Scissoreo ano Otherwise
soliloquy Of the Conservative.

TO advertise or not; that is the question:
Whether It's better to let things go to ruin,
To see ones business slowly droop and die,
OR to rise up against this growing trouble
And advertising, end it To hustle, boom,
To rush. and by this rush to say we stop
The set back and the slow disintegration
We have been suffering. Twere an experience
Earnestly to be wished. To advertise
To rush-perchance to fail Ah there's the ruo;
For in that rushing life troubles may come,
When we have plunged into the business swim
MAY make us pause. There's dignity, -
There's ease and self-respect in the old way
For who would bear the contest and strife,
The competitions daily struggle, constant toll
Contact with the dread advertising man,
The insolence Of printers and the spurs
The age conservative must take from the upstart
youth,
When he might lean back in his office chair
In peace and quiet Who would the shackles
wear
But that the dread Of being left behind,
OF seeing business dwindle more and more,
Until there isn't any, rouses the will
And makes us throw away our lethargy
And advertise for custom far and wide.
Y Thus business doth make heroes Of us all;
And thus our native inbon resolution
Is strengthened, magnetized upheld,
And enterprises Of great pith and moment
Are carried forward to success each day
Under the spur of action

Fined For Bootlegglng.

A. Bell, once of Grand River, more
lately of Benton, and most lately OF
Kellerton, was brought to Mt. Ayr
Wednesday morning, having been ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Terrell the
night before at Bells home in Keller
ton on the charge of selling liquor. The
information was filed by Benton people
some time ago, when Bell was living at
Benton. He decamped from that town,
and later located in Kellerton to pursue
his calling. When brought here he
pleaded guilty, was fined $50 and costs
by Justice Lineburg, and put up his
team for security while he went for the
money. The officers learned that the
team was morgaged, and finally agreed
to take $40 and costs if Bell would
agree to leave the county.
At Kellerton the people give Bell a
hard name in many ways, and complain
that since he located there the business
men have been afflicted with counter
felt half dollars and quarters. Mt. Ayr

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
), Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. II you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination of
both tlesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first a
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gen
eral farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road in the South
than in any other section of
the Union.

II is a revenue that many nations

and a surplus hat but few nations

The service of this vast corporation
to the people of many states is tre-

bIne comments, that it could be of
incomparably more service, and prob
ably make even more money. by less
exacting charges, is the common be-
lief.

is so immense as to constantly tax
its great facilities, and its service is
being improved so that it will sool
rank among the very best.
The company has spent many mill
lions of dollars the past two years in
cutting out curves. improving grades,
and strengthening its roadbed. This
was for the purpose of meeting the re-
quirements of the Australian and orr
entail mails. The idea was to reduce
distance and quicken time of trans
portation; then these mails would be
taken across this country; and all the
connecting lines have taken steps ac-
cordingly, to make this the through
line for those mails.
The most conspicuous improvement
made to this end by the company has
been the roadbed across the northern
arms of the Salt Lake, known as the

distance, 321s degrees of curvature
and 1915 feet of vertical grade. That
means a saving of two hours time fol-
passenger trains. besides an immense
amount of energy. And what it saves
for passenger trains is out q small
matter compared with what 1t will
save on freights.

straight track, compared with the one
at present in use on the P~romontory,
with its heavy grades, many curves,

he wishes to know the weight of his
turnip crop while it is still in the
ground, which is sometimes a matter
OF Importance, a simple calculation
will give him the information.
1t is the custom In England to plant
turnips in ridges twenty-eight inches
apart; this makes ninety ridges to the
acre. The farmer selects a row where
the crop seems about the average and
pulls up all the turnips In a measured
yard of the row and weighs them.
Assuming that they weigh ten
pounds. @ simple calculation shows
that the crop averages a little more
than twenty-eight tons to the acre. If
they weigh eleven pounds, the average
will be about thirty-one tons to the
acre.

For these some loved ones wait;
