Yet He Wished Him Well.

"Between emotionalism and Journalism
in religion" says Washington clergyman,
"there is golden mean--a reflection that
came to me upon the conclusion of my re-
marks to colored congregation in Rich
mond.
81 had invited an aged deacon to offer
prayer. 'OLord, prayed he, 'gib dis pore
brudder de eye of de eagle, dat he spy out
sin afar off. Glue his hands to de gospel
plow. Tie his tongue to de line of truf.

Alfalfa is Great.

Alfalfa is one of the greatest if not the
greatest forage and hay crop in existence,
though it takes some people long time to
find it out. There is much to learn about
growing this desirable plant, and that is
why there are many failures. Keep at it
in small way, however, until you learn
how to grow it and you will bless the day
you first heard of it. 1t is big yielder,
furnishes feed of fine quality, is a great
soil improver and is perennial. That is
a combination of good qualities that can t
be beat
Alfalfa is growing more and more in the
favor of farmers of the south Invest because
of the high prices on all bought feeds.
This hay is both hay and grain, having
practically the same composition as wheat
bran-the highest in price of all grain feeds
at this time.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-02-07
Flowers For The Sick.

When choosing flowers to send to sick
friends remember that the two necessary
qualifications are that they have only a
faint odor and that they are variety of
flowers that is lasting.
Carnations probably give more satisfac-
ton than any other flower, and the odor is
refreshing.
Roses, lilies of the valley and violets are
ali suitable for sickroom, but they do not
keep fresh very long. They will keep much
better, however, if they are removed from
the sickroom every night.
Put them in cool place and cut the
STEMS Then fill the vases with fresh hot
water in which pinch of salt has been
dissolved
This will not only make the fragrance
last, but will freshen the flowers and make
the colors look brighter
The Democratic advocate., 1908-02-07
Would Choose His Company.

In the west there lived good man who
gave up part of his time to teaching the
Indians the Christian faith. On one of his
trips he stopped at the ranch of well to
do and religious Swede and requested a
nights lodging.
The Swede disliked having a pack of
greasy Indians hanging about his place, SO,
after much hemming and having, he stated
his objections.
'Rut these Indians are Christians, my
good brother, and if you can't abide with
them for single night here on earth
how do you expect to dwell in heaven all
eternity?' inquired the indignant mission
ary.
The Swede, after thoughtfully scratch
ing his head a moment, said, "The Bible
says that in my Fathers house are many
mansions, an tank | haf separate
house."
The Democratic advocate., 1908-02-07
Compliment That Touched.

When Sir Joshua Reynolds was paint
ing the portrait of Mrs. Ellington { an en-
trancing singer in her day in the character
of St. Cecilia listening to the celestial
music on high, she took with her the great
composer, Haydn, and showed him the
picture. ''It is like, said Haydn, ssbut
there is strange mistake - "What is
that?' hastily asked Reynolds. "You
have painted her listening to the angels;
you ought to have painted the angels list
ening to her. ''Mrs, Ellington sprang
up and threw her arms around my neck, ;,
added Haydn. What woman with soul
in her would not, and have clinched it
with hearty hug?

So Called Intelligence In Animals

Now the so called intelligence of the
lower animals is largely like that of the
rills that find their way to the sea, or Of
the seed of the plants that find their proper
habitat Marsh plants find their way to
the marshes, hill plants find their way to
the hills The spores of the black knot
seem to hunt out every plum tree in the
land. The rats and mice find their way to
your new house or new barn because they
are constantly on the search for new fields.
The squirrels find the acorn grove and the
birds the cherry trees for the same reason.
Their necessities for food send them in all
directions till they hit the right spots. 1
cleared off swamp in the woodsand put a
ditch through it; in two or three years the
cattail flag was growing in my ditch.
These winged seeds from distant swamps
traversed the air in all directions, and when
the wind dropped them on the proper soil
they took root and throve; all others
vastly the greater number-camet to naught.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-02-07
An Example Worth Following.

The Country Club of Ware County was
recently organized at Waycross, Ca, for
the purpose of securing an organized move
ment for improvements, says the Good
Roads Magazine. Each member of the
club pledged himself to plant 21O trees of
some sort so that they will take root this
winter and h avethem ready for transplant
ing along the public road closest to his home
next fall. Among the members is Judge
Warren Lott, chairman of the board of
county commissioners, and he has promised
that the county will have the trees planted
next fall by the gang and replant those that
die each year. 1t is figured that 21O trees
will plant mile on both sides of the road.
John W. Greer of Waycross has been push
ing the movement.
