It is to be hoped that the, newspapers throughout the country will continue to try and impress upon the farmer, that it will be to his interest to plant smaller crops and make them better. J. M.

Airs'. Carlisle is the daughter of. Major John A. Goodson, one of the old ar istocrats of Kentucky. -he was sent to school at Covington, where she recti ved a classical and society edu cation. In'tcmperament she is vi yacious, genial and pleasant, with a eharming, open manner. During a jeccnt conversation with Susan B. Anthony, she expressed; herself as delighted with the chu rage and en ergy j displayed by the woman's rights people whereupon Miss An thony suggested that; Mrs. Carlisle pught to know more o'f the woman suffragists, personally. To this Mrs. Carlisle responded, that it was doubt less because she did not know them nearer, that she esteemed them so biuch. Mrs. Carlisle has been in Washington for nine years. She is the mother of two sons, W. K. and L J. Carlisle, both young lawyers at Wichita. Kansas. Coming from a border State, Mrs. Carlisle' serves as a connecting -lirtk between the, partisans and at her gatherings no one class predominates. During the. ash; ngtoii season she receives on edhesdjavk The Astonished Drummer. I I.euUton .Tour.-!. The Rev. .A. E. Dunning, D.

He has none of theJ outward signs of the clerical calling, but looks more like a business man. He travels nearly all of the time, and he says that in the cars he gen erally passes as a d rummer and is recognized by the fraternity as one of their number.

"All right. 1'il be there, but I'll bet you i won't !'' The drumnier-.was there according to his promise, and could hardly be lieve his eyes when he saw his friend of the night before ascend to the pul j pit.

In Orleans, during the present century,! the following was written concern ing the! marcou : "If a man is the seventh son of his father without any female intervening, he is a mar cou i he has on some' narts of his . , body the mark of a fleupde lis, and like the kings of France, he has the power of curing the king's evil. All! that is necessary to effect a cure is that the marcou should breathe upon the. part affected, or that the sufferer should touch the mark of the fieur de lis. Of all the marcous of the Orleannais, he of Ormes is the best known and the most celebrated. Every year; from twenty, thirty, for ty leagues around, crowds of patients come to visit him ; but it is particu larly in holy week that his power is most efficacious ; and on the night of Ciood Friday, from midnight to sunrise, the cure i certain.

The eloquent and erratic Tom Mar shall, of Kentucky, xyas once deliver ing an address in Buffalo, X. Y. As was usual, he began in a low tone bf voice. Some one in the rear of the hall yellpdj "Louder, louder," sev eral times. Marshall stood the in terrupt idn some time, then advanc ing to the front of the platform, he raised his impressive voice to a tone that every body could hear, and said: "When the last great day comes and the angel Gabriel blows his trump to waken the quick and the dead, then, I suppose, some d d cuss from Buf falo will yell louder, louder." That ended further interruption. How to. Make the Farm Pay. ; '' j R. R. iMixire in Progressive Farmer. The question is .asked. "How ran I; roiike the farm pay ?'' The answer ' Ufliis question is, ,:Bv hon&st deal- lOsr with the land." H no rno -e than that w hich is just in a given contract.; Let a man make hls'contraet for a given amount of produce.. A sensible farmer has some idea jis to the natural capacity of any given plot of ground, and has no nght to pxpect unreasonably large yields. The first thing is to remove trom the lands all hindrances, such as waste water standing on the land. Proper draining is a necessity, on hills or valleys. . 1 " ' Then rocks, logs, brush and indeed everything ithat will obstruct or hin der the growth of plants ; let thare be no missing! hills a full stand and Jv?row-d(d for.iill development. . i.WLnCf preparatioiiTTl soil.

Last Monday evening Mr. G. W.

Mr. Gilmore left here Wednesday afternoon after eceiving1 another telegram saying that his brother could not possibly live. Mr. John W. Gilmore was shot through the bowels as he was approaching the jail with the mob, but whether he belonged to the mob, or was present from curiosity; we do not know. A so-called poem on the death, of the Poverty Hollow kid who was run over by a mule last week, was shoved under the "door last night with the accompanying statement that its publication would enlarge our circulation. That's all soft soap, and a mighty poor quality at that. From certain ear-marks we are sat isfied that Arabella Devoe Perkins wrote the alleged poem. If her father ever saw a copy of the Kid er it was in some one'lse's hands, and her mother is the lady referred to last week as dropping lead nickles into the contribution box. Arabella is average enough, but knows more about,pah handles than poetry.
