Pearls of Thought.
No one should so fear being
egotistic as to ovoid the society of
iheir own conscience.
It will make more difference to
those who refuse to see the truth,
than to the truth itself.
Information is the literal form
of knowledge; if not derived from
experience; it is deceit.
.It does not follow that a man
should have more authority be
cause of his superior knowledge.
A man mistakes conceit for wis-
dom«when he cannot bear to listen
to an idea at variance wetb his own.
Progress is derived from hon-
essy, while to be a successful de-
ceiver, training is absolutely nec
essary.
The man who mistakes a form
for a fact, is also ignorant of the
method- by which a success is
achieved.
The more one knows about the
past, and what the future will be,
the less they know about the pres
ent.

Farm and Garden Notes.
The hen that lays in winter
doesjjnot breakfast, dine and sup on
cold corn and ice water.
It is said that if mice holes are
filled with chloride of lime the ro
dents will qnit the premises.
Be sure that all the animals, es
pecially the young, have warm
quarters and a good bed to lie on
at night.
Regularity is a prime virtue in
feeding stock, and next in impor
tance to well-balanced, full ra
tions.
The feeding standards should
be considered as guides, and not
as formulas to be implicitly fol-
' lowed.
To insure success put your
products into the market in a su
perior condition, and have them of
a little better quality than others.
Not many are aware of it, but a
covered barnyard is a paying insti
tution—better than spreading ma
nure on the snow and ice.

The people who ^fecceed in life
are those who work to a purpose.

The present cotton season has

of the South have had for years.

of ascertaining for what they are
fitted.
Thousands’of people are. wear
ing their lives away at work with
out any programme of their efforts,
and with no special object; to ac-
somplish. They enter upon some
vocation as a tempereary arange-
nient whereby they hope in some

chance some other opening may

prosecuting the business upon
which they may have entered, and
therefore have no definite end to
work to. The invariable result in
such instances is that little or
nothing is accomplished.
Reader, it matters not what your
circumstances and surroundings
may be, if you would succeed in
life, you must map out a pro
gramme to follow, must fix in your
mind definitely what vocation yon
will pursue, must have a settled
purpose to accomplish and work to

A SOUND DEGAS. OPINION.
E. Bainbridge Mnnday, Esq.
County Atty., Clay Co., Tex., says:
“Have used Electric Bitters with
most happy-results. My -brother
also was very low with Malarial
Fever and Jaundice, but was cured
by timely use of this- medicine.
Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved
Ms life.
r. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse
Cave, Ky.,; adds a- like testimony,
saying: He positively believes he
would have died, had it not been
for Electric Bitters.
This great remedy will ward off,
as well as cure all < Malarial Dis-
on hand at Liverpool and the
mills, and no doubt the excellent
advice given to planters by the
Farmers’ Alliance, not to hurry
their cotton to market beyond the
requirements of their necessities,
also had a good effect in securing
fair opening prices. Then there
has been a lively and prolonged
contest between the “bulls” and
the “bears,” the former maintain
ing the advantage for most of the
season, and- there has been a good
and well sustained demand for cot
ton goods.
All these conditions have work
ed together for the benefit of plant
ers throughout this season, but
they may be materially changed
during the next season. The stocks
on hand may be larger; the bulls
may become bears; the demand
for cotton goods may not be so
great—to say nothing of possible
financial changes that may be
prejudicial to most business inter
ests.
In view of probable contingen
cies such as these, the policy of
cotton planters would seem to be
to continue the plan of marketing
judiciously, and not to be lured by
the success of this season into
planting too large a crop. The
needs of the farm for its independ
ent support should be the prime
object, bearing in mind that tMs is
the safe and conserative policy in
times of low prices for the money
crop and' other unfavorable cir
cumstances.
Can Scirrhus Cancer be Cured?
This is a hard question to an
swer. Swift’s Specific has cured
thousands of cases of Skin Cancer,
and there have been many cases
of Scirrhus Cancer reported cured
by it. We do say that S. S. S. is
worth a trial in any case of cancer.
We append a statement from Miss
Green, of Tallapoosa, Ga.:
In 18841 had a small lump in
my left breast, which proved to be
a cancer. The first remedy I tried
was to have it burned off. This
did not cure it, for shortly after
wards it broke out again in amneb
worse form. I then consulted our
druggist, who advised me to try
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.), and af
ter taking about one dozen bottles,
was completely cured, and my gen
eral health was greatly improved.
This has been over six years ago,
and my cancer has never appear
ed since, nor has it troubled me in
any way. I can cheerfully recom
mend Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) to
any one suffering with cancer.

The Highbury Strict Baptist
church in London admitted to
membership without regular im
mersion a lady afflicted with de
formity, which made it almost im
possible for her to undergo the
ceremony of immersion. For this
the church was expelled from the
organization of Strict Baptist
churches, and; after a long fight,
the congretion and elders have just
acknowledged their mistake in
“having .been too ready to accept
the plea of impossibility,” and the
matter Las "been setted by the im-?
mersion of the lady seated in a
specially constructed chair, and
wearing a dress specially design
ed for the occasion. Upon this
the church has been restored to
membership.
It is said there is a woman in
New York state who 'is so. short
she has to stand on a chair to reach
the top of her head.

They Were So jliselieivoas.

Two grizzly old girls got into a
Brooklyn street car the other day
and chatted playfully from oppo
site: sides of the' car. They -were
so artless and cunning, even at
their advanced age, and made the
time pass pleasantly.
“Our mutual friend—you know
who I mean—was down to see me
the other evening,” said . one, as
she giggled in a very amusing
manner. “I saw him out on tne
sidewalk. Of course I knew he
wanted to come in, bathe is so
boyish and I am so full o'f mischief
that I just let him stay out in the
cold a good long time. Then I
went to. the window and he picked
up courage to come in. I never
saw any one so smitten as he is.
Isn’t it ridiculous?”
The other girl giggled through
tis recital.and then entertained ns
with her. romance:
“You would have laughed fit to
kill yourself could you have seeD
George the night of our church fair.
It was just too comical the way he
huDg around me. I introduced him
to every pretty girl at the fair, but
the silly goose had eyes for no one
but poor me. He bought a lead
pencil, a necktie and a collar-but
ton at my table and would have
bought a lot of other thinSs, bat
just told him he shouldn’t do it. I
knew he didn’t need them one bit
ana was just doing it for me. I try
to make myself look as hideous as
ever I can whenever I think I’m
going to meet him, for really and
truly I don’t care the SDap of my
fingers for him. • I tolerate him ont
of mischief and nothing else."
And thus these two “little mis
chiefs,” each about forty-five, help
us to beguile the weary moments.
