delivered to him twice week every
week in the year and not over four
days old. Remember the best Gus
toners want eggs 365 days in year
and want them fresh. These the
dealer cannot furnish unless backed
by the producer that gets right down
to business begins at the foundation
and makes the conditions right to
produce the article wanted and at
the time wanted. A good way to do
this is for the dealers and capitalists
that want safe investment to secure
an experienced poultry man that is
willing to GO into the poultry busi-
ness for share Of the profits after
paying fair interest on all capital
invested. There are such men to be
had, men that will develop in five
years farm in Richland county that
will pay 10 per cent and more. But
lpmcmber there arc many difficult
ties to encounter that will prove
very expensive unless met by one
that has had the experience and
knows how to guard against them. TO
be forewarncd is forearmed. Select
for the manager the man of expert
cnce that puts the enterprise beyond
the experimental stage. Then go at
it in earnest; put enough in it to
make it success both Of capital and
brains, and it is sure to benefit every
one connected with it and in few
years produce not less than $4,000
worth of goods per year. Being in
a class by itself it would be so differ
ent from the common poultry of the
country as to have nothing in COM
mon with it.
In this way you can succeed and
make it pay you too, but All organi-
zation just to boom the business
might be means of producing a few
more eggs and chickens of the old
class but prove Of very little bcne-
fit to any one.

years old, dressed in clerical garb,

His Idea Of an Anonymous Letter
Believes in Marriage,

If the young lady who dropped the
following effusion near the postolice,
will call at this Office she can obtain
the original copy and other papers Of

"Tell me not in idle jingle, mar
riage is an empty dream, for a girl is
dead that single and things are not
what they seem. Life is real, life is
earnest, single blessedness fib; man
thou are to man returneth, has not
been spoken Of the rib. Not enjoy
ment and not sorrow is our destined
end or way, but act that each tomor-
row finds us nearer marriage day.
Life is short and youth is feeting, and
our hearts though light and gay,
pleasant drums are beating wedding
marches all the way. In the worlds

Of life, be not like drum driven cattle
be a heroine-a wife. Trust no
future, however pleasant-let the
dead past bury its dead. Act, in the
living present, heart within and hope
overhead! Lives of married folks re-
mind us we can live our lives as we'll;
and departed leave behind us lots of
kids to shout and yell, such example
that another, wasting time in idle
sport, forlorn, unmarried brother,
shall take heart and court. Let us
then be up and doing, for we'll never
give up yet. still contriving, still pur-
suing and each one a husband yet.-
