E Piuribus Unum

A correspondent desires to know when and where the national motto was first used. This is easy, for the records show that after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and before the adjournment of the days session it was resolved That Dr. Franklin, MT. J. Adams and MT. Jefferson be a committee to prepare a device for a seal for the United States of America" The committee did devise a seal, and that seal is in use today, not of course physically, but in true spirit It has never been changed particle.

His greatest fault, aside from his quick temper and his tendency to be ultra-radical in his attacks on his opponents, was his fondness for the flowing bowl. About once every month or six weeks he would imbibe a casual drink, and anybody who happened to be apprised of his action knew that 1t meant a debauch of week or so Usually the office heard about the old mans condition in time to get an outsider, a local lawyer, to write the editorials.

 ly makes a laborious effort to answer the question. Why is a joke funny?a The obvious reply, >,is that a joke is not funny, at least not in the usual case. But this is not the answer to the riddle, and it is necessary to read several pages of quotation and psychoI- ogy to discover that 1t is because man is an intellectual entity; because his mind is a mierocosm; because this microcosm is guarded by a central intelligence which sets this miniature world in order and guards it from chaos" etc, etc. Now that he has suggested it. we fully realize that this is the reason, and we are much obliged to MT. Gilson Gardner. who writes the article, for having made the matter so plain that the wayfaring man like our selves can understand it.
 Humor, he tells us again, is the man Hesitation of intellectual abundance" That may be. We are not denying his propo- sition nor would we think of contesting another idea of his, that a "wise man. ought not to joke with "those whose standards and general trend of thought are not like his own" Many serious mistakes have been made along this line from time to time, and they ought not to be repeated. A joker needs sympathy, and he ought to go where he can find
 it. Equally true is the authors conten- tiOn that mo joke ia aIwavs funnvD We have often felt the truth of this pro found observation, and doubtless others have also. Not even the mother-in law

Land Values.

T was astonished in reading the other day that fine Alabama cotton farm, in high state of cultivation, was sold for s9 an acre." said a citizen.
 'Tlhe price was extremely low, and am sure the purchaser made a good trade. I know of some farm lands in this state that cannot be bought for $100 per acre. Yet there are thousands of acres or ldfe land that can be bought cheapy, and if properly cultivated would pay handsome profits. The climate and soil of Alabama are both adapted to the growth of food crops, the supply of which the people of this state are buying from other parts.
