TESTIMONY TO TIE TRUTH OF
THE BIBLE.
(Cornmllnicntrd.l

What is true as to the Bible? Is
Jesus Christ IL reality? What about
Heaven? Is religion n reality? "The
things that are seen are temporal,
but the things that are not seen are
eternal" We learn OF temporal
things thru bodily contact. Christ
says "If any man will do His will he
shall know of the doctrine, whether
it be of God" This has been proven
thru all the ages. But the condition
must be complied with. Do and you
shall know. In every conversion there
is birth. a new person, passing
from death unto lifc-a change of
heart, Il change of life, change of
state. Could such things be and the
person in whom they were wrought
he ignorant? Christ said we should
know that we have passed from death
unto life. Paul said, he knew not
only that, but he gives us the time,
and the place, and the how His was
the full assurance of faith. The best
attested fact in all history is the res
direction of Jesus Christ. Accept
that and to you all revealed things
are sure and steadfast. Reject it, and
you are lost. The trouble usually is
not mental, but moral, a perverse
and wicked heart. With Ruskin, az
do not wonder at what men suffer; |
wonder often at what they lose"
Look at the vast impelling power
of faith in the heroes of old. Abra-
ham obeyed to the uttermost. 9th
eds subdued kingdoms, wrought right
eousness, obtained promises, escaped
the edge of the sword. from weakness
were made strong, waXed mighty in
fight. Women received their dead by
q resurrection. And of Stephen! a
more valiant heart, IL more loyal soul
never scaled with his blood the truth
as it is in Jesus Christ. While in the
flesh to his eyes was given to pierce
the gloom, and see Him who is in
visible.
Surely, there are plenty of brave
men, of frail women, who, if need
be, would go to the stake today for
the sake OF the Master. So, let us
not lose hope, but believe, even now,
that "ali things work together for
good to them that love God" He
lives, and the Heavens are just; the
Master is till Captain of a great un-
ccnquerablc host; there shall be a
new Heaven and new earth wherein
dwclleth righteousness. Nothing else
matters. j. w. BAKER.

"Just shake bush and that fellow

JUST FIFTY YEARS BEHIND.
{ Sandy Valley News

(Sandy Valley News.)
Those Senators who made sport OF
lion. r. IL. Witten's hog bill, on the
grounds that any town should have
civic pride enough to keep its hogs of
the streets without being forced to
do so by law, should read the follow
ing from "News of Fifty Years Ago
in the Richmond Times Dispatch:
AT a general meeting of the citi.
zcns Of Manchester. held Saturday
night last, a most vigorous protest
was entered against the proposed
fence law. Henry a. Wise made the
speech of the evening, and it is said
that his talk was on the whole-hog
order. He bittrly denounced the eff.
forts of the aristocracy to pen up the
poor mans hog"
From the above it can be seen that
we are just fifty years behind the
great city Of Richmond-so far rs
hogs and fieas are concerned.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
The Home Orchard.


Enjoy good health and luxury by
having home orchard! The orchard
and good apple house will save
selves. A home orchard should have
such varieties as will bear ripe fruit
throughout the apple season. A good
selection may be made from: EARLY
Harvest, Red June, Summer Rambo,
Fall Pippin, Grimes Golden, Rome
Beauty, Virginia Beauty, Stayman,
Winter Banana, n. Spy, Delicious
and York Imperial. Of these. about
five varieties would be sufficient.
Commercial orchards which supply
a local demand should have Sc
lection of the most popular varieties,
but one that caters to the wholesale
trade vii be. better off if only one or
two good market varieties are set.
Location is important. If planted
in low places, the fruit is more liza
BILE TO loss by late frosts. A windy
exposure leans the trees. Trees on
Northern exposures are less injured
by frosts, but the fruit is not so well
colored or favored. Home orchards,
if possible. should be near the house,
as this means saving Of steps for
tho housewife.
Good fruit can be had by grating
seedlings. Trees injured by rabbits
and mice can be saved by bridge
grating.
Shade and ornamental trees are
as much an asset to home as an
orchard. They beautify and dignity
a home; they furnish nesting place
for our bird friends; they give us
shade to rest under on hot summer
days; and protect the buildings and
animals from the winter storms. Since
we are all proud of our homes, let's
give them fair showing.
The Calf Club.
The boys who take their baby
becves to the Roanoke Fair this Fall
are going to have the time of their
lives. The N. & w. Ry. will furnish
free transportation and the Fair is
offering $3.50 in prizes. Well, if they
don't all win prizes, the Chamber of
Commerce is going to feed them at
big banquet, and take them on an
automobile ride to see the city.
Every boy should stick to his calf.
Next week we will have report of
some feeds that are being used,
and what the different calves made on
their feeds

a nong the earliest the News, Cou-

of the day when the posttoy and

of the modern news service. The

Has National Endorsement.

Every loyal Mississippian was
delighted to see that the Centennial
Exposition had received National
endorsement by act of Congress in
ordering the immense government
exhibit at San Francisco and San
Diego transferred to Gulfport and
appropriating $4,000 for housing
and caring for it. This act gave
to our exposition the stamp of
National approval.
This tremendous exhibit covers
a great range of subjects and is so
highly educational in character
that it might we'll be considered an
exposition in itself, we'll worthy of
travelling many miles to visit. A
building with not less than 10000
feet of floor space will be required
to accommodate it and a solid train
will be neces sssry for transportation
Ir is confidently expected that
within a short time announcement
eau be made that several foreign
countries will have accepted the
invitation of President Wilson to
participate, and that the Exposi-
ton will be to a great extent inter-
national in character. Plans to
this end are being put into execu-
ton with the anticipation of favor
able results.
Mississippi is great state, peo.
pied by great citizenship, and is
entitled to a representation second
to none, despite the fact that there
are some who have doubt as to
our ability to design and place
into execution an exposition that
will be credit to the state and
nation.
The earnest interest and Co
operation of all our people viii
make of this the greatest event in
the century and fitting celebre

interest and co operation will l'y
