Close Of the Short Course.

The short course in agriculture at
the University of Tennessee closed last
week, and it will be gratifying to those
interested in the education of the boys
from the rural districts, to know that
thirty eight of them availed themselves
of the privilege this course presents to
those desiring to obtain the latest and
best information about farming. These
boys did not come from any one section
of the state, which shows the wide
spread interest in the improved meth
DDS of agriculture. Each one of these
young men has gone home filled with
enthusiasm and a determination to
make the farm what it should be, and
to be light and inspiration to the
community in which he lives. 1t is
encouraging to know that the number
has grown in four years from twelve
to thirty eight, and the principal reason
why one hundred boys did not take the
course was due to the efforts of the
"doubting Thomases," who seem tc
think it is their duty to discourage
every young man who proposes to in
form himself about agriculture. These
people are driving the young men from
the farms and causing them to emigratC
from Tennessee to seek homes in othe
states. What an amount of mischief |
little ignorance can do If they coul(
come in contact with the young mel
who have taken q short course and se
the transformation it works in them
they would be the most ardent advo
Gates of agricultural education. Th
man who knows nothing of shor
course in agriculture, or the benefi
and inspiration it will be to the younj
men of Tennessee, should at least kee
quiet until be has fully informed him
self on the subject. II you can no
assist in building up, do not tear dow
and destroy the honest effort othe
people are making to improve the con
dition of farming and to bring tha
pleasure and profit to the busines
which education alone can give.

Ghost is the teacher and they reject
him. Now, as Jepnes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist
the truth. Evil men and seducers are
to wax worse and worse, deceiving and

are to be his witnesses to testify to his
saving power. God counts none but
those who have been saved by grace
divine, but every creed counts every

ed on these truths every day the wide

Christ before his coming, as the word
teaches just to the contrary. Christ
tells his deciples of the destruction of
the temple and of his coming. He
says, ''Many false prophets shall rise
and deceive many, and because iniqui-
ty shall abound the love of many shall
wax cold. But he that shall endure
unto the end the same shall be saved" ="

Are there not ten to deny the power of
the Holy Ghost to where there is one

Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor
ence Chandler and a member of we'll
known southern family, was married
July 81, 1881, in st. James church, Pic
adilly, to James Maybrick, of Liver
pool. She was then II years old. Her
husband was over 40 years old. In the
spring of 1889 Mr.. Mayhrick became i'll
and in few days he died. His broth
ers investigated his death and charged
Mrs. Maybrick with the murder of her
husband. A long trial followed and
number of doctors swore Mr.. Maybrick
died of arsenical poisoning. The de-
fense proved that for twenty years Mr..
Maybrick had been confirmed arsenic
eater and that he daily took doses that
would have killed a dozen ordinary
men. Mrs. Maybrick was eventually
sentenced to death by the judge, Sir
FitZjames Stephen, who spoke two
days in charging the jury and who said
it was impossible for them to find her
guilty in the face of the medical evi-
dence. He died some time later in a
mad house. From the time of Mrs.
Maybrick's conviction her mother, the
Baroness Won Roques, has been unre-
mitting in her attempts to obtain the
prisoners release, in which she has
been aided by influential friends on
both sides of the Atlantic. In 1900, af-
ter the death OF Lord Russell, of Killo-
wen, chief justice Of England, letter
written by him to Mrs. Maybrick in
1895 was discovered 1t showed that
the eminent lawyer was convinced that
she ought never to have been convicted
and it has been generally understood
that all the recent American ambassa-
doris to the court of st. James have
done everything possible to obtain Mrs.
Maybrick's pardon. Had she not been
able to testify in the suits pending in
the United States Mrs. Maybrick and
her mother would have lost all title and
interest in large tracts of land situated
in Kentucky, Virginia and West Vir'
ginia.

was convicted at Liverpool in 1889 on
the charge of poisoning her husband,
James MaYbrick, by arsenic, and whose
sentence of death was commuted to Pc

in 1904. The announcement comes
from the home Office, which now au-

the fact of her release next year as a
reason for securing the postponement
of the trial of the lawsuits bearing on
