He spoke of the slavery situation and the manner in which 1t was dealt with. Jefferson Davis might have had many who differed with him in regard to his policy. said Mir. Frazer. but to the unprejudiced mind. to the seeker after truth. the President of the Confectionery was undoubtedly one of the truest types of statesmen and pat riot that the world had ever produced. Before he closed Mfr. Frazer spoke of the wife, the mother in the history of the Confederacy, and of some of the hardest battles that were fought far from the battlefield. His remarks were pecu- liarly tender and beautiful. and the ap- plause which followed the climax of his speech was of . most complimentary nature.
 Prof. T. c. Galloway rendered a piano solo dedicated to the Daughters of the Confederacy.
 Miss Clements next entertained the au- dience with a recitation in negro dialect.
 The last number was . plano solo Charity. tEilenberO rendered by Miss Kate Birch.

 would not have her wedding postponed in order that he might be present. :" The Yedding has been set for the tenth of June," she said, when Senator Hanna urged her to change the date to suit the Presidents convenience. It can- not be postponed. I am sure if MT. Roosevelt understands this. he will ar-
 range to reach Cleveland by that time.' Senator Hanna wired the President what his daughter had said. and the Presidents plans were changed. Senator Hanna after the dificulties in the way of postponement of the con vention were explained. agreed to have the wedding one week later, and tele- graphed his daughter why 1t had been necessary to do so.

FARMING AND PROFIT.

Whether you use fertilizer or not,
all depends upon how much profit you
want to make out of your crops as it
is an established fact that in order
to secure the largest posi- bic yield, the
crops must be properly fortified, and
whether you use Bradley's Fertiliz-
ers or not depends upon whether you
want to use the best and most eco
nomical. This is an established fact.
for Bradley's has been considered by
the more prosperous farmers as the
only high grade fertilizer that absolute
ly insures the largest possible yield,
and thus the largest possible product.
This is not a new product; the name
Bradley has been favorably known for
quarter century, and it is used the
world over as the standard for COM
parison. We advise our readers to try
Bradley's fertilizers and thus save the
expense of experimenting with un-
known brands. Bradley's is for sale
most everywhere, and if you will
write to the Bradley Fertilizer Works,
Boston, Mass. you will receive full
information about their various brands
of fertilizers.
