How dear to our heart is the steady

money and does it quite gladly. and
casts round the office halo Of cheer.

our people all like it-In fact, we al
think it help and need" How wei

Think This Over.

When newspaper gives you lot
of free advertising in order to boom
some concert or entertainment in which
you are interested, keep track of the
lines that are printed week by week
and multiply that number by the regu
lar advertising rates of the paper Com
pare the results with the actual money
value of any favor that you get from
any other business concern Then take
into consideration the fact that adver-
tising and circulation are the only two
things that newspaper has to sell.

out; postage stamps at the post office
to help the postmaster out; buys bot
tie of pain killer at the drug store to
help the druggist out; pair Of socks
Of the clothier to help him out, and we
expect that fellow will die some day
just to help the undertaken and the en-
tire community out.-Ex.

Sudan Grass.

The Sudan grass is highly spoken Of
as hay crop for eastern Colorado but.
so far AS we are informed. no test has
been gwen It in Phillips county.
II has been tested in Texas, New
Mexico. Oklahoma and in some parts Of
Colorado and the report Is Of yield Of
Il ton per acre in the driest year and In
god years AS high ms three and four
cuttingf In single season one ton per
acre FOR each cutting.
The directions given for planting and
harvesting are AS follows:'
"Sudan grass should be planted In rows
thirty six inches apart, dropping single
seeds six to eight inches apart In the
row. 1t should be given shallow cult
walton until II shades the ground. The
largest yields for the season are sccur.
ed when each crop is cut Ms soon ns
the plants come In bloom. In the Tex.
sn Panhandle. this year. the second
crop was ready to cut thirty fve days
after the first crop was harvested. The
best quality Of hay Is secured by cut.
ting the plants while they are In fell
bloom. /, may be cut with mower or
scythe and cured In large cocks or cut
with grain binder and the bundles
cured in shocks like wheat"
The seed is quoted pretty high yet ex
eept for experiments, 81 per N. but II
would certainly pay our farmers to buy
enough seed at that price To test this
grass for feed purposes In our county,
Give Il fair test for. from what il
claimed for the Sudan grass In some
parts Of castern Colorado. there il no
doubt whatever hut that Il will prov, n
valuable grass for hay.

ANOTHER BELIEVER IN DOMES-
TIC MISSION WORK.

Dear Sir: I have been a reader Of
your Jeffersonian a long time and [
can not find words to tell you how
much I appreciate the way you go
after the Foreign Mission fellows,
and hypocritical grafters. By way
of showing you my high appreciation
of your noble work, l am sending
you list of thirteen names, for The
Jeffersonian, with also money order
for same, and will try to send more
subscribers as fast as l can get them
up. If we had more men as fearless
as Mr. Watson, and if there were
more men that would fight for what
they believe to be right with the
courage and the independence that
Mr.. Watson has, there would be
fewer crimes to go on our records
and fewer successful attempts to
corrupt the public. How mastery
has been Mr.. WatsOn'S defense Of our
state, our courts, our laws, and our
people. Will some one kindly give
me the name of one Baptist Preacher
that believes in this foreign mission
board, that defended poor fatherless
Mary Phagan. Also kindly give me
the name of one Baptist preacher,
that will tell the congregation, when
he is taking up the collection, for
foreign missions, just how all the
money is appropriated, and for what
Durpost it is used. Now brethren [
want some more information from
the mission board, why is it that eight
associations in the state Of Georgia,
has cut loose from the state mission
sion board, and so many officers and
big salaries, and get on some biblical,
plan for your mission and you will
find that you will get along better in
the mission of bringing souls to our
Lord and Savior. With best wishes
/ am,
Yours truly,
r. J. MCBRIDE.

ALL HONOR TO THE END.

Dtar Sir: Dispatches appearing in
the New Orleans papers indicate that
the court so limited the issue that it
was as near to being a peremptory
instruction to the jury to find a YER
dict of guilty as could possibly have
been given.
However, am disappointed that
the entire jury failed to rise equal
to the great opportunity presented,
of declaring the independence of the
jury and of it's undoubted right to
disregard such charges as those given
by the court, and to exercise the un-
doubted right of a jury as judges of
the law and the evidence, in such
cases
All honor to the Independent, fear
less and unpurchasable ten who stood
for the right. May their tribe in
crease. So say we all.
Yours sincerely,
w. A. SHIPMAN.
