Democrat has yet been able to compile
IL, OF the men Of the town Of Paris who
are In the military service.
This 10 not given - an authentic list.
It 10 doubtless incomplete, very likely
inaccurate In some respects. The Demo.
orat would be glad to receive additions
and corrections which should be made.
Such list, correctly made and kept, II
sure to be Of value In tho future.
. With the exception Of the departure OF
Co. D of the Second Maine, now . part
OF the 1854 Infantry, the entry Of these
men into the service has been entirely
quiet, and Il 10 doubtful II many realize
how large contingent the town already
has in the various branches OF the ser.
vice.
All these men with the exception Of
perhaps two or three have enlisted In
the service since America went into the
war year ago.
Those marked with star are either
known or supposed to be on the other
side, q good part of them at the front.
and Of those in the navy, several have
already made one or more trips across.

VELVET BEANS FOR CATTLE

The feed question is being solved in
many parts of the South by abundant
yields Of velvet beans which were
sewn on a large acreage this year.
Owing to the Increased acreage In
Georgia that state alone could take
care or $1,000 to 100000 head q cattle
from states where forage IL scarce.
Large quantities Of last yenr's velvet
beans also remain on hand and are
being used extensively In feeding dairy
cattle. In tests conducted by tho Unit
ed States department OF agriculture on
the government farms At Beltsyille,
Nd. 1t was found that velvet beans
compare favorably with cottonseed
meal. producing profitable gains when
the beans are the sole concentrate Of
the ration; that combination OF corn
siiage and velvet beans forms a salts
factory ration for fattening steers for
market; that It is more profitable to
feed soaked beans than It is to grind
them; and that more beans will be
eaten II soaked before they are fed
than II they are fed dry.

at 9 O'Clock Sunday morning and the
wreckage was not cleared away until
8 o'clock Sunday night. Owing to
the spreading of the rails the mail car
and two express cars were ditched.

FITTING OURSELVES.

Perhaps the real difficulty OF fitting
ourselves into the positions Ia life 70
which we aspire IS that the cost OF
doing so is too heavy, at least in our
opinion. We are not willing 70 make
the sacrifices and endure the penal
ties which are imposed upon US by
an an-wise Providence; we think 70
step into some easily acquired place
in the sun and 10 share Its luster
through no effort OF our own, says
Charleston News and Courier Any
thing that is worth having Is worth
fighting for and this is true, perhaps,
in larger measure of the matter Of
finding our place in life than of any
other object. We must be willing to
work long and hard for the simple
joy ard satisfaction of feeling that
we have found the work for which
we are best fitted, and the sooner we
begin the search the earlier we make
our initial preparations, the wiser we
are. II we do not early realize The
Importance of fitting ourselves for the
place we hope TO fill the chances are
that we shall not do so until it is too
late to benefit US very much. Fur
thermore, experience shows that I'M
les We make earnest efforts st least
TO prepare ourselves for the serious
work of life we shall drift about in an
aimless way, cropping perhaps for a
footing somewhere but with only a
vague idea of how to effect it. We
know that we want to land some
where, but our ideas are so confused
and our efforts so inadequate that we
become discouraged and after a while
are sorely tempted to give up in de-
spair.
