Self-D Dependence.

Many an unwise parent works hard,
and lives sparingly all his life for the pur'
pose of leaving enough to give his chill
dren a start in the world, as it is called.
Setting young man afloat with money
left by his relatives, is life tying 9
bladder under the arms of one who can
not swim; ten chanches to one he will
lose the bladder and go to the bottom.
Teach him to swim and he will not need
the bladder. Give your child good
education. See to it that his morals are
pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subservient to the laws
which govern man, and you will have
given what will Be more value than the
wealth Of the Indies. You have given
him start which no misfortune can
deprive him Of. The earlier you teach
him to depend upon his own resources and
the blessings Of God, the better.

Items from Forest Register.

Raymond Gazette: G. E. Stovall
made business(?) trip to Forest
Sunday. Judging from his expression
he must have closed the deal.
The man who mows the weeds and
cleans up the trash around his premi
ses has done more for his community
than the citizens who has figured out
which political faction will save the
country.
Strangers to q town form their
opinions as to it's people by the ap-
pearanoe of the business places and
the residences. In town where the
buildings are dingy and dirty, and the
show windows of the stores are care.
lessly arranged, it is evident that
there is lack of enterprise. It pays
the business men Of a town to be
careful as to the exterior appearance
of their places of business
| The resignation of O. @. Harvey
as president of the Queen and Crescent
railroad, has been accepted by the
directors. D. D. Curran, vice presi.
I dent and general superintendent. was
promoted to the presidency, and Au.
ditor l.. A. Jones was made vice-pres.
| ident. He will also continue to per-
form the auditors duties. Mr.. Har.
vey will return to England, his home
where he was we'll known railroad
man before coming to this country.
The friends in Forest OF DR.. r.
o. Brooks are glad to learn of his con
tinued prosperity in his Texas home
and to know that he has recently
united with the Baptist church. In
q letter to his friend, jeff Kent, be
writes: I agree with you that the
cause of christianity is the greatest
concern of man. / feel that I
was q regenerated man little more
than twenty years ago, but because
did not continue to have that happy
feeling present with me always I al
lowed the devil to lead me into q
debate about the matter, and doubt
would arise in my mind as to my
regeneration. About two months ago
/ made up my mind to throw aside
all doubts in the matter and took up
my cross. There is 8 solace in q
faith in the christian religion that
cannot be had from any other source
and that no man can have until it has
been experienced.

A. Kersh, Patrick, Miss. Dear Cous-

your letter of May the 10th. l am
glad to hear of people wanting to
come to this country for it is very
thickly settled. This is fine country
and while it is not very we'll i'm !
proved, still there is not q doubt but
in time this will be one of the finest
countries in the world. Our nearest
railroad is % miles, but charter has
been granted for another to be built
this year, which will come through
this valley and will increase the value
OF land considerably. Most all farms
are irrigated from little mountain
streams which are fed by snow off the
mountains and never failing springs.

some alkali but not enough to effect
anything.
Have both open and timbered land.

We have pine, cedar, juniper, spruce
and pinion souce, white oak and cot
ton wood. The valley land is very
fertile. Most anything except cotton
can be raised and good market for
anything a person can raise. 1t is
the home Of the alfalfa. It can be
cut at least five times year and sells
from $t8. 90 to $4,000 per ton. Irish
potatoes average 100 bushels to an
acre. Crops are very late on ac-
count Of the late cold. Had frost here
in May. Corn is up about inches
high, oats and wheat ready to head.
Most all kind OF fruit grow here and
apples can be kept in cellars till May.
They sell at the orchards for 5 cents .
pound. Vegetables such as cabbage,
beets and turnips can be kept fresh
all winter in cellars. Stock does we'll
here and especially goats, and for
game we have bear, dear, antelope,
turkey and several kind Of quail.

so LEADERS IN WASHINGTON
THINK, AND THE MATTER
HAS BEEN DISCUSSED
AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

The question whether the Philip
pines are worth keeping has been
discussed more than once in recent
White House conferences. The Jap
anese school question, which the
president is trying to settle, drought
the Philippines to the front more
than a month ago. The president
was surprised TO find that many
OF the most conservative men I'm
his party had changed front on the
question within six months They
believe some plan should be framed
by the republican party that would
let the United States get out of
the islands at a not remote period.
The granting OF independence TO
the Filipinos and the payment by
them OF our expenditures in the
Islands is the plan most favored
There is objection to any protec-
torate. it being held that this would
eventually involve our government

POLITICIANS DESERT MANILA
TO RUN FOR THE AS.
SEMBLY.

The entire archipelago IS stirred
by the pending political campaign,
according to a Manila dispatch.
There is an exodus of politicians
from Manila, as the election law re-
quires a residence in the provinces
for candidates for the Assembly.
The government party has recogniz-
ed as the national progressives.
Dominador Gomez and some promi-
nent Filipinos have formed the union
national party out OF several imme-
date independence organizations.
The union nationals recognize the
present inability OF the Filipinos to
carry on self-government, but ask
that a definite policy be declared to-
ward the Philippines, having in view
