farmer to succeed must have knowledge
and skill, accompanied with untirinG
zeal and perseverance. The farmer
who is not in love with his vocation
had better abandon it. He will never
rise above a common plodder. To OBJ
tain the most. with the least expendi
ture of mental and physical labor
should be the aim of all intelligent
agriculturists. There Is no better
way to accomplish this, than by profit
ing by the experience of those who
have made a success. Life is too
short for any one man to obtain a
comprehensive knowledge of the
various branches of farming by him
self alone. W. c. WelborD. Professor
of Agriculture in the Mississippi y. II
NJ. College, will conduct a Farmers
Institute at the Court House in Brook
haven on Wednesday, July 3lst.
The y. a NJ College is especially
we'll equipped for making experiments
and practical tests that will benefit
the farmers. The knowledge thus ac-
quired it offers to lay at our doors,
without any charge whatever. All that
is asked of the farmers of this county
is one days attendance. Can they
spend a day more profitably to them
selves? Farming and stockraising will
be as thoroughly treated by Prof.
Welborn as the limited time will al
low.
improvements along all industrial
lines are being made with rapid strides.
1t behooves the farmers to join the
procession, and keep step with the
march of events. :. p. @.

The American Medical Journal dis
cusses the pollution of streams by
sewerage and says biologists have
about come to the conclusion that nC
river is long enough to purify itself,
and argues in favor of irrigation and
fertilization of waste or farm lands
provided for that purpose. On the
other hand, it is asserted by a leading
authority in such matters that for a
distance of A miles above st. Louis
there is absolutely no trace of sewer
age in the waters of the Mississippi.
This, after special investigation. We

STEEL BRTDGEs FOR FRANKLIN.

STEEL BRIDGES FOR FRANKLIN.
Speaking of the advisabilty of the
building of four steel bridges in
Franklin county two across East
Fork and two across the Homochitto
river-at total cost of $4,000, Hon.
d. Q. Griffing, in an article in the
Franklin County Advocate, says:
"As to the advisability of the propo-
sition, just now we have, perhaps,
enough county funds on hand picked
up in the road, i. e., from railroad
back taxes, to defray expenses for a
year. At most a very nominal levy for
general county purposes this year
would be sufficient to supplement it
and the residue within the limit could
be levied for bridge purposes without
hurt. This would leave only portion
of the amount to be issued in bonds.
As we are likely to receive almost an
equal amount from railroad back taxes
next year, the same process could be
gone through and we would have our
bridges and never feel them. 1t is the
most propitious time we will ever have
to take the step. This is to say moth
ing of the fact that the taxes on the
increased value of the property in
the county alone, accrueing in ten
years, in consequence of the bridges
being built, would more than pay the
cost of the bridges What more could
be asked as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
proposition

Social Hints by J. X. vardaman

When young man calls on young
lady in the evening he should remem-
Der that it is not good form Tor a
young lady to receive all night. Eleven
o'clock is late enough.
y well-mannered gentleman will not
address a lady on the street without
removing his hat nor will he smoke
a cigarette, chew tobacco and spit
while talking to her, without her per
mission.
The young man and woman who
haven't enough sense to talk about
any thing except themselves, have no
business staying together very long.
The subject is so circumscribed that
it does not take long to get all over it.
The man who will speak disparag
ingly of young woman who has
shown her love for him by permitting
him to caress and kiss her is dirty
dog Even if detected in the act it is
his duty to lie, like a gentleman, about
it.
When see one of these diminutive
Drained, lustful Washers, standing on
the corner discussing the attractive
contour presented by the new styled
corsets, it shocks my faith in the chas-
tity of the great designers of fashion:
and makes me feel like splitting on the
lecherous little critic and drowning
him.
The loose and lusty manner with
which some of these little irresistible
society pimples grab hold of young
lady, when he starts off TO walk with
her, should be prohibited by the girl.
1t is vulgar and indecent and the lit
tie squirt who insists upon doing it,
deserves to have some of the hair
knocked off the skyward end of his
neck, with a baseball bat Too much
familiarity between the sexes, breeds
trouble if nothing else.
The woman in whose presence man
acts improperly should remember,
that for the second oTense, she alone
is responsible.
The reputation of woman is as
sensitive as the photographers plate.
The slightest breath of detraction will
blur it forever, and blast her future.
1t is regarded as sacred by all gentle
men. The man who does not SO re
gard it. has forfeited his right to live.
y good shot gun skillfully handled
is some times potent in promoting So
cial purity.
The woman who laughs all the time
and never thinks, may be popular, and
she is usually a fool.

Having been OH a journey to New

courtly fashion the general tells of
the way in which Southern people

trunks in those days could be dashed

conveyance. my father had his own
saddle horse. riding along with the
others. Being youth at school was
not allowed to take those trips. My
father thought them very pleasant
! Gentlemen then had much leisure, and

in travel. They stopped at the country
inns along the route, and to him the
/ journey to and fro was quite as enter
tanning as the season spent at the
springs.
