Talking about the needs of the
farmer, there is only one thing he
needs, and that is the price for his
products that goes in the pockets of
the SPECTATORS. He could then rise
above debts, and be the happiest,
most c%ontented man on the face of
the green earth.
Toby says he is in the notion to
rent land on the river next year, at
least a mile from the road, where he
will be unmolested by numerous
agents. For several days they have
been as thick out here as sand fd-
oilers in a warmer climate, and every
one has the very thing the farmer
needs.
Several of our young men are get
ting ready to turn out a mustache
and we would advise them to pre-
pare the seed bed thoroughly, and
be sure the sign is right, before they
try to get a stand. The earlier now
the better, as ii will stand winter
easier, and if it grows enough by
spring to escape the bud worms, it
will not require more than one stalk
to the hill and no top-dressing.

and Mrs. A. l.. Sasser, assisting Rev.
III. E. Trip in the protracted meet

worn fence. an the creek

Til the roses reddest petal was no reddCr

Back to ramble in the byways where the
wild Strawberries grew,
Back to hea. the blue jay quarrel and to
hear the Cat-bird call;
Back to push away ife's sorrows mongst

Where the nights came down like per-

Back to love the gnarly branches where we
children hung our swings:
Back to look down on the thistles that
were taller then than L.

morning glory clings,
See the smiling hills and valleys and the

Climb the hills and see the valleys where

But the shadow of the city. which had

And the crooked trees and gnarly where
we played just yesterday
Had been felied. and all the thickets
where the cat-bird used to cry
Had been cleared away forever and In

There were houses. houses, houses; and

Only few years ago women of fashion
were not only uncomfortably tight in the
waist and arms. but they wore stiff,
boned bodices as we'll as hard, armor-

weighty hats which could not fail to pro-
duce a headache, and spent hours while
a coiffeur screwed their hair into un-
compromising, small plaits or sausage
rolls.

ticle of wearing apparel compared with
the medley of materials put together in
any sort of fur garment this season. The
most delicate evening wraps of rose pet
ais and chiffon are trimmed with tails
and medallions of heavy furs, and the
heaviest fur collars for midwinter frosts
are edged with ruches of lace or bordered
with flowers OF lined with accordion
plated tulle.
Fur hats and neckties are already too
widely fashionable to be regarded as a
mere fad. They are and will be the final
smart touch on every morning tailor
gown, always combining from two to
four kinds of fur, and sometimes half
dozen materials. To be well dressed this
season one must have two or three fur or
fur trimmed hats and a fur necktie or
two, an Ascot or a four-inhand, showing
an extraordinary patchwork of materials,
from beads to laces.
Entire fur hats are not a novelty
Hence they are not so fashionable as hats
in which fur is combined with tulle or
jeweled embroidery, or, newest of all,
cloth of gold.

a swathed waistband of blue taffeta with
two fiat blue silk buttons. The sleeves
were rather simple-three stitched plaits

up with four little blue buttons and a tiny
cum of cream guipure. The collar, by the
way, was edged with a narrow silk
fringe.

Governments Revenues Are
Fdril Excess of the Cur
rent Expenses

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Secretary
Shaws policy of increasing Unite
States deposits in National banks is
forced upon him by the operation Of
the revenue laws and the Independent
treasury system. Never before in the
history of the United States has the
National treasury been in as strong
condition as it is at present. The cur
rent receipts are running ahead of
current expenditures at an average Of
about s1,000,000 a week and are con-
stantiy increasing the available cash
balance, which now stands at the un-
,. .eceuented figure of s239, $685. ,S79.
Strictly speaking, the balance s
much larger. for whenever any money
is credited to a United States dis
Dursing officer it is at once charged
out as a libility and is deducted from
the cash balance, though it may re-
main in the treasury for months.
There are thus charged out at the
pl esent time $62,91S.3O3 credi ed to
officers and s5,59S,344 cred
tied to the Postofiice department ac-
count to meet the current expendi-
lures Of the postal serice.
If these two items, which may be
described as balance set apart for
immediate needs, are added to the
available cash balance. as stated on the
books. they bring the total up to
