A New York young woman who
was called back to life after she was
supposed to be dead has been telling
what she saw during her temporary
absence from the body. Among
other things she describes the place
as being vacant except for myriads of
souls, and says she could "hardly
make her way because the souls
bumped into her So" Perhaps she
ran into IA bargain counter rush over
there.
A scientist who is telling how to
live a hundred years says: "Avoid
reading stories that end badly" No
such stories are ever written, good
sir. In a lifetime that has passed the
half century mark this writer has
read hundreds of stories, and has yet
to get hold Of one that does not end
"goodly" by the lovers being married
in the last chapter and forever there
after living happily together.

Plant Food Crops.

an-H
From what we can learn, the
farmers of the Southern portion
OF Kempcr county look, when
planting time comes, first to the
home needs OF themselves and
families, aud later to the planting
of the tieecy staple. !.
Our friends over there raise
corn, potatoes, cane, vegetables
of all kinds, have their own
butter and milk in plenty, fine
fat beeves, and hogs and poultry.
When provision has been made
for a plentiful supply of these
things, they employ their spare
time aud put in the remaining
land in cotton.
And this should be the policy
of every Southern farmer. Plant
good crops first, last and all the
time-to the extent OF bouuti-
fully supplying your families
with the necessaries. And when
that is attained, plant cotton.
The man who does this will
not be worried by the Auctua-
tons of a speculative cotton mar
ket, he'll sleep well. eat hearty,
and have a smile and a pleasant
word for every conner.
Plant food crops.
