THE MOUNTAIN

Why cannot I ascend that mountain
That before me ever. stands
Up against the calm blue twilight,
Bound with snowy bands!
Let, OH let me thither hasten!
Let me Chamber to the brink
Of that mountain; there enrapturec
I can rest and think.
Think There is no more to wish for;
I nave gained the gaol / would:
And where not another footprint
Marks where man has stood,
Where no mortal yet mas trodden;
Where %perchance none else may tread.
/ can cry, Yes, I am equal
To the mighty dead! 81
"Fool!" doth cry the answering Spirits
"Have no other snow heights been,
Other mountain creSts. ~unconquered,
Mightier, though unseen
peace, nor seek the cliffs too rashly.
Be thy duty, to fulfil.
Say with Christ. Yes. I am ready,
Lord, to do Thy will,
'Should thy weakness reach that summit,
Nothing brighter would there be;
But more mountains, dim and distant,
Stretching to the sea!
Zone short life is insufficient
Earth's rough path to. safely climb;
Look to Christ that He may lead tlee;
Faltering child Of time.

Other souls to aid and bless,
And. in righteousness possessing,

THE CALL OF THE FARM.

Perhaps one of the best and wisest
philanthropies that could be under
taken would be the institution of an
intelligent and systematic campaign
for stemming the human tide that is
flowing in so large numbers from the
farms to the cities, leaving the farms
behind to go to waste and crowding
still more human atoms into already
congested centers of population where
the struggle for existence is sharp
and the rewards of mediocrity limit
ted. 1t seems strange, when one looks
about him at the pursuits of the city
dweller of the poorer and middle
class and the scant returns he man
ages to wiring from his pursuit, that
1t should be ever necessary to per-
suade him to course so obviously to
his advantage as would be removal to
the soil. And nowhere on earth are
the opportunities of the farmer great
er than right here in the South, right
now. It is interesting in this connec-
ton to note what was recently SAID
on this subject by A. D. Shamel, a
corn expert in the employ Of the gov
eminent agricultural department and
the owner Of large farm in Iowa.

THE DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS.

Home and its protection is the
safeguard Of all government.
That citizen who has the love of
home and fealty to home interests
IS worthy representative of COM
monwealth. It is the mass Of such
men that are the backbone Of any
community, and, figuratively, the
mainstay and the rock upon which
the nations are founded. He, who
lives in community and fails to
support the public institutions ana
does not assist in the upbuilding Of
industries, that add to the great
ness of that community, is like an
alien. While he lives in one place
his heart ia in another He is not
the ideal citizen, for he is not in har-
mony with those who are his neigh
bors. It 10 the duty Of every resident
of town or community to do his ut
most to advance its interest. By do.
ing this he not alone assists him
self, but his neighbor, his town, his
country, his state and nation.-Pal-
mer Rustler.

fly existence in the rented flats OF
the city. They have found the real
romance Of living in the open world
surrounded by the works of nature.
Retiring from the farm marks an
age of more than ordinary Importance
to the man who has developed a
homestead. 1t signifies the closing OF
an eventful career in search Of some
thing upon which to exist in his de-
Ginning years. 1t is the place for the
erection Of a monument to success.
But to arrive at point in life when
the farmer may retire upon his own
farm and receive the benefits of city
life is something new in the work OF
agricultural advancement. That can
be done by building on a sure foun-
dation. The farmers Of Kittitas
county have planted their acres to al
falfa and timothy. Those crops pro-
duce annual incomes, from the hay
marketed. Such incomes are suf1-
cient to enable the owners Of good
tracts to retire and enjoy the fruits
Of their labors. The lesson is to get
hay farms and hold the muntil they
become permanent income payers

RETIRING ON TIE FARMS.

The Ellensburg Localizer publishes
an interesting story illustrating the
possibilities of agriculture in that
fertile valley of Kittitas. It tells Of
many farmers who have installed in
dividual lighting plants in their
homes. They have cast away the old
methods of carrying about lamps and
lanterns, and introduced the modern
acetylene works. In every instance
the plants represent numerous lights
for the homes, barns and outbuild-
ings. In this respect the farmers
have brought the city conveniences to
their homes, and actually retired to
easier lives on their own farms. Their
children are more contented, and
peace and family prosperity reign
on the old homestead.
A new era has dawned on the 40
ricultural districts Of orr country. It
brings sunshine instead Of shadows.

OUR COTTON LETTERS.

No doubt about it, that the recent
panic was made to order, on Wall
street for the purpose of bearing
down the price Of cotton. IF this is
not true, please tell just why this
thing did not come off until just at
the right time to force the weak cot
ton on the markets at ruinous prices?
Henry Grady said that cotton was
a fool; but we are Of the opinion that
men that put too much faith in cotton
are the fools who are now passing
through perhaps the toughest trials
of their experiences with more cotton
than they are able to hold easily.
Several men are selling corn, pork,
wheat and oats to pay their debts
with in the Carolinas and Georgia,
and holding on to their cotton like
grim death to dead nigger."
Boys, keep cool and don't waver;
for it is said that the darkest hours
of the night are just before day. The
water Is deep and may get up to your
nose, but hold your breath and wade
on clear over, for the water and way
are clear and the bottom is firm.
Beyond a doubt
Beyond doubt there is an attempt
among some Of the officials of the
Union to suppress some information
Of vital interest to the welfare Of the
Union from its members. This we
condemn as an unfair act for the
members, the Union should hear both
sides Of all questions or they will not
be in position to do justice to all and
thus defend the equitable principles
of the Union.
ALI such attempts to suppress in
formation from the membership of
the Union, and going out on a still
hunt for personal interest and ag-
grandizement, will react against
such individuals when the light Is
turned on to them.
We are in possession Of the evil
dence to establish every allegation set
forth in this communication and will
turn it into the Union at the proper
time and place.
