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.
Oi*eking ran Fountains?In numberless
bulb3 beneath the skin is secreted
the liquid substance which
mves the hair its texture, color and :
glo&s. When this secretion stops the
Lair begins at onco to become dry,
lustreless, brittle and gray. Is that
the condition of your Lair? If so,
apply Parker's Hair Balsam at once.
It will restore the color, gloss and !
life by renewing the action of
nature. The Balsam is Dot an oil,
not a dye, but an elegant toilet article,
highly appreciated because of its j

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.

' What a beautiful bridge between old age
and childhood is religion. 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,"
