- Next X accost those ? gie thirties.
You are at an age when you find what
a tough thing it is to gefr- recognized
and established in your occupation or
profession. Ten yean ago you thought
all that was necessary for success was
to put on your shutter the sign of phy
sician or dentist or attorney or broker
or agent, and you would have plenty
offcnsioess, How many hours you
sat and waited for business and waited
fin vain, three persons only know ?
"Ood, your wife and yomgeH. In com
mercial life you have not had the pro
motion and Locreaaeftn salary you an-,
tkipated, or the place you expected to
occupy in the firm has not been va
cated. TKe produce of theTarm, with
which you expected to support your
iself and those depending on you ana
to pay the interest on the mortgage,
has been far less than you anticipated, or
'the prices were down, or special ex
penses for sickness made drafts on
your resources that you could not
have expected. In some Respects the
hardest deeade of life is the thirties,,
because the results are generally so
tar behind., .the anticipations. It is
very rare Indeed that a young man
does as did the young man lar- Son
day night, wben he came to me ,and
said: "I have bete so marvelttoely
prospered since I came to fcis country
that I feel, as a matter of gratitude,
that I ooght to dedicate myself to
God." Nine tenths of the poetry of
fife has been knocked outfof you since
you eome into the thirties. Men in
? the different professions and occupa
tions saw that you were rising^and
they must put an estoppel on ytfu "or
you might somehow stand in the way.
They think you must be suppressed.

how to treat young people without

snubbing them on the other. Oh, the

entered upon his_ active ministry at 30
years of aggT Judas sold him for 30

The greatest deeds for God and
against him were done within the
thirties, and your greatest battles are
now and between the time when you
cease expressing your age by putting
first a figure "2" and the time when
you will cease expressing it by putting
first a figure-" 3." As it is the great
est time of the struggle, I adjure you,
in God's name and by God's gt^ce,
make it the greatestCachievement. My
prayer is for all those in the tremend
ous crisis of the thirties.. The fact is
that by the way you decide the pre
sent decade of your history you decide
all the following decades. When I
! was in Russia, I was disappointed in
, not seeing the battlefield of Borodino.
| Why was there fought such a battle
af that small village? 'It was .70 miles

grapple with 130,000 Russians, and

enough thistledown. You have blown
enough soap bubbles. , A ou have seen
the unsatkfy ing nature of all- earthly
things. Open a new \ chapter with
God and the world. This decade of
the forties ought to eclipse all its pre
decessors in worship, in usefulness and
in happyiess. *' Forty" is a great
word in the Bible: God's ancieut
people, were 40 years in the wilder
ness. EH judged Israel 40 years.
David and, Solomon and Jehoash
reigned 40 years. When . Joseph
visited his brethren, he was 40 years
old. Oh, tbjs mountain, top of the
forties! You have now the character |
you will probably have for ali time
and all eternity. Godi by his grace
sometimes changes -a man after the
forties, but after t?&t a man never
changes bimselt. Tell me, 0 men and
women who are in the forties, your
habits of thought and life, and I will
tell you what you will forever be. I
might make a mistake once in a thous
and times, but not more than in that
proportion. I ' w
premonitory symptoms of old age.
My sermon lie xt accosts the fiities.
How queer it looks when in writing
your age you make the first of the two
figures a "5." This is the decade
which shows what the other decades
have been. If a young man has aowu
wild oats and be has lived to thictime,
he reaps the harvest of it in the fifties,
or if by neettsity bo was compelled to]
overtoil inh^nest directions he is call
ed to settle up with exacting nature
gome time during the fifties. .Many
have it so hard in early Kfe^fcattbey
are octogenarians at 50. Sckticas and
rheumatism and neuralgias and ver
tigos and insomnias have their play
ground in the fifties. A man's hair
begins to whiten, and, although h$
may have worn spectacles before, now
he asks the optician forNo.14.or (
No 12 or No.' 10. When he gets a cough'
and is almost cured, he hacks and
clears his throat a good wh ile afterward.
Oh, ye who are in the fifties/ think
of it! A half centyry of bWing to
be thankful for, and a half-7 century
subsfaracted from anh existence which,
in the most, marked cases of longevity,
hardly ever reaches; a whole ceutury.
By this time you ought to be eminent
for piety. You haye been in so many
battles you ought tobfc a brave soldier.
You have made so many voyages jrou
ought to be a good sailor. < So long
protected and blessed, you ought ? tp
have a 'soul full of doxOlogy. Ih
Bible times in Canaan^ every 50 years
was bv Goc^s-command a year of jubi?
lee. The people did not work that
year. If property had by misfortune
gone out of one's possession, on we
fiftieth year it cfcme back to, him. If
he had fooled it ifcwasi retun^d
without a farthing^)' pay. |f a man
had been enslaved, :he was in that
year emancipated. A trumpet was
sounded loud and clear and long, and
it was the trumpet of jubilee. They
shook hands, they laughed, tbey con
gratulated. What a time it w as that*
fiftieth year! And if under the old
disjjensktimi it was such a glad time,
under our new and more glorious jlis
peusation let all who have come to the
fifties hear the trumpet ot jubilee that
I now blow. That was the allusion
made by Mr. Toplady, the great
hyninologist, when he wrote:
Bl?w ye the trumpet, Wow . t
The gladly solemn sound:
Let all tb*1 nations kno*:, ; - t

Return ye ransomed sinners home.
f WEAB OUT, BUT DO NOT BUST OUT.
My sermon next accosts the sixties.
The beginning, of that decade is more
startling than any other. In hi*
chronological journey the man rides
rather smoothly over the figures "2"
and "3" and "4" and "5," but the
figure <46" gives him a big jolt H6
says: "It Cannot be that I am 60. Let
me examine the old family record. I
guess they made a mistake. They
got my name down wrong in the roll
of births." But no;; the older broth
ers and sisters remember the. time of ,
his advent, and there ifcaome relative
a year older and arxotner relative a
year younger, and, sure enough, the
fact is established beyond all disputa
tion. Sixty! IjJSfow your great danger
is-* the temptation to; fold up your
facuities and quit. You will feel a
tendency tp reminisce. If you do not
look oat, you w21 begin; almost every
thing with the words, "When I was a
boy." Stat you ought to make the
sixties more memorable for God and
the truth than; the fifties or the forties
jw the thirties. You ought1 to do

HIS DISEASE WAS ANNQ DOMINI.
Dr Beman, after passing into the
seventies, was asked by my * friend,
Rev Dr Spear, "D* Beman, how is
your health now ?' an<i he replied, "J
have oil me an incurable disease."
"What is that?" atked my friend, and
the septuagenarian replied, "Old age."
Both of the old tueu I have meutioueJ
intended their remarks for facetious
ness, aud old people have a right to'
be facetious. An aged woman sent
for her physician and told him of her
ailments, and the doctor said: "What
would you have me do, madam? I
cannot make you young again." She
replied "I know that, doctor. W hat
I want you to do is to help me grow
old a little longer." The young have

Afcar! hear! a remark pertinent to all
people whether i|i the twenties, th%
thirties, the forties, the fifties, the six
ties, the seventies' or beyond.
r What we all need is to take the su
pernatural into our lives. Do not
us depend on brain and muscle at ^
nerve. We want a mighty supply of
tbe supernatural. We want, with us
a divine force mightier than the
waters and the tempests, and when the
liord took two steps on bestormed Gali-,
lee, putting one foot on the winds and
the other on the waves, he proved him-,
self mightier than hurricance and
billow. We want with us a divine
force greater than the fires, and wheq
the Lord cooled Nebuchadnezzar'?
furnace until Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego did not even have to fan
themselves he proved^ himself mightiejr
than the fire. We want a divine
force stronger than wild beast, an<j|
when the ?nrd made Daniel a liofl
tamer he proved himself stronger th^n
the wrath of the jungles. There
so many diseases in the world we wantf|
with us a divine physician capable of
combating ailments, and^oar Lord
when on earth showed what he conic)
dojwith catalepsy and paralysis and
ophthalmia aDd dementia. Oh, ts.ke
%ll& supernatural into all your lives;
"How to getit? Justras you get any
thing you want ? by application.

w Southern |Towns May Secure Manu
factories.
[BT W. L. GLESSMKR IN ' DIXIK."]
The question of how to secure, aid
and encourage manufacturing indus
tries in the South carries with it an
acknowledgment of necessity br desir
ability ot manufactories, with an ap
preciation of their advantages, but
before answering this question the
characier of the. manufactories desired ,
must first be determined, as upon thfe
determination largely rests -rthe -char
acter of the methods to be employed.
In a general way it may be statt-d
that the class of manufactories most '
l^eded, and therefore most desirable,^
are thwie which will, in the greatest
degree, aid in developing and utiliz
ing oui: natural resources, give em
ployment to the greatest number of
people,' and build up, not only our
towns, but the country surrounding
them. j.
In my opinion, small manufactories
best fill these requirements, as they
can be secured by a greater number of
communities, utilize a greater variety
of products, Require less aid, have iu
them more of the elements of self
support, and enlist, the interest of the
greatest' number of people^ If one
hundred thousand dollars could be
raised in a community for the estab
lishment of manufactories, it would
better ssrve the general interests of
that community to establish ten small
ones than one large one, for they would
give more varied employment, develop
and- utilize a greater number of pro
ducts, and be less liable to failure.
There are times cf depression in all
manufacturing industries, .but that
condition of trade which proves a
source of loss to one industry may
prove a source of profit to another;
therefore it is not at all probable that
ten different industries will all prove
unprofitable at the same time, conse
quently all the employes would jiot be j
thrown out of employment, as often
occurs in the shutting doWn of large
establishments. There is also less
danger of strikes or lock-outs, for in a
small manufactory employer and em
ploye are brought closer together and
have more interests in common.
Small manufactories enlarge with the
demand lor their goods, and, their
business being brought up gradually
and with a thorough knowledge of the
wants of the trade, their foundation
is firm. Ab they grow up they are in
a condition to take advantage of im
provements in machinery without
great exgeuse, while I have seen large
manufactories seriously crippled by ?
their inability to replace their large
and expensive plant with improved
machinery being used by their young
er competitors. Compare the princi
pal manufacturing towns of Connecti
cut and Massachusetts, with their
small manufactories, with those of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, where large
manufactories are the rule, and you

For the above reasons I shall con
fine myself to a discussion of the best
methods of securing, aiding aud en.
couraging small manufacturing indus
tries I am fully aware that in doing
so I shall run counter to the popular
idea, which is that k- -manufactory is
an immense building filled with com
plicated machinery -and* hundreds of
empiop*.; ,
This is- an age of co-operation, both
in labor and capital, and by intelli
gent too operation I belijce that every
community can ' seeui^fcd and en
courage such man u&ctunng industries
as areSmitable to its particular locali

establishment of manufacturing indus
tries in its midst organize a Manufac
turing Aid Association, with shares of
one hundred doliare each, payable in
monthly installments cf one dollar.
This would enable every member of
tie communityrto take stock accord
ing to hiF;means, -and thus enlist all
in the work. . Let it be distinctly un
derstood that the payments on stock
are not contributions, but an invest
ment, and one that will yield a lair
profit There few 'communities
suitable for the location of a manu
factory which could not get up a sub
scription of one thousand shares. One
thousand shares would raise one thou
sand doilars. per month for one hun
dred months, or one hundred thou
sand dollars flfc. a little over eight
years. Elect as a board of directors
Progressive and reliable business
men, empowering them to loan the
funds of the association to Reliable
parties, on good security, wishing to
engage in- manufacturing, or k> sub
scribe stock in manufacturing compa
nies. It should be a purely business
transaction, forj as a general thing,,
gifts are only asked by speculative or
unreliable parties.
One of the first uses to which the
funds of the association should be put
would be to purchase a tract of land
well adapted for manufacturing sites.
These sites could be sold, on liberal
terms, to parties desiring to erect
manufactories, or they could be put in
as paid up stock. Then the associa
tion would be ready to advertise, and
should advertise, that it stood ready
to subscribe stock, to loan money, or
otherwise aid auy deinrable manufac
turing industry. If no parties ap
plied, and there was any particular
manufacturing iudustry which seemed
desirable and profitable, the associa
tion could use its funds in establishing
it, a9 the building and machinery
could be contracted to be paid for in
monthly installments. Or, the asso
ciation could erect a commodious and
convenient building, furnishing it
with power, which could be rented out
to parties engaged in light manufac
turing or manufacturing in a small
way I have known where this was
done, not only with profit to the asso
ciation, but was l$e means of starting
aiMunber of industries which grew so
as to require build ings .aud power of I
their own.
If an established manufactory need
ed aid to enlarge its business, the asso
ciation could render that aid bv tak
ing stock ^r by loauing it money at a
reasonable" rate of interest. Many a
small manufactory could, with a little
timely aid, be enabled to enlarge the
scope of its business, or be helped to
.tide over periods of depression, and
8uch substantial aid given would do
more to encourage other manufactur
ing industries than larger s^rus Sf>ent
in donations or free sites.: I have
kaowb many a manufactory to fail
because its projectors had expended
all their money iu buildings and ma
chinery and had nothing to work on.
In such cases the association could
render invaluable aid, either hy sub
scribing to increasd capital stock, or
loaning money on the plant, giving
time and a reasonable rate of interest.
It should always be borne in mind that
the funds of the association should be
used only in securing, aiding and en
couraging manufacturing industries.
By pursuing a sound business policy,
the association would find itself at the
end of a hundred months with a paid
up capital of one hundred thousand
dollars invested in stocks and loans,
which could either be 'sold and the
proceeds divided among the stock hoi
ders; Or the organization and the work
could be continued, stocks being sold
and the proceeds invested in new en
terprises.
Such an association would build up
solid business enterprises, not ephnn
eral booms. It would be such an ad
vertisement for any community as
would attract reliable business men,
not speculators, and tlAresult would
be a solid growth in wfllth and popu
lation, in intelligence and content
ment. The plan I hare outlined can
be enlarged and modified in many
ways which will suggest themselves to
those who study it, and for that rea
son is adapted to the needs of both
large and small communities. I do
not claim any originality for it, be
cause in modified forms I have seen it
in Successful operation. If it shall
but aid a single community in secur
ing some of the manufacturing enter
prises it needs and desires I shall feel
repaid for the time I have spent in
Isketehing it

POST-HOLE
DIGGER
Universally conceded to be
the best and only Digger that
works to perfection in the soft
est of saml and the toughest of
clay, and unequalled by all
others to work in any kind of
soil, as the blades are so
arranged and made of spring
steel, thus allowing them to
expand and contract when .".11
ing and emptying same.
The handle is so arranged
that it can be lengthened to
any desired length by adding
pipe to it in sections, so that
any desired depth can be
rcached with these Diggers.
It is light, strong, durabl *)
and tintjtlt (nothing compli
cated about it), and does twice
the work in less time than any
other Digger made.
