FARMERS AND PARCEL POST.

PARTNERS NNlS FHnSGG FOoI'
The fact that the parcel post has no,
a; once brought into the cities 4 del
uge OF country produce and downfall
in the cost OF living isn't reason for
Encouragement. The growth OF good
habit takes time.
You remember the story OF trolley
freight. 1t was to work u miraculous
revolution; 10 bring producer and CON
sumner together so intimately that the
mlldloman would have to take TO the
woods. Well. It didn't. There was ~
miracle. but the trolley freight has
grown into a useful public convent
ence. People would not do without ii,
There is no scarcity of packages by
parcel post from the cities into the
country. That is because in the cities
business is organized and quick to
pounce OIL each new opportunity. Long
before II became effective tradespeo'
pie by thousands had figured out care
fully how they could use the new pos
tai facility to start mail order trade
or extend it.
Only in spots is there in TIE country
an organization OF rural interests in
any way parallel. Very largely the
farmer is still going ii alone.
The parcel post will not reach Its
fullest growth until country life, as
we'll as city life, is organized and until
there is in each rural community some
one-an energizer, civic and social
revivRlist. a leader. in way a boss
whose business 1t is 10 make ii work
at top speed.

TREE CROPS VS.. WHEAT CROPS

TREE CROPS VS.. WHEAT CROPS.
II what J. Russell Smith, professor OF
industry at the University OF Pennsyl-
yanla, says, is true. West Virginia is in
the very forefront OF agricultural pro
sress. According to the professor the
world in general, and the United States
in particular, has been making mis-
take during the last few centuries in
planting grain instead of tree crops.
Trees, he holds in an article in Har:-
per's magazine. are more productive in
the end, build up instead Of exhausting
the soil, and require only a fraction
OF the labor in harvesting. The very
fact that ground must be especially
prepared for grain blowing is proof, In
his opinion, that the whole grain fam,
lily is composed OF weaklings. AS
proof OF this novel assertion he points
10 tho chestnut and olive orchards OF
Italy and the acorn orchards Of Spain,
many OF them yielding per acre as
much as the wheat fields OF the Uni
ted States. The wheat grows on the
richest and most tillabIc soil in the
United States, while the orchards oc-

jewellers.
In this country the white man for
two centuries has been cutting down
orchards 10 make fields. To this fact
Prof Smith traces the agricultural de-
cline of New England, fitted by nature
for nuts and fruits, but pushed beyond
its possibilities when asked to yield
grain. The whole future Of this sec

A BoWlder Falls.

|. Writes our Carrollton Corps mem- bers: From MT. c. E. Bobo your cor respondent has learned the following particulars of horrible accident which occurred some place on War Eagle, in Madison county: One night last week three parties, two of them brothers, went out hunting. They stopped un- der large overhanging rock, built a fire, and engaged in card-playing for pastime. Presently one of them went out to get some wood to replenish the fire. Just as he had gotten from un- der~ She rock, it burst asunder with a report like that of pistol. He yelled to his comrades, Run. the rock is falling!" And it came with terrible crash, burying beneath it the two men. By the time the surviving man could procure help it was daylight. When the huge rock was removed ghastly sight presented itself. From appear ances one of the men had apprehended the danger in time to try to save his life, as he was lying with his face downward near the edge of the rock. The other, with the cards still in his hands, had been crushed down where he sat My informant did not know the names of either of the men.

A Display of Senatorial Muscle

The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Sena- tor Clayton of Arkansas, left for his native heath last night During the winter he has boarded at hotel called the Congressional, kept by a man named Sanderson, a purveyor of bad whiskey and dyspepsia. Clayton called for his bill, and being charged bang up price he objected to some of the items. Sanderson told him he could make no reduction, whereupon Clay ton said it was outrageous, and he wouldn' pay it. Sanierson then said if he was gentleman he would pay it, but as it was he need not pay it at all
 After some other words Clayton said he would pay the bill, and taking out a roll of money w tn one hand Che hav- ing lost his left arm in the war;, began counting out the money. While he was doing so, Sanderson said some thing about CIayton's family giving him good deal of trouble. Upon this, Clayton inquired "Havn't I always conducted myself like gentleman" "Yes, :" replied Sanderson, "but I can't say as much for your wife or family" Clay:on who is naturally impulsive, thereupon, and without fur ther words, leC fly his right dexter, but failed to hit, Sanderson lodging as he struck out Clayton then sprang over the bar, and seized whisky bot tie, struck S;nderson over the face and head with it several times. He then dropped the bottle, and pressing him down with his right arm hit him a number of thumps with the stump of his left Friends interferred, and Clayton was induced to come outside the bar. Befere he did so, however,
 he told Sanderson that he allowed no man to speak disrespectfully of his wife or family. Sanderson denied hay ing done any thing of the kind, and said he had stated that Mr. Clayton $ servant had given him trouble. Mr..
 Clayton then paid his bill and left.
