MIR. W'Millin.

Geo. McMillin's retirement
from the senatorial contest has
elected favorable comments
from various sections of the
state. The general sediment
seems to be that the dignified
manner in which the ex-Gover-
nor conducted his campaign,
coupled with his retirement to
rid the legislative contest in a
number of counties of complica-
tions calculated to inflict injury
on the Democratic party, is in
keeping with his record as a

an example of the survival of
the fttest.
Before marriage women is
pensive, but after marriage she
is expensive.
A man seldom gains anything
by exchanging bachelor quarters
for better halves.
A woman's idea of a personal
devil is a neighboring woman who
talks about her.
The longer a man is married
the less he lodges when his wife
throws at him.
No woman who thinks she is
homely will consent to- have her
picture taken in group.
There are two classes of women
in the world-those who are mar
ried and those who are willing
to be.
No girl ever loved a young man
so much that she didn't try to find
out what he paid for the engage
ment ring.
Nothing SO effectually takes
the conceit out Of shorthand
expert as an attempt to report a
meeting of female suffragists.

The moral sentiment is at last
beginning to sit up and take no
tice in Philadelphia. A young
woman was arrested for holding
her skirt in too altitudinous a
manner while crossing the street
during rainstorm. She was
reprimanded for her conduct by
the court in spite of the fact that
she showed two good reasons for
her action, not counting the
rain in it at all.-Memphis Scim-

The Speciality Farmer.

A speciality of some kind is a
good thing for any farmer. 1t
gives him a special interest in
his work. This is an age of
specialties. Life is too short and
things too complicated to learn
everything about every crop or
stock that one can raise. By
selecting one especially prom
ising thing-may this be straw
berries, plums, poultry or pigs
the subject can be studied up
in all its details and bearings,
and the greatest perfection in
that line can be reached. This
is and will be more profitable
than mediocrity in all lines.
The speciality, well followed, is
apt to give name and success.
