The farmer doesn't have to solicit

have to enter into competition and
strive with his neighbor like the mer-
chant he doesn' have to wrangle and
warp the truth like lawyer; he
doesn't have to depend on donations
reluctantly doled out like many minis
ters; in fact he can be the most inde-
pendent man on Gods green earth If
he manages affairs ia business-like
manner. He has more time and equal
opportunities for improving the mind,
he has less allurements for .corrupting
his morals, and his occupation is con-
ductlve to the highest development of
his physical powers. He can be on in
Innate terms with his own family, at
peace with the world, and he can wor-
ship God under his own grape vine and
apple tree, none daring TO molest or

A prominent railroad man is the lat.

To the cigarette He is general
freight agent on large railroad and
employs many young men as clerks
tie has announced that in the future he
will not employ young men addicted 10
the cigarette habit, and further than
this he has expressed his intention OF
getting rid of all the cigarette fend4
now working in his department. He
gives the following as his reasons for
his decision: Among the 200 in my
service, thirty-two are cigarette fiends
10 per cent of the mistakes occurring
ln the Office are traceable To those
thirty-two smokers. They fall behind
with their work and when transferred
to other desks, which men who do not
smoke handle easily, they Immediately
get along just as badly, showing it is
not the amount of work but the inabll.
ity or incidence of the performer. The
smokers average two days of from
work month, while the non-smokers
average only half a dav in the sou.

the thirty-two young men are holding

OF Uncle Toms Cabin. The world-re.
nowned scenes between Uncle Tom and
Eva are well known and truthfully por-

is seldom that special scenery for every

such is the case with Cummings &

A Good MOVE by Oar business Men.
An arrangement has been entered
into whereby our grocery men will
close their places of business at eight
O'Clock In the evening, excepting on
Saturday nights and pay days. This
plan has been adopted in very many
cities and villages of the state and it il
good thing for this city to fall in line.
Shoppers will soon get accustomed to
the new time and it will work no hard
ship, while il gives breathing spell TO
the merchant and his clerks.
