PEANUT BAGS.
For the good of the Peanut Industry, it has been
determined by the members of this association, that
it will be necessary to request the farmers to pack
their peanuts in new 68 inch and 70 inch 8 ounce
burlap bags, and when peanuts are packed in bags
different from the aboe, a deduction will be made
on the following basis:
Cotton bags, a deduction will be made 10c each.
Second hand bags a deduction will be made 10c each
. New 7 1-2 ounce bags 68 or 70 inches a deduction
will be made of 5c each
In view of the fact that some dealers in the past
have delivered 7 1-2 ounce bags on contracts fur 8
ounce bags, we would advise you to see that each
bale of 500-68 inch 8 ounce bags you receive weigh
472 1-2 pounds, and each bale of 500-70 inch 8
ounce bags weigh 486 1.2 pounds, exclusive of the
wrapping and cordage. If they run short of the
above weight, you are receiving 7 1.2 ounce bags
instead of 8 ounce bags.

01 D HADl FY where a re8lc'de of char'es 1 appeared "from
nowhere "and saved the panic stricken settlers
Old ilai lfy, a beautiful Xew England town, situated upon the east bank of t lie Coimceticnt River some
twenty miles north of Springfield, Mass., was a center nf (,'mit aelivity during the stirring Javs of King
l'hilip's 1 1 1 1 1 in ti wars. On Sept. 1, lUTi, while at worship in the village meeting house, the inhabitants of Old
lladlev were surprised by an attuuk upon their settlement by a horde nf Indians.
Abandoning worship, they seized their arms anil rushed out to defend their homes, but the suddenness of
the attack found them utterly demoralized. When the ronfusion was at its height there suddenly appeared
in their midst an unknown man of grave and elderly beuring, who itt once took command of the situation,
issued orders, rallied the defenders and in short order routed the redskins from the town. Then, as sud
denly as he had appeared, did the stranger effect his removal from the scene, and his identity for many years
remained a comparative mystery.
It whs later established that the deliverer of Iladley was General William Goffe, one of the three living
regicides nf Charles I. and for whose head a liberal bounty was offered. After years of pursuit from place to
flace he found safe hiding under the hospitable roof of Pastor John liussel of the Old lladlev congregation,
t is believed that after his spectacular deliverance of the Hadlev settlers he remained still undiscovered in
the Russol household until his death some five years later.
A beautiful state road winding up the '.'onneeticut valley takes thousands of autoists each year directly
bv the spoi v. here General Goffe rallied Hip inhabitants f old Hadlev to the defense of their homeii.

he is an easy mark, and his defeat
is foretold from the beginning.
Again and again tlte scientific blows
of his cool and quiet opponent beat
down his guard and are driven to
vital parts of his person, and blind

defense, to say nothing of offense.
And as in the sparring ring, so
in the larger circles of life. The
man who can with a smiling face
and stout heart meet the blows of
life, is armed for the fray, and vic

HUMOR OF A VANISHING RACE.
Religion Ain't Free.
WITH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF TWENTY.
A colored preacher once preached
on the theme "Salvation am free."
And, after delivering a powerful
sermon, he begun to take up a col-1
lection for his own salary. One
of the deacons got up and protes
ted and reminded the preacher that
he had just said that religion was
free and now that he was trying to
make them pay for it. The old
preacher replied : "I'm sorry
you makes it incumbent on me to
'spose your ignorance belore this
'er congregation; my brother, re
ligion am free just like water in
the river am free. You can go
down and drink yourself full and
it don't cost you a cent, but if you
has ther same water piped into
your house, you has to pay for it.
It's the same way with religion
you can go out doors and drink in
all the religion you want, but when
you comes in dis church and has
me pipe it into you, you has to pay
for it. Put something in the bas
ket, brother; put something in the
basket."

A SONG OF LIVING.
A negro going before a coroner's I
tury to give an account ot tne
death of a friend, who had been
run over by a railroad train, gave
his evidence somewhat as follows ;
"Me and Bill was walking down
the railroad track when he said to
me thai he was going to stop a lit
tle while and lie his shoe and he
would catch up with me. I walked
on and after a while the express
train came flying by. Then 1
waited a little while for Bill and
he didn't come and I walked back
up the track and saw on one side
of the track Bill's hat; I walked a
idle further up the track and saw
one of Bill's legs; I walked a little
further up the track and I saw one
of his arms; I walked a little fur
ther and 1 saw Bill s head, and
then I stopped and said to myself,
Something show has done hap
pened to Bill."
A MUTUAL WISH.
"I wish I were an ostrich," said
Hicks angrily as he tried to eat
one of his wife's biscuits.but could
not.
"I wish you were," returned
Mrs. Hicks. "I'd get a few feath
ers for my hat." Philadelphia

Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I have sent up my gladness on wings to be lost in the blue of the sky.
I have run and leapt with the rain, I have taken the wind to my breast.
My cheek like a drowsy child to the face of the earth 1 have presi.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I have kissed young Love on the lips, I have heard his song to the end.
I have struck my hand like a seal in the loyal hand of a friend,
lhave known the peace of heaven, the comfort of work done well.
I have longed lor death in the darkness and risen alive out of hell.
Because 1 have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I give a share of my soul to the world where my course is run.
I know that another shall finish the task I must leave undone.
I know that no flower, no flint was in vain on the path 1 trod.
As one looks on a face through the window, through life I have looked
on God.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CAS TO R I A
A train showed up at a busy
country station and a man was
seen to put his head excitedly out
of the window of one of the cars.
"There's a woman in here
fainted !" he cried. "Has any
one got any brandy or whiskey ?
Quick !"
Some one in the crowd on the
platform handed him a bottle. He
uncorked it frantically, put it to his
ips and took a noble pull.
"Ah 1" he sighed, "that's bet
ter. It always did upset me to see
a woman faint.'
PERSUASIVE.
Uncle Tobcy was a hospitable
soul. He wanted no guest in his
house to be stinted. ' Have some,
have some," he invited cordially
at the supper table, sending around
the platter for the third time;

RASMUS AIN'T HERE.
In passing Uncle Rasmus' cabin
one night a young man overheard
him praying, and walking up to
the door begun to listen. The
prayer ran something like this :
Oh, Lord, Rasmus is tired of de
troubles of dis life, send thy angel
down to take uncle Rasmus
home." Just then the young ntan
knocked on the door, and the
startled darkey said, "Who's dat?"
The answer came back, "This is
an angel to take uncle Rasmus
home." "Rasmus ain't here,"
replied the frightened old darkey.
