The brewer ran ride in a roach and pair. The drinker must trudge on the road. One gt'U through the world with a jaunty air. The other bend under a load. The brewer gets money and friends, my lads, While the drinker 'a left poor and alone; If you'd have your share of good things, take rare And leave the liquor alone. You'll enjoy pid health, and you'll gain in wealth, If you leave the liquor alone. A man full of malt isn't worth his salt; Then "Ieave the liquor alone!" A drinker is ready to own at last.

Come and See a lot of the finest horses that have been of fered on this market in years, every one of them well bred Virginia and Tennessee horses. They were selected with care and bought direct from the raiser. We all know that Virginia or Tennessee horses are better adapted to this section than those brought from other states. If you want a fine har ness horse that carries his head up and tail over the dash board, a pleasure to drive and something to be proud of, or a good saddle or combination horse we have it, all young, well broken, good action and uualitics right. Our Mr. E. W. GritTin w ill do his best to suit you in every way. Remember we pay the highest market price for cotton and cotton seed and sell heavy and fancy groceries at rock bottom prices. Come TEACHING AGKIct LTlKG. No. of a Series of Articles Pre pared fur The Progressive Farm cr by the Authors of the Text book, Agriculture lor Itoglnners. Every farmer ly is interentfd in animals, but ho is rarely taught anything about the U-nt way to feed these animal. He would de light to learn ou so practical a ib ject. If our farm boys could be taught mi to balance rations as to im-miM? the yield from our corns just ten per rent, then forty mil lion dollars would, without addi tional exwt, lie annually gained in America. It is not worth while to multiply examples. It is clear that iu mak ing any sort of talior more intelli gent vou make it more economical and ctlicieut lleuce you increase the wealth of not only the laltorer, tint of the country. "Perfect agriculture," sav the great Lichig, "is the true founda tiou of trade and industry it is the foundation of the richest ol States.'' Ignorance is the most costly t-siuuiodity ever on the market. In the second place, agriculture should le taught iu our schools for its cultural value. It is not enough for a man to know that cow m-;im in crease the fertility of land, lie 'should know how they do this jut as he is taught in geography how .the earth turns on its axis, lb ought to know why deep plowing makes better crops just as he knows how to work a problem in arithme tic.

"I'l . ... creased by knowing how bacteria make milk sour, how germs asaiM iu cheese-making, how mdies help plants, why drainage is good for soil, how plants feed and drink, how fertilizers arc used, and count less other facts that aie as easily taught us the facts of history or ge ography and are far more enter taining and useful. This subject has been assigned to the tilth grade. Ilowever.iii schools that are not strictly graded, classes may be formed to include all stu dents old enough to lie interested in so vital a study. Experience has shown wherever agriculture has been taught that it is not a dry subject. Children In come more interested iu it than in any other of their studies il they are encouraged to work out simple exercises and thus to use their own observational powers. Teachers will find that the subject will be a delight and recreiUiou to their pu pils. It should lie Itorne in mind that such simple exercises as are suggested iu the text and in bulle tins take little or no time in prep aration or in presentation, that they cost nothing, and that Ihey will alike rest tired teacher and pupil, and that, Is'st of all, they will sharpen habits of seeing things at first hand and habits of original thought. Some teachers say, "I cannot teach my pupils how they should plow, hoe, ditch, sow, harrow, reap, thresh, milk, churn, make butter, feed animals, and do the countless things done on the farm.'' The answer to this objection is found in the fact that the law re iiiiring yon to teach agriculture did not und docs not expect you to do this. Most of these things can lie learned only on the farm, and many of your pupils already are familiar with the simple mechan ical operations. The object of your teaching is to present, not the HOW, but the WHY of these things in odcr that iu kuowing the WHY, the how may be better und more intelligent ly done. You are not to try to show a pupil how to plow, but you can teach him from the text what is to be accomplished by plow ing, I ENJOY GOOD HEALTH i The CrjJic of Tear. ( Events Large and Small.

Htill the tragedy reeats itself, aud year alter year, ami day alter day, the unlocked door is oh-ih-i1 and dethroned virtue enters - the victim of ignorance awl pa-ssion and alleetion, and a child is rohlicd of in honorable home.

You can take the pict ures in the Issik and teach pupils the common insect pests, and tell them how to destroy them, and the common sense of your pupils will lead th in to do this. You have no dairy in which to teach butter making, but you can easily have pupils learn that paying customers want a granular, neatly packed package of butter, and when tin y open a dairy they will make this sort of butter. Iu short, a teaching of the simple truths that lie at the door of suc cessful farming is all that iscxcct ed and reiiired of yon, aud these you can readily get from a study of your text. Teachers know that it is not the laxly of facts required that makes the successful man or woman. It is the facility given by study, the The Blind Cotton Picker. When one hears of thuiisaiidsand millions of dollars given to cam pain funds, to build great colleges, endow great universities, and es tablish great libraries, or w hen he looks out upon a land w aist deep in plenty, or even when he si-cs multitudes of men aud women go ing their ways rejoicing in the lull powers of sense, mind and IxMy. it is with a strange feeling that he reads the unutterably pathetic item from the Chesterfield, S.

Thosk w ho feared that Japan got tixi little iu the treaty of M-aceaud that Russia was uot Hullicieutly crippled to cease to molest her iu the Cast, may calm their fears. The treaty that was signed last week Is-tween Japan and Great Ki itaiu is more disastrous to ltus siau hopes than was the treaty at I'oM.Muoiith. This treaty bet ween the two island kingdoms is Isith offensive and defensive. The par ties bind themselves to help each other iu case either is attacked un der certain conditions. If Japan is attacked in eastern Asia, England w ill put her fleets and armies iu the Held at her friend's reouest. It Kngland is attacked in India, Japan will do likewise. Now, India is England's vulnerable spot, pat tic ulai ly so far as Russia is concerned, aud she has for sometime Is-en strengthening her army there. This is the greatest stroke that she could have made, for the efficiency of Japan as an ally cannot be doubted now, and no two powers on the glols; could tight Japan aud Eng land. It is as much to the interest of England as to Japan to keep Russia out of eastern Asia, and her guarantee to help Japan do this job is a small price to pay for Ja pan's guarantee to help her keep the lear out of India, for this coun try is handy to him, and it is lx- lieved that he has for a long time cast hungry eyes that way. The millions of yellow men iu India art ruled by a few white nieu sent out from England, and were there ever a general uprising, encouraged by Russia and enforced by Russian armies, hngiaiiil alone could not cope with. 'Tis not the great tragedies that make up the world's emotions.

How often do we hear it said of lueu who are near the journey's end, that they are just as anxious to make a dollar as they ever were. This is generally true, but we often misconstrue the motive of that de sire. Manv ol tne men against whom the charge is made, work on to make dollars, not Is-cause they love the dollars but because they love the woik that they have al ways lieen accustomed to do. They do uot always understand this fact themselves, aud many of them nev er think of the matter ut all, but we are satisfied that this is the last analysis of the fact.'

This attachment to one s me worn is immense, ami alniiit the saddest sight to be found is an old man w ho hits Is-en taught to Is-licve that he ought to retire and is wondering about iu an ni:n less sort of way waiting to die. The idea of dying in harness is not a sentimental one. It is a necessity for most men. The old man or woman who is forced to give up the old home or the old business to "rwt" or to go live w ith the chil dren, is generally doomed to a few years of misery w hen these years should lie the happiest of tlieii lives.
