The Tale of A Dollar.

Once there was a farmer who lived
and had his being near Falmouth,
KY. Ten years ago he put an x mark
on a nice, new silver dollar, and
journeyed to town, where he spent it
with a merchant. During the year
he received it again in exchange for
farm produce and once more sent it
upon its mission by spending it with
a local merchant. Full half dozen
times did he receive it during six
years, often hearing of it in the
pockets of a neighbor. Sometimes it
had assisted in paying doctors bill,
again it had contributed toward the
maintenance of good roads, good
schools, the church and public inn
provements. Four years ago, as the
story goes, he again got hold of the
dollar, and about the same time he
received a big. fat catalogue from
Chicago mail order house that has
acquired millions by selling third
rate goods at first-rate prices. Act
/ ing on the theory that a sucker is
born every minute, they throw out
their line, baited with corpulent
catalogue, and soon there is nibble
at the hook. So, relapsing into par
able, we will say, sit came to pass
our Kentucky farmer swallowed hook
and line and made stagger at the
pole. The dollar marked " was sent
to Chicago for a buggy whose wheel:
didn't track, and which lad a TOP
with whiskers equal to the hirsuts
adornment of an Angora goat. He
has not seen the marked coin since
and never will till Gabriel blows his
trumpet. No more will it pay the
teacher, improve the roads, pay
taxes, help to build up the county, ol
brighten and bless the homes of hi
neighbors. 1t is as completely out o.
the circle of further acquaintanc,
with him as though ii had been DROP
ped in the Red Sea. He may As wei
sing a sad requiem to it's memory
for it has gone where the catalogue
fourisheth, and where the mail orde
houses are angling for suckers.
| Moral-Spend your dollars wher
iyou will get chance at them again
where they will help pay your taxes
educate your children and contribut
to the general good of the communit.
in which you live.

The principle we have always fol-
lowed is when hogs are ready to go,
to let them go. The higher the price
the more profit can be made in feed
ing heavy hogs, but we would not
think of growing hogs over go
pounds. unless we had no youngsters
coming on. We believe that when
hogs are four cents and under, the
proper weight at which to sell them
Is i75 pounds; when they are five
cents, 200 pounds, when they are six
cents. 225 pounds; and when they are
seven cents, 30 pounds.-Wallace's
Farmer.

Booker washington,s advice to HI

Booker Washington's advice to his
race was well condensed in a para
graph of a speech he recently deliv-
cred in Atlanta. He said: "Work,
work with yonr hands and put the
best that is in your head into the
work of your hands. Do it better
than any one else can do it. Buy your
own houses. Buy land. Have bank
account. Don't spend seven days at
a campmeeting when you ought to be
improving your farm. Learn how to
use your hands in such a way that nc
one can take your place. Be taxpay-
ers. You will have the best interests
of the community in your heart and
this much-mooted race question will
have been settled"
