The patch referred to here is not Lj the patch on a garment?time-honr ored badge of decent poverty?for, n unfortunately, that sort of patch h has not passed, writes Annie Sherrill Baird, in Southern Woman's Mage azine. The other kind of patch is ^ rapidly becoming a matter of history. ^ On every farm there used to be a y turnip patch and a potato patch; in the garden was a strawberry patch; ana a folk-song celebrating the ac tivities of the rabbit in the pea " patch is proof that the latter was a ? well-known institution. U But now has come the passing of i* the patch. The blackberry has been "cultivated;" turnips grow in fields; tomatoes are planted by the acre; rows and rows of onions?miles of onions?stretch away into the dise tance; the pea patch has expanded into a truck farm. One reads of 175 acres of straw; berries planted on "cut-over" pine lands in Mississippi, on which the yield amounted to a total value of Jj $38,000. This big berry crop? d amounting to 21,875 crates?was e shipped in carload lots mainly to s Buffalo, N Y. j5 In California they think nothing d of planting 100 acres in asparagus. Three thousand cars were neces r sary for the shipping of the 1914 r' "Bermuda" onion crop of Texas, a e crop that has brought millfons of r dollars into the State. These are a few instances of big 0 operations in the way of vegetables and berry raising. They are cited merely to emphasize the facU that the patch is passing. And now let us consider briefly the difference between fact and truth. What does the passage of the patch portend? I don't know. But I should greatly like to knew. The passing of the pa eh is closely related to the who e trend of modern life; it is one link in a chain which seems to have had no beginning and which apparently will have no end. - The People's Mercantile Co have just iceived a fresh lot of Kingan's Pure Lard and Hams, and they are anxious to have every housekeeper try this brand, because they believe it's the best. 7-30-2t Many a man has lost his own health drinking to the health of another man. j He who takes a plunge in the stock market is very apt to get j soaked.

Method of Commander of Irregulars ^ May Not Have Been Orthodox, but It Was Effective. ^ A company of irregulars enlisted ^ on the Union side, for the special ^ purpose of coping with Confederate (f guerrillas, called themselves the ^ Snake Hunters. They wore no very definite uniform, and the arms they ^ carried were of every imaginable ^ kind and pattern. ^ Their commander, Captain Baggs, would 6hout: "Put down them blast- ^ ed guns, and be d d to you!" ^ Which, of course, meant "Stack ^ arms."

"I'll show ^ i m i? 1 t* j * fed you now, repnea *>aggs, ana, going <r ro the door, he fired three barrels ^ of his revolver.

The work is not finished, even now; ^ smuggling of "black ivory" across the desert still continues; but with- jDi out doubt it is only a tiny fraction fr of the wholesale commerce in human Kainrra TrVlt/tVl nTOVfl ilpH hefnrft the tfl wvmgo ttuavu - ?
