appropriation for an exhibit at
the worlds fair in 1904. Some
sections Of the South seem hard to
awaken to the fact that we are
soon to become the greatest Of all
the great sections Of the United
States, and that the sooner we
commence going after the things
which will make us great the bet
ter. There are other states also
which make the appropriations,
however, and then see them d.
verted to other uses. But this
will always be the case so long as
men find political farming more
profitable than tearing up the
ground for the raising Of cotton,
corn and peas. Alabama ought
to be represented, even il it costs
ten times as much as it comes to
during the run of the fair. The
future benefits will bring back all
the loss from stealings and leaka-
ges.
Very few people know what is
the matter with them, and the
doctors they call are as ignorant
as are the patients. The fact is
that there are more imaginary dis
eases than any other kind, and
the patent medicine man who stu
dies the art Of describing symp-
toms in order to find sale for his
preparation, is able to make many
sick people from thoseOnly needing
the nerve to eat q square meal, take
a good bath, or a walk around the
block. Did you ever think how
many more people there are who
die lying down than standing upf
The moral to this suggests that
you remain on your feet. When
you feel badly get out in the fresh
air and walk q spell. It won't
~endanger your health, and will
help your nerves amazingly. Try
it. No charge for this prescription.
A number Of Northern hOrtIcul-
turalists are trying to propagate an
orange that can be grown in the
colder sections of the country.
But it will be time and labor vast
ed, for the thing wouldn't be fit to
eat when ripened. There are Ger.
tain havOrs entering into various
articles Of food that are far more
sectional than can the American
people ever again become. For
instance the grass and grain grown
in this section will not produce
the same flavor in meats as will
the products Of the Western and
Northern fields. These favOrs
are not observed by persons thor
Oughly acclimated, but to those
who migrate from one section to
the other it Is marked strongly.
Better go ahead up there raising
corn, cattle, sheep, apples, Office
holders and hogs, and leave the
more deliCately favored fruits
adapted to and produced by the
topical climate follow the laws Of
nature. It is a fact also that the
South pays more for apples ship
ped to them from the North and
West than the North pays for
oranges, and we usually get the
cuttings at that.
Congressman DeArmOnd, of
Missouri, made 3 logical and
strong speech before the IrOnquOis
club Of Chicago on Jackson day,
in response to the toast Choking
to 1904" Entirely in variance to
the views, or rather the snarlings
of Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland,
the Missouri congressman made q
strong appeal to the members OF
the Democratic party to bury the
differences Of past controversies in
the party ranks, and urged q lin
ing up Of the forces Of the Demo
cratic party for the purpose Of
combating the hideOusness exhib-
tied by the Republicans, who
seem determined to run the cOun-
