prietor finds he cannot longer see
to every detail of paper making.

hired. then a bookkeeper and stem
ographer, and to each is assigned
certain tasks, which they must be
depended upon to do right. The town
becomes a city and the local paper
becomes daily. Instead OF the pro-
prietor and two or three helpers, it
now takes twenty or more people to
get out the evening daily. The pub
Usher no longer gathers news, nor
writes it, nor does he always see
what goes into the sheet, until after
it is printed. All these things are
done by hired help. Most always
they are done right. sometimes they
are not. 1t depends on the faith
fulness, the ability and the careful
ness of his assistants. he only has
time to direct. and keep the machine
in motion with as little friction as
possible. And. my farmer friend,

The Cane Crop.

From the Louisiana Planter:
Since the September storm idea.
weather has prevailed for the cane
crop Id that II al once became and
continued TOO cool to permit much
vegetation coming about from The
contact Of fallen cane with che
ground and also has appreeiably held
back the tendency to terminate al
the eyes on the part of the stalks
broken off at the tops. However,
from the viewpoint of the planter
who desires that his crop put on
added growth usual to the latter halt
Of September and the first part OF
October, the temperatures were toe
low to suit, but the end of the cur.
rent week brought d perceptible rise
in the murcury column, which it IS to
be hoped does not come as a fore
runner Of rain, for the doWnpoqr OF
the Goth ult. furnished all the mois-
ture the soil stands in immediate
need Of.
It is observed that since the big
blow which Frustrated cane every
where, the crop has tended to right
itself to a degree that is surprising
where the cane was large in size il
quickly assumed, with the favorable
weather following, the usual straight
bend in the top part, and the smaller
sized cane is approaching fairly close
to the vertical again; TO see how
wonderfully the crop has Strengthened
out, it is hard to conceive the condi,
tion of fairness In which it was placed
less than a fortnight ago.
With the highly favorable weather
allowing rapid progress being made
in the preparing Of land, blowing il
the order of the day everywhere, ant
planting Of cane was done during
the week by many, particularly By
those who desire to utilize theil
worst broken cuts Of the D. "a seed
ling. As whole the weather en-,
joyed since the storm has been o.
the made-to-order kind, it proving
such as is calculated to minimize tbt
effect Of the prostration Of the croI
by the hurricane, and there il now
distinctly brighter feeling among th'
sugar planting fraternity as to TIL
outcome of the approaching harvest

In speaking Of the lecture Mr.. Ed

TO me- said Mr.. Hopkins, athe
laost interesting part Of the lecture
was the story Of Grants taking
charge Of the Northern army after all
Other generals had failed TO defeat
Lee. The wide scope of Grants
army Of 10000 men was wonderful.
From the trans Mississippi to Virgin.
10 Grant had his troops placed. From.
the Battle OF the Wilderness to Pet
eFsburg when the fighting lasted
many days was wonderful. Grant
had 1850 men and Lee 1000 and at
the end Grant had lost more men
than Lee had mustered under him."
