Mie lives mainly for those chil dren and when tempration and vice robs her of their love she is nobed indeed? With some mothers it is a helpless pitiful grief. With others it is like a lioness robbed of her whelps. I know an aged mother in my own town whose son and grand son werrt enticed away, and, iqJ her desperation, she seized the s .tjjrd cane of her dead hus band and went to the barroom of the town and staggeied behind the counter and broke up every lass and bottle and mirror, and t vdu.ii the owner tried to stop her she drew the sharp difk irom the cane and ran him from the house and then com pleted her work. The' love f r her offspring had armed her with a wild frenzy and- a super natural strength, and that is the same- feeling that every mother ha- though they do not show it that way. Ah, the good mothers nf this land! What a blessed world we would have if they coull have their way about these, things. But the world is making progress in the right direction. The time was when a married woman could own n thing not even her watch or linf clothing everything was h-r iurd s. But how she can have her own property without a trustee, and can make her own will. But that is not ciiHuh. she should have a A .ii.'y and a vote in the protec- hi of her children. Now, here are hundred,, yes j thousands of our girls, who wish to earn their own living and the door is shut. For century they could do nothing but sew.

' ouasr what us for a Uttle money with which ! to fix up the graven ot ' Georgi ans. Only thirty-four have responded to that appeal. Only thirty-four and twenty of them are nonresidents. Just think of it ! Only fourteen Georgians have shown enough regard for our dead to give a dollar to put a headboard to a grave, what shall I say to those ladies, who, for twenty-uve years, have ared for those waves ? Oh. the shame of it! Here I have a letter from them thanking me for what I wrote and telling me how inauy Virginia papers copied it and how glad they were at the bright .prospect of getting the money, and . how these ladies were--getting vip a coucert to help, and how the recent floods washed away their bridges and destroyed their waterworks and ruined the crops in all the surrounding country,, and : how poor every body felt, and they were so glad that the Georgians were going to take hold and help fix up these graves. Now, what shall I say to the like of that But I have not given it up, and 1 expect to seep pegging away on this line if it takes all winter to get the money. My wife says Bhe thinks the good people would have sent the money right away if I hadent called on the legislature. Every Doay tnougnt iney wouia give it all, and be glad to do it, and so the rest of the folks dident want to interfere or embarrass their patriotism. But the legis lature is absorbed in sueh great living issues that they haven t had time to think of the dead That is my wife's explanation An old soldier, who is seventy- eight years of age, sent me five dollars, and wrote that when he read the appeal he didn't have a cent, but he hurried up a bale of cotton and took it to Columbus and sold it so that he might pay his part of that patriotic ueDt. a mend near Macon did likewise, and so have received fifty-three dollars all told and more than half of it came from other states. Twelve confederate veterans from Ocala, Florida, sent twelve dollars. One dollar came from New York city, and one Massachusetts. Friends please wake up, and send me a dollar! Don't wait o a the legis lature. A northern man writes to know if it will be safe 'to re-' mit to Bill ' Arp, 01 has he got another man's namo. Says he read in a paper thai Bill Arp's son had stolen a horse and escaped from the sheriff, and that this has made him dubious about the family, and he wants to know about it. My boys are worried aboutthat. Every now and then some devilish fellow asks them which one of the boys stole that horse and that is what I got for stealing an man's name. The chickens will come home to roost. My friend that horse thief, is no kin to me and I'm sorry he is kin to any body. But if you will send the money to the undersigned the soldiers' graves will get it. There is to be a big circus here next Tuesday and I wish the soldiers' graves had all the money that will be laughed away that day. But the folks must laugh sometime, I reckon, and the children do enjoy a show so much and there has not been one here in three or four years, so we are going to let them go and see the animals. Everybody loves to see wild animals. My wife says she wants to go and would like the , pleasure of my com pany. Well, I don't want to go My circus time is out, . but I may 1 be forced to go. 1 may be inveigled into it. The women and children need protection on such occasions. My first great grief was be cause my father wouldn't let me go to a circus. The tent was very near to our house, and there was a great high rock not far away, and my mother let me climb upon it, where I could hear the clown and see a little bit between the upper and low er curtains, and I was happy The other boys were all inside and I could't exactly under stand why it was right for them and wrong for me. My father came home and saw me perched upon that rock, and he releuted and let me go in with my Uncle Jake, and my happiness wps completed. , And so our school aboard voted to give a holiday to the pupils of our public school and now there are two or three hundred happy children in Cartersville.

The thirty bushels will weigh about nine hundred pounds. Take 200 pounds of good acid phosphate and one hundred pounds kainit and mix thor oughly, then scatter evenly on the manure. Take next thirty bushels green cotton seed and distribute evenly over the pile, and wet them thoroughly ; they will weigh nine hundred pounds; take again two hun dred pounds acid phosphate and one hundred pounds kai nit : mix, and spread over the seed ; begin again on the ma nure and keep on this way building up your heap, layer by layer, until you get it as high as convenient, then cover with blx inches of rich earth from fence oorners, then leave Ever since the Farmers' Alliance movement was i lautrarated, tbe uninitiated and ineligible public baa been racked witb cariosity to learn the secrets ot tbe order and their mode of breaking in' new members.

Now we have thirty bushels of manure, weighing nine hundred- pounds, and three hundred pounds chemical in the first layer; and thirty bushels cotton seed, weighing nine hundred pounds, and three hundred pounds of chemicals in the eecond layer ; and these two layers combined form the perfect compost.

" FARMER BELL, Farmer Bell did not believe in mental or moral sugar plums in his own family circle. He was quite willing to commend friend or acquaintance, but he had a theory that his own family would be best improved by a Spartan discipline. The children must learn to do their duty without praise ; and as for his wife, she had toiled for nf teen years without once being told that she was a satisfactory housekeeper, ! One night the two came home from a tea party at a neighbor's house, and Mrs. Bell, with the courage of the meek, said : 'Ezra, it seems to me 1 heard vou praising the mottoes the Smith girls worked.' 'Yes, I did,' said Mr. Bell 'Real pretty for nonsense.' 'Your own girls made some iust like 'em. You'd better praise them. It'll tickle 'em to death. And didn't I hear you say that squash pie was power ful nice ?' Woll AT Iranrla, it WJLS a ETOOd pie.' i 'Was it a mite better'n mine, Ezra?' Well, no, can't say it 'twas.' When have you ever said one , word to praise a pie or a cake Referring to the opinion en tertained by some people, that the public schools are of no benefit to the children of the State, and should be abolished, he said that there are 300,000 white persons of school age in North Carolina and not more than. 20,000 are attending all the private schools in the State, from the University down Abolish the public schools, and 17 out of 18 children in the State will be without the means of acquiring any education whatever. It is boasted, s?id he, that North Carolina is doing great things for public educa tion, when the fact is that the average school tax of each citi zen is 40 cents, against an aver age of 32.00 in the other States of the Union. South Carolina is the only State where the average is lower, and there it Is only one cent below North Carolina. Prof. Mclver nolds the opin ion that an educated women is worth more than an educated man. Being fully impressed with this idea, he has reflected a great deal upon the'fact that the State discriminates against the girls in favor of the boys in regard to higher education. During the past hundred years, the university has been main tained by liberal appropriations of State money for boys exclu sively; and but recently, the Agriculiural and Mechanic al College has been established with generous aid from the State, and that too, is for boys alone. While the law has placed it within the. means of the boys of the State to obtain a liberal education with a small jexpenditure of money, legislatures have turned a deaf ear to all appeals on behalf of the girls. He believes that light is breaking through the dark ness, and that it will not be long before the girls will be given a fair chance.

In Que season the glid tidings w -re conveyed to me that I had been balloted for aud accepted, and boiling over with eager eratincatiou, followed by my conductor into the wood-room ad joining tbe main building.
