WAS THERE POLITICS IN rT2

81 1t is charged that President Roose-
welt postponed Issuing the order dis
banding the three companies of negro
soldiers until after the election for
political reasons. Very probably the
president had made up his mind before
the election to issue the order, but
postponed doing so until after that day
because he thought il he issued it
prior thereto the republican party
would lose a great many negro votes
in some Of the northern states. II such
was Mr.. RooseveIt's conduct then there
was politics In postponing the order,
and it was good politics, too, from a
republican standpoint. The head of any
party would have done the same IN
similar circumstances. Had that order
been issued a short while before the
election the democrats would have
elected a good many more members Of
the next congress. We are SO greatly
pleased at the order having been issued
at all that we could not join in criti-
cism Of the president for postponing
action for a few days for political
reasons If we were convinced that
he was actuated by such motive. We
have no means of knowing at what
time the president became convinced,
from reading the reports Of Colonel
Bixby and General Darlington, that II
was his duty to issue the order, nor DC
we think it is of any consequence.

THE BRIDE.

Peter EcArthur, in Watson's Maga-
 zine
 Ho, windy gossips, in your ear! When morning threw the easement
 wide The tilted sun, with eager face, Stole in and kissed the waking bride And, while she blushed, a bobolink That all he sees in music tells, Rang out the tidings to the world With tinkling chimes of elfn bells. She rose and donned her rich attire, The yearning bridesmaids led her
 down, And she was welded in the church Before the jostling, gaping town. But think you that the stolid priest, With studied pomp and sacred rite, Hath wholly bound to one of earth This bride of the adoring light? The grace of the elusive streams If in that form his VOWS would bind For she has roamed the summer world A free-foot follower of the wind And though you choired the husband s

Deafness Cannot be Cured

7 local applications, as taey caa1ot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an unframed con dition of the mucous lining of the Fust- achian Tube. When this tube is in famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of tell are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

i peas again and tae time is up, This c laialy is q busy 3ll world any way. 1 have been cutting and hauling peaFiua hay for g month and am not through yet, ! hiring everyone that 1 can pick peas at F cents per 100 lbs. l want to gather 10 bushels for next season.
 Our Agricultural department has found to be about 120 kinds of stock peas, grooped into is or 20 families of various colors and as many characters. Some kinds are very early and some are late and will not ripen much before frost, nc matter how carly they are planted. Tie way I man should decide which kind he wants is first to decide for what purpose he wants them, besides what kind Of soil he has. The speckicd aiGas, caiI4o the whip pourWili, are the most generally used, because of their fruitful ness and of their standing erect, while at the same time the most easily to rot in the field. It is thought they do not improve the land 50 much as some of the other kinds. If for feeding fer mules or cattle the black or vel low are much preferable. The black kinds have been known to pasture stock until Christmas. No early kind will do this be- cause of their disposition to dry up and become woody.
 Planting for seeds 12 to 15 lbs. drilled in 3 foot rows have given best results and cultivated twice or three times W tn heel scrape or cultivator.
 For meadow prepare the land by breaking well and drill them in with seed drill at the rate of 1 to 1 1-2 bushel per acre and in rows from Is to 20 inches and drag. It is a fact well proven that much of the land in Nevada county IS well as in South Ark ansas will produce more bushels of peas per acre than it will corn. The peas worth S1. 50 per bushel the corn worth 50 cents per bushel. The pea will improve the land every crop by adding humus to the land and by store ing from S5 to $l0 worth of ni- trogen to each acre thus treated.
 1 have lying before me a letter
 written by H. L. Homer of Vir- ginia, stating that fo. a long time he refused to sell hay be- cause of its scarcity, but now he says he sells all he can because he has more than he can feed. 1 He fertilizes his peas and in- l Icreases his yield and emiches his land at the same time.
 < good way is to lay your corn ! rows of Wide and plant peas in alternate rows in May which wifi make you as much corn per acre and the peas will pay the expense 1 pf the labor and turn your hogs ] in to do the harvesting for you. Another way l have found is to plant every third row in peas, 1 this gives you more room on one side of corn which is badly need ed on thin land.
 Peas will make from 10 to 40 bushels per acre when rightly managed, with a good planter and thrasher, we can afford to wait for the picker, which is sure to come. If you who haven't tried it will go at it you will find it profitable adjunct to your farming and soon find it to be better than hauling out so much Northern bacon ond cheaper too.
