SENATOR FELTON
(SOnnet and AcrOStic)


Revered by all she rests at ease
today,
Enthroned within the hearts of
womankind;
Behind her lie the ages dim and
gray,
Entombing those who thought to
fetter mind;
Courageously she faced the daily
strife,
Coincident with life upon this
plane,
And, quick to hear the call of
drurl and fife,
Let conscience guide her woman's
heart and brain.
Forgetting not the things for
which she stands,
Erfranchised now to fill a trust
most high,
Let womankind across the world
clasp hands
To meet the golden age that
draweth nigh.
On her dear head now rests
achievements crown!
Nor shall the storms of ages cast
it down.

Worry
Tt is the fretful person who goes
wild with worry. They chafe under
the things which they cannot make
better and end up in general misery
whether at home or abroad. Inc
WORRY habit once in control Will
make the honestest Of folks very
disagreeable companions.
Sometimes they are much 10 De
pitied. Maybe they are badly treat
ed and have general cause for COM
plant. If worry could improve the
conditions under which they are
breaking down there might be sorne
good as a result of constant tnlnk-
ing about bad matters so contlnu-
ously.
But it not only fails to help Mat
ters-it gets on the nerves of the
family and perhaps of the neighbors
If it is the overWorked wife and
mother it is deplorable, because 1t
becomes infectious among the rest
of the family. 1t is so necessary
that the mother should be cheerful,
and hopeful, that a monomaniacal
mother is about the limit of family
misery.
1t is granted that mothers are
sorely tried by everyday little frlc'
tions. She can't get away from her
worries as a rule-as men do when
they go to the hotel piazza-or seek
a club room. where they can find
agreeable associates for an idle eve
ming.
1t is the house mother who IS
compelled to bear the brunt Of the
unbidden recollections which force
themselves to the front and aggra-
vate the wound which is never heal
ed and continually raw TO the touch
it is fierce. And worry can kill. IT
does kill, when it is become uncon-
trollable and nerve-racking, to Sc.
rious illness. If we could stop to
consider we would quit worryir g
about things we gust cannot help,
for our health's sake. Whatever
can be helped it is our bounden duty
to rise up and go to the helping.
| Delays are dangerous.
But whatever is beyond us, be5et
us behind and before, we must do
| the next best thing, namely, go
| somewhere, get in touch with people
who do not remind you of your bur
den. and lastly pray God to turn
your inmost thoughts to better
| things.
Cotton VS.. Peanuts
Because the boil weevil has be-
| come harassing, a good many of
our farmers are trying to settle upon
some sort of substitute as a money
crop.
A gentleman who has been for
years a citizen of an adjoining coun-
| ty informs me that his neighbors
are finding peanuts the best farm
crop to bring money; that he knows
| about anywhere (after cottOn). He
says there is a ready market for
| the fruit of the vine and the hay
! is a very desirable crop with no
particular expense in the cultiYa
| ton. He said these farmers real.
lied fifty dollars per acre, and found
ready sale for the peanuts.
