Going for the Ministers.

The average parson-the man who
has spent ten years of the best of his
life in acquiring a classical and theo-
logical eduction at an expense of $3, 900
or $4,000, and who eagerly accepts
the pastorate of some church which
will insure him barely living salary,
often only too hard to collect, the
faithful, patient and useful factor in
every Amer lean community, always
working to the limit for the better
ment and uplifting of his people-this
poorly paid and often over-worked
man, seems to be the special target for
the caustic criticism and often virulent
abuse of the professional evangelist
and others of their kind who get "new
light" and advocate the: higher criti-
cism," according to our friend, 10.
Trigg. The mountebank evangelist
with his theological brass band, and
poster advertisements, will raid a
peaceable community, start in with a
vicious onslaught on the ministers and
churches, stampede the people, pick
their pockets clean and light out of
town inside OF twenty days with more
money in his pocket than all the pas
tors in town get for a whole year S
patient, consistent, helpful work.
Then some of the big guns-the chaps
who think they have outgrown old
ways, old PHILOSOPHERS and biblical in
terpretations, go to slashing around,
emasculating the old bible and, guided
by an electric headlight of self-con-
ceit, want all creation to get aboard
their modern train which, starting
here, goes to an unknown terminal.
And these, too, take a whack at the
Old-fashioned parson-the man who
sympathizes with the troubled, who
ministers to the poor,,and unfortunate,
who gives solace to the dying and has
words of comfort for the bereaved, and
who often does it for lifetime for a
dollar and half a day, half fare on
the railroad, an occasional wedding
fee and an annual pound party. A
bit slow, poky and old-fashioned as
some of these brethren may be, their
work and the sum total of their self
denying labor so far exceeds in value
that of all their critics that they rich
ly deserve Interrogation here given.

Mail Order Stock Business.

In these..days of diversified farming,
many farmers and stockmen in the
corn belt carry ON profitable lines of
mail order business. A number of the
farmer readers of the Public Opinion
are dealers in pedigreed live stock,
such as cattle, swine, horses and poul-
try while some are interested in other
farm specialties, such as seeds, vines
and nursery. stock, and do good bust
ness both in and outside of Winnie
sheik county. There is no reason why
there should not be steady stream of
money flowing into this locality from
all parts of he..country, enriching our
people and benefiting all classes. By
advertising in the Public Opinion any
offer you desire to make to the people
of this section will be effective. If
you desire, however, to reach buyers
generally throughout the west, The
Iowa Homestead, with it's upwards of
60, 600 prosperous farm readers (nearly
double the actual circulation of any
other weekly Iowa farm paper) will
bring you customers whose orders
should be mutually profitable. The
Homestead is popular with the farmers
of all sections, just as it is here, and
is as excellent as an advertising med
ium as it is valuable for the reader.
The Public Opinion will forward
either subscriptions or advertisements
for The Homestead.

In From Huachucas-Messrs. Cox, Champagne and Cummings came n yesterday from the Huachucas, where they have been doing assessment work in Montezuma canyon on claims in the Mitchell Development group. Messrs Cox and Champagne completed their work on Thursday and will not return to the canyon. MT. Cummings goes back today. The assessment work that has been done by the returned claim owners, they state, brought some very satisfactory results. This was true on nearly every claim upon which the original owners did worh this year. At the present time the people in from the mountains state that there is a world of water to con tend with everywhere in the noun tains, and that work is attended by al kinds of difficulties.

Boy Hurt-A twelve-year-old son of A. W. Haley slipped in the mud yes terday while running alongside a wagon on Naco road. The boy was thrown beneath the wagon, rear wheel running over and severely in- turing his left foot. He was taken home by the driver of the wagon and the injury attended. Only an acci- dent saved the boys body from being run over by the wheel of the wagon, in which case fatal injuries would have been probable. The driver hap pened to see the boy as he fell and saved him from worse injury than he sustained by quickly swerving the team to one side.

Key and Payne.

ssIn this connection, he con-
tinned, 81 don't suppose that many
people know that the homes of
; Francis Scott Key, the author of
! the sStar> Spangled Banner and
John Howard Payne. the author Of
'Home Sweet Home were within
|seyenty five feet of cath other IN
Washington. They lived in g
street, between Third aud Four and
a Half, and were ne,ghbors for
long time. Of course, Key got his
fame first, for Payne did not write
Home, Sweet Home until he went
to Tunis, Alglers, as United States
COUNSEL, where he died In 1859.
The death of Key preceded him,
Jan. IL, l843, by nine years. Their
bones rest in the same cemetery,
Oak Hill, at Washington. Payne,
who was an actor aud dramatist,
wrote a great many things and
played and sang in many Of. them
himself. Home, Sweet Home was
a song written in an opera by him,
but it is by no means his best COM
position, though II Is the only one
that IS likely to be remembered. |
The fame of Key, however, rests
entirely on his one hymn, the
Star Spangled Banner l am tell
ing this story to illustrate one idea;
that is, that though this world is
large, it is very, very small when
you come TO think of it; that though
their productions are the nations
hymns, are known all over the
world, and are destined to live, at
least, as long as this country lives,
they lived within sound of each
others voice during their lives,
and their bones are resting almost
side by side. y

SOME SEAsoHABle ADVICE.

It may be piece Of superfuous ad-
vice to urge people at this season OF
the year to lay in a supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. It is almost
sure to be needed before winter is over,
and much more prompt and satisfactory
results are obtained when taken as soon
as q cold is contracted and before It
has become settled in the system, which
can only be done by keepingthe remedy
at hand. This remedy is SO widely
known and SO altogether good that no
one should hesitate about buying 1t In
preference to any other. l. is for sale

Address to Farmers.

Atlanta Ga, Oct. 6.-Presiden
H,rvie Jordan, Of the Southern
Cotton ASSOCIATION, to. day issued
an open letter 10 the farmers of the
| South in which he urged them to
| hold their cotton for al least two
weeks. He states that If the farm
ers OF the South stand together for
two weeks and hold their cotton
they will win the fight against those
who are endeavoring TO depress the
price of the staple.
In the letter President Jordan
refers to the advice Of former
Vice President Peters, of Texas,
to sell cotton. He reminds the
farmers of The South of the fact
that the resignation of Mr.. Peters
as Vice President of the Southern
Cotton Association was demanded
by the Executive Committee, Sept.
6, contendlng that Mr.. Peters is
no longer Vice President of the
Association and has no right TO
sign himself as such. President
Jordan refers to Mr.. Peters as s'a
traitor to the South and an enemy
to legitimate business interests
President Jordan closes his let
ter to the farmers with a strong
appeal to ..stand together and re.
slst to the last every attempt to
break the present organized efforts
Of the producers to secure fair
prices for their staple.
Even the thriftlest member of Con.
gress no longer sells his supply of
seeds from the Department, of Agrl-
culture to dealers, aud once more
the farmers and truck gardeners
get share and experiment with
strange paintings. The city Repre-
sensitive has no easy task ln ar
ranging for the distribution of his
allowance, as he cannot take the
trouble to learn who among his
constituents has a garden. To a
German supporter Representative
Ryan, of New YORK, sent supply
of flower bulbs-tulip, crocus and
the like-and the result was sudden
sickness in the family. The re-
ciplent supposed the bulbs were
Bermuda onions, and they served
his table as soup, with nearly fatal
results.
