man of reputed wealth and influence
in the distant city whence he hailed
who came to the relief of the devout
clergyman.
'Ill buy hymn books for the

ed the offer carefully, and finally, aft
er a vestry meeting, it was decided
that there could be no possible sin in
accepting such an offer The donor
was a man of such integrity and char.

We'll, the books came down from
the city, 100 of them, finer than any
thing the people had dreamed of.
TSey were still very new at Christ
mas-in fact, had never been in use
until that day. In great pride, the
parson called out the number of the
good old favorite Christmas hymn:
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
The congregation, equipped with
their new books, turned the pages rap.
idly and were ready. The organ
struck up the tune that everybody
knew. And Justify sang the people,
gazed steadfastly on the written
words:
Hank the herald angels sing,

The parson listened, looked, brush.

But it passed. Then on into another
verse they plunged:
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Two for a man, and one for child"

coughed, closed his book, and the serv-
Ice broke up in confusion. Every.
body had forgot that the generous
hymn book man was interested in
patent medicine.

Our postal department in accord
ance with treaties between the
United States and European coun-
tries, accepts international mail
weighing as high as twelve pounds
in one piece, while four pounds is the
limit for mailing to points within our
boundaries. This is an unfair thing
and can only be made Fight by the
adoption OF the parcels post, which
we trust the incoming Democratic
Congress will give to the nation, as
hope for that by the expiring Repub-
lican congress seems to be evanesc-
ing. The eytortionate rates which
the old express companies exact
from the public for. the transmission
of the small, package, is a commercial
outrage, which should no longer toll
Grated. and as Uncle Sam has the
only system OF gathering and deliv-
ering packages of reasonable small
weigh, that reaches out beyond the
railroad stations, Through rural de-
livery routes) into his hands should
this business be put. Its as necessa-
rily d fatherly measure TO his chill
dren as is the transmission of the
mails proper. Lets have it.

Be Great Boon To Farmers.

A Scissorette.
We are glad to see that some of
our Southern daily papers are TAX
ing Up the fight for the parcels post.
This is one measure now before Con-
gress that would be of such immedi-
ate and decided value to the rura:
districts that no farmer car afford
to be Indifferent to it. II does not
speak much for our progressiveness
that Americans should be the only
civilized people deprived of this con
venience. That we have not had it
before now is due to The inactivity Of
the mass of farmers and to the act
i've opposition of the express compa-
MES and the merchants of the coun-
try towns. The express companies
will continue to fight it, of course.

FRAMED UP A GOOD "AD.'
How Public Attention Was Drawn to
Novel That Had Merit, by
a Frenchman.

Although the art Of advertising is
not understood in France as it is un-
derstood in England and America. the
natural genius of the French for pic
turesqueness occasionally finds vent
in very striking and very telling
modes of advertising. Here is an adj
vertisement which l saw a few days
ago in several of the Paris papers, the
Paris correspondent of the London
Express says: "a young man of 81,
good looking, and very wealthy, is
anxious to marry young lady whose
appearance and character correspond
with those of Vera in Loves Victim"
! have not given the real name of the
novel, which has had advertising
enough.
or course, the novel had a large
sale. And as 1t happens to be quite
clever book the author has reason
to be pleased with his advertisement.

Not The Profitable Way.

No man can afford to raise corn
on ridge land to raise and fatten a
hog crop. Meat mads by this meth

sorghum. peas, COOLERS, and have
Bermuda grass pasture to keep his

corn at the close. The sooner people
realize this fact the better, because
it is fact that experience has dem

With the funds in hand to build the reservoir work will be inaugurated at the earliest moment possible, and brought to speedy completion. Conservation of flood waters in the rainy seasons will assure inexhaustible supplies for all purposes, and assure com plete reclamation and cultivation of the entire Yaqui delta.

 alarming accident which, fortunate ly, was attendant with no serious results, barring the shock and a sprained ankle for Miss Baer. Near the top of the divide their horse took fright and suddenly ran up a hillside, turning over and wreCking the buggy, the horse being thrown also and tangling himself up in the wreckage. The ladies were thrown out of the vehicle, with the injury to Miss Baer noted above. On &C., count of her injury the young lady could not walk, and she remained with the wreck while Mrs. Harri- son walked to the home of Doctor Barr, about a mile from the scene of the mishap to get assistance.

DIED.

Bertron S. Orton, the infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank $. Or
ton, passed into the Great I'm
known last Sunday morning at
> o clock.
Deceased was four and half
months old and his baby ways
were so dear to the ones at home
and it was more than hard to
give him up. But ne who giveth
and taketh away, will, in his own
good time, reveal to the wander
ing soul that which now, seems
so hard to understand.
In the garden of God love, in
that land OF perpetual joy, there
has blossomed another flower
and among the songs OF the an
gels baby's voice is heard, in
carols of sweetest music to Him
who said: Suffer the little chill
dren to come un+o me. And
heaven retaineth now his spirit
Earth, the lonely casket keeps,
and the sunbeams love to lin
ger where our dear sweet Bertror
sleeps.
Our sincere sympathy goes out
to the bereaved ones in this, their
time of sorrow. May they look
to the Master, who never deals
unwisely, for comfort through thu
lonely hours of the future.
This lovely bud so fresh, so fair,
Called hence by early dawn
Just came to show how sweet a
flower,
In Paradise could bloom.
