Modern Marriage.

Marriage may once have been COM
parable to a profession. 1t is not now.
1t may once. for woman, have been
comparable to slavery. 1t is not now.
Marriage, in fact. cannot be classed
with anything but itself. It is mar
riage and nothing else--a wonderful
mixture of experiences and duties on
many different planes So far as its
spiritual demands 60, It may require
everything or nothing, 1t, may of ne
cessity I'LL her life or leave it empty.
To call 1t a profession il to blur its
meaning. for 1t ID much mere than this
and much less.

1t makes one who knows sick and tired to
hear such expressions as the following: las go.d
land as there is in the South Good corn for the
South Good livestock for Mississippi" and
other like expressions The intimation is that
there are better things somewhere else This is
not true The South even Mississippi contains
the richest land in the world. We can and do
make good crops of everything we try. There is
as good stock here as anywhere The proof of
these assertions is easy. Twelve Southern states
containing about one-third of the population of
of the United States furnishes about three-ffths
of all the exports, and this is not considered a
manufacturing section either. The South is Uncle
Sans big asset. Get the notion out of your head
that there is anything better anywhere. We
have the best and that best is getting better
every day.

Mt. Sterling Warehouses Are Now
Receiving Highest Prices in
Their History.

The three warehouses in this city
have been receiving splendid prices
for their offerings the last few
days and all records for this mar
ket have been smashed. The farm
ers who have been unable to get
their crops to the market sooner are
indeed fortunate as the weed is now
bringing considerable more than it
did week or ten days ago.
1t is claimed that statistics show
that the crop is many million pounds
short this year and that the manu-
features are trying to outbid each
other for the crop to meet their re-
quirements. We urge the farmers
of this section to bring their tobacco
to the Mt. Sterling market, there is
not a better one in the state and
your crop is always handled prompt
ly, honestly and efficiently. a.
