does not share, II that mother. who
has her interest at heart, does not
approve of the man OF her choice, be-
lieve me, she knows best.
She sets at work very patiently to
win her daughter over to seeing him
as she knows him to be. At last she
tries hard to consider that Il is for the
best of her to try to view him as IA
vorable as she can. This is often
done to keep peace in the family.
The result often follows that they
marry in haste and repent at leisure.
The girl who is good, afectionate
and truthful to her parent will be the
same to a husband who is fortunate
enough to win her. Love which is
built upon deceit is built upon the
quicksands-and is too treacherous to
last for a long length OF time.
Only honorable, truthful love proves
happy and enduring. What man can
trust absolutely the woman whom he
knows is false to the mother who
loves her. has faith in her and con-
hdes in her. hoping for good results?
The habit OF deceit is a fearful one,
and leads to many a woman's undoing.
One Of the poets has said and with
much truth:
oh. what a tangled web we weave
When first We practice to deceive,
1t must not be forgotten, however.
that the lover who seeks advice is
sometimes the very one who tempts
the girl to meet him and mot tell
mother A man should be honorable
In principle. and not lend himself to
such subterfuge as that OF deceiving.
Rest assured. he would be apt to hear
OF 1t accusingly after marriage, and
to be reproached for his guilt.
It Is cowardly to shift all the blame
on the woman. Often she Is penitent.
and makes up for d~eceiving by becom-
ing most truthful. The sweetheart
was inclined to deception by her low
err. He respects her p%enitence, howev-
er, as does her mother. Both have
been taught that 1t is grand to be
candid with mother.

Ought a girl, in your opinion, to de-

dislike doing SO, by evading telling
her the truth regarding her meeting

husband?

Crushed by Automobile.

Macon.-Edward Stevens, a young
man 26 years old and member OF a
prominent family, was found dead on
the road to his home, in the eastern
part Of this county, under his automo-
bile, which had completely turned tur'
tie. His collarbone, shoulderblade and
neck were broken, and his death must
have been instantaneous. Mr.. Stevens
had been in Mason to a musicale, had
then driven home, leaving Macon about
midnight. He was very popular and
a successful young prairie planter.

Why are pure-bred sheep the best
Tor mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep OF the medium grade lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Poorly bred sheep, as a rule, have
tong loosely coupled bodies with little
spring of rib and rough outline, and
are coarse and often paunchy. This
class of animals is not desirable, and
market buyers make the best of their
bad points.
A good thing to remember when
tambing time comes on: A lamb that
is so badly chilled that it appears 20
be dead. may be revived by pouring
down its throat a half pint Of warm
milk, into which a tablespoonful OF
gin has been poured. If there is no
gin in the house, dip the lamb in
a tubful Of warm water, dry 1t off with
a rough cloth and place it near the
stove. Get some YARN milk into its
stomach II possible, and in a few min.
utes it will be as frisky as ever.
A bunch Of sheep will clean up the
corntield in which the stalks are left
standing, in fine shape. They strip
off the blades and pick up every kerr
mel Of stray corr left on the ground.
The great loss of lambs is, in some
instances, due almost entirely to the
fact that the ewes are allowed to run
down and become weak before wean-
ing time.
Ewes with lamb need good attention
now. They should not be fed enough
to make them overfat, but should be
kept in a gaining condition, so that
at weaving time they will be strong
and sufficiently fleshed to supply plen.
ty of milk.
The quality Of the market lamb de-
penda largely upon the first four weeks
of its life. Given a good boost then,
he will, with reasonably good care.
prove very satisfactory at market
time.
If sheepmen will take the pains to
dip their sheep at least twice before
the winter sets in they will save much
loss from ticks and scab. This takes

Tick FIGHT Is Won.

Reports from Wilkinson county in.
dictate that another county in the state
has joined the cattle tick eradication
group. To decide the question a ref
erendum vote throughout the county
was ordered by the board OF superviJ-
ors. This vote. taken along with the
general election, gave the tick eradi-
c~ationists a victory by a margin OF 60
votes. Wilkinson is a fine stock coun-
try; a county of good pasturage and n
soil were adapted to forage crops, and
with the cattle tick once out of the
way, a profitable field OF activity will
be opened up.
