely in the order. The liza
bility to mistake is thus greatly lessen
ed, and saving of time effected. Dis
crepancies between order and advice,
which, by entailing additional CORE
spondence and causing delay in pay
ment, have heretofore been source os
annoyance to the department and post
masters, as we'll as to remitters and pay
ers, are prevented, and absolute uni.
formity between the order and advice
insured. The dispatch of advices,
which hitherto have not been made out
and until after issue Of the orders, Will
also be accelerated.
The receipt, which is to he furnished
by the issuing postmaster to the remit
ter, showing the number and date of
the order and the amount for which is
sued, is also, in the main, a reproduc-
ton by the carbon process Of the writ
ing and stamping on the order, hence
must necessarily agree Herewith.
The adoption Of a receipt has not
hitherto been practicable. 1t will tend
to popular;ze the postal money order,
supplying more than all else what was
needed to make it, in the estimation
of the public, perfectly satisfactory
vehicle for the transmission Of small
sums.
The postal money order system, from
small beginning in 1864, when the
number of money order oostohces es-
tablished in the United States was 419,
has grown to be one of the great in
dispensable agencies of exchange.
There are now about 30, 900 such Offices.
The number of domestic money orders
issued in the United States during the
past year Was over 30, 000,0 900 amount
ing in value to s240, ,0O0,0 900.

Large Yields of Grain.

Before the pyramids we're built there
we're no doubt grain raising contests on
the banks Of the Nile. Whereverthere
are energetic farmers they will try
their skill. The Atlanta Constitution
Of last Wednesday gives an account OF
a corn contest N Liberty county, Ca,
more than so years ago. In 1898 ff-
teen farmers in that county agreed to
put up 10 bushels Of corn each as a
premium to the one who raised the
largest crop on one acre. The South
ern Agriculturist, published in Charles
ton by Hen. Bartholomew R. Carroll
announced the decision of the commit
tee. DR.. William P. Mcconnell re-
ceived the premium, having raised SO
bushels 3 pecks and 3 quarts of corn
which was believed to be the largest
crop ever raised in the South up to
that date. He planted the yellow
gourd seed corn on beds feet apart,
two rows on each bed a foot apart.
There were $4,000 stalks on the acre.
Since that date the yield has been in
creased somewhat. The following are
some of the records:
