It is a law of Nature that through out her wide dominions, there shall be nothing motionless, no such a thing as absolute rest. In the or ganic world, the seed or the germ, by some mysterious process which no finite being may perceive nor under •stand, is quickened into life as by a breath from an unseen world, and the plant, the animal, the man, each in a separate sphere begins the race of life. Upward the plant rises, outward it extends its branches ail laden, it may be, with luscious fruits or glo rious flowers; and year after year it multiplies itself in repeated expan sions, and there is nothing to be found in bud or stem to breathe the faintest whisper that the plant may go on repeating and expanding torevci’.- ft’ 11 fhe silent, unseen forces within it atC "’orking to a climax, and the time will coniv' when the sap .from the ground \\!T1 respond less generously to the general warmth of spring and the leaves will assume a paler green in the fierce glare of sum mer. The life-current turns backward and the wonderful organism, which through months and years and, it may be, centuries, has felt “the in stinct of might” imparted by life and growth., now hastens to death an decay. Neither the earth itself nor any thing on it or in it, is still. This great globe is ever whirling on its axis and flying along its orbit with a velocity which can only be expressed by a row of figures that in their sig nificance far transcend the limits of finite comprehension, while on its surface the tide of life rises and falls, flows and ebbs, with the restless per sistency, with the fateful regularity of the oceanic waters that lash the beach and beat the bases of the rocky cliffs in their mad efforts to follow the smiling moon on her se rene and silent journey. Nations grow up and spread them selves like multitudinous hosts of locusts; dynasties rise, and reign, and fall; the Celt yields to the Teuton, and the Teuton to the Norseman, and everywhere the strong races trample down the weak and grow stronger, and by virtue of their strength lay claim to the earth as an inheritance. They cover the plains with cities and whiten the seas with the sails of com merce; they lay hold of the forces of Nature and bid them multiply luxu- THAT TON OF GUANO. When The Ledger offered one ton of guano last spring to the Cherokee farmer who would raise the greatest number of bushels of corn on one acre of upland this year, the said ton of guano to be paid the first of Novem ber, so it could be used on wheat this fall, our idea was to increase the in terest of our county farmers in these two most important crops, and to in cline them to a more intensive sys tem of farming, so by practical expe rience they could realize the possi bilities that lay in our soil, when its preparation and the cultivation of the crops planted in it are directed by sound agricultural sense in an effort to excell. We are pleased at the number that entered the contest, an 1 gratified that j all the acres are giving promise of a ; good yield. Also to learn that the i thorough preparation and cultivation of these acres have stimulated other 1 farmers along the lines of preparation and cultivation and thus, not only the; • acres” will give greater yields, but the yields of many other fields will be increased by their owners, in a meas- 1 ure, emulating the efforts of our con testants. When the decision is made the name of the winner and the number, of bushels he made on his acre will bo published in The Ledger, as well as the names of all the contestants and the yields of their respective acres, and the ton of guano for : wheat offered by The Ledger will be promptly given to the winner. As our offer of this prize was in tended to stimulate intensive farm ing in Cherokee, we trust the winner ■vilt confine the use of the guano to •> much smaller acre than a ton is* generally used on in this county, so that our idea may be extended t<* the crops'fertilized by the guano also. B OI Xv S PYRAMIDS OF PAIN Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle or boil is the result. To one already enfeebled by disease, boils seem to come with more frequency, causing the intensest pain and greatest danger to the already weak and debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car* tmncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and h, B diignity. showins abih.y and so,-,,, • d ’ P0 -!, U B ei1 . b ,!? <>d ’ “ nd .
