The Rev. T. M. Land delivered two
very impressive sermons at this place
last Saturday afternoon and Sunday
morning.
The farmers of this section have de-
cided to sow more grain and plant
less cotton next year, and we think
this very wise idea as we are crest
believers in raising every thing we
need to eat on the farm. Every farmer
should SOW a lot OF wheat and oats;
plant more corn and less cotton, raise
all the hogs and cattle possible, and
devote all the spare time they could
to poultry. We certainly do behave
that IL every farmer would do this
there would be better timea.

Revenue Cutters to the Rescue.

The revenue cutter has been prominent
in the news during the past few days.
1t was the Seneca which picked UP the
missing third lifeboat of the steamship
Columbian which was destroyed by fire
in midAtlantic. The Seneca found this
boat, with its five survivors of the six
teen men who escaped in it, after hope
for the men had been abandoned and the
disaster had nearly faded from public
memory. 1t has been reported that this
iifeboat had drifted far out OF the steam
ship lanes, and the message which the
Seneca flashed by wireless to Halifax
thrilled the country. In the news of
yesterday it was announced that the
revenue cutter Apache had left Baltimore
to give aid to a vessel ashore near
Smiths point on the Virginia side OF the
mouth of the Potomac river. The rev.
enue cutter Onondaga had already gone
to the assistance OF the stranded craft,
but could not get close enough inshore
to pull her off. The Senate recently en-
acted a bill for the enlargement and i'm
provement of the equipment of this meri-
torious and distinguished branch of the
national service-a branch the record Of
which for useful and heroic deeds is a
brilliant one.

Dismissal of Veterans.

The plan of certain of the active
friends of the Grand Army veterans to
tight the recent dismissals of such men
from their employment in the executive
departments at Washington on the ground
of advancing years is a plan that should
be pressed to conclusion. \ test case
should make clear the rights of these
veterans of the national military and
naval service under the law of August
-. 1872, intended to protect the tenure
Of office of old soldiers and sailors whose
record for civil work is good. The re-
public has admitted and acknowledged its
gratitude in many ways to the men who
shouldered muskets for the preservation
Of the Union when its existence was
threatened and for long time in doubt
The government should deal fairly. kindly
and with marked consideration toward
these men, especially. in view of the fact
that they are growing older and becom-
ing few. The present trouble again
strongly emphasizes the need of a pen
sion retirement system, to the end that
when civil employees become old they
snail be in a measure Independent and
shall not be cast adrift because they
cannot maintain the pace set by younger
men, or because the temporary head of
an executive department or bureau thinks
that they do not maintain such pace.

Coxey.

The entry OF Gen Coxey into Wash
ington differed from his invasion Of the
capital in 1894. In that year there was
an army of considerable numbers and
there was a great deal of excitement. 1t
represented form Of agitation not so
familiar then as now. and during the in
rervening twenty years the country has
witnessed so much agitation of very
strenuous kind that Coxey demonstra-
ton, even of the former proportions.
might appear tame. Interest in the march
has not been active. either on the part
of the employed or the unemployed. The
procession today, with a drum. bugle,
three national flags carried in the column
of half a dozen privates. and the familiar
horse and buggy with the general" was
weak and thin demonstration compared
with the host or horde directed twenty
years ago by Coxey and under the direct
command Of Marshal Carl Browne. The
people on the sidewalks scarcely paused
to look at the army" as 1t passed.
The performance fell far short of the
promise. Early in the spring Coxey an
nounced that ''On April 16, my sixtieth
birthday, we start the second march from
Massillon. arriving in Washington May
