A conductor on a south-bound train
on the Illinois Central Railroad found Il
basket in one of the coaches containing
a 3 or 4-days-old healthy-looking baby
boy, neatly dressed. The basket also
contained one silver dollar and a note,
which read something like this: q was
put on at Sardis. My name is Johnnie
johnson. Please take me to Jackson.
If you fail to do this, it means death to
me and my mother" The conductor

at Batesville, and it was not found until
after the train had passed that place.
When the train reached Grenada the

dustries of man. 1t outranks all Others
in value of product, and Importance tc
u National welfare. A prosperous ag.
riculture is the foundation of a prosperous
country. When our farms produce abun.
dainty, and good paying markets are at.
forded, commerce is increased, ~transpor.
tation facilities are multiplied. and the
factory, loom and workshop brought in.
to requistion; the people are employed a.
paying wages, and none need suffer
hunger.
Whatever, therefore, contributes to the
improvement OF this industry is a bene.
fit to all others, and whatever tends tc
cripple it is injurious to them also. tt
help this industry is the mission of the
Farmers Institute.

OF more protein crops, with abundance O
summer forage and winter silage; NOR,
high-grade cattle, horses, sheep, hogs anc
poultry; better fruits; a better system o
marketing; better homes and better pee
pie; better schools, and the teaching O
the principles and avn of production, a
