TO THE HONORABLE
 SONS OF REST

It becomes my duty to inform you that our founder of the Sons of Rest, Dr. R. l.. Hinton, has returned from the Grand Lodge at St. Louis. He reports grand time. The meeting was one of great enthusiasm. Brc. Hinton had an interview with the great Artic explorer, pr. Fredrick Cook, which none but the pure in heart could do. Our next meeting will be held in Philadel- phia, at which time we expect to freeze out every organization in opposition to us, if there be any. That is the only way business is being carried on now-freeZe out the other fellow.
 1910 will be a year of guessing with the farmers and business people. God has chosen the weak vessels of this world to confound the mighty. The boil veevil has put up the job. The farmers don't know how to shape their next crop, and the merchants, spectators, capitalists and com bires are going to try to induce us farmers to plant another large cotton crop on the strength of the present price paid for cotton. We are slowly but surely getting onto our job. One notch in cot ton and two notches in the prices of the commodities of life will only reduce us to serfdom and slavery as 1t has already done. Go slow, Brother, say nothing, just act. We have a good per cent of the smart aleXs guessing now. The Union. the non-Union and the Sons of Rest are Co., operating now. Do not be in- duced into another cotton crop, only as a surplus. The prices paid for cotton now, and higher prices will follow, is from a natural cause. same as eggs at Christmas time.

 ting drunk and putting on style. As to politics don't know what to recommend. There is no diff ference between a capltallstlc
 government, as is past general ing in the Unit ed States to day,
 and a monarchical government.
 The Democrats work in conJunc-
 tion with the Republican party.
 The Socialists say us poor white
 trash will soon be renters, that
 only 20 per cent of the farmers
 own their land. The Socialists want to fix it so we can neither
 own nor rent land, and which in the name of common sense IS the best?-I give 1t up.
 I am truly sorry that every young man, and old one, too, has not been able to read Ancient Medevial and Modern History of
 Mankind. Man is said to be the
 superior of all others of the
 animal kingdom, but he did the
 saying. But you will conclude
 as I have after reading the histo- ry of man his nature, manner and customs for the past 4,C00 years. He has, as a rule, never
 exercised much more sense than horse, in the way of good horse sense. A horse will not chew tobacco, drink Whiskey, spit on the floor in church, shoot pistols on the way home from church. smoke cigarettes and blow the smoke in a lady's
 face. Did you know that woman was the only means by which
 man could he developed. She IS
 the only being that man will pay any attention to. Now IS the time for her to make history.
 She can say to man, 'go'', and
 he goes; come" and he comes
 and he will not be long about it.
 If she knew what 1 know, she
 would not be long about 1t.
 Isis was the first practicing phy- sician, thousand of years ago.

 her power politically is just to announce her platform and ask for votes. Woman is the only

it may come in tablets and cap- sules as I have before stated. The speculative world is trying to educate us to believe that we buy too much and that the food we use is injurious to us. They talked us out of using pure hog lard and we are now using pure Snowdrift Hogless Cotton-seed Cooking Oil. That is why cotton seed bring such fancy prices, we pay the expenses. Now the other fellow has got in sympathy with us. He tells us coffee is a breeder of dyspepsia, liver com- plaint, nervous prostration and heart failure and gets up some certificates of some dead people and advises us to quit coffee and use 'possum' food. It Is a wonder that such people do not die with enlargement of the heart.
 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. The poor that have a spirit are so dull that you can tell it. It is a pity our druggists did not know of the coming high price of cottonseed. Those of us who use Olive oil, Linseed oil, Machine Oil, Hair oil and almost all other kinds of oil will have to pay for it another year.
 It IS a great pity for a man who has only a history of his own life and those immediately around him. He has nothing to go by. Unless we can read the history of the past we cannot tell what kind of governments was best for the people at large. Education is the only means by which we can suppress ignorance and crime. The hardest propo- sition to the truth loving mind got up against was getting the truth about nations of great an- tiquity. The next hardest is to surpess ignorahce. That IS why I did not become a Son of Rest in an early day. The man that came in at the eleventh hour got just the same. The best form of government that ever existed for all people was at ancient Athens and Rome, when every thing was Democratically man. aged by the people and not the few.

OF the parallel streets. but that in the

no parallel highway or one near enough

To prevent exposure Of meats and other
foods In the streets or IN open markets
Health Officer woodward has recon-
mended that the present regulation be
amended.
The need for such an amendment was
shown a few days ago. when Judge
Mullowny. in the Police Court, dismissed
a case under the ordinance. He held
that the section relating to the exposure
Of food did not apply to grocerymen
transporting meat from the market to
the store before it was sold to the Gus
toner. Judge Mullowny suggested that
the section should be amended so it
would hold any one exposing such foods
In the streets.
