The latest sign of a good crop year that has been reported is the fact that farmers are plowing up fat toads. A good farmer tells us that this is said to be an unfailing sign.

An exchange truly remarks that the future of the American negro is wholly bound up in the success of the white man's government. Independent of the white man, or in opposition to him, the negro would be the absolute failure in tms country that he has been in all ages in his own country. A. B. Williams ran down to Cuba to attend the baptism of the bady government. He thinks the Cubans have neither respect nor gratitude for United States people. He does not believe that they will be able to maintain a government very long. He expects her to become a territory and finally a State of this country.

"My brethren," said the old colored j preacher, "it was this waj: When the Israelites passed over it was early j in the morning, while it was cold and the ice was strong enough, so that they went over all right, but when j the Egyptians came along it was in the middle of the day and the sun had thawed the ice so that it gave way under them and they were drowned." At this a young man in the congregation, who had been away to school and had come heme, rose and said: "I don't see how that ex planation can be right, parson. .The geography that I've been studying tells us that ice never forms under the Equator, and the Red sea is nearly under the Equator/' "There, now," said the old preacher, "that's all right, I'se been 'spectin' some of you smart Alecks would be aekin' jest some sech fool questions. The time I was talkia' about was before they had any jografries or 'quators' either." The Hope of the South. The hope of the South is not in the comiDg lawyer, doctor or preacher or politician, but in the boy who is not afraid of work, and who will pull off bis coat, roll up his sleeves and pitch in to accomplish the task before him. The farm manager and owner of the future requires brains in the management of the plow as well as the professional or business man in the commercial world or in weilding of the pen. The agricultural and textile schools should turn out these boys whose aim in life should be to make the worn out lands to rebloom with bountiful harvests, increase the production of her fertile valleys, start the flywheels of manufactories to revolving all over the State?put the whole State on a march of progress and development. Do this, boys, and the fields, the cities and the enterprises will be as monuments to your life, erected by your hands, for future generations to honor. Buckshoal, N. C. Four years ago I was helpless with a misery in my back. I could not turn myself in bed. I was treated by my physician, but he did me no good. I took one bottle of Dr. Baker's Female Begulator and it cured me. I think there is no medicine on earth like it. Mrs. Emma E. Myers. For sale at the Bazaar. Billings Was at Fault. "Your honor," said the attorney for the defense, "I wish to prove by this question that the witness is a man of quarrelsome disposition, hard to get along with, and on bad terms with his neighbors. Now, sir," he continued, turning to the witness, "I'd like to know whose farm is next to yours?" "Well," answered the witness, "there's the Billings' farm, and the?" "Stop right there. One at a time Are you on intimate terms with Mr. Billings?" "I can't say I am." "Are you even on speaking terms with him?" "No, sir." "Whose fault is it?" "It's his fault, I reckon." "Oh, yes; it's his fault, you reckon! How long has it been since you have spoken to him ?" "About fourteen years as near as I can remember." "Now, sir, I want you to tell this jury why you have not spoken to Mr. Billings for forteen years." n i" ?:J ii.. ;l "urenuemen, saiu me wimeae, turning to the jury, "the reason why I haven't spoken to Mr. Billings for fourteen years is because that's about the length of time he's been dead." The extraordinary announcement is made in the Cotton Planters' Journal that the sight of a single bale of cotton on the streets of Bentonville, Ark., has not been noted for several years. This thriving and progressive little city ia sustained entirely by the production of apples, strawberries and small truck* farming. What the farmers of Benton County can do on such a large scale can certainly be done at least in a smaller way by thousands of other localities where cotton is grown almost exclusively. No Color Line Drawn. Lamar Landon, of Georgia, was holding forth last week at an infor[ mal reunion of the Southern Society ! in Sherry's says the New York Times, j One of the tales of the South that | was told was thh: A northerner who had never been below Mason and Dixon's line "went down last winter. Guided through the country by an old negro, they reached the edge of a stream, and the traveler said to the darkey: "What is that dark object in the watei?' "'Ob, dat's a alligatab, sab,' was the reply. "And what is that other dark thing over there on the sand?' was asked. '"Data a alligatah, too, sab,' the guide answered. " 'Then these alligators of yours are amphibious creatures, are they?' queried the northerner. The old negro scratched his head, pondered deeply, finally smiled knowingly, and answered: "'Oh, yep, sab; yes, sab. Course dey's amphibious. Day eats niggers dest de same as white folks.'" A Child Messenger of God. The still form of a little boy lay in a coffin surrounded by mourniDg friends. A mason came into the room and asked to look at the lovely face. "You wonder that I care so much," he said, as the tears rolled down his cheeks, "but your boy was a messenger of God to me. One time I was coming down by a long ladder from a very high roof and found vour little bov close behind / * me when I reached the ground. He looked up into my face with a childish wonder and asked frankly, "Weren't you afraid of falling when you were up so high?" and, before I had time to answer, he said: 4Ah! I know why you were not afraid?you had said your prayers this morning before you went to work.' I had not prayed, but I never forgot to pray from that day to this, and by God's blessing I never will. ?;ot Even a Hack. In the early days of his journalistic career Frank It. Stockton was standing with a group of newspaper men, listening to the eloquence'of one of their number, who 011 the strength of some small authority was giving his views 011 "higher journalism" in a pompous and bombastic manner. At the close of a sonorous period he paused for breath, when Stockton, speaking for the first time, ventured mildly to disagree with the opinion expressed. "Who are you to dispute me?" blazed the great man. "Why, you are only a literary hack!" "Not even that," responded Stockton meekly. "I'm only a coupe." The Souls He Saved. The pastor called at a Columbus home the other day, where little Freddie, a bright youngster, is a great pet Freddie had previously heard his mother say that the pastor was very successful I in saving souls. During a pause in the conversation Freddie, who was sitting on the pastor's knee, asked: "Do you save souls?" "Yes, Freddie," replied the man of the cloth. "Will you tell me." went on Freddie seriously, "how many souls you got saved up?"?Ohio State Journal. A Small Philosopher. Little George is an embryonic philosopher.

"It is too bad," said the visitor from home, "but people who acquire wealth are not the same to their old friends." "Perhaps there is a reason for that." replied .Mrs. uumrox reminisceuuy.
