LEAVING THE FARM.

This scarcity of labor on the farm
is offset by it's overabundance in the
cities and larger town, says the Cor
NTH Herald. In the latter there are
thousands of people wanting work.
Every vacancy is snapped up and men
are willing to work for almost any
wages, in this manner keeping down
the wages of those who are able to get
work. Men prefer to hang around
towns with the hope Of making a
precarious living, to going to the
country and being assured of steady
and remunerative work The ten
dency of the day is for men, es-
pecially young men, to abandon farm
life for that of the city and manufac-
turing towns. They seem to lose
sight of the fact that a successful
farmer is the most independent man
in the country. The man who owns
his own farm and makes his living
upon 1T is about the only absolutely
free and independent man in the
country-more so than the lawyer,
the physician or even the banker and
millionaire. His time is his own,
and he is not at the beck and call of
others, and he is free from the cares
and worry that surround them.
There is too much of a tendency these
days to look down upon the profession
of farming. 1t can be made profess
sion and is an honorable as any of the
others. The educated, thrifty, in
dustrious farmer is the backbone and
mainstay of this agricultural country,
says the Wilmington Messenger.
Within the past few years the pas
sing OF the younger generation from
the farm to the city has been very
materially decreased, and will be
less noticeable in the future. The
annual income of an intelligent AND
industrious farmer more than doubles
that OF his city brother, while the cost
of living is far less. Seventy five per
cent OF the city population barely
manage to make both ends meet,
while the Industrious farmer each
year adds to his holdings and grad
ually accumulates a respectable and
sufficient inheritance for his children.

that he wore a 'jaded'' look upon his
arrival indicates that the still small
voice of conscience had begun to be
heard in his ears. The changed
name, the aloofness of spirit and man
ner, the retitence on all subjects re-
lating to himself, the studious desire
to avoid association with persons
around him-all these presented un.
mistakable evidence that he was nurs-
ing a secret that must needs in the
end be revealed. The passing from
the village to the country that sing
ular longing Of criminal and sinful
human nature to be alone--to be
anywhere, anywhere out of the
world and was but another step in
the path that leads to self-destruction.
What must have been the thoughts of
this murderer as, there in the country,
he looked back upon the record of his
life and reflected upon the horrible
ness Of his crime! How, truly, must
his heart have been "preyed on by
a torment which it dared not ack-
nowledge to God or man.. - How the
curse of Cain must have smitten him
throughout those six weeks of life he
passed from the moment he left
Chicago to the hour when, in despera-
tion, he ended his life! And w1thal
what a warning does his example
sound to persons who may be tempted
to violate the law-human and d.
vine-"Thou shalt not kill -

The New Steel Ferry Boat ''Peli-
can" now under construction at the
Dubuque Iron Works for the Queen
and Crescent Route will be completed
and leave Dubuque about October 10Th,
and be in service between Vicksburg
and Delta about November 1st. This
is the largest, strongest, and every
way the best boat Of it's kind ever
built for operation on the Mississippi
river. 1t will fill long felt want
as the Delta, now in operation, is no
longer of sufficient capacity to proper
ly handle the growing traffic. The
Pelican is much larger and will doubt
less be ample to accommodate all the
business fer several years.
The passenger and freight traffic
through the Shreveport gateway has
grown to immense proportions, the
increase during the past two years
having been phenomenal. The estab-
lishment of the fast train and dining
car service has made the route very
popular.

INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATES

" OI0lAh CANDIDATES.
Mississippi has good list of candi.
dates for gubernatorial honors already
announced, and more are being added
to it nearly every week. The follow.
ing named gentlemen are avowed can

Hon. James T. Harrison, OF
Lowndes.
Judge F. A. Critz, of Clay.
Hon. J. K. Vardamnn, of Lefore.
Hon. E. +. Noel, of Holmes.
Hon. W. A. Nash, Of Oktibbeha.
A number of other prominent citi-

the gubernatorial nomination, .among
them:
Hon. A. A. Kincannon, of Lee.
Hon. A. @. May, of Simpson.
Hon. Writ Adams, of Kinds.
Hon. Hiram Henry, of Kinds.
Judge James H. Neville, of Har-
r1son.
The Lumberton Headblock. in
speaking of Judge Neville in connec-
ton with. the nomination, says:
"When the active campaign for
governorshlp comes fully on, it is prob
able that the force of public senti-
ment will bring new aspirants into
view.
I'VE think that south Mississippi,
in consideration of her great progress,
deepening seaports, and long absence
from the helm of state, is entitled to
her choice for governor.
No man in the state can reasonably
claim greater legal ability, sounder
patriotism or more modest pretentions
than Hon. J. HI. Neville. His career
as district attorney, and his record as
judge must commend him very high

Nine cents a shovel for coal is

sore straits. One dollar day, the ia
theirs earnings, was barely enough TO
buy food alone, and their little son had
Just returned from the hospital where
he had been treated for pneumonia, an
illness brought on by living in unheat-
ed rooms because the family was too
poor to buy coal.
For fifty years it has been the GUS
tom of the Carleton & Hovey Co. OF
Lowell, Mass. to provide for all such
cases. where the applicant is properly
recommended, by furnishing Father
Johns Medicine without charge. and
with the cooperation of those whose
duty il is to watch out for the needy,
much suffering may be prevented by
the extension of this work, which the
Carleton & Hovey Co. generously offer
to do.
This charitable and humane custom
originated soon after the Eminent
Specialist prescribed Father Johns
Medicine for the late Rev. Father John
O'Brien of Lowell. Mass. by whom il
was recommended and from whom it
derived it's name. In his watchfulness
over the poor, Father John. as he was
called by his parishioners and friends,
found many sufferers unable to buy
medicine. In such cases he would call
at the old drug store of Carleton d
dovey for a bottle of the medicine that
the people had named for him, explain
ing that it was for charity and that he
hoped no charge would be made. His
REQUESTS were always granted. and as
result many weak and sick were re-
stored to health and strength. Since
that day the work has been continued
and extended, the medicine being sent
free 10 many charitable institutions
throughout the country, and always
supplied to the needy in individual
cases as offered above. This old rem
edy is invaluable as a body builder
also for colds. coughs and all throat
and lung troubles. 1t prevents pneu-
monia aud consumption. 1t is not a
patent medicine. and is free from
