Loud cries of "Order. privilege"
and ..Mistah Chairman" from all over
the hall.
The Chairman finally recognizes
Delegate Jones.
Delegate Jones: mis- Chairman.

Brudder Jasper: .sMis' Chairman.
want dis yer convention to distinctly

open to 'mendment. Dat yer prayab

Prayers may not be amended,
especially when they enter into poll
tics, but all human actions are sub
iect to mutation. Sometimes these
changes are good and sometimes they
are not.
We have concluded, however, to
keep just two or three Of the old
interchangeable Hodge and Craver
headers on hand for those who
might get into fix, at harvest time,
and need one. The same with the
Champion and Woods binders, we
are going to keep one or two on hand
for those who might break down and
need one or might want to COM
mence earlier than with the header.
We want to save every bit of the
crop sowed this year We want to
see every farmer get all that he has
got in it, and we want to see him en-
Joy it and his family enjoy it. We
want to see him have a nice home
nicely fixed up 80 he can have his
neighbors come in and enjoy it with
him for we can not enjoy life, alto
gether, within ourselves.
Say, have you got the parlor or
bedroom fixed just as you want it;
have you got az much furniture in as
you want; have you got them papered
nicely. it don't cost very much; have
you got pictures on the wall; do you
need picture france?
Pictures are cheap. Pictures that
you used to pay $500 for, you can
now get for 81 90 and 81 so all nice
ly framed.
Think over, during harvest when
you are gathering in the golden grain,
how much you are going to put III the
house; how much you want to put ID
a carpet or rug; how you are going to
surprise the girls with new piano or
organ, how you are going to surprise
the boys with bran-new buggy, and
how are you going to surprise the
whole family with new two seated
carriage.
You might as well enjoy it now.
You know the old parable of the rich
man who tore down his barns aud
built larger ones to hoard up what he
had made, without enjoying it, and
how the command came to him
''Thou fool, this night thy life shall
be required af thee
Our agent may call to sell a piano,
organ or smaller musical instrument.
He understands music thoroughly; he
can play as good a piece on piano or
organ as most any one; he can tell
you all about them. and can also play
them. Don't turn him away but let
him play piece for you whether you
buy or not.
That girl of yours is now just the
right age to learn, if she is young,
for when she gets older che wont
care to because her playmates are
ahead of her, you have not given her
instructions early enough.
You know "tbe saddest wor9s
of tongue or pen, the saddest are
these, it might have BEEN" Don't
lie. your children say this of you,
81 might have bad more of an edu.
cation, more music more knowledge
in general if father and mother
would just have let me have chance
when could have done it"
Place within their reach good
books. They are cheap, and are the
best educators you can get, and the |
best friends for youth and old age
