of riveting the huge iron plates

CROP NOTES.

The past two weeks have been ideal
for farming operations, much work
has been done, quite large area of
cane has been planted, and much good
blowing has been done, and our farm
ers and planters were building high

change has occurred commencing last
Tuesday and continuing till the
present. Monday night the rain com
menced to fall In torrents, and all day

And It was true that in that same
town another man lived. He too had
begun life with but little Of the
worlds goods; but his neighbors were
kind to him, and in the course of
time he accumulated land and houses
and money. And he looked around,
patted his hands together and said:
"All this I have made. not a soul has
given me one cent nor did he in
his self complacency stop as the other
man did to ask why his land was val
liable, why he could rent his houses
or why he had been enabled to become
rich. In his folly he thought he alone
had done it, and when it came to pass
that the committee Of citizens went
to him and asked that he give q small
sum yearly to build a school house
for the children, the innocent child
rem whose right to an education is
sacred, he grumbled, 1--WE are taxed
10 death" and refused, refused to re-
turn even trifie to the people so mar
velously generous to him.

way. Ingratitude is the unforgiva.

TWO MEN.

We reproduce the following from
the Lafayette Advertiser which APP
plies to every community in the land :
"A certain man travelling around to
find place where to make living,
came to little village. 1t looked
good to him and he settled there and
the people welcomed him. He bought
piece of ground and paid 5000 for it,
AS time passed the village grew into
a town, then into a little city, and
then the man discovered that the lit
tie piece of ground for which he had
paid 5000 was now worth $40, 600, and
yet he had neither worked it, nor adj
ded single thing to it. And the
wonder came upon him as to what
made the piece of land so much more
valuable, and he found that it was
because that other people had come
and settled around his land, had built
business places and beautiful houses
and he raised up his eyes and was
glad that he had settled in that little
village where the people were SO good
as to make his land worth SO much
and give him the difference between
$40. 600 and 5000 as a gift And it SO
happened that whilst the man rejoiced
at such princely gift from his fellow
citizens. some of his fellow citizens
appeared and asked him to give few
dolla. 8 a year to build q school house
for the children, the future men and
women of the town and he said,
Thanks" my dear friends. "for
giving me an opportunity to show my
great appreciation Of your marvellous
kindness to me. Double the tax
and l will pay it gladly"
And the citizens moved away and
How generous!''
