A correspondent of the German- town-Telegraph gives his opiniolfJ of Ihe difficulty with many people in his end of the country in get ting along. Hi3 ideas, are as fol lows: "There is being1 so ranch said iu the country about hard times and the scarcity of money, and as ev erybody has a cause and knovts a remedy, I thought I would write to tell your readers what I think is the cause. The trouble is we buy more than we produce. There is too mucn Hour ana bacon .shipped here every year. The things we onght to make at Lome we are baying. "We let our timber rot and buy our plow stocks, singletrees, axe handles, hoe handles and fencing. "We throw away our ashes and buy soap and axle grease. "We give away our beef hides and buy hame strings and shoe strings. "We let our manure go to waste and buy guano. "We buy garden seed in the spring and cabbage in the winter. We let our lands go up in weeds and buy our brooms. "We build school houses and hire teachers and send our children off to be educated. "We land a five cent fish with a $4 fishing-rod. "We send a fifteen cent boy out with a $20 gun and a $4 dog to kill birds. "We raise dogs and buy wool. "And about the only .thing in this country that there is an over production of is politics and dog tics." Glad He Obeyed. Bonhain (Texas) News. I have a little story to tell you boys. One day a long, hot day it had been, too I met my father on the road to town. "I wish you would take this pacljage to the village with you J1 nesaia, nesunmgiy , . ... .,, .... Nnw. T was a bneof 12. not. fond of work, and just out of the hay held where 1 had been since daybreak. I -was tired, dusty and hungry. It was two miles to town. I wanted to get my snpper and dress for singing class. My first impulse was to refuse, and to do it harshly, for I was vexed that he should ask me after my long day's work. If I lefused he would go himself. He was a gentle, patient old man. But isometninsr stonDea me one oi God's good angel3, 1 think. "Of course, father, I'll take it," I said heartily, giving my scythe to one of the men. He gave me the package. "Thank yon, Jim," he said., ' was going myself, but somehow I don't feel very strong to-day." He walked with me to the road that turned off to town, and as he left me he put his hand on my arm saying again: "Thank you, my son. You have always been ' a good boy to me, Jim," I hurried to'town and came back again. wnen l came near tne house I saw a crowd of farmhands at the door. One of them came to me, with tears rolling down his face. "Your fathel" he said. "He fell dead just as he reached the house. 'The last words he spok were to you.' "I am an old man now, hut I have thanked God over and over again, all - the years- that I have passed since that hour, that those last words were: "You've always been good to me, Jim." No human being ever yet was sorry for love or kindness shown to others. But there is no pang of remorse so keen as the bitterness with which we remember neglect or coldness which we have shown 1 to loved OhCS whO afe dead 1 ThrA dftVB work lust 110 W will .

It will not be amiss at this time to throw out a few hints on the two words at the head of this ar ticle. As fashion seems to be the order of the.day with some people, why not some leading church-goer xset the fashion, when they go to church to take seats as far up as possible and not sit on the end of the pew and be a stumbling block in the way of others who come in after them. Some big fat persons who are iu the habit of sitting on the e"Hd of the pew don't want to be bothered in getting up and down and hav ing their corns mashed, and it is a general thing that people don't love to squeeze by in order to get a seat. So it is unpleasant and in convenient allround. My advice to you is to "sit along." It is necessary now for deacons and stewards to keep the end of the pews because they have to wait upon the congregation to take up the collections, etc. I am told that in olden times it was necessary that certain persons should sit on the end with their muskets to keep off the Indians. We live in a more enlightened and civilized age and that is not nec essary, so be in keeping with the times and "sit along." Church Member. The Fayetleville Observer com menting on the above says: "A correspondent in this issue takes to task those persons that go to church and take the end seats nearest the aisles. It is an ugly practice and is probably commit ted in all churches. It is very em harassing to people who have to crowd by these inconsiderate per sons, and also to ushers who are j often held responsible for not prop erly arranging the early comers. It is a bad habit and should be abandoned." The Darkoy. ami His Check. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "One of the incidents of the boom at Chattanooga, which hap pened to fall under my immedi ate observation, interested me greatly," said a T-ennesseean. "A uegro there had come into owner ship of a small piece of real estate worth, when he got it, about $100. During the boom this property be came very desirable, and could probably have been bought for a few hundred dollars had the would be-purchaser not scared the darkey by offering him several thousand, but a deal was finally closed for $10,000 and the darkey went to the bank with a eheck to get the money. "How do you want it?" asked the cashier. "Gib it to me in silber." The cashier began to pile up the sacks of silver and the negro's eyes grew bigger and bigger. Finally he could stand it no longer. "Stop, boss," he said, "gib me a dollah and a half and keep the res fer me." Breaks the Monotony. Brenham Banner. An editor's life walk is not al ways along flower-lined banks of purling streams, and his dreams are sometimes haunted by visions of duelistic results. Only Thurs day the Banner reporter got ''blest out" in great shape by an indig nant widow about some truthful assertion in a funeral notice. Re turning from this little diversion from the dull monotony, he found a challenge to mortal combat on his desk with only one -provision of escape and that to leave town. Ik's a dull day when some one rdoes not have an imaginary griev ance, but these little ripples . in the reportorial current only serve to varyjthe tread mill monotony of the task and lend interest to the work, and cause us to wojder what ragged edge of nature will next be ruffled by some unsuspect ing remark, never intended 'to wound and. only pnblished because it is the news and trufl " ChildrenJCry for Pitcher's Castoria. 7 INTENSIVE FARMlSCr. v '" "--.V --. BY A. GEORGIA PARMIR. t - . ; r v - Intensive farming has been dis cussed through the Southern Culti vator very; extensively by your correspondent, in order to make oor farmers feel interest in a more scientific way of farming. Surely, by this time this interest has been awakened and they are "looking up," 60 to speak, and' making ready for the battle to be fought in 1894; doing it on more scientific principles than heretofore. Intensive farming is- the one thing needed, and is the only road uow to final snccess ia fatming. No time should be lost in giving this subject perfect thought oh the part of every intelligent Southern farmer. Every farmer should now be at his post, pushing his soil with all his might, to its utmost capacity; making three barrels of corn where one grows now, "and three bales of cotton in place of the one bale hitherto; and so on through all the agricultural products. The price of cotton has been very unsatisfactory to the farmer for the past two years. He has been making cotton below the co3t of production, and now the crisis has come upon the farmer as to who shall be able tq stand in read justing farm matters. One of the farmer's greatest helps now lies in the inteusive method of farming. We are compelled to do this and to change the ofd style, in order to compete with the world we must adopt the intensive system. It is not expected that the farm er ca'n in one year, turn his whole plantation into the intensive meth od of farming, but he can take five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or one hundred acre?, accord ing to hia ability, and begin with giving force to h'i3 crops by plow ing deep, at first breaking and rapid culture, by the use of good borne mude manure, with heavy applications of the paine, mixing well with the soil. A farmer should not reot satisfied until hc has pushed his land to the fullest capacity cf the so 1, not by the u e of chemical fertilizers only, but by the use of some good home-made manure and the broadcaetTug of peas and other plants that will grow the most vegetable matter on the soil. Southern Cultivator. Pension Curiosities. It is stated as a curious fact that there are now, nearly thirty years after the civil war, 800,000 more persons getting pensions than there were troops in the field on the Union side at any single time during the war. Yel there are 700,000 applications for pensions yet to be acted upon. In June, 1893, the pensiou roll had 900,012 and 711,150 claims were pending. The outgo for pensions was $159, 155,342, a figure which exceeds all the pensions paid by all the na tions in the world for all their wars, we "pay twice as mucn as all put together. In fact, if we capitalize our pension payments we find that we are in effect pay ing interest on a bonded debt equal to the true valuation of all the property in the seceded States in 1861, which was some $5,000,- 000,000. The war cost $3,000,000,- 000; pensions since have cost $1,- 500,000,000. It would have been economical to have settled the dif ferences of 1861 on a cash basis. The Strongest Timber Known. The strongest timber is said to be that known as 4bilian," or Borneo ironwood, whose breaking strain is 1.52 times that of English oak. It is a hard, durable wood o a dark brown color, turning to a deep red when seasoned, and be coming as black as ebony on. long exposure. It has the prop erty of neither swelling nor shrink ing under any degree of dryness or humidity. Its weight is sixty pounds per square foot, that of lig num viCae being eighty-tbree, box wood eighty pounds, ebony seventy-four pounds and African oak sixty-two pounds. - The Kingdom of Home. Let home stand first. No mat ter how high your ambition, no matter how far your taleuta or your itifluenJe taay reach, before everything elsa baild up" a 'true home. Be not its slave; be iU minister. Let it not be enough that it is swept and garnished, that its eilver is brilliant, that its food is delicions, but feed the love in it. The from ita wal'e shall come forth the true woman and the true man. What honor can be greater than to fonnd such a home ? What dignity higher than to reign iU honored mistress? What is the ability to speak from a public platform or the wisdom that can command a seat on the judge's bench, compared to that which can insure and preside over a true home? To be the guiding etar, the ruling spirit in such a home is higher than to rule an empire. Br'enham Banuer. Why Editors Are Unbelievers. Rev. Dr. Talmago gives the following sensible reasons why j skepticism exists among the new?. I paper men: "One of the great- a.ali I est inais oi me newspaper pro- ; fession is that its members are j compelled to seo rnoro of the shams of the world than any oth- j er profession. Through all the newspaper offices passes day af- i ter day all the wickedness of the world, all church bickerings, all vanities that want to be repaired j and all the mistakes that want ' to be corrected, and all the dull ! speakere that want to bo eloquent, j all the nieannes? that wants t get its name noticed gratis in it.- ! columns, in ord"r to pave the tax Jt the advertis:uiz column?; all i the crack-philosophers with sto- ! ries as lona as tbeir hair anrl as - gloomy as their fuces. Through theetl itorial and reportorial room? all the follies and ehams of th. world are seen day after day and the temptation is to believe in neither Ood, man nor woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession there are skep tics. 1 only wonder thai jour nalists believe anything." Kx. It is not work people want, or! hoy would not in vent or welcome abor saving machines and de vices. v tiat tuey want is th results of work, and the less work these can be got with the tetter.
