An Aransas Cfcnrcn Candidate. Several days ago, when the doors j of a fashionable chnrch were thrown : open, as the metaphor goes, for mem- ; bership, a lean man arose from the j congregation, and, approaching the j altar, solemnly shook hands with tho j preachers and elders aud rulers aud j scribes there assembled. "What is your name?" asked the head preacher. "Alvin J. Shanks." "Where do you live, Mr. Shanks?" j "Jacktown, Arkansaw." "Is there a church of our denomi- ; nation in your town ?" "Not now, but thar useter be." "What caused its abandonment?" : "Sar?" "I ask what caused it to be neg- j lected ?" "Tl I "ID am i euurejy ufyieuicu, iui ^uv meetin'house is used by old man Scripts, what lives jes' acrsoss tie road, to put bis fodder io." "You don't understand me, Mr. j Shanks. What I want to know is, ! why are services no longer held in the church?" "Cause it's full o' fodder, I tell you." "Why was fodder put in the j church?" "Wall, you see, old Scripts he owned stock iu the 'stablishment, that is, he put in ten log3, four logs more than any other man iu town put in. Scripts figgered around an' bought up the logs o' different parties till he owned a controlliu' interest in the house. Theu he went ; to the preacher an' told him, says 1 he: "Parson, I have bought the controlling intrest in that chnrcb, an' after study in' over the matter I have j come to the conclusion that I need a ; m fodder barn wus than this community j does a church. My religionn is sorter rnnnin' down fit tne neei, any- i bow, an* needs half soliu, but I aint j got time to tend to it, so' I have decided to take the church." "What, did the preacher give up the good work on this account?" "Oh no, he doDe the square thing by the congregation, for he. slipped j around at night and sot fire to the ' fodder, but old Script was on hand an' put the fire out." "I am grieved to hear this." "Ob, he done his best to burn the j thing but you see?" "I mean that I am sorry the i preacher acted in a spirit of such j unchristian like revenge." "Oh, yas, I understant, but he done j his best." "Why didn't he preach in some other honse ?" "Wall yoQ see, after this the peo- j pie sorter suspicioned him o' stealiu' j a boss. He wanted to leave the country, au' didn't have money '^Did they prove that ho stole the ^ animal ?" "No, sar, oh no. They didn't wait for that, they found him ridin' the h088,so they strung him up." "What, hanged him?" "Wall, yas, rather. They didn't ask him if he stole the boss, fur they j didn't want aDd proof. If they'der give him the time he mouter proved 1 his innocence but the boys was in a harry, as they wanted to get back to aether thar co'n. so thev told him to ! O ' excuse 'em,an' then strung him up." j The preachers could no longer to!- ; erate the candidate, and with ungen- ; tie bands they led him out and sboved him into the street.?Arkansas Traveller. To Get Bid of Rat3. A writer, in the Stnenlijio Ameri- ) can says: "We clean our premises of j the detestable vermin?rats?making ' whitewash yellow with copperas and ! covering the stone and rafters with it. In every crevice in which a rat may go, we put the crystals of the copperas and scatter in the corner of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since that time, not a foot fall of either t rats or mice has been heard around the house. Every Spring a coat of yellow-wash is given the cellar as a purifier, as a rat exterminator, and uo typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the family. Many persons delib- ! erately attract all the rats in the j neighborhood by leaving the fruits and vegetables uncovered in the cellar, and, sometimes even the soap is left cpou for their regalement. Cover up everything eatable in the cellar and pantry and you will sood starve them out. These precautions, j joined to the services of a good cat, j will prove as good a rat exterminator as the chemists can provide. We never allow rats to bo poisoned in our dwelling; they are so apt to die between the walls and cause much annoyance.

The system of farming generally adopted in this section is uot based upon common sense or sotrnd judgment. If persisted in the country must eventually be utterly ruined. : It is only :i question of time. Cotton j is not king and never was, although ; the majority of our people seem to be : wedded to this delusion. The price j of coton is not fixed at present by the j supply and demand but by speculators and may go down at any time contrary to all the rules of !?gitimate trade. So, a farmer in this section devoted to the all-cotton crnze can ! make no calculation of what his profits or loss may he, for it all de ? -t Xt-,.11 pends upon tUe gammers ui nan Street and Liverpool. There is a surplus of cotton goods already on the market and the actual demand for raw cotton is very little. This fact has been published to the farming world pretty thoroughly, but seems to have made no impression for good. It is the same round, year after year, and it is actually die- j heartening to oue who really desires i the solid prosperity and up-building j of the country. The price of cotton must necessa- j rily be very low the next season on j account of the stagnation in the trade in cotton goods. Every farmer who puts in a large crop of cotton now, must do it with his eyes open and must not complain next November I that the price is low. A good hand will not average more \ than live bales of cotton, worth about j $10 per bale. Tbis be about $200 gross for each hand. The wages and feed of the baud will not be less than $100. The mule, ploughs, phosphates, seed, and the tares and interest on the laud worked will about take up the balance. In fact, it will take up the whole of it, if corn, hay, j tlour, meat, clothing, hats, shoes, sugar ami coffee aad everything else is to be bought. There is nothing in such fanning except worry and vexation, hard work and poverty in the end. | If yon will stand on our streets yon can see the results of such farming. Wngou loads of hay and corn are distributed through the country. Bacon, lard, shoes, clothing and in fact everything necessary for liviug load down the wagons of our pretended farmers. If hay has to be bought in this country it is from pure neglect. Every farmer can get hay of good quality and in sufficient quantity from his own place to keep up his stock. Some of our farmers hoot at the idea of rasing corn in this section. It is a fact, however, that the men who raise corn generally have money enough to pay cash for what they ? 1 f - 1 ii i <> li i prosperous neighbors. In other words, the corn man lends to the allcotton man.?Abbeville Medium. ROYAI ,0 *AKlK6 POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel ol parity, strength, and wliolesomeuess.

How intuitively the child begins with prayer and worship on entering life, and how intuitively, on quitting life, the old man turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself again side by side with the infant." remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lytton. in his "Strange Story." Yes, but between its distant abutments the bridge of life has many high and awful arches, through which the wild waters dash and roar in wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sustain these. Nature's solid rocks must lie unshaken beneath, and human art and skill must rear and solidify the structure overhead. God's will is Lest exemplified in the laws He has made for the creatures whom lie has placed under their control. Neither the child's trustful "Our Father." nor the okl man's "Forget me not in the midst of mine infirmities," will after this by the weight of a single grain.
