Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the

He is attracted by the laurels that men
have won in the pnlpit, at the' bar, on
the hnstings, on the battlefield, and on
the deck of a fighting ship. The course
of study that the schools have prescribed
for the boy tell him that to be great in
the eyes of the world he must preach a
great sermon, or write a great poem, or
make a great oration, or lead a grand
charge, or command a fleet of warships
from a bridge of a flagship in a naval
battle. How to win conquests from the
soil of mother earth, how to make the
fields blossom and ripen into a fruitage
of golden harvests, has been up to this
time, no part of of the training of the
boys in our schools. The book learning
of the academies has led away from the
hard and exacting manual toil on the
farm. In case where the boy has had

arraign with terrific emphasis the
wrong education, or the lack of all edu>
cation, that for ages past have been the
lot of the children on the farm. Not
nntil recent rears has the, world come
to recognize that agricultural pursuits
require as high form of development,
and as large a degree of intellectual
power, as may be required in any other
department of human endeavor.
The country boy will never stay on
the farm nntil he has been taught at
home and at school how to find the
beauty and the profit and the power
that reside in the fields as they are to
ba found nowhere else. We are late in
learning, bnt are nevertheless learnin,
last, that it is the business of the
school to train the children for the life
they are to lead after they have left the
school. »
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ARE NUMEROUS.
In recent years every State in the
Union has established, somewhere with-
the confines of the commonwealth, a
technical school of agriculture and
mechanic arts. This is well; bnt it
does not go far enough. We must put
into the public schools, the primary
schools for the masses, such elementary
branches of study as will be immedi
ately and directly helpful in the train
ing of onr children for agricultural
pursuits. At least two-thirds of onr
school population in the South must of
necessity spend their lives on the farm.
Nature studies, the elements of biology,
the elements of chemistry, how plants
grow, how soils are enriched and im
poverished, how lands may be terraced,
thousand forms of elemental
instruction can be taught in the schools
with infinitely greater results so far as
intellectual developmen^goes, than by
ihe continued use of many branches of
study that have come down to. ns by
tradition from the monks and the mo
nasteries of ages past
The dead languages are good in their
way and no intelligent man will speak
lightly of their educational value, bn.
there are living languages in plants ana
blades of grass, and soils and stone.-,
and streams, and birds, and flower,
that appeal with infinite delight an.,
foster unmeasured growth in the heart
a child. The great minds who have
done the. most and the best for this
world, even in literature, in art and in
science have come from the very heart
nature, and “nature never yet be
trayed the heart that loved her." The
Bard of Avon even, who tnned onr
English tongue to higher and sweeter
notes than e’er before were heard, put
ear close to the meadow land and
heart to the hills of life, and his eye
upon the 6ilent stars, while birds and
fllowers and blades * of grass spoke to
him as he toiled and tilled the land of
his native shire.
PRACTICAL MEN NEEDED.
The world will perhaps never see
another Shakespeare, nor another Mil-
ton, nor another Burns; it may be that
the world does not need another Ham
let, or another Paradise Lost, or another
Cotter’s Saturday Nu hr, but it does
need men and it wiil always need men,
who can make two b a.ies of grass grow
this year where only cue grew last year.
In agriculture as in every other
science we are coming to the reign of
law Law is derived from intelligently
conducted experiments, and experi
ments are questions put to nature that
•she will ans ver. ten thousand limes
over, with unerring nrocisiqp and reg
ularity*- Tialm '• al fari£ lorn and
his c
his 1
primitive methods in vogue, when men
had virgin soil, will not do for today.
-When a seed is pnt into the gronnd
now, we must know the food supplies
for the soil abont the seed. The bull
tongue plow bas become obsolete, and
the cultivator has tuken its place The
simple scythe is long since fergotton,
and the McCormick reaper is garnering
onr grain. The man going to mill with
a bushel of corn in one end of a bag and
stones to balance it in tbe other end, if
he is not altogether apocrypha^ has
gone never to return. Intelligence is
establishing her right to reign everv*
where. Men plant no more by the
moon but by the sun.
Tho ‘question U then, what can onr
schools do for agriculture? How can
the public schools be so related to this
great industry of the South, that the
children who leave our schools may
desire to enter'this noble and enterpris
ing field. In the first place the children
must be taught at school that agricnl
tnre is not only the earliest pursuit of
mankind Int it is today one of the
noblest professions that men can fol
low. They must bo taught that an in
telligent farmer, equipped with all that
science and art may today bring to his
aid, can win as high boner and occupy
as high place in public estimation as
can be won in the pursuit of any calling
in human life.
AGRICULTURE IS DIGNIFIED.
We must teach the children, indeed,
that the man of brains on the farm is
one of the most potential forces for good
that can b9 found anywhere in the
world. We must show them that work
in the field is no longer a drudgery bnt
that it is as noble and intelligent form
of labor as man can pursue. The
machine has come to the farm and It
has oome to stay. A man with
machine on the farm can do as mnch
work as ten men conld do twenty years
ago. As teachers we mnst show the
children the peace and plenty, the quiet
joy, the pnrity of life, the contentment
of independence, the nobility of soul,
all of which may come in unhindered
fnllness from tbe noble pursuit of soien- x
tifio agricnl tnre.
In the second place to accomplish
this onr course of study n the pnblio
schools mast be radically ohanged. The
ide^l of the schoj1 mast be changed.
The subject matter in tbe text books
must be revised. While the child is
learning to read, to write and to cipher,
it conld jnst as well learn these elemen
tary branches in the terms of nature
studies, elements of biology, elements
of chemistry, elements of free hand
drawing and modeling of all kinds.
Intelligent testimony from the entire
educational world is to the effect that
children will not only lose nothing, bnt
they will gain tremendously in their
natural and normal development, by
making these changes.
If a boy in Holland has learned at
school to support a family of ten by
intelligent cultivation of an acre of
ground, a boy in Georgia should learn
at school how to support a family of ten
upon ten acres of gronnd. This is the
problem that we must solve, not only
in Georgia bnt in every other Southern
State.
AGRICULTURE AND EDUCATION COEQUAL.
The time has come towed the Depart
ment of Agricnl tnre into a oloser mari
tal union with the Department of Edu
cation in every Southern State. Intel
ligent agriculture methods must oome
as a result of intelligent school methods.
The Department of Agriculture in the
State of New York through Prof. L. H.
Bailey of Oornell University is doing a
magnificent work. Not only is he im
proving the systems of farming bnt he
magnifying and itensifying the sys
tem of education in the State. Prof.
Bailey's leaflets are now used as text
books in all the schools of the great
State of New York. We have agricul
tural possibilities and agricultural
resources in every Southern State that
are not to be found even in the great
State of New York.
From Virginia to Texas we have un
bounded agricnitnral wealth that is yet
to be developed. The masses of onr
own people mnst do this work of devel
opment. The profit of this development
mnst go to the pockets of onr own peo
ple. In order tharwe may accomplish
this great result the masses mnst be
educated through onr pnblio schools.
-We need capital and we invite all desir
able immigrants into onr midst.
Bnt more than we need capital and
more than we need immigration, we
need a high and practical intelligence
among the masses of onr people who
are engaged in agriculture. Onr great
manufacturing interests and onr min
ing industries are enlarging rapidly and
almost.as rapidly they are passing into
the hands of aliens and strangers. Onr
fields of agriculture mnst remain onr
own, and in order that we may enjoy
the best fruits of onr own labor, those
who .toil on the farm mnst be intelli
gently trained for this noble pursuit.

A typewriter girl with no bad spells
Mrs. Myra Smith, nee Wiggs, was
horn in Guntersville, Ala., Sep. 23th,
1842. She died Feb. 12th, 1900, at the
home of her daughter, whom she was
visting,Mrs.George Nunley,Cedartown,
Ga., after a short and painful illness.
She joined the Cumberland Presbyte
rian church at the age of 13 years, in
which she lived a consistent member
until God said “It is enough, come np
higher.” She was married to Mr. Ott
Smith in the bloom of young woman
hood and their nnion was biessd with
seven children, two of whom, one son
and infant daughter, have preceded her
to a better land. Her husband, four
daughters and one son survive her.
Too much could hardly be said of her
true, confiding wife seeking
ever to please her husband in all that
was noble and good, and to anticipate
his every, want; she was a carefnl, affec
tionate and sympathyzing mother; a
loving siBter ever ready to give wise
and wliolsome advice. She was an abid
ing friend,naturally bright and cheerful?
was easily a source of power and pleas
ure in every circle. While her children
were in her home she tried in every
way to make it the center of attraction.
She was fond of her friends and ever
gave them a welcome in her home.
The poor were never turned empty
handed from her door; the colored
people called her blessed. In the vir
tues of home life and influence she ex
celled. To her married daughters and
son, she was a source of comfort, con
stantly going hither and thither to ad
minister those tender touches and lov
ing words that none but a mother can.
Now dear ones, you will miss this lov-
mother, her gentle rebukes and
hallowed influence, but we all know
where to find her. I have often heard
her say, “when dying I want some one
to sing ‘Snow White Angel Band.’”
Her constant prayer was that ail her
loved ones be saved. Under trials and
afflictions she was submissive, her faith
was sublime and beautiful. With God’s
word she was content. She was not
demonstrative, but quiet and medita
tive; her joy was constant, her peace
flowed as a river. The sad news of her
death pierced the hearts of loved ones
who were anxiously awaiting mother’s
return to her home in Texas where
many pleasant surprises were planned
for her coming, but God called, and so
she has left us. Deal ones, bow in
humble submission and feel that every
thing works together for good to them
that love God, and let us all try and
emulate yonr dear mother’s many vir
tues and strive to meet her where sor
rows never come.
“Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
And all that life is love.”

ONLY ONE CURE
FOR SCROFULA.
S. S. S. is the Only
Remedy Equal to this
Obstinate Disease.
There are dozens of remedies recommended for
Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. is absolutely
the only remedy which completely cures it.
Scrofula is one of the most obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the
many so-called purifiers and tonics because some
thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S.
is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it
goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trace of the taint.
The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possiblv effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment lias been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck,
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used,
but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently,
and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift's Specific

blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the voriorw
