Temptations to Farmers.

"The price of cotton seed has
gone up from SIP to $15 per ton.
With cotton bringing about thir-
teen cents a pound aud seed fifteen
dollars ton. A bale of cotton will
tnrn out bout $1,000 for the farm
er." While the above is Tempt
ing bait for the farmer for 1904,
yet he should remember that corn,
bacon, lard, flour, and peas, are
all high too. IT he makes plenty
Of these then he can plant all spare
land in cotton.

JANUARY SALESDAY.
Cold Day-Small Crowd
Many Sales Made.

The first Monday in January
was a bitter cold day and for
this reason the crowd was not a
large one. The sheriff made a
few sales of real and personal
property at good prices. Mr.
David the auctioneer was busy
uli day selling horses, &c. The
horse traders were here in force
and trading was lively.
Owing to the severe weather
the exhibits of poultry and pigs
were few: Mr.. d A Covington
had some fine Buff Plymouth
Rocks Mr.. Moody some Blue
plymouth Rocks and the White
LeghornS and Mr.. Baxster Swan
some large Indian Games.
Ii The crowd was orderly and
lot one arrest was made. The
bunty treasurer was the busiest
Ian in town with taxpayers and
3very many paid the road tax,
which is now due.
The day passed without acci
dent or incident, and by dusk
the crowd had left, as snow be-
gan to fall.

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Gown Sachets.-How can sachets be in
serted in a dress skirt and what is the
popular scent? Jessie.
The latest fad for the scenting of the
skirt is to hang a dozen little fiat hearts
belt line underneath the skirt. Exqui-
site odors that suggest the colors of the
gown are again the fad. White orchid,
pink, violet and all the other scents
have their appropriate colors, and clever
modistes are furnishing hats, girdles and
gowns with their own subtle scent. AS
for the little choux at the back Of the
neck, they exhale fragrance, and they
are worn exclusively with the high Golf
fure, never with the low.

GOOD SENSE.

| We note that the preachers are be.
ginning to realize that appalling catas
trophies such as occurred in the Chlca.
go theatre fire, are nothing but buma r
misfortunes produced by unforeseen
circumstances. At the time of the
enormous disaster at Martinique, il
was repeatedly asserted by the pulpit
aud press that the fearful cataclasm
was the outcome of the wickedness and
corruption of the~.unfortunate popula-
tion. Such assertions of course only
found Judgement in the minds of the
credulous and ignorant, but neverthe-
less it is refreshing to read from a
clergyman The following works:
"Some unwise and morbid people
say, in speaking of the fire in the
Chicago theatre, $50 much for thea
lre-goiug." There are people who
are very generous in the distribution
Of Gods judgments, and, of course,
this disaster in the theatre is imme-
liately annexed in their minds to the
infraction Of Gods holy law. Now,
| want to say that the Lords thun-
derbolts are too heavy for us to ham
die. The argument that such men
make goes too far according to their
own reasoning. AT the very time that
that theatre was burned, there were
hundreds Of theatres in tins country,
containing thousands of people, and
there was no fire, snd all of them went
safely home. Ergo, going is
commendable. Now, reject such au
argument as that. 1t proves abso-
luteiy nothing. \ better lesson to
get from tue Chicago fire is this:
Death is no respector of persons.
Complete democracy of peril. Com
plete democracy Of graveyard.
Death is so dimsighted land so blum
der-footed that he staggers across
Administer tapestry as though it were
bare floor, and sees no difference
between the futtering rags of a
tatterdcmalion and a conqueros
gonfalon. Side by side we must all
come down.
