MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.

By Stephen Collins Foster The sun shines bright in our old Ken-
 lucky home: 'Tis summer. the darkies are gay; The corn tops ripe and the meadows in
 the bloom.
 While the birds make music all the day; The young folks roll on the little cabin
 floor,
 All merry, all happy, all bright; Bymby hard times comes a knockin' at
 the door
 Then. my old Kentucky home, good
 night Weep no more, my lady; weep no more
 today, We'll sing one song for the old Kentcky
 home,
 For our old Kentucky home far away They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon.
 On the meadow, the hill and the shore They sing no more by the glimmer of the
 moon,
 On the bench by the old cabin door, The day goes by, like the shadow oer the
 heart, With sorrow where all was delight: The time has come when the darkies have
 to part,
 Then. my old Kentucky home, good night ~ & 4 The head must bow and the back will
 have to bend
 Wherever the darky may go; few more days and the troubles all
 will end
 In the field where the sugar canes grow few more days to tote the weary load, No matter it will never be light; few more days till we totter on the road. Then. my old Kentucky home. sood night!

Home and Chicago Chickens.

Whatever grounds of complaint against Packingtown other sections may have, the Washington Post thinks the south has none at all. There has never been," it goes on to say, 'the smallest reason why the southern peo- pie should not feed themselves from their own herds, flocks, fields, dairies, and barnyards. The south is rich in farming and grazing lands, and the h. habitants thereof can raise beef cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and vegetables of the very finest quality and in unlimited quantity if they choose. Why need they go to Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, or any other distant market for food which they can produce them selves? And if they persist in a policy so unnecessary and improvident, they might have the grace to realize that it is their fault and refrain from con demnation of others. The pastures of  the south can turn out as good beef and mutton as the stockyards of Chicago can. Southern farms are capable of furnishing as high class butter, milk, eggs, etc. as any farms in Iowa or ern people help themselves instead of calling upon Hercules to help them and filling the air with complaint and i'm precation when he fails to answer to their satisfaction"
 Like the Secretary of Agriculture, who built two houses when Congress ordered but one, the south will have to plead guilty to the indictment drawn by the Post The indictment is we'll grounded, substantial and sound The southern man who eats potted chicken made in Chicago" has no right to complain-no kick coming. He should eat his Chicago canned chicken at least as long as his stomach will stand it. and even then he should not kick unless indeed he can contrive in some way to kick himself. Let his stomach do the work, while the preachers get all the yellow-legged chickens of home production. Long live the preachers. ,-.----- --------------------

Cotton Being Hurt.

'The cotton crop in Georgia has been damaged al least 20 per cent by the rains and winds in the past week." said a man from the cotton belt of that state. This Is a conservative estimate of the loss.
 Corn and other crops have been very badly damaged, particularly in South and Middle Georgia. where the rains were heaviest and the wind fiercest Much harm is likely to result from cotton lice, which will cover the plants unless hot sunshine and warm nights come soon.
 Grass Is taking hundreds of acres in South and Middle Georgia, and farmers are unable to work their fields on account of the incessant rain and fierce winds"

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE TIMES

6 LAcKBERRY pies are in our E1H midst again. There is a certain E indefnable charm attached to blackberry pie that inspires eloquent thoughts and lifts man above his eoarser self. There are pies and pies and pies Some of them are good and some of them are bad; some are made with chemicals and others are bona fide Some will su- perinduce stomach complaint and others nestle within a man like a hot brick to his feet on cold night, bringing nought but comfort There be men who con- tend that mince meat pie deserves the palm among pies. and others contend for pumpkin, while gooseberry, potato, lemon apple, peach, strawberry. cranberry, ap- ricot, prune, plum, scuppernong and all the other varieties have devotees, but in season nothing Is more fit than blackber- ry pie. The most attractive feature of blackberry pie time Is that huckleberry pie is also here. May the pie belt spread broader every day and may the Ameri- can appetite for pie never grow less!
 DON'T BE A TARGET.
 It's hard to be merry
 When things go wrong,
 You'd rather be grumpy

 When you are sad.
