Tlie Lexington Dispatch. ( Wednesday, September 16.1903. Sorse Ssnss. TVlnnsborro News aad Herald. Oar exchanges these dayerare filled with much advice on a very important matter about which we must confess that we are wholly ignorant?the * time to sell cotton. Some advise that farmers seli as rapidly as they gather it, and others say hold it till later in the seasoa. So far as our observation in tbe matter go, we are inclined to think that tbe man who Bells his cotton year in and year out as soon as it is gathered is tbe man that gets the most for bis crop. Bat be that as it . - may, there is one thing that we are entirely sore about, and that ie the man who doesn't depend entirely upon cotton for money with which to pay for fhose things that he cannot raise and also for those things that he should raise is the man that is get- j ting the best returns for his labor on the farm. It matters not what the price of cotton is, there is no money J to the farmer in raising only cotton if ' he has to pay two or three prices for the other products which be could so easily raise on the farm. It is with farming as with every other business, it is not the gross sales that determine the success of a business, but the net profits are the thing that - - if- .A I counts. There is another iacc mat .we think a great many real good business men as farmers forget, and that is that the direct results are not the only thing to be taken into consideration. For instance: even if a farmer some years should gain by having i planted largely of cotton, it should not be forgotten that he has forgotten that he has suffered an indirect loss by not improving his land. In other words it must be lost sight of that that system of farming that brings not only its direct returns in the way of ready cash, but also brings its indirect retains in the way of improving the lands on which one lives and In laying the foundation for even larger returns on the outlay. What- 1 ever the price of cotton this fall (and every indication is that it will be good), it is to be hoped from every stand| point that it will not have the effect of causing the farmers to lose sight of giving more and more of their attention to the little industries that have possibilities within, them that have never been possible with cotton.

His parents lived on a farm. There was work to be done on the farm. Work on the farm always has to be done early in the morning. > This boy didn't gst up.

I know a boy that hasn't got any parents. He goes in swimming whenever he plsases. Bat I am going to ' stick to my parents. However, I don't tell them so 'cause they might get it into their heads that I couldn't f get along without them. Says this boy to mc "Parents are a nuisance; they aron't what they'ie cracked up to be." Says I to him: "Just the same I find 'em handy to have. Parents have their failings, of course, like all of us, but on the whole I approve of 'em, and I hope good boys will continue to have 'em." After the Rascals.

Many a time when a man wishes he had never married, his wife wishes it more than he does. The man who complains that his wife scolds the children all day, can't stay with them half an hour without scolding more than she does. When a man Bpends his time pitying himself it is time for other people to pity his wife. A model husband is easier to find fVion q mnrlfil roifo hnt. nnlv ft mnd/il wife will acknowledge it. When a man marries he gives up his freedom. When a woman marries she gives up both freedom and indepence. The only time a husbaDd should feel obliged to say something pleasant to his wife is when ehe is in a bad humor. A good way for a woman to teach her husband that she does do a little work occasionally is to let him do it for her. The woman who can keep children and servants iu a good humor without getting tired of it is the woman who should marry. The only time an old maid is really glad she never married is when she has to take charge of three or four of somebody else's children. A woman should teach her daughters to sew, cook and nurse. It is the only solid foundation for their education. Married women who bravely deter mine to make the best of a bad bargain often have to look for the best every day of their lives and then it is hard to find. The girl who expects to marry should ask her father for money and should never learn to make money herself. If parents would be as particular about the company their boys keep as they are about the company their girls keep, there would be fewer ruined lives and more happy homes. The girl who wishes to reform a man should reform him first and then?let some other girl marry him. Sprains. S. A. Bead, Cisco, Texas, writes, March lltb, 1901: "My wrist was sprained so badly by a fall that it was | useless; and after using several remedies that failed to give relief, used Ballard's Snow Liniment, and was cured.
