FORTY YEARS AGO.

Scythe blades were used to cut grass
40 years ago, but now moving machines
are the rule because they do the work
cheaper, though they cost more.
Sewing machines make the sewing cas-
Ter or the housewife, though they cost
sometnlng. Yet it is best to save the wife
the endless job of sewing by hand.
Forty years ago, cooking was done in
a fireplace, now while it costs something
nearly every home has cooking stove.
Our pillow tools are better than they
were 40 years ago.
Everything has changed except our
roads.
Shall we continue TO pull through axlr
deep mud in the winter and dodge holes
and bitches in; the summer?
Well, hardly; the day has come when
the people of this beat have an oppor-
ltuaity to~rid themselves of the costliest
bill they have to pay-broken vehicles,
jaded horses, small loads and slow time
made, and will secure good highways
by selling long time bonds, with easy
payments to secure them.

WHAT MADE JACKSON GROW 4?

The capitol city of Mississippi is CEN
traly located, with fine rail road facilities,
and surrounded by splendid farming
country, but with all her advantages her
population was les than 5000 in 1900.
Unfortunately her affairs were domino
ted by few rich people whose fortunes
made them independent and they hated
to pay for any Improvements that would
cost small sum of their annual income.
They did not care for an increase in
values as they had enough and cared
not for their less fortunate brothers we'll
fare. X
The masses stood it as long as they, could,
and then said to them through. their
elections that Jackson should and would
have the benefit of better streets, side
walks and other things essential to the
growth and prosperity Iof that city, with
the results that the holders of property
there have seen values rise with leaps and
bounds, and, now Jackson's population
is over $1,000. The growth was remar-
kable for a city that was badly stunted by
so years of bad masters, but has been
fed with the food of progress, seasoned
with the necessary grit for good digestion,
for only ten years, and the whole country
applauds the good word of the pro-
gressives.

We are pleased to be in a position to
state with positivenesS that a Touring
mill be established in Lexington as soon
as assurance is given that sufficient
acreage in wheat will be planted with
in radious of fifteen or twenty miles
to justify the venture. A resident of this
city who has served his apprenticeship in
a Touring mill and knows every detail of
the business, from A to lizard, will put
up the mill, feeling confident that it will
prove profitable investment and rebound
to the benefit of the community. 1t is
now up to the farmers to plant the wheat,
which can be grown with ease and yields
as mucn or more per acre here than in
the much Wanted wheat belt of the north
west. The quality is of the best, and
eminently suited for -four. 1t is hoped
that every farmer will plant number of
acres to wheat next year-there will be a
Touring mill here to grind their wheat
for them. The high price of -four should
be an incentive to the cultivation of wheat
for by so doing the Mississippi farmer
would be able to snap his fingers at the
-four trust, as he can every trust if he
will but raise everything at home. We
suggest that every farmer within Lex
ingtQn's expansive trade territory decide
at once how many acres he will plant to
wheat next session and advise this Office,
so that definite information can be OBJ
tanned .4as1t to the amount of wheat that
will sbedgrown. The proposed Touring

Because man has enough of land and
money to be able to get along the old way,
and does not feel the need of keeping
abreast of the times, is no reason the less
able brother should fail to do his part in
upbuilding the country for his own and
children's good because his neighbor says
that taxes will be higher. The land owner
of 5000 to 10000, or 10000 acres will

EVEN NOW, A WORLDWIDE RE-
LIGION.

Recently addressing his Bible class at
the Euclid Avenue Baptist church, in
Cleveland, Ohio, John D. Rockefeller re-
vamped on old prophecy by recasting a
common merger, SO to speak, of the
worlds religions.
With no intention whatever at hippancy,
it may be suggested that many of the rea-
sons making logical combinations in bus
mess might operate to the benefit of a
combination in religions.
The commercial combine eliminates
or minimizes, ineficiency. The religious
merger ought to make progress in that
direction. The commercial combine les
sens waste motion and misspent energy.
Both of those features in the religion
of the day need correction.
Above all, the commercial combine in
PRODUCES the virtues and advantages of
organization at their height, and it is
sufficiently apparent that back of coh.-
sive organization is one of the deficiencies
of moral religion everywhere today.
That said, the parallel ends and the
difficulties begin.
After all, however, have we not today
a world-religion more efectual than the
sum-total of the. new-fangled panaceas
handed dwon by college professors or
doctrinar;es?
What of the new spirit of democracy
and equity stirring through civiliza-
ton? Speaking crudely, we call it in
America the Square deal" Wherever
men have a written or spoken language.
it is defined in some form or another as
the golden rule" ~ .
And, essentially and indisputably, the
square deal and the golden rule are foun-
ded on the tenets handed down by Jesus
of Nazareth. - '.''.'i 80 .'.l.e. s.
Reduced to a common, denominator, the
majority of the, creeds in this and other
countries teach the same broad fundamen-
tails. They encourage belief in life af-
ter death. They instill proper living here.
They enjoy faith, hope, charity. They
materiailze the Masonic law as well as the
Sermon on the Mount-at least, they aim
eventually in those directions.
Men may quarrel over classification and
theories in religion as in politics; at
bottom, they are tolerably close together.
In view of which fact, is physical de-
nominational merger SO imperative, after
ALL save for the possible order it might
introduce into the world of religion?
