The EIeur-de-lis.

The iris is supposed to be the fuer-
de-lis, or 1ower-de-luce of the French
coat of arms, but really has nothing
to do with the design, this being of
quite recent application. The origin
of the design is not known but it is
quite generally believed to represent
the head of a spear; by others the
flower of a lily, the floral emblem of
France.

Our Advantage.

1t is not so much the being exempt
from faults as the having overcome
them that is an advantage to us, it
being with the follies of the mind as
with the weeds of a field, which, if
destroyed and consumed upon the
place where they grow, enrich and i'm
prove it more than if none had ever
sprung there.

Friendship.

Friendship is a relation that defes
all the known laws of the chart of po-

analysis, defies explanation and defies
something far deeper and more abid-
ing. 1t is, when found, something to
be held sacredly as the inestimable
treasure of life, as its prOfOundest and
most potent source of inspiration.

4 few days ago several men di cussed
present day farming while gathered
about a stove in a Laurel Office One Of
the number was a man who for more
than two score wears has been closely
associated with farming in this section
He declared that farming today is not
what it was fifteen or twenty years
AGO At that time the farmers planted
to produce sufficient for their home
use and enough for market TO make IL
possible for them to secure by pur-
chase what they could not produce
themselves.
At that time a farmer seldom worked
during the Winter months. In every
cross roads store during the Winter
were found daily GATHERINGS Of men
and boys from the farm They passed
away their time with cards and games
and comment. Their Winters were their
holidays.
Today the farmer has no holiday
Where II was rated as being almost un-
lawful for a farmer TO work on Satur-
day afternoon . few years back, today
many farmers ind that even Saturdays
are only too short.
The reason for the decided change
is due to the fact that today it costs
the farmer far more to produce than
II did twenty years ago, or even ten
ahor is scarce, all implements and
other materials are high.
And still the average city man envies
the farmer. He fails to appreciate the
long chance taken, not to mention hard
work, by the farmer, when he plants

Hon. John Walter Smith and L. S.

coupling State sanatoria for colored
tubercular patients and $4,000 for

The request went to the Governor in
the form OF a letter, which also called
his attention to the fact that nearly
one-third Of the tubercular deaths in
the State are among colored people,
showing that the disease is twice as
prevalent among that race as among
the whites.
Senator Smith is so deeply interested
