Of John G. Holland, the poet, be-

"God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy;
Men who possess opinions and will !;
Men who have honor; men who will
not lie;
M EN- who can stand before dema-
gogue
And damn his treacherous flattering
without winking;
Tall men, sun crowned, who live
above the fog
In private duty and in public think
ing.
For while the rabble with their
thumb worn creeds,
Their large profession and their little
deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, 10! Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting
Justice sleeps"

Weekly Crop Bulletin as Reported by the
u. S. Weather Bureau for the Week
Ending April 70, 1908.

Over the greater portion of the
state the past week has been unsea-
sonably cool with less than the aver
age amount of sunshine. Frost oc-
I Cured in many localities on the 18th
but no damage is reported. In por-
tions of the southern sections the
rainfall for the seven days ending
with Saturday ranged from | to over
inches, but elsewhere it was gen.
orally light. Showery weather pre-
vailed during Saturday night and
Sunday, however, and quite heavy
rains fell in some sections. Severe
local hail storms occurred in num-
Der of the southern counties on the
18th, and in portions of Ripley, Ore
gon, Butler and Douglas counties
much damage was done to fruit
trees, wheat, oats and gardens.
The cold cloudy weather has been
unfavorable for farming opera
tions, retarding the drying of the
soil, which remains cold and heavy,
and except in some of the northwest
ern counties, and in a few favored
localities in other sections, little
progress has been made with spring
work. Flowing for corn has been
pushed wherever the weather and
soil conditions would permit, but in
many of the central and northern
lxy haa -
been turned. In few of the south
ern counties considerable corn has
been planted, but as rule little
progress has been made with that
work. In few of the extreme
southern counties some corn is up,
but looks yellow as a result of the
cool weather. Cotton is we'll under
way on the uplands in the extreme
southeastern counties. Oat sowing
has progressed slowly in the central
and northern sections, and in many
counties is nearly completed, but in
some only small acreage has yet
been sown. In some of the northern
counties the acreage will probably
be considerably reduced owing to
the lateness of the season. The seed
is terminating we'll and oats that
are up are making fair progress.
Wheat continues in excellent condi-
tion as rule, and grasses have made
considerable growth Notwithstanding
the low temperature. Stock is now
being put on pasture in all sections.
Gardening and potato planting have
progressed slowly, and the growth
of vegetables, where up, has been
checked by the cool weather. Mel
ons are coming up well in Dunklin
county. Very little flax has been
sown during the week. Cherries,
plums and pears are in bloom in the
northern, and apples are in full bloom
in the central counties, and it is fear
ed that the cold winds and rains will
prevent proper fertilization. In some
localities in the central and northern
sections Seeding peaches are showing
many more blooms than was expect
ed. Strawberries continue very
promising.

A LOVING CUP.
Prof. Peter H. CIark's Many
Friends and Admirers
Remember Him.
A Solid Silver Loving Cup Presented Him
On the Seventy-Fourth Anniver.
sary of His Birth.

1t was beautiful sentiment that
prompted a number of ladies and
gentlemen to present to Prof. Peter
II. Clark solid silver Loving CUP
on the occasion of the seventy
fourth anniversary of his birth.
And it was a no less beautiful
function, responding to this senti-
ment, that took place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter M.
Farmer, 2724 Morgan street, Fri.
day evening, March 81.
The affair was a brilliant one,
for on the occasion was assembled
some of the most talented men and
women of the race. All present
seemed to realize that in showing
so marked an appreciation for
Prof. Peter H. Clark, they were
honoring one of the most eminent
and beloved men of the race.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farmer were as
sisted in receiving the guests by
the following ladies and gentle
men: Mesdames Ernestine Mes
bit, Ada Cole, Lizzie Kelly, T. A.
Curtis, Rosa Mansifee and Miss
Levenia Carter, and Messrs. James
w. Grant, R. H. Cole, Hutchins
Inge, John A. Kelly, E. A. Bou-
chet and DR.. W. P. Curtis.
An excellent program was pre-.
sented, consisting of Introductory
remarks by Mr.. Farmer, piano So
10 by Miss Maudella Brown, vocal
solo by Miss Mabel Wheeler, vocal
solo by Mrs. E. L. Harris. Prof.
r. II. Cole made an appropriate
presentation speech, at the end OF
which Mrs. Farmer presented to
Prof. Clark, on behalf of his many
admiring friends, the solid silver
Loving Cup.
Mr.. Clark was visibly affected
by this manifestation of love and
esteem. He gave a short sketch
of his useful and eventful life,
touching here and there on events
full of interest and inspiration to
the race. He thanked the friends
for so exquisite reminder of their
love and appreciation.
The Loving Cup was then filled
and each one present drank to the
health of "Our Distinguished
Guest" Light refreshments were
ved.-The American Eagle.

HIS PECULIAR POSITION.

The position which Col. Crisp
took regarding the "Jim Crow"
bill in the recent Legislature was a
peculiar one, when compared with
his former reputation as a member
of the Legislature. During the
administration of Prof. 1. E., Page
a president of Lincoln Institute, no
better friend to the negro could be
found among the members of the
legislature than Col. Crisp. He
was a great admirer of Page and
always exerted his energies to Sc.
cure liberal appropriation for Lin.
coin Institute. Several years ago
a bill was introduced in the legis.
lature providing for the separate
coaches for whites and blacks on

morning of fatty degeneration of
the heart. Col. Crisp seemed as
well as usual yesterday afternoon.
He was about town conversing with
friends, but before getting home
complained of not feeling we'll.
During the night he awakened and
told members of his family that he
was suffering from a smothering
sensation, trouble to which he
had been subject for many years.
After a time he seemed quieter.
When one of the family entered
his room at 3 o'clock he was found
to have passed away.
Col. Crisp was born sixty. six
years ago on the old Crisp home
stead near Chapel Hill, in Lafay.
cite county. He grew up on The
farm and attended the famous old
college at Chapel Hill, which was
the alma mater of many well-known
men. He graduated from this in
stitution and also from the state
university of Missouri. He early
began to take an active part in
public affairs, and when Missouri's
legislature met at Neosho he was
made secretary of the senate. He
served in the war of the rebellion
under Gen. Shelby in Prices
army. At the close of the war,
having decided to follow the pro-
fession of law, he came to Inde-
pendence, where he has lived ever
since. Soon after he located
in independence he was mar.
ried to Miss Anna Stone, u
daughter of the late N. B. Stone.
Mrs. Crisp survives her husband.
Their children are Mrs. Haverstick
of Philadelphia, Mrs. Gavene of
New York city, Miss Ruth Crisp,
now in Chicago, and two sons,
Napoleon B. and Greenville, who
live at home.
Col Crisp served as chairman of
the state fish commission under
Gov. Stone. He represented the
1st district of jackson county in
the house during the last session
of the legislature, which recently
adjourned; during which time he
gained considerable noteriety by
his efforts to have enacted what is
known as the "Jim Grow" Car
law in Missouri, and seemed much
more interested in the passage of
this bill than any other introduced
at the recent session during which
time he made many bitter speeches
against the negroes and declared
that he would not vote for an ad-
journment of the legislature until
such law had been enacted. A
mass meeting of colored citizens
was called to appear before the
legislature to urge upon members
to vote against the enactment of
such law. At this meeting Col.
Crisp presided and after listening
to the arguments of the distin-
guished negroes, he rose and an
nounced to them that it was his
intention to have such a law en-
acted and no power on earth could
stop him.

The Bacon Hog.

Chicago stock yards, says that for
bacon hogs it considers the Tam

hog raisers are not producing any
larger percentage of bacon hogs
than ten years ago, but admits that
there may be slight increase.
The trade calls for hogs of this
class at certain seasons, but the
demand is not steady one, and is
governed by the English markets.
