One of my lady friends wrote me a few days ago she was going to wed soon to one of the most stylish and handsome young men of her city, but said he was one of the wildest in the city. She said she admired him because he was so stylish. My! my! What a sad mistake, never judge by ap pearances, A ragged vest may cover a bosom in which there is a heart of noblest impulses and attained to sweetest strains of goodness. The girls are trying to learn Jim to string sacks. He doesn't like the job, but prefers courting. But oh; my that little word "no" mikes him feel like he is in a wasps nest He keeps cheerful and says "disappointment sinks the heart of man but the renewal of hope gives consolation." Ros Clark has a beautiful crop of corn and has layed by same. But I must say it doesn't beat my mellon patch. If they con tinue to grow and do well guess I will have to have a mellon sliceing. My little niece and I have just returned from a pleasant stroll through the green forest We gathered a quanity of brooms and some beautiful flowers. Dear mother met us with a pleas ant smile and was delighted to get the beautiful flowers. I have so often thought what would be home without a mother, and with this thought I went to my room and retired for a short evening nap- I lay asleep in my lonely chamber and was awaken ed by a heavy clash of thunder. Going to my window I discovered that a shower had passed. I gazed on my yard robed in its mantle of green. Oh, how grand. How magnificent the little flow ers looked peeping from their hiding places. Where is mother? In her rocking-chair, rocking to and fro, ready to share our little joys and sorrows. It saddens our hcarU as we gaze at mother in the shades of life, and think the charms ' of home will soon be broken. What is home without i mother? Would the beautiful blooming rosea make our hearts happy if mother was gone? Oh how happy it is for the little ones to return heme and lay their toys at mothers feet and tmhk flow sad it would be to return home and find mother's vacant chair, There is no one to fill mothers vacant chair. Three of the .sweetest words in the Eng- ish language are mother, home and heaven. , M. K. C. Mcrla!) Kentionlccs. (Left out lost week by mistake.)

If the farmers ever escape from under the heels of trust and combine, they will have to unite a3 . all other enterprises have united.
