was very careful about calling upon
the president. He first saw Lincoln
when he preached at little town in

Mr.. Lincoln was at the service, and
at it's conclusion came forward and

coin invited the minister to his homo.
where he was entertained at dinner.
Bishop Bowman did not see Lincoln
again until he met him at Washington,
the head of the nation.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER

Oh! Christmas days OF long ago,
Can you not give one day TO me,
One Of your merry number back
Just as it used to be?
'Tis but little time to spare
From all the long gone past,
That once was mine and now Il yours,
one day too sweet to last.
You would not miss it from your
store,
While I--ahl words are vain
And when the evening comes, you
know,
III give 1t back again.
I've given you SO much, oh. Past,
My life, my love, and all beside,
Yet when ! ask this simple boon
/ find myself denied;
II would not rob a single heart
To have mine happy, too,
To have the Christmas Day come in
Just as it used to do.
Then why not grant my childish wish?
Let me forget I'm grown
Alasl the past comes back again
In memory alone.

act have quite a fondness for one an
other. Naturally, as new members,
they were thrown in each others so
ciety. In that congress they had little
to do save to sit back and watch the
wheels so round, So engrossed with
themselves and the business of the
house were the older members that they
paid little attention to these new men,
who sort of fioeked by themselves.
But they are no longer the men who
were merely onlookers. One of them,
Williams, is the minority leader; an

The Agricultural Outlook.

The farmers in all sections of the
state are making good headway with
the planting of the cotton crop, and
before the end OF the week goodly
portion OF the acreage will be in the
ground. Although much complaint
is being made of the excessive rains
and continued cool nights. compari-
son with former years shows that the
planting season is fully three weeks
earlier than usual
A most gratifying feature of the
farming preparations in Mississippi
this year is the large corn acreage
From all sections of the State comes
the report that corn is coming up 10
good stand. In many places II Is now
ready for the first working.
There has been great deal of talk
of an increased cotton acreage. but
the preparations thus far made do not
indicate that the acreage will be any
greater than that Of last year. and In
some sections II will be considerably
less This is particularly true of the
large plantations in the Delta, where
there is dearth Of farm labor scarce
ly equaled in the history of the coun-
try.
