out such day, but when we come

ly belonging to Sinner will be
drawn off to other towns on these
days, it behooves the business men
of Sinner to do something to pro-
tect themselves and keep their
trade at home. Business has al

count Of carelessnesa Of our bust
ness men in matters Of this sort.
Will not some one take the matter
in hand and work it up TO a sue

- ~ NftAN ='NH So
The secret is out and Sinner can
go on living just as if the riddle
had never been asked.
No it can't either. Sinner is not
going to be what it was before.
It's houses are going to be brighter;
its people a little more prosperous
They are going to have some Of
their money left to buy other
things with.
The answer to the riddle is this;
you can paint building with few
or gallone of Devoe Lead and Zinc
paint than with mixed paints, and
it will wear several times as long
as building painted with lead and
oil mixed by hand. There's proof
abundant of it all over the United
States. There will soon be proof
abundant of it in Sinner.
What will people do with the
rest Of their money!

A great many of the new spring sleeves
will be sheared off at the elbow. They
will be cut off and finished in bell shape
quite haring, with the edges finished
with little floral applications and with
small frills of lace and with all sorts Of
pretty trimmings. This sort of elbow
sleeve will be a feature, not only of the
evening gown, but Of the gown for day
and for street at that.
But the elbow sleeve of 1904 will be
quite different from the elbow sleeve of
1902 and 1903, for it will have its full
lace under sleeve which will lengthen
the sleeve and bring it down to wrist
length. The undersleeves will be made
at the wrist, will not be droopy sleeves.

And speaking Of puflness reminds one
that the new sleeves, while very full

On the contrary they will be puffed
sleeves with the putting made as stiff
as possible. Instead of sagging from the
elbow to the wrist and down over the
hands, the new sleeves will be wonder
fully ballooned and kept in place by the

LOOK AFTER THE TERRACES.
Before Beginning to Pillow For This
Years Crop Look Well to
the Terraces.

Now is the time to look after your
terraces. Before you begin to pillow for
the new years crops, see Chat all OF
your terraces alc IL p orer shape. II
you! fields bave never been terraced,
Of course You should see that they are
before you plant another crop. II they
have been and you find that the water
breaks ever at any point, now is the
time to re-adjust.
TIE idea of the terrace is not to hold
water after it has collected. That Is a
great mistake. The terrace Is intend
ed to prevent the water from collecting.
If all the blowing is done on a level,
and the sell Is plowed deep enough,
there will he no collection of water.
TIE terrace should be used as a guide
to plow by. AS such it should run as
nearly level as possible. There should
be no fall anywhere, on either way.
Remember that level means level. not
a slight fall.
If all the soil and all the trash or
grass is thrown right across the path
of the water, it will greatly help to
prevent any start to wash. If the soil
is broken through the hardp5n it will
hold all ordinary rains. When an ex-
tracrdinary amount of water falls it
will lie kept distributed over all the
field, and can do no washing. We have
seen water run out of the field in sheets
a hundred yards wide and clear enough
to drink, This did not wash at all. 1t

TWO KINDS OF LAW.
One for Lnw-Abiding Citizens and
the other Gencrous-Splrlted
N~eighbors.

Georgia has a law intended TO induce stock
owners TO keep their animals in their own
fields, says the Atlanta Constitution. When
a farmer finds his neighbor's cattle in his
corn, instead Of sending them to the pound
or shooting them, he puts them in his own
corral, and when the owner comes for them,
charges him 81 cents a head to pay for the
trespass.

discussion two neighbors were very violent,

SUCCESS ON THF A R
A Number OF Suggestions which
II Needed Would Tend 10 the
General Success.

Success is what every farmer wants,
and the following rules will contribute
UNNECESSARILY towards bringing 1t.
Have a place for everything and keep
everything in its place. When done
using any tool or implement deposit 1t
promptly in the place where it be-
longs. Study and plan to have as many
convenieuces around as possible, EX-
ercise sociability and that with the
neighbors, so that when help Is need
ed 1t will be cheerfully rendered. Re-
member when anything needs fixing
1t should he attended to promptly. For
instance, when tho carriage wheels
need packing, pack them Mt once. Pack
ing is cheaper than boxing on axles.
Repair promptly all broken harness,
straps, snaps, cockeyes, buckles and es-
p~ecially the long lines OF double teams
when weak and likely to be torn apart
when least expected. Never run any
kind OF machine a moment unless all
bolts and bolt heads are In proper
place. Keep all axles ard other parts
needing olling well oiled on time. Take
up every broken plank in the barn
floor and every one that is weak and
likely TO break and replace 1t with a
sound one. Contract no debts OF any
size unless you know beforehand
where the money is to be secured to
pay it when due. Even then 1t would
be best. as a rule, moi TO make the debt.
Be scrupulously prompt in everything.
Never postpone anything until to-
morrow that should be attended to to-
day. Finally, keep in nina the ideas
and act upon them, that to get along
well. to carve wi success, to get the
most out of life, a good understanding
of the sound theories ana practices I'M
DERIVING a business. trade, calling or
profession are essential, if the greatest
measure of success Is to be hoped for.

4 friend from whom | was buying

SCI for some yearlings. Now this was
no fancy figure by any means, nor
we're they more than ordinary mules,
but the beauty about it was that they
cost less than half that about ten
months before. We don't often buy
stock on which we can double our
money every II months; especially
when at so little outlay for feed, yet
many are the cases where such has
been done with young mules. You
say. there is a feed bill to be consid-

sweet. In this community such feed
can be had for the cutting, something
like sever cents per 1Gx16 hill shocks;
very cheap and desirable feed when
properly cured. The secret Of this

Winter Work on the Farm.

There are farmers who think thai
winter was made for rest only, and
accordingly, they do not do any work
except feed their few head Of work
stock, milk a COW and probably cut q
little wood. The remainder of the
time is spent behind the stove. On the
other hand there are farmers who are
working as nard In winter as in sum-
mer. They care for a large number oil
stock and devote the rest of their time
TO day work for neighbors, or saw
mills, Or cutting wood. As the crops

The honest, earnest, straightforward

such testimony is worth more than a
