TO UTILIZE WASTE LANDS.

From .ha Planters Journal
 Land, on many southern farms, is about the only surplus the farmer possesses This really Is a hindrance. Every un- utilized space is a breeding spot for weeds. It would be better to sell the sur plus land and put the rest in active oper- ation as a source of revenue. But if the owner of broad acres Is loath to eurtail his holdings he might, or perhaps would Is the better word. find 1t profitable to convert the surplus acreage into a sheep pasture, or if he prefers some other line of live stock. he might adopt it.
 The idea sought to be conveyed Is that the rearing of live stock is a profitable industry for owners of more land than they properly and profitably eulti- vate. The Planters Journal is prepared to go step further and to assert that the live stock industry, if rightly managed. can be made profitable on nearly all southern cotton plantations. This sugges- ton opens up very wide field for dis cussion and we would like very much for some one or more of our readers to take it up and give to others, through our columns. the benefit of their convictions.

people think it was only concurrence
He says he was recently called TO ne"
pastorate and had exhausted all hls
ready means. It was getting late In the
autumn and was cold. His supply OF
wood was nearly exhausted, and he had
not enough to go over the oaDoa.n'
This want troubled him SO much dur
ing the week that he could not prepare
his usual sermon. (He had never tried
to prepare two sermons IN a week out

valuable.) On Saturday afternoon ne

could get a load of wood to last over
the Sabbath, for he had a family and
could not 20 over the Sabbath without
wood. He thought he would try ana
borrow five dollars from his Deacon
who lived on a farm few miles In the
country, and came into the village
every Saturday afternoon.
When he reached the village he went
into the drug store of one OF his MEM
bers and asked the privilege to write
a note to the deacon. Stepping benino
a desk he took q sheet of note paper anu
began to write. He got as far as to say:

around the desk with a five-dollar bill
in it, and he heard q voice that said to
him: '"Take that; l have heard you
preach" The voice came from q man
who stood behind the desk. not a mem

a dollar before. The pastors eyes filled
with tears. and 1t seemed like the Lord.
He was thrilled all over. He caught his
breath and managed to thank the gen.
tleman.
AS he opened the front door he saw
a load of wood standing on the street
near the door. He stepped up to the
wagon and asked the man who drove 1t
If the wood was for sale. The man re-
piled that it was, SO he bought the wood
and got onto the wagon, as the man
asked him to do, and the next Sabbath
his family was comfortable. He says he
did not need any notes to preach the
next Sabbath, for his heart was so full
that he preached extemporaneously with
great liberty, and some of his members
came to him after the sermon and asked
how he preached so effectively. He re-
piled that "the Lord had visited him. -

pickets and everything wore Sabbath

Coryell had nothing to do and was

the question. Finally handsome
young officer from the confederate side
strolled out between the lines. Coryell
hailed him at once:

my lines?"
Come along. I'll treat you right
How do 1 know that I'll not be taken

Coryell thought a moment and then
decided to make the venture. He laid
aside his sword and belt and started
