MISS Give AND !.

l saw her first at a dinner party
in New York; fair, high-bred look
ing girl of 20, with an unusual
share of good looks. My compan-
ion, Edgar Dallas, seemed to be
amused by my close study of the
young girl who sat opposite us.
Every beautiful, is she not?' he
said, smiling.

When you look at her it is only

My companion told me that Miss
Give was completely tyrannized
over. 1t seems her mother had
left her in care of an aunt whose
sole object was to suspect her
niece of some secret scheme. Miss
Give was allowed to go nowhere,
to see no one unless accompanied
by the Hon. Miss Give, her aunt,

the opera the next evening, as he
meant to go over to Brooklyn on
business. Consequently, l was very
much angered by seeing him follow
Barbara Give to her box the fol-
lowing night.
Presently he and a friend, Paul
Fielding, came over to chat for a
little while. Carl made a strange
request of me in that short while.
1t was that Barbara be allowed to
see him at our hotel the following
day at II. This l consented to do,
much as it hurt me to think that
he was attracted so by her.
For at least three weeks from
that time Carl was very attentive to
Barbara. Just about that time
there was a small party in our
rooms for dinner one evening. All
but few Of them had gone. when
Carl came in from where he had
been talking to Miss Give. Il had
noticed that another man was with
them shortly before that.
"Why have you left Barbara"
said, coldly, keeping my face reso-
lutely set in it's expression.
Because Barbara would lmuch

HOT OLD TIME In BINGVILLE.

The Bingville Bugle gives the fol-
lowing exciting tale: Ed Hoover's
bees have ALWAYS been a menace to
Bingville. Last June, a year ago,
they swarmed on the post office door,
imprisoning on the inside the Rev.
Sam'l Moore, Seth Dedberry, Deacon
Andrews and Widow Skinner, Rev.
Moore was stung on the nose, while
Mrs. Skinner was stung twice on her
departure for home. Next they lit
on a red undershirt hanging on a
clothes line and some tarnation fool
threw a stone in the middle of 'em.
CONSERVATION reigned supreme. Mrs.
Ranse Smiley was stung once on the
ear and twice between the postofiice
and her residence.

FISH CAR TO TOUR STATE.

AT the request Of the members of
Congress from this State, the Govern
ment fish commission will send its car
on a tour Of the State during the
summer, and it is expected that the
first tour will be commenced during
the latter part of the month.
Numerous requests for choice vari-
cites Of fish to be used in stocking
lakes and streams have been sent by
parties in this State, and a portion of
these will be supplied from the hatch
cry at Tupelo, which is now on first
class working BASH.
Last year one of the cars Of the fish
commission was due to make a tour
of the State, but was prevented from
doing so by the quarantine restric-
tions, and acquisitions that were slat-
ed for compliance last year will be
filled during the summer and autumn
months.

protecting the fisheries, quite a num-

WHY FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

First, they should organize to pro

and money sharks of the world. Nine
tenths of the millionaires of TODAY

penter work done and one carpenter
offers to do the work for $5 or 81
you might as we'll let him do the work
for you cannot get another to do the
work cheaper, Why? Because they
are organized, and all stick together
and have perfect understanding.
Now, if the farmers would organize
in one great band, they would not on
ly be the backbone of the world, but
they would be the rulers of the world.
What can just a few farmers do
against so many? If you had a load
to pull, and one horse could not pull
it, what would you do? Why, hitch
on another, of course; and if two
could not pull it, hitch on the third.
That is the way with the Farmers
Union. The more we get into the
Union, the more we pull, and when we
get all the farmers pulling one way
we can pull the world our way.
The farmer and his family work
hard all the year and if he gets a
little meat and bread to eat, and a
few gladstone rags to wear in the
summer, and perhaps a new suit
Christmas, he thinks he is flying. This
should not be for the farmers make
more and should have more. If the
farmers would organize in one great
band they could keep an account of
every days labor, and when they
gather their crop they would know
how much the crop had cost them, and
they could set a price to make a
clear profit, and if they would stick
together and have a perfect under
standing they could get it. If they
do not organize now it would not be
be long before they could not, be-
cause they would soon become serv-
ants for the ones they are making
rich. If you wish to grow healthy,
wealthy and wise, open your eyes and
organize. Three cheers for the
