Mr. Cephus Roberts, a Connecti cut farmer gives a sad illustration of pessimism. i, Mr. 1 Roberts , is prosperous in worldly affairs, but we judge that he is Jiota happy man. f . We are led to this conclusion by the following ad vertisemenVin ft newspaper publish ed near the home of Mr. Roberts. 'Wanted A thief to occupy my place near Jessup's; preferone that has been in State's prison two years; no honest man need apply. Ceph us Roberts.'.'- It appears that Mr. Roberts has been unfortunate in a tenant who appropriated some of his movable property. Of one of them he says i'He was.called an honest man. and I let him have the farm and did not ask for' any rentXl thought he was'suare, and ! even Jet the hay atav there in the barn.

Fooled, b'gosh f I am going to see if a thief is really as bad as a person who has the reputation of being hon est " A thief I watch; an honest man well, I'll be durned if I don't watch him now." Mr. Roberts generalizes too hastily. The fact that he has found one man to be a thief should not destroy his faith in all other men who claim to be honest The man who distrusts everybody is not' only miserable; but (arouses the, suspicion that he himself would bear, watching.

Our State needs well educated men in all lines of engineering, especially me chanical and electrical engineering, and also in cotton manufactuifng. For the development of our natural resources, we need also thousands of skilled workmen, expert carpenters, wood-turners, blacksmiths, mach inists,, mechanics, mill workers, electricians, and dynamo tenders. The A. & M. College trains lads for such work, and if they possess tal ent, educates them for all technical professions.

It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preven tive of suffering we feed it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. We have known and used this medicide in our lamuy tor twenty years and have always found it reliable In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is await ed. We do not believe in depend ing implicity on any mrdicine for a cure, but we do believe thai u a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and ad ministered at the inception ofan at tack much suffering might be avoid ed and in very many cases the pre sence of a physician -would not be required; At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years.

When I was attending school in Hillsboro, in 1880, I broke out. ter ribly with scrofula. It had been in my system for years, but finally de veloped itself when I was a girl 14 years old. My throat commenced swelling, largo lumps came under my arms so that 1 could hot use them even to feel myself, my knees became enormously swollen and I could not walk a step. My suffer- ing cannot be described. 1 could not got my arms down to my body, my body was so swolleu. I was attended by the best physicians for two months, but they gavtt me ho relief, whatever, lhe breasts were lanced several times, but it did no good and gave no relief. Finally I was carried to my home, about two miles from Caldwell Institute, on a bed, perfectly helpless. This was in March. A friend told me of Mrs. Joe' Person's wonderful Remedy. At that time she did not have it In the drug store, and my father sent a jug to her home in Franklin coun ty and bought a gallon or her Remedy. By the time I took it I could walk some with a cane. We sent and got two more gallons, and I continued taking it until the win ter, when I seemed to be perfectly well, and started back to school in Hillsboro, In January. Three years after that I felt symp toms of the trouble again, as the glands of my neck "commenced to swell. My lather at once put me on the Remedy again, and kept me on it all that spring and until cold weather, when I was perfectly cur ed. Iam now 32 years old and have never had vestige of the trou ble since, and my health is excel lent, and all owing to that wonder ful medicine, Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. It's effect in my case was like the working of, a miracle. 1 would have been l i my grave years ago had I not heard of it. Mrs. W.P.Day. Olive Hill, Person Co., N. C, Sept. 30, 1898. James II.

Leave them In tbe field until well cur ed, and you will Hive a fine quality of hay. Stack put up this way will stand some ralu If capped well with vines ot grass. My brothers and I then decided that we needed a niower ana raae, so we bouelit an outfit and commenced sowing peas on our stubble land, and for a number of years wo have Deen making one bay la this way. 1 tow from one-half bushel to one bushel to acre and mow them wben .tbe ' first pods begin to get ripe.

Be careful to leave the neia smooth for the mower by using a good smoothing harrow or by dragging a good pole over It We cut our own bay, and our neighbors soon began to call on us to cut for them. One friend bad Bermuda grass on his creek bottom land. He had tried for years to kill It out, but bad concluded to level , the land and try Mf'. iO he asked ub to cut It on shnres. We would get two cut tlnns each rear, in Juuo and in Sep tember, and at each time would get about 2,000 to 8,000 pounds, 1 to 1V4 tons, to the acre from live acros. ' We bought these Ave acres from our friend, paying blm $50 au acre, and , be went to work and prepared other lands for bar. ,' -.-' ;.;;.' 1 Most of our farmers who own bottom lands bnve decided that the hay crop Is more profitublo than to try to worfc it In corn, especially where it Is well set in Bermuda. We find a good market for all the bay we can make at borne, supplying our neighbors who believe in all cotton. I see one of your corre SDondcnts thinks Bermuda a good thing for upland and that It will recuperate the iaud. I think it Is fine for pasture lands whero you expect to use it for that purpose, but would advise all to keep it away from the fields you ex pect to cultivate. '. . Boateatada Cardea Weedere.
