A Practical Explanation of Satisfactory
Results.

Mer Rouge Democrat: Two negroes
met OH the street last Saturday. One
said to the other: my cotton crop this
year was almost a failure; only made
two bales. Yet am contented, out of
debt and going to try for better luck at
cotton next year"
The other negro said: How did you
keep out of debt on two bales of cot
toni"
The reply was: 81 raised by own meat
and done it with one SOW that L kept
near the house. She raised me ten pigs
last year. I made corn enough to feed
my mules, bread for me and my family
and to fatten ten hogs. made forty
nine gallons of ribbon cane syrup. l
made sweet potatoes enough to do me.
I save twelve bushels of peas for eating
on my table. I had turnips in spring
and fall. | had .co1lards in the winter
and my wife made I've honiny during
the fall and winter; and, niger, look at
me, do | look like | been living on half
rations? My two bales of cotton made
me, with the seed, $I6o, and I gave one
fourth of it for rent on land, and my
store account was only SOS. OF course,

God that the boil weevils learned me to
raise at home the things | used to buy
from the store"

Governor Sanders will issue Christmas
gifts in the shape of pardone for the
following: Joseph Martin, Erskine

dons for twenty-five convicts have been
approved by the Board Of Pardons, and
need only the approval of the Governor

craes little for the refusal, as he es-

The Woman's Home Mission Society
of Noel Memorial church held its regu-
lar business meeting on Monday, De
cember IL, at 3 80 pm. The devotional
service was led by Mrs. Smart. The
meeting opened by singing HE Is Able
to Deliver Us" Mrs. d. B. Bryant or
ganist. The leader read for a scripture
lesson the 18th chapter of John, and
then called on Mrs. A. w. Baird for
prayer. Readings were given from Our
Homes by two of the members. The
second number Our Campaign for Our
New Magazine" was urgent as the three
missionary publications, Our Homes,

Looking Forwards are to be merged
into one magazine. The ladies will re-
member that Our Homes never con
tanned any advertisements. Since the
general conference placed the foreign
i and the home mission societies under
the board Of missions, the gentlemen on
the board are quite sure that the new
magazine will not be a success without
advertisements, but by dint of persua-
sion (and likely the weight of the fact
that Our Homes was a success without
Iads) the ladies gained permission to is
sue the new magazine without ads en-
tirely for the benefit of missions. Mrs.
A. L. Marshall will be the editor and
wishes the subscribed assistance of her
sisters. Mrs. John M. Muller, the agent
for Our Homes, is anxious to receive
orders.
The leader, Mrs. Smart, read from her
home paper, Leesyille, La, an account
Iof work well done by the LeesviIle
Home Mission Society, which certainly
was encouraging. Although Mrs. Smart's
affection seems to cling to her home she
is now resident of Shreveport and
member of our society.
The president, Mrs. A. w. Baird, took
the chair and the business session began
by the reading of the minutes by the
secretary, Mrs. Emily G. Hicks, who
also read the report ent to the confer
ence. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
our able pastor, Rev. ]. G. Smelling, was
removed to Carrolton church, New Or
leans, La. The work of Rev. ]. G. Smell
ing in building UP the congregation of
Noel Memorial church has been as a
harvest in the field Of the Lord. Mrs. J.
G. Smelling has thrown her heart into
the work and her charming presence
will be sadly missed, especially in the
mission societies. 1t is with no degree
Of felicity that congratulations are sent
to the members of Carrolton church, in
giving the services of Rev. ]. G. Shell
ing and family who carry with them the
best wishes of all who knew them.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs. G.
II. Griffin, was fine in all directions The
report of the chairman of Baird's class
banquet, Mrs. John M. Miller, was lis
tened to with great interest and showed
her executive ability and no one won
dered the banquet was a success.
AS Christmas comes on apace some
attention was given to the date; and
then the society adjourned to meet on
fourth Monday in December. X.

London, Dec. lot is thirty years

sixteen being without rain. The farm

areas of territory are SO inundated that
fve-barred gates are covered with wa

is twelve feet deep. In many villages
houses have been flooded and the resi-

their dwellings, The outlook in the
Thames valley is grave. The river has
risen ten inches in the Henley district
