Cotton is bringing a fairly satisfactory
price at present, and owners of the sta
pie are glad of it. nevertheless the rec
ords show that il has been very much
higher than it is now. AZ one time dur
ing the year 1864 cotton was worth in
the New York market $1.9o per pound and
and the lowest price touched that year
was 72 cents. The scarcity was, of
course, caused by the war then in prog
ress. For several years after the war
cotton prices were quite stiff, the price
being better than p cents in 1873.

the year 1899, which has just been
completed by Auditor Tompkins,
from returns made to him by the
assessors Of the county, is not as
complete and accurate as it might
be had the assessors paid particu-
lar attention to the returns called
for by the blanks furnished them.
AS a result of these incomplete re-
turns the county auditor has been
obliged to estimate quite number
of items for the different towns,
and the tables published below are
not to be taken as accurate returns,
but are based on returns made and
on estimates made by Mr.. Tompkins,
after careful inquiries and compari-
sons with previous years.
Only two towns reported on beans.
Charlestown reported 10 acres from
which 40 bushels of beans were
secured. New Avon reported six
acres from which 80 bushels were
secured Only one town made a re-
port on sugar cane. and it is posi-
bic that this is the only town grow
ing cane in the county. This town
was Swedes Forest. One or more
farmers had in two acres and it
yielded him 100 gallons of sorghum.
Other products, aside from those
given below. amounted to 25 acres.
Fifteen towns reported on timothy
seed, and their reports aggregated
/, 151 bushels raised. New Avon
was the largest producer of these
fifteen towns, on this seed, her
share being 300 bushels, Granite
Rock coming next with 1877 bushels,
Willow Lake next with 176 bushels,
and the other towns stringing along
with yields below 100 bushels.
There were 6,467 apple trees
growing in the county last year,
1,449 bearing fruit and yielding
57S bushels of apples. This yield
does not include the apples grown
in this city or in the villages of the
county, Twelve grape vines are
reported, two in Delhi and ten in
Willow Lake, the latter producing
ten pounds of grapes.
The sheep sheared in the fall
numbered 65l, producing 3,42t
pounds Of wool. These sheep were
located in Delhi, Gales, Shutdown,
Swedes Forest, Vail and Westline.
The sheep sheared in the spring Of
this year amounted to 5,617, and
they produced 29,564 pounds OF
wool. Every town in the county is
represented in the spring shearing.
Fifty pounds of cheese were man
ufactured last year. There were
69 hives Of bees reported, produc-
ing 1850 pounds of honey Again
the city and village hives and prod
uct are not reported. Delhi is Civ
en- IA hives, producing $50 pounds
of honey, Homer 81 hives, produc-
ing 500 pounds, and Willow Lake

sacred ground of friendship, even when
one is indebted to the other for his

him from selfishness. And Mr.. Winter

just exactly how much that verse
meant. But preach on it 1 must and
will"
And when the first Sunday of the
month came Philip did preach on 1t,
to the dismay of several members of
his church who We're in the habit of
giving entertainments and card par
ties on somewhat elaborate scale.
He had never preached on the sub
ject of amusements, and he stated that
he wished it to be plainly understood
that he was not preaching on the sub
ject now. 1t was question which
went deeper than that and took hold
of the very first principles of human
society. A single passage in the SER
mon will show the drift of it all:
I'VE have reached time in the his
tory of the world when it is the Chris
tian duty of every man who calls
himself disciple of the Master to live
on simpler, less eXtravagant basis.
The world has been living beyond its
means. Modern civilization has been
eXorbitant in its demands, and every
suffering for some one who ought to
be relieved by that money wisely ex-
pended. An entertainment given by
people of means to other people of
means in these hard times, in which
money is layished on flowers, food and
dress, is, in my opinion, an act Of which
Christ would not approve. l do not
mean to say that he would object to
the pleasure which flowers, food and
| dress will give, but he would say that
1t is an unnecessary enjoyment and
| expense at this particular crisis
through which we are passing. He
| would say that money and time should
| be given where people more in need
| of them might have the benefit. He
would say that when a town is in the
situation of ours today it is not time
for any selfish use for any material
blessing.
modern Christ, if he were here he
| would preach to the whole world the
| necessity of a far simpler, less expen-
sive style of living and, above all, ac-
| tual self denial on the part of society
| for the brotherhood of man. What is
society doing now? What sacrifice Is
it making? When it gives a charity
ball, does it not spend twice as much
in getting up the entertainment to
please itself as it makes for the poor
in whose behalf the ball is given? Do
you think 1 am severe? Ask yourself,
o member of Calvary church, what
has been the extent of your sacrifice
for the world this year before you con-
denim me for being too strict or par
ticular. 1t is because we live in such
times that the law of service presses
upon US with greater insistence than
ever. And now more than during any
of the ages gone Christ's words ring In
our ears with 20 centuries of reverber-
alton, 'Whosoever will not deny him
self and take up his cross, he cannot
be my disciple"
