than to send them out to an in

The seed are selected with care
and the Secretary of Agriculture
desires to have them generally
tested in order to obtain as many
reports as possible on the results
in different localities.
Readers of this paper who wish
to receive seed next season are
invited to drop a line to Senator
Smith and their names will be
added to his seed list. The Sen
ator will have 20,000 packages of
garden seed and 2,000 packages
of flower seed,and limited amount
ofiupland, long staple cotton seed,
and other varieties, and as far as
they will go will send to those
who make requests.
He has at his disposal, also,
a large number of Farmers Bul
letins treating of all sorts of sub
jects in reference to agriculture
and farm matters. Farmers who
would like to take up any subject
should write to the Senator and
bulletins in reference to that sub
ject will be mailed. A great
many farmers do not know of
the vast amount of matter that
has been prepared by the govern
ment on subjects of vital inter

The Senator has arranged to
obtain several hundred copies of
a 200 page illustrated phamphlet
on the Mexican Boll Weevil which
is now in press and will soon be
be issued. The number is very
limited, but he will on request
semi copies as long as the supply
lasts.
Senator Smith wishes to get
this information as widely dis
tributed as possible and to pi see
it where it will do the most good.
Letter of Congratulations.
To Mr. and Mrs. J. L. F. Jr.
My Young Friends:
It is impossible for me to say
to you what I would like to say
jn person, and 1 therefore write
you,
Mr. F.,I Congratulate you upori
accomplishing the greatest
achievment possible for a young
man, in winning the heart and
hand of a pure, sweet, womanly
young woman for a life compan
ion. You are fortunate indeed in
winning one far above the aver
age, one whose graces of head
and heart have won for her uni
versal friendship anti admiration,
Solomon in all his wisdon
faltered in an effort to describe
such an one, and could only say
“her price is far above rubies.”
I am sure you will ever guard
with fidelity this priceless jewel,
and in doing so will be rewarded
with a love and devotion that
will sustain you in life’s fiercest
battles and most trying hours.
Miss. C. : were I permitted to
choose for you life’s pathway,
I would choose the very bright
est and best and most beautiful,
and would brush back every
cloud that was wont to fling its
shadow across it, and make it the
way of unalloyed happiness. But
this privilege is not accorded me,
and I know that the clouds will
sometimes gather and the sun
will be obscured for a season. At
such a time I am sure that if you
will turn to him into whose hands
you have today committed your
happiness, you will find upon the
altar of his heart an unfaltering
flame of love that will dispel the
darkness and make your life a
happy one despite the gloom that
must, in the natural order of
things, come into every humart
life.
May God grant you both a long,
useful, prosperous and happy life,
is my sincere wish.
Your Friend.
