Who done it if cotton farmers did not do it? Every organized farmer ought to feel good over this victory and step about high with his head up and a stiff straight back. __?_ I The man who runs a home spun gnano factory on his own farm and has plenty home-grown toou stuns all around him is not losing mnch sleep about now over the evil doings of cotton exchanges and fertilizer trusts. Walking over a field of oats on the first of April we noticed a streak of oats at intervals that was upon an average about twenty-two inches tall, while the oats on each side were about 14 inches tall. This , difference was made by allowing the rows of hay to lay on the lands daring two weeks' rain, which washed unt mnqkof the substance of the vines before the hay got dry enough to rake in cocks.

Bring in all denominations of church and the old common sinner of no creed all together for good of all and useful to all that come together iu union. You all know that if you invest in a farm tool and lay the thing to one side that weeds will grow up all over it and your implement will soon rust and rot and your investment will be lost if don't put the tool into profitable use! So it is j with farmers' organizations, yon must come together, join in to do things for the good of all and keep at it. "Meetme"at Greenville, where yon will see and hear something in the way of protection to the interests of all members that will open both hearts and eyes for good to the farming fraternity and of special interest to Farmers Uniou men. Whilst the invitation has been made in a way obligatory to all busi ness agents, either local or county, yet a special invitation is extended to all lively Farmers' Union men to meet us in Greenville. You will be more than welcome to this meeting as we are expecting to meet quite a lot of warm members there that are * ?v v doing something more than talking. pp.," Hewing Down the Walls ot Wall Street, i Waw Kunlr I'nitrlpi' it ia aaid that / Farmer:* must stand together for then own interest and self protec-! tiou.

"Booms retain the sighs and sohs of the people who have lived in them," said the woman. "That's the reason I like to live in a new Sat that nobody has had time to be unhappy in. I was living in such a flat once when suddenly I took a notion that nothing would do me but a studio in Washington square. You know, there are some of the oldest sort of houses down there? houses that have been lived in and lived in, that people have laughed in Bometimes, of course, but that are full of the echoes of sobs. "You don't believe that, do you? Well, wait till I tell you. I found what I-thought was the thing to suit me for life. I concluded to itay there forever. Never to move out of that studio in Washington jquare. You never saw a more beautiful view from the three windows overlooking the park. Delicate twigs, almost like shadows of twigs, blue skies, fleecy clouds and birds in the trees singing. Besides, there was an open grate for a fire. If I bad nothing to eat I concluded that there should always be a fire in that jrate. "But I moved in on a rainy day. The'rain lashed the window panes. Some twigs struck at them like knuckles. It was dusk when I got my things straightened about a little and sat down to rest by the open fire. The maid threw on an extra little log for luck and went out. Except for the flicker of the fireLight the Foom was dark. The light from the fire accentuated the darkness. It left deep shadows in the corners.
