Death of Blind Tom.

After many fables about his life
and talents, Thomas Greene Be-
thune blind TONY, the negro freak
pianist, died in Hoboken, N. j.,
Saturday, June 10. He has been
reported dead many times, but the
reports were usually followed by
contradictions, to serve in adver-
tizlng another appearance. The
real age of Tom is unknown. He
was born on a plantation near
Columbia, Ca, some fifteen or
twenty years before the Civil War.
His parents were slaves of General
James N. Bethune, and the little
black boy with the strange musical
genius took the name of his father
master.

Sweet Potatoes for Hogs.

Messrs. Editors: Much has been
written in the Gazette, urging the
farmers to make their meat and
hominy at home this year. This
advice is timely at the beginning OF
each year; for when we consider
the tremendous amount of meat sold
at ruinouS prices, on credit at that,
it seems remarkable that the meat
buying farmers do not reform and
save this big leak from The cotton
crop. Now is the propitious time
to consider this and to plan to fatten
more hogs next winter.
This can be done by resolving tc
do this: For every five or six hogs
you desire to fatten, set an acre in
sweet potato vines. Fertilize and
work them well, and you will see
that you can fatten them much
cheaper than on corn, and the hogs
will gather them too. If you have
too much cotton planted and nc
other land for potatoes, pillow uf
the grassy tcotton. 1t will be
making your meat and saving corn
next winter. The vines can be set
up to July 18th, but June is much
better for a good yield. | hope
your readers will all plant more po-
tatoeS than usual. w. B. F. Lewis,
Lewiston, La, in Farm Gazette.

no newspaper except at great dis
ances. When settler had to
have little lumber, salt or grocery
he had to 60 from thirty to fifty
miles with an OK team and be gone
from a week to two weeks or longer,

Roosevelt Pays Tactful Tribute

Judge Harmon, encouragement
in the late President Cleveland's
cabinet, attended the Cleveland
funeral ceremonies. Judge Harmon
related an incident at the funeral
which seems to have escaped gen.
eral observation.
President Roosevelt, before the
funeral, summoned the members of
the dead presidents two cabinets
into the chamber of death and deliv-
cred to them, with his characteristic
energy and force, an exquisite eu-
logy on the life and death of Cleve-
land. 1t was probably the only
eulogy preached at the funeral, and
even this was delivered behind
closed doors to men who Once were
much in the public eye.
Around the bier, with heads
bowed, stood Former Secretary of
the Interior Hoke Smith, Former
Secretaries, David R. Francis,
Henry c. Villas, Richard Olney,
John @. Carlisle, Hillary Herbert,

Hamon and others.

coffin, told of the good deeds and
the faith in which Cleveland had
died.

The Law of Obedience.

The first item in the common
sense creed is obedience.
Do your work with your whole
heart.
Revolt is sometimes necessary,
but the man who mixes revolt and
obedience is doomed to disappoint
himself and everybody with whom
he has dealings. To flavo. work
with protest is to fail absolutely.
When you revolt, why revolt
climb, get out, hike, defy-tell
everybody and everything to 60 to
hades! That disposes of the case.
You thus separate yourself entirely
from those you have have served
no one misunderstands you-you
have declared yourself.
But to pretend to obey, and yet
carry in your heart the spirit of re-
volt is to do half-hearted, slip-shod
work.
If revolt and obedience are equal,
your engine will stop on the center
and you benefit nobody, not even
yourself.
Thu spirit of obedience is the
controlling impulse of the receptive
mind and the hospitable heart.
There are boats that mind the
helm and boats that do not. Those
that don't get holes knocked in
them sooner or later.
To keep off the rocks, obey the
rudder.
Obedience is not to slavishly
obey this man or that, but it is
that cheeful mental condition which
responds to the necessity of the
case and does the thing without back
talk unuttered or unexpressed.
Obedience to the Institution =
loyalty! The man who has not
learned to obey has trouble ahead
of him every step of the way.
The world has it in for him because
he has it in for the world.
The man who does not know how
to receive orders is not fitted to
issue them. But he who knows
how to execute orders is preparing
the way to give them, and better
still-to have them obeyed.

Killing Moles.

The biographical survey of the
United States department of agri-
culture, Washington, D. G. Bull
letin No. 81, on the subject of field
mice, offers the following method
for destroying field mice, which is
also applicable in our correspond
ent's case. Besides giving several
methods for poisoning and trapping
mice, the strychnine treatment is
offered as the most satisfactory.
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia
sulphate in a pint of thick sugar
syrup and stir thoroughly; half
ounce of borax is said to keep the
mixture from molding. This
quantity Cone quartz of syrup is
enough to poison one half bushel of
wheat or corn, although if the grain
is not sufficiently wet after a
thorough string, little water may
be added. Allow this to stand
over night and if the grain is too
wet little corn meal may be added
to take up the excess of moisture.
AS this is very deadly poison, it
must not be placed around where
fowls, dogs or children can get it.
The poisonous bait can be distri-
buted along the mole runWays, by
opening them up at various inter-
walls. As this is quite common
trouble, it may be well for all of
our subscribers who are troubled
with mice or moles to send for a
copy of this bulletin and read up
on the matter very thoroughly.
1t will be sent free on application.
