We are sorry to chronicle the death Of
little Patton Blackjack, the youngest
son of Mr.. aud Mrs. A. ii. Blackjack, of
Whitwell, which occurred Wednesday,
Jan. 16, 1901, of complicated case of
whooping cough and smallpox. He
was born Jan. 10, 1900 He leaves a
father, mother and several sisters and
brothers to mourn his loss. He will be
grea ly missed by the parents and sur
viVing members OF the family. He was
a bright, lovely child having seen only
the flowers Of one summer His illness
was one OF a short duration. The writ
er visited the home of the heart-broken
parents in their sore trial and could say
to them Your loss is his infinite gain,
for Jesus said "Of such is tho kingdom
'of heaven. God in his wisdom has re-
called the bud, which no had intrusted
to their care, for some good cause. 1t
is always hard to part even with these
tenderness God has blessed US with

are left behind emulate the example oil
this pure one that they may join II in

As a time and public money consum-

Nashville is success. 1t cost the state
nearly thousand dollars to nominate n
Librarian, and over 81, 500 has been con
sumNd trying to nominate a Secretary
of State. -CleVeland Herald.
WE don't care a continental
whether it is a republican or a demo
cratic Legislature provided it does its
work correctly and promptly, but
looking at it from matter of econ
omy 1t does seem to us a high price
to pay for Librarian. If the
nomination of Secretary of State
should cost proportlonately. what a
bill there would be to pay. The
Legislature should have nothing to
do with electing anybody, anyway
1t is the right of the people, and in
a constitutional revision they should
demand that right.

REPREsENTATIvE Raulston has
introduced bill to allow the County
Court of Marion County to redistrict
the county from the four districts es-
tablished by the proceeding legisla-
ture, If it passes it will solve a
problem that has been discussed un-
til it is threadbare. The News has
Joined in the discussion also, and its
position on the question is too well
known for repetition. The way the
county was districted. if as a public
convenience has not proved to be OF
such great benefit, and if political re-
suits were expected, 50 far they have
not been seen. II this re. dstricting
is accomplished in logical and SEN
sible way, whether by the Legisla-
ture or the County Court, we shall
abandon the subject, However, in
order to avoid future controversy the
present legislature should finish the
work of the previous one, and de-
clare all laws previous to the late
enactment regarding Marion County
districts, repealed.
Such course is the only one Oh
which firm basis for legislation Oh
the subject can be secured.

CONVENIENT" SEEDS.

There is much agitation at Wash
ington over the annual distribution
of seeds by the Agricultural Depart
ment, the seed growers claiming a
loss to their business of over 81 ,2OO,-
600 by the practice.
The average gardener gives a
loud laugh when he reads of the
seedSmens' complaints, for he has
long since abandoned the idea of rals-
ing anything from Government seeds
as futile. No toothsome product
has ever been derived from them.
They are a misnorner deuaon,
snare, and, as we have said, he laughs
loud and long
The gentlemen who are leading
this opposition should remember
that their action is rsfexive, because
these seeds which have been so uni
versally condemned were furnished
to the government on contract, and
it was the fault of the contractors if
they were worthless But perhaps
the gentlemen aforesaid were not
in the fortunate number of those
who foistered the antlquated rem
nants of their seed bins on a chart
table government and perhaps jeal-
ousy has marked them for its own.
This question is an annual one,
but pending itR settlement the horn
ey-handed son of toll will continue
to dump into the apron of his thrifty
mate in the same old way that he
has done for years, these delusive edi-
tons of ancient seeds, and she, thrifty
soul, will plant them in the w&rmest
and best sheltered hooks of their
carefully prepared garden. She will
"shoO" the chickens away from
scratching them up, and sit up nights
with brush fires to keep the frost off,
or cover them with her best petit.
coat. Nor is it unusual for her tc
stop John in the midst of his pillow,
ing to fill a rabbit so full of lead that
it can't walk. And after this is all
over and they have had more trouble
over these seeds than when they had
twins, two or three sickly looking
sprouts of corn or peas, or whatever
the package was supposed to repre-
sent, will straggle up at intervals o
two or three yards, and about tb'
time the worthy couple have decided
to let them grow so as to have "ac
climated" seeds, mole gets trail o
this unparalleled prosperity, saunter
in like a policeman on duty, anc
in one night plows furrow that an
initiates everything.
These are the joys and sorrows o
agricultural" seeds. What tn
farmer says and his better half think
are naughty, and will not bear publ
cation, but if you wish to hear gen
uine oratory listen behind the fenc
