A gradual change has been taking
place in the production and sale or

tsmity TO select the ears that are like
iy to yield well. according to a Press

rrr1s4inn ALI 70 God

We find it dificult to believe that
Almighty goodness can yet infiict trials
on those whom 1t loves. Why" we
say, should it please God to make
us suffer? Why could he not make
us good without making us miser-
able?" Doubtless he could, for he
is allpowerfHl; the hearts of men are
in his hands, and he can tHrn them
as he will. But he who could save
us from sorrow has not chosen to do
1t, just as he has willed that men
should slowly grow from infancy to
manhood, instead OF creating them at
once in maturity. We have only to
be silent and adore his profound wis
dom without comprehending it. Thus
we see clearly that we cannot be vir-
tuous, but in proportion as we become
humble, disinterested, trusting every
thing to God. without any unquiet con-
Germ about ourselves.

To All Lovers Of Fine Stock.

Having transferred our fine stock
to C. d. Wallace, Of Cromwell, we
think it is only just and right that
we should tell the breeders of Ohio
county something about this stock.
Mr.. Wallace has in his possession
our German Coach horse, "Heiden-
busch, No. 2S13," which we bought of
the Hartman Stock Farm, of Columbus
Ohio, in 1905, at a three-year-old
for $4,000 He has made four sea-
sons at Glendale, Hardin county, and
it goes without contradiction that he
has shown the best colts in this
county. They can net be beaten.
Mr.. Wallace also has our fine
Jack, king Alfonzo." which we
bought of j. F. Clark & Company, OF
Lexington, KY, in 1907, for $3.50. He
has made two seasons here and has
shown better mules than any jack in
this part of the county. We know it
will be to the interest of all breed
ers to see this stock before breeding
elsewhere. You can see them at c.
ID. Wallace's barn, and Mr.. Wallace
will be glad to SHOW you the stock
at any time and give you their ped
igree. Very respectfully,
