do not believe that Southern
people ought to seek Rockefeller 5
and Carnegie's millions for educa-
tional purposes. If they want to
give millions let them give it to the
poor and starving of their own cities.
In giving their millions to the
schools of the South, they are con-
cealing their real motive. They are
seeking to control Southern SEN
timent and get honor for themselves
QUA of it. If they furnish the mon
ey to educate the people, after awhile
our boys and girls will be reading in
their text books what great men
Rockefeller and Carnegie were.

fight life's battles with just an old

memory of such specimens OF hui
manity as Rockefeller and Carnegie.

simply wonderful the way

It's simply wonderful the way
A harvest hands gets going
You look at him one instant and
You see him calmly moving.
You wouldn' t think if forty bells
Should ring shat he would hear them
Or if ten banquets beckoned him
That he would venture near them.
He looks as whipped out as rag,
And dead to all attraction
But you want to hear the dinner bell
To see his triple action.
You want to see him double up
As if he had the collie,
And tear the field up setting out
Upon that little frolic.
1t is as if the fumes of beans
Had reached him, or the vision
OF chicken had appeared to him,
Or else that some Elysian
Mirage had shown him corn cakes, pie
Fresh biscuits, or food such as
Gods eat teased him, keeping just
Outside his eager clutches.
49,
The meadowlark will chirp and
sing. and the bumblebee will humble,
| the colt will do Highland fling, AND
the tumblebug will tumble, the call
will buck and jump for joy of simply
being loose, the droll grasshoppers
sit around and spit tobacco juice,
the luclxless tramp resume his march
and the bulldog chase and bite him
and the horsefy irritate the mule
land so ad infinitum.

Our giving away that 100 free sub
scriptions to the Agricultural paper
is giving expression to a desire we
have to furnish those Of our readers
interested in agriculture, more mat
ter bearing upon it, prepared by eX-
pert hands, than the space in our
columns would afford, hence the ar
rangement and sending out the pa
per for the mere asking to this num-
Der, as a kind of supplement to our
presen tation. Possibly we may be
able to arrange for some more of
these free subscriptions yet and we
are moved to make the effort, from
the inquiries our subscribers have
made in the matter. Our aim is to
do all we can for the advancement of
our people and this section. Our

FOR JUNE.

run JUNE.
The trimming mill-pond full of boys,
The sprlngboard and the slide,
The sly beef-chewer on the job,
And the pants securely tied,
The dripping and the tell-tale hair,
The scurry home at noon.
And then what paddy gave the drum
Not yet, but June.
The wedding and the wedding guests
The presents and the raiment,
The father proffering the bride,
And the much embarrassed claimant,
The dinner, and the shoes and rice,
The dear old honeymoon.
And Loves young dream unit! they
wake
Not yet, but June.
The end Of school, the joyous shout,
The essay and grafton.
Some samples of bad grammar by
The Board of Education.
All standing sing Aud Lang Syne''
Or some such fitting tune,
And two young men and thirty girls
Not yet, but June.
The picnic and the happy kids,
The dinner in the shade,
The scream when little johnny Smi tn
Falls in the lemonade.
The soulmates strolling hand in hand
Not married yet, but soon,
And the little red bugs at the bat
Not yet, but June.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1909-06-11

June was dedicated by the Romans
to love and marriage, and was there
fore uamed for Juno, whose expert
ence was thought to more nearly
typify that of the average married
woman than anything that had hap
pened up to that time.
Juno married Jupiter, one of the
best and most exemplary of gods,
giving him her simple trust and ali
the rope compatible with a reasona-
BILE enjoyment of lib erty though mar
ried. Nevertheless, they had not
been married long enough even to
feel sure that they were suited to
each other, when the bride made the
terrible discovery that the co-owner
of her wedding presents and the man
who was to flag the family breadwag
on had an affinity.
Fortunately, though it had proven
to be with gods as il is with men, it
was not with goddesses as it is with
women Juno had a come back COM
ing to her, ana she got buster than a
mother robin rustling worms, She
turned her husbands affinity into a
heifer, - and set Argus to watch O.
yer her as shepherd. Argus had a
hundred eyes, and do what he could,
Jupiter could not catch him asleep
all around and steal the heifer away
from him. AS last resort he sent
Mercury to Stay him, After every
thing else, Mercury told him that
Bryan was elected, and he fell dead.
Juno took the eyes of Argus and set
them in the tail of a peacock, where
we may see them any fine morning
in the country to remind us of that
oldest of domestic tragedies inseper-
able from the history Of June.
