Having a Fine Sale. We are glad to learn that Judge J. H. Hudson's book "Sketches and Reminisenees" are having a fine sale, the first edition of one thousand copies has been exhausted, and the Judge will at once have another thousand copies published. A Bold Robbery. On Saturday eight last, Ben King, who lives at Linter, was in town on his way home. He went down to the Coast Line depot to tako the Gibson train home. Aa the train came up, two negroes came op to him and asked him to ohunge tome money, il o pulled bis purse from his pocket, containing he said $6 50, and Marted to make chango when ono of them snatched the money, while the other put a pistol in his taco and told him to keep mum. J UR! then his train started, but, ns it slowed up at the switch, he jumped off and came bnck to report tho cuse and make search for tho men On Sunday morning ho taw Child' David, who seurched the town over. They were seen several times, but managed finally to t/et out of town-taking the railroad for Cheruw, where thoy may bo caught. How to Raise Cotton. Mr. "W. M. Dees of Parnassus bas done as well raising cotton as any farmer in the county with the same amount of fertili zers and here is how lie worked it: On one acre he made 3408 pounds of seed cotton, "king" variety, planted April 28th, and on which he only put 800 lbs of C. S. Meal, 400 pounds of Acid, 100 pounds of Kainit, 100 pounds 8 33 fertilizer and four 2 horse loads stable manure broadcast. The cost of the gu anos was $13.22, Stable manure $4 n total $17 22. The price re ceived from the returns on the aere'amonnted to $122 30. This certainly shows whether farm ing pays or not. A Prayer The following prayer, hy Roh eit Louis Stevenson, is one of the most beautiful in the English lunguage; Tho day returns at.d bringa us the petty round of irritating con cerns and duties. Help us to piny the man; help U8 to perform them with laughter and kind faces; let cheerfulness ahound with indus try. Give us to go blithely on our bnsiBaga^RU dart bring us to our resting beds we?Ty^lt?/'Gdlr? toni and undishonored, nnd grant us in the ond the gift of sleep. Amen.

Atchison Globe. A BETTER REPORT Kind Editor-Allow nie space in your valuable paper to correct a mistake which appeared recently about Mr. D. D. Stubbs' cane. The writer enid Mr. Stubba made 71 gals on one-fifth of an acre. He did not have but one eighth of an acre. Tt was up land and no guano was used at all. When thc cane cime up it was such a bad stand he did not think it would pay him. Furthermore the storm blew a lot of it down. He fed that to his hogs. He saved 450 stalks for planting, The rows were 7 feet I apart Now, Mr. Editor I have taken upon myself this reply as my uncle is sick in bcd. Yours for a success ful year. John li. Stubbs.

Bunyan McLeod, tho pop ular and beloved pastor of the presbyterian church preached a splendid sermon on Sunday nigl last on the "basic principle ol M i sonry." A large congregation pl course turned out and the church was packed. The Masons marched in a body and occupied the in the centre on the left. The subject of the preache ( I is j course was "Love" which h-.. said) was the basio principle of true ma sonry-the bright centre around which circle all the noble attributes of christian character. Without lo we can do nothing. It wat no! long, tiresome exposition, short touching appeal to ali for' more zealous, earnest, faithful work in the elevation and salvation of the human family. The services were very in esl ting-the song tervice adding much to make it so. Saved Prom Terrible Doath The iamily o? Mrs. M. L. Robbi!

In yome parts of thc country there ls seldom fUtUcicnt snow to Justify the average farmer In buylug und keeping a high priced sleigh. Yet when then does come sleighing, If It ls only for n few days, he needs one, or ut lcust his boys do, and then it to too late to bny. even if he so desired, as every sleigh is lu use. In view of this, a Parin. Field nnd Fireside correspondent tells 1 tlie boyB how to make one themselves at little expense. The first cut Bhows a homemade sleigh constructed la'the farm work A ii o ur. M A DI; atman, shop at a cost of $1.50. Tho second cut shows thc arrangement of the braces and other parts. Two pieces of 'one-half Inch (three-quarters of an Inch on thc outside) pipe eight feet six Inches long ure bent the desired 6hape Xor runners. Four pieces of three eighths Inch pipe are cat five Inches long for the lower part of the uprights. One end of these ls hollowed out so as to flt over the top of the runner. Threads are cut on tho other ends, and tees aro screwed into each piece. Next four more pieces ore cnt seven Inches long, nnd one end of euch ls threaded and screwed Into the tees, thus forming four rods twelve Inches l?iiK for thu uprights. Ouc-quarlcr inch holes aro drilled Into each runner twenty-seven Inches from the rear end and another three feet three inches from these. The up rights nre bolted to two 1% by 4 inch oak scantling two feet six inches long. Four three-eighths inch reds ars then cut eight eon inches long, threaded on the end and bent thc desired shape, as shown In the second cut, after which they nre screwed Into tho tees on the uprights and bolted to the crosspieces.
