The South consents.
 Lovers of the Horse.
 From the beginning of history the in- tellectual titans of the earth have been lovers of the horse. The standard of the ancient Saxons was white horse, and 1t is preserved in the royal shield of the House of Hanover. Pluto was great admirer of fine horses. One of his horses, Abaster, Is frequently mentioned in his- tory. Ballos was 8 beautiful horse given by Neptune to Paleno. He afterwards passed to Achilles. The word means swift" Borak the horse which con veyed Mahomet to the Seventh Heaven, was mlk-white steed with wings of an eagle. The word Borak is Arabic and means "the lightning" Borak is de- seribed as "hne-limbed, high standing, strong in frame and with a coat as smooth and glossy as polished marble" Incitatus, the favorite horse of the Ro- man Caligula, was made priest and consul. He ate his food from an ivory manager and drank wine from golden pail. Bucephalus, the celebrated charger of Alexander was a horse of great intel ligence. He could only be mounted by his master, for whom he would kneel. Alexander built city for his mausoleum, which he caled Bucephala. Prenicos, the horse of Hiero of Syracuse, won the Olympic prize for single horses in the seventy-third Olympiad. Volodyovski, with Lester Reiff up won the English Derby at the beginning of this century so pregnant with promises of gigantic accomplishment. In Christian art the horse is always depicted as the emblem of courage and generosity, The wise men were grandly mounted. St. Martin, St. Maurice, St. George and St. Victor are all represented on horseback According to Virgil. horse shows were features of his day and era, and he records the fact that the first person to drive four-in-han was Ericthonius, who became an expert reinsman.
 Wagon Races.
 Thereswill come a time and at no dis tant day, when the gentlemen of Eng land, France, Germany, Italy and Ameri- ca will contest in wagon races for chal- lenge trophies as they do now with yachts and in athletics. And why not? The sport of racing with harness horses is of royal origin, and its adherents in- cluded, in ancient times, the scepter wielders of the great empires. Germany, Italy, Austria and France have secured some of our greatest trotting blood and have been fortunate in crossing it upon native animals. A few years more and they will be producing animals of the highest class. When that time comes, when they believe 1t has arrived. there will be opportunity of demonstrating the superiority of Americaen or European bred horses. MT. Walter Winans of Brighton was probably the first gentle man in England to drive an American

growers are going to get fine prices
for their cabbage and other veget-

are going to get good prices this

be holding back about planting
early. On account of the drOuth

other states, the cellars up there
are not going to be we'll stocked
with cabbage and other vegetables
this winter" Such being the case,
the Caller would advise early
planting this fall ChaS. II Tr0tt,
who is on the pipe line near town
has his beds of cabbage already
planted and the plants up. Well,
Mr.. TrOtt is one of the early birds.
He will be setting ont cabbage next
month. What every truck farmer
ought To do now, if he has not
done so already. is to get his land
in good condition to catch the fall
rains. This is very important
matter. Don't delay it.
