A LITTLE SERMON.
LONGING FOR A FARM

Senator Edward w. Pettus Of Ala.
bama, Is eighty-six years old, and in q
long, active life as lawyer. soldier and
politician, has garnered much ripe wis.
dom.
At that age, if ever, man ought to
know what In life is really worth while.
When asked by young man whag
vocation he would choose If he were be-
ginning active life, the venerable sena'
tor replied
II would buy finely located farm,
stock 1t Mp nicely. and settle down TO 9
quiet life of peace and plenty, with
fields and orchards filing my grauaries.
and calm observation and reflection de-
velNping my mind
1t Is an ancient phen omenon, this
yearning Of the years THAI are ~ little
more than mature for the SABINE farm.
Old age yesrns for the vine and fig
tree under which to watch the setting
of the sun.
But old age wants its farm to be Sab
ine-that Is 10 say, refined and easy
And so does youth tor that matter
Neither old age nor youth yearns par
ticulsrly toward the cleaning out of sta
bles nor toward the milking of six COWS
by lantern light after q long day spent
In jumping about behind u plow.

EDITOR CENSOR: Reading an account
of a visit of several Of Viroqua's business
men to the sugar camp OF Howard Will
lian,s reminds me Of an instance of my
boynood days. We were living at Viola
and my father decided to remove to VI
roaus where he had q position with J.
Henry Tate. The nearest vacant house
was located in Grove settlement now
Ross) where q log house wss rented.
in the spring we tapped q number OF
maple trees and used dishes, pans and
pals to catch the sap. The sap was
boiled down and some small cakes of
nice, light. colored sugar made. In the
fall my mother sent some Of 1t to the
fair. The judges discussed 1t and decid-
ed was too white to be pure. The peo-
pie at that time used bssewood troughs
with the inside burned black, to catch
ths sap These were also convenient to
catch dead leaves and rubbish, so the
sugar hsd rather dark complexion and
a taste that did not mean more.
