New York prices for cereals and other
farm products differ materially. of course
from the farm values. but interest never
theless attaches to the money value of
the crops as based on present quotations
in this city. Taking the five principal
cereal crops and the hay crop it is found
that they show an aggregate money
value OF S3.634. 22S, 900-this without ref
erence TO the cotton crop and numerous
farm products not included in the follow
ing table. AS a matter of comparison it
IS interesting to note that the value of
these crops for one year is equal to about
one-quarter Of the par value of all the
securities listed on the New York Stock
exchange, which two years ago were es-
timated to amount to $4,000 100000 in

Well, We'll, We'll ]!

k We received a notice from the milk Inspector a few days ago telling us to call on our city clerk and get license which will entitle us to the privilege of selling nice fresh butter, milk for one year Well, like good and faithful servant we did as we were commanded, but what puzzled us most was,, they pulled our leg for 30 cents, which is only 4 1-6c per month. Isn't that a measley tr1ck. Now if they had put the license in nice frame we wouldn't have any kick coming, but they didn't and they wouldn't, and to charge 30 cents for . little piece of paper is preposterous, and to us the paper is useless, be cause we sell only good, nice. fresh butter r-milk and it's got to be the good kind or we would send 1t along SkiddO lane very quick, but the li- cense doesn't make the milk one iota better.

Realizing that nothing can be writ ten that will add luster to the honored name. Joe Wheeler, whish as an or ganization of the U. D. C., we bear with so much pride. we feel hcsitancy in attempting to express the sorrow Of the Chapter over the death of Gen eral Joseph Wheeler.
 Seven years have passed since we: a band of Southern women, honored ourselves by appropriating his name to our chapters use, and during that time we have felt deeper interest and prid in his noble career.
 Our fair Southland has had many heroes; some of whom fell in battle, and some languished and died in hos pitals and prisons, but General Joseph Wheeler lived to an old age and kept untarnished the glory of his war re- cord during period of forty six years. His heroism was not confined to the battle field, but as future history will prove, he has met every phase of life bravely. He has stood as firm as ada ment for truth, justice. honor and all else that is necessary to make a noble man.
 We rejoice that his life is an example worthy of emulation, and we grieve sincerely with his loved ones knowing that in his death they have sustained the greatest loss that could befall them.

Dres. and the woman,

A recently published picture makes it clear that the old proverb Fine feath- CTS make fine birds" Is not entirely true, and at the same time 1t teaches a lesson.
 The picture represents shop window in which are displayed some magnifi- cent creations" in dress. Several dainty ladies are tripping past the window or in and out of the shop, while the poorly clad. unkempt and anything but pretty girl appears to be trying to flatten a turned up nose against the pane. The girl is supposed 10 make the remark, Why, you couldn't help looking 'andsome in one O them dressesi,.
 The idea that this girl could be made to look handsome in anything is ab- surd. Dress may tone down various too salient points, but mere clothing will not make any one either beautiful pr charming, notwithstanding the con- trary statement of the proverb.
 Beauty is not merely skin deep and 1t does not vanish with the advent of a cold in the head, as some people say. Beauty of outline must have a solid foundation under the skin, and this is often a matter of family descent. Such beauty may be temporarily effected by the cold, but not entirely driven away.
 A really beautiful or a really charm ing woman will find 1t best to try sim pie methods of setting off her beauty and charm rather than attempt to heighten either attraction by elaborate 'confections.'
 Those who have been shabbily treated by nature in the matter of good looks charm of manner or disposition and grace of movement may legitnlately make use of dress to counteract such defects, and every one will admit that any woman shows to better advantage when well dressed. The main thing to bear in mind. however, is that very few people are without some attractive

Wilson's raiders advanced on ,ein.a. Leaving his wife and two youngest chill

 mother accepted the call and busted
 herself at home where any Confeder-

 the best she had. She personally su-

The poor mother was crushed and heart broken, but more awaited her. That night a man called at the front gate for Mrs. Ellerbe to tell her that her husband had been shot through both ankles at Selma. This was on Monday
 or Tuesday. Knowing that her husband
