Company Would he Justified in Ad-
vancinR the stock to 20 Cents Fer
Share Right Now.

There are deals enough pending in the
United States right now to sell all the
balance of the stock of this company
twice over. The very minute the pipe
line to Kansas City is even over half way
completed the stock will sell readily at
50 cents per share. The assets back OF
this stock and the bright future ahead
would justify the company now in advanc-
ing the stock at least 20 cents per
share. When you secure the stock at s
cents you secure value received and then
some.

Table Manners.

Editor Hrdld. One Of your CORES
pondents recently criticised the rest
lessness and irritability Of a guest
waiting 90 be served at a hotel table.
! witnessed a more disgusting scene
recently at another hotel table. a
man, at least he had the appearance
of man, taking a meal on the Ameri-
can plan, proceeded 10 order the
earth When the meal had been
brought in it literally spread itself all
over the table. Chops, steaks. pies
and birds, eggs and things galore. The
enomlty Of the output must have so
shocked the "grabber" that his appe-
tite fled in dismay for he pinched at
each dish in turn and left them mutt
lated but i'm no wise destroyed. In
the effort To get the worth Of his mon
ey he displayed his bristles and sound
ed a grunt. ] ann persuaded that all
hotels should be run on the European
plan and let each man pay for what
he gets The temptation TO gorge"
up is too great. and when the human
hog appears on the scene il becomes
simply disgusting.

Poorly Clad.

Editor Haald. During an extern
sive tour of the state have been pain
fully impressed with the fact that a
great number of our people are poorly
clad. This is especially true Of half
grown colored boys who gather about
the depots. \ majority Of them are
ragged, dirty and repulsiye looking.
Ofcour,e they are notat work, have no
visible means Of support and should
be dealt with under the yagrant law.
But not only with the loafing, loung-
ing, lazy class, but with others cloth
ing is of most inferior sort. Oyercoats
are the exception, vests are often
wanting and under wear thin and cot
ton. What pity that people cannot
at least be comfortable, clean and de-
cent Millions are not necessary but
wholesome food and warm clothing
are 10 everything like desirable exis-
tence. ! sometimes wonder why the
policemen, generally to be found about
our depots, don't break up these dis
reputable depot gangs. The laws are
sufficient Enforce them.

The First Miracle.

Recently not only the Sunday
school children Of Famville, but OF
the Christian nations Of Earth studied
the first miracle wrought by the Christ
when on earth. The facts are familiar
to most men. There was a marriage
i'm Cana, 10 which not only the Master
but his motherand five ofhis followers
were invited.
Wine was served with the wedding
feast, and when the supply which had
been furnished by the host gave out,
the mother Of our Lord, appreciating
no doubt as Others did not his unlimit-
ed power, approached him with the
request that he would make more, and
so relieve the embarrassment Of the
host. His reply was somewhat in the
nature Of a rebuke, but without dis
cussing the matter further that mother
turned away perfectly satisfied that
her son would do a. she had asked
him.
so confident was she that she told
tho servants TO prepare the vessels for
the reception Of the wine she had ask
ed for. And the vessels were prepared
and they were filled with wine, bet
ter wine than the company had been
drinking before.
Why was this miracle wrought?
Why put on record2 And why taught
i'm our churches on astSunday2 There
are some people in Farmyille as well
As elsewhere who think il a sin To
drink wine a. a beverage? Did the
Savior think so? Read the incident
for yourself and then answer for
yourself 1t Is not said that the Sa-
yiour touched il, or that his mother
drank Of il. or his disciples, but that
he made it 10 be used as a beverage,
no sane man can deny. Would
that we knew the motive moving the
Master 10 this exercise Of power. As
an act Of courtesy il was superb, and
il must have been Christian courtesy
in highest, truest, nOblest sense.
This we know, that the man who
never drinks wine nor any form Of
stimulants is safe from the drunkards'
fate, but we will not say, because we
can not believe it, that the man who
does drink wine Is sinner.
No drunkard will enter the King
dom. nor will the man who hate his
brother
Take heed less you fall.

The Y. w. G. A., Of the Normal, OBJ

two wars, Mexican and civil, hold his |
listeners spell-bOund and the new |
books on his desk remind you that
he lives in the present as well as the |
past. There were four Of the old fami-
ly servants present this time and came
In for their share Of attention. The
old truth was but verified; that if left
to themselves the SOutherners and |
their former slaves would settle salts
factorily to both parties, the much
talked Of race problem. They know
their places and would keep them, but
for the interference Of our Northern

The HYMNS We sing.

The Herald has more than once
called attention to the hymns we sing
in our churches with the view Of re-
minding the singer Of the mighty re-
sponsibilities which must be aSsOciat-
ed with the singing Of them.
In one Of our churches these words
were sung on last Sunday, and sing
ing ought to mean praising, and prais-
ing does mean praying;
"were the whole realm Of nature mine,
That were present FAR too small
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all
And these:
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would WITHHOLD
Take my intellect and use
Every power thou shalt choose
And now the question after singing
words like those, what did you drop
into the collection basket? What did
you spend in luxuries during the week
gone? And then, many Of the readers
of the Herald on last Sunday engaged
in singing these words;
take my hands and let them move
AT the impulse OF thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
swirl and beautiful for thee
take my voice and LET me sing,
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee"
We gave hands and feet, voice and
lips to the service Of our God, the God
we worship, and have those hands
been moving and those feet running,
and those voices singing, all for the
King Of Kings and the Lord Of Lords T?
Singing is a solemn act and again we
say is associated with mighty respon-
sibilltles.

land, cleaning up new ground, strip

they, Of course, hope for "bright days
to speed the close Of school, and vel
come the days Of freedom from their

and now they are looking on the

Edmunds-H uTd.

ON Wednesday evening at nine
O'Clock the residence Of Mr.. A. r.
Hurd, just one mile out from Farm
vile, was the scene Of very pretty
wedding. The contracting parties
were Miss Anna +. Hurd and Mr..
Thos. V. Edmunds.
Though Prince Edward is the birth
place Of both, for a number Of years
Miss Hurd has lived in New York
city. and Mr.. Edmunds for the past
three years has resided in Turkey. 1t
is therefore most gratifying to their
families and friends that they should
return to their native county for the
event.
The parlors were tastefully decorat-
ed with palms, and eyergreens, and a
soft light pervaded the rooms. Only
the immediate families and relatives
were present.
Miss Mary Jackson, Of bizarre, y
was maid Of honor, and Mr.. Richard
W. Edmunds. brother Of the groom,
acted a. best man. The Rev. Tucker
Graham, Of the Presbyterian church,
