Mt. Vernon Notes.

EDITOR DISPATCH The cold
weather has come upon US some
what Unexpectedly, therefore
today, instead of the people go
ing to the fields to tear up the
soil, they may be seen going to
the woods for fuel.
With the exception of few
cases the health of the commun-
ity is good. Mrs. J. J. Ellis
has been i'll for several days. We
trust that her illness will not
linger. Miss Ola Phillips, who
has been sick several weeks, is
much better. Miss George Ellis
was absent from school several
days last week on account of her
mother $ illness. Miss Gabrella
Ellis was also out of school the
past week on account of sick
ness We regret that Proyi-
dence in the way of Affections, is
depriving these people of their
privileges.
The chief amusement in our
school. during the past week,
was a game of baseball spelling,
which took the place of the Fri
day afternoon entertainment.
Both sides were chosen from the
spelling class in the principals
room. The game was the source
of a warm contest among the
pupils. yet greatly enjoyed by
all. The words were used as
balls, and [ will tell you some OF
them were hard balls too
Our Literary Circle met last
week at the appointed time A
good mum Der attended and much
interest was manifested. Besides
our regular work as so wisely
conducted by Prof. Spaun. our
director. highly enter tanning
program was rendered by the
committee, and
our attentions were for a while
to a very instructive ad
dress made by Mr.. j. w. Cooper
on the late war. We had also a |
very helpful and appropriate
reading by Mr.. Walter Phillips,
the subject Of which was Cheer
fulness.
When we had gone through |
with the fixed order of business, /
a few remarks were made by
Pres. Reeves. and we adjourned /
to meet again at the appointed
time and place.

County Teachers Convention.

\ convention Of the teachers
of the county has been called to
assem- BILE at Franklin Academy.
in this city on Saturday, Jan
uary 28th, at II O'Clock 4. m.
There is a movement on foot to
establish a school for training
of Mississippi teachers, and the
object of the convention is TO
work up interest in the matter
and to take steps to foster and
encourage the movement, The
plan originated with Prof. Whit
field, the efficient State Superin-
teudent of Educa ton, who some
time since issued a circular let
ter to the different county super
intendents of education request
ing them to call conventions in
their respective counties on the
above named date In compli-
ance with this request County
Superintendent Nash issued a
call for the convention, and it is
hoped that every public school
teacher in u county will be pre-
sent.
All the teachers throughout
the State are manifesting great
deal of interest in this movement
and there is little doubt that the
school will De established. So
far as can be learned no site for
the institution has as yet been
suggested, and right here THE
DISPATCH wishes to put forth the
claim Of COIum bus. We have the
prettiest, healthiest and most
moral city ia the State, and as
site for an educational institution
of any character there is no city
Ia the country that SurpasseS
Columbus. We can offer the
school every advantage that
could possibly be secured else
where, and there is no good rea-
son why it should not be located
here.

DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

| From Railroad Com missioner
r. L. Bradley, who was in the
city Monday, THE DISPATCH
learns that during the coming
year the crops on the State
/ farms will be diversified and
very little cotton will be planted.
At recent meeting Of the board
of control of the penitentiary.
which has under its supervision
the different State farms as well
as the cOnvictS, it was decided to
plant about two thousand acres
in oats. sorghum, hay and other
products that can be used on the
farms, and besides this the
State will EN- bark in stock rails
ing on quite an extensive scale.
Com missioner Bradley expects
to go next week to St. Louise
where he will purchase a num-
Der of brood mares. and COWS,
sheep and swine will also be
raised in large mum bers. The
State still has on hand quite a
lot of cotton that was raised
during the past year which is be-
ing held for higher prices, So
that in the event the market adj
vanceS this cotton can be sold at
a profit, while if there is no ad
vance she will still be on the safe
side, as here will lie the stock
and grain which are to be raised
this year ready for the market
next fall.
1t seems that the farmers
roughout the State might prof
it by the example of the board of
control and diversity their crops |
during the coming year. 1t is
a we'll known fact that cotton can
not be produced at a cost less
than five cents per pound, and
when the market price does not
exceed this figure there is no
profit in raising it. Then too,
by planting grain and vegetables
the acreage of cotton will neces-
sarily be decreased and there
will be a smaller crop, which
means better prices.
Cotton always has aud ever will
be the staple crop Of the South,
bot with our fertile soil and
cline we can raise so
many different kinds Of farm
prod ucts that there is no good
reason why we should depend
upon it entirely.
Another branch of farming
which desefy s the attention of
agriculturists throughout this
section is the raising of chick
ems, vegetables and small fruits
Of endless variety. So many
new people have moved to Colum-
BUS during the past few years
and there has been such a great
demand for homes that most of
the ground formally devoted to
vegetable gardening has been
sold of and very few private
families raise their own vegeta-
oles. As a consequence there i
1 big demand not only for chick
ems, eggs and butter but for veg
atables of all kinds. aud tn

AssAILs SOME woMEN's CLUBS.
Grover Cleveland Sees in Them Serious
Harm to the Home.

AleNelanO sees IN Them Serious
Harm to the Home.
What a blessed thing it would be if
every mother, and every woman, could
realize the everlasting truth that the
hand that rocks the cradle is the hand
that rules the world, says Grover
! Cleveland, in the Ladies Home Journals
current number, sternly arraigning a GER
tain kind of woman's clubs, whose objects
| and intents, he declared, are not only
harmful, but harmful in a way that mem
aces American homes.
The ex-President sees in the trend of
woman's clubs a discomfort with home
life, with motherhood, and all of their
| consequent labors and sacrifices. He says
it appears in the movement to secure to
women the right to vote, and otherwise
participate in public affairs. Mr.. Cleve-
land says:
Let it here be distinctly understood
that no sensible man has fears of injury
to the country on account of such partici-
patton. 1t is its dangerous, undermining
effect on the characters of the wives and
mothers of our land that we fear. At a
recent meeting of these radicals a high
| priestess of the faith declared: NO mat
ter how bad the crime a woman commits,
if she cant vote, and is classed with
idiots and criminals and lunatics, she
should not be punished by the same laws
as those who vote obey
1T is a thousand pities that all the
wives found in such company cannot
sufficiently open their minds to see the
complete fitness Of the homely definition
which describes a good wife as a woman
who loves her husband and her country
with no desire to ruin either.

Killed the Pigeon.

At half a dozen places in the streets
downtown the cabmen, fruit vendors
and others each day feed tae pigeons.
These birds have learned TO fly TO GER
tain spots at meal time. They know
they will always be fed.
Not only the men who feed the
pigeons come TO know them, but the
cab horses seem to take as genuine
an interest in the pretty birds. The
other day on Monroe street a flock of
pigeons alighted in the street. The
cabman who feeds them threw a
handful OF oats to the birds and they
began eating. In the course of few
minutes one blue pigeon got directly
beneath a cab horse. The horse took
one step and crushed the life out of
the pigeon. When the horses's foot
touch.e the bird the old cab animal
att, mpted TO rear quickly to raise his
foot ,om the pigeon. But the horse
was not quick enough. His heavy foot
had killed the bind.
when he saw what he had done
the old horse carefully backed away
several feet and looked straight at
the fiuttering bird. When the bird
ceased fiuttering and lay dead the old
horse came forward and gently rolled
If over with his nose, and for half an
hour each time before he would step
he would turn his head and carefully
look where he was s.epping.-ChicaSo

Motherhood.


You say that motherhood is blessed above
all other blessings.
/ am mother who has felt the baby lips
caressings;
You say the mothers duty is the highest
duty known,
l am a mother from whose arms the
nestlings all have flown;
You say within the mothers haad the
country's honors rest,
1 am a mother whose brave sons the
bloody field have pressed;
You say that God, whose goodness notes
the thy sparrow's fall,
VIII keep from harm the mothers child
who on His name shall call;
l am mother who through life in hum
bleness have sought
10 follow Him who for our sins unto the
cross was brought,
And / have seen my children pale and
droop and die for bread;
I've seen the storms of adverse fate
sweep darkly round head
Whose clinging curls in babyhOod the
brightest sunlight shared.
Shut out from all the world of good, by
Christians scorned and blamed.
l know what means that motherhood you
turn aside to praise
It's hopes, its fears, its cares, its pains,
the parting of its ways.
All, God! to sit white-haired and weak
in poverty, alone.
Keep silent, ye who cannot know what
mother hearts have known.

CHAPTER xv1.-(contipued.,

knowing pretty well all the chief
rooms OF the house, Hardenow resolved
20 go and see if they were locked; and
grasping his black holly-stick for self
defense, he made for the dining room.
Ihe door was wide open; the cloth on the
table, with knives and forks and glasses
placed, as if for a small dinner party.
Hardenow tasted the water in a jug, and
round 1t quite stale; then he opened a
napkin, and the bread inside it was dry
and hard as biscuit Then he saw with
sun further surprise that the windows
were open to their utmost extent, and
TIE basket of plate was on the sideboard.
My old friend Russell, my dear old
Ieiiow! he cried, with his hand on his
neart, what strange misfortune has be-

gone TO his funeral. But no! if it were
so, these things would not be thus. The
funeral feast is a grand institution. Ev-
erythlng would be fresh and lively, and
me leaves put into the dinner table"
with this true reflection, he left the
room to seek the solution elsewhere.
At the end of this passage he came to
small alcove, fenced off with a loose
white curtain, shaking and jerking itself
in the wind. He put this aside with his
stick; and two doorways, leading into

BABIES SLAUGHTERED.
Adulterated Foods Killed Nearly
Half Million Last Year.

Half Million Last Year.
Are food adulterators responsible for
the death in this country last year of
nearly half million babies? That is
the all important question which was
brought prominently to the front at the
recent meeting in Chicago of the execu-
tive committee of the National Associa-
ton of State Dairy and Food Depart
ments The assertion of the enormous
fatality among infants last year resulting
from impure food was made by ]. n.
Hurry, secretary Of the Indiana State
Board o. Health Mr.. Hurry produced
figures to show that G5 per cent of the
total deaths of infants in America last
year was due to poisons administered in
impure foods and the deadly connections
placed on the market by fraudulent food
manufacturers. He produced statistics
to show that more than 100000 infants
died in the United States last year. In
speaking on the subject Mr.. Pierce of
Chicago said:
IF Mr.. Hurty's figures are correct,
and | believe they are, an army of 455,-
600 infants was murdered last year by
food authorizations. They wsre poisoned
by infant foods and dyes and chemicals
contained in the diet their mothers have
fed them in an effort to appease their APP
petites, to satisfy their natural desires
for nourishment and rear them health.
fully to maturity.
when such conditions are harassing
our land, when these baby killing food
adulterators are permitted to blight our
homes, feeding on the lives of our chill
dren to fatten their purses, is it not time
that pure food workers regarded some
other subject of greater import than
whisky, to the adulteration of which they
have lately devoted most of their in.-
quiries?'
