For the Cousins.

A little 12-year-old writes The
Commercial a letter this week. We
would be glad to accommodate
"Snow Ball." but he neither gives
us his postoffice address nor his
name. 1t is rule as old as the
history of newspapers that the
name of the writer must accompany
the communication 1t is not re-
quired that the name be published
with the communication, but the
editor must have it as guarantee
of good faith. Another matter we
would like to refer to again is the
custom of some correspondents
writing the names of visitors with
out stating what locality the visit
ors come from. OF course we con-
clude that these visitors are neigh
bors and hence leave them out.
Much as we would like to do it, we
haven't room in this paper to pub
llsh names of those who come over
to spend the night or an hour or
two. That is the reason many of
our correspondents find their letters
revised. If they would state the To-
cality of their visitors this would
not occur.

SOUTH FULTON.

During our silence we have GER
tainly enjoyed reading what the
Cousins have been saying, as well
as many other good things in The
Commercial.
Fulton has once more fought the
battle nd won til e victory by
shielding itself from the open sa-
loon, which is curse to any COM
munity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lon Pickle have a
new boy at their home, who arrived
Saturday, and his name is Pickle.
Mr.. Ed Bradshaw, who moved
here from Union City, is critically
i'll with muscular rheumatism at
his home on State Line street.
The news came to us several days
ago that our only Gipsv was seri-
ously i'll, and inside of three days
the telephone lneman who looks
after the lines OF the Fulton Office
was sent for to place new wire
leading to Cyclones phone, the
widow Cyclone having worn out
the old one inquiring after Gipsy's
condition.
Our old and esteemed friend, Mr..
j. W.sTemple, of Union City, one
of the head bosses of the Cumber-
land Telephone Co., was a visitor
in our city recently. Mr.. Temple
is made of material that always
succeeds, hence his promotion in
the telephone business.
Leighman Drysdale and Eunice
Ramsey were married Sunday even
ing at o'clock, Rev. M. e. Dodd
officiating.
U-Know, you are on cold trail

sufficient to Justify those who are
going to vote for him.

another subject that may bring the
wrath of some one down upon US.
For many years we have advocated
State Fair under the auspices OF
the Agricultural Department and
supported by an appropriation from
the State, but our legislators could
never be brought to see it that way.
Recently, however, there has been
State Fair organized by private
individuals. Now what we want to
say is, we believe the next General
Assembly h ould appropriate
good round sum to be used by said
State Fair as premiums. While we
are spending our thousands upon
theoretical education from books
the country is suffering from the
want of practical education. This
practical education can be gained
from t h e show room more thor
oughly than in any other way. 1t
the legislature would appropriate
say $1,000 or $4,000 to be used as
premiums, to be equally divided be-
tween poultry, cattle, sheep, goats,
swine, horses and mules, in addi-
ton to what the Fair Association
may offer, we believe it would ac-
complish more good than $50 900
appropriated in any other educa-
tional direction. Now, reader, do
not take it for granted that we are
opposed to theoretical or book edu-
cation, for we are not. We admire
our great institutions of learning,
their faculties and their graduates
they are useful and we need them.
But the farmer, his sons and daugh-
tiers, support them all-they that
''shew Biddy,' that walk between
the pillow handles year and year,
WELD the hoe and groom the live
live stock but few of this vast
number have or will ever see inside
one of these great institutions of
learning. Then why not give the
real producers a little education
that will help them to more profit
ably produce the poultry, live stock
and farm products that sustain the
world? Agriculture and live stock
husbandry should be more thor
oughly taught in our public schools,
and our farmers sons anu daugh-
tiers should have such advantages
as they can avail themselves OF to
prepare them for their life work,
and a good stock show, with liberal
premiums to induce the farmers
sons and daughters to fit their pro-
ducts for the show room, would be
to them what the universities are
to the professional student. Will
the legislature help support this
institution for the benefit of the
farmer boys as it helps support
higher institutions of learning for
the benefit of those who are able
to avail themselves of those oppor-
tpnities? We hope so.

Beneficial.

Prof. w. E. Wadman, the great pure
food chemist of New York, says: mo
objection can possibly apply to SeIf-ris-
ing flour in which pure phOsphates are
the sole leaVening agents, for the residue
left from such are neutral phosphates,
which are not only entirely harmless, but
actually beneficial. Such phosphates are
true nutrient substances, and as such are
frequently prescribed by physicians in
case of NAL nutrition. These phosphates
are normal constituents of brain and nerve
tissues, and of bone, and it is quite obvi-
Gus that they can only be true food sub
stances, and beneficial. HEDGE the nutri-
tive value of bread made from this self
rising flour Is greater than from ordina-
ry flour"

it simply agreed 10 stop disorders, which

affect American trade but it has not
done so up to this time.
