Our rightful inheritance has been denied us thus far. For a time a shadow lus been east over Dixie. We have been bulleted about by cir cumstances that have retarded oui prosperity. The manacles of sla very have hound us hand and loot, and, while holding the black mai in Imudage and ■hmishlnga medi um thro’,;,., win hhe has reached Christian civilization, it is appalling to think of the awful penalty we have paid: 1 years of civil war and reconstruction, years of intea al strife, “the whiteninirs burden,” a dark, threatening cloud constantly hanging over us, a great question staring its in the face tlial las I milled the wisest of men and still remains unsolved: and yet this is surely Cod's country; for the skies are bluer, the sun shines brighter, the birds sing sweeter, the flowers are prettier; and we have just a sus picion that the heart heats warmer and the women are more beautiful than anywhere else upon the face of the earth, and this whole count ry is being aroused as never before and realizing the fact that behind every cloud is a silver lining.

Martin honored At the recent reunion of the eon- Confe crate Veterans at Columbus o'.r o-;‘e med citizen, ’ Judge John 11. Martin, was chosen as division C mmiander f!«r tire State of Go<>r gia. We know of no one upon whom this honor could have rested more gracefully. The Judge is a gentleman of the old school repre senting the highest type of Southern manhood and is a man of more than ordinary ability. He has a remarkable memory, bright mind, and is possessed of stores of accurate information in regard to the late unpleasantness, which was derived from personal experience. Hi* faced the enemy with unsur passed courage throughout the en tire four years of the war receiving a severe wound through the neck while leading his company at tin battle of Gettysburg. The Judge was in the thick of the tight at this memorable bloody battle and war in arm’s length of General Hoist when they brought him off the battle licit! with his leg shot and heard the surgeon tell him that it would have to be amputated and asked him if lie could -"tiiiKi it. "Stand it! 5 he replied, “if anybody on earth can, I can and will live to light them again.” Our country is made up of just such men as Judge Martin and Gen eral Hood. The young men are to the manor horn and that is one rea son why our country is destined to become the garden spot of tin world.

Perhaps the most amazing crime mystery ever solved by a dream was that revealed by a murder trial a couple of generations ago. The dead body of Sir. Norway, an inoffensive Cornish gentleman, bad been found by the roadside between Wadebridge aud Bodmin, brutally murdered. No trace of the murderer could be fuiind, and the mystery of the crime seemed be yond all solutioft. when Mr. Norway’s brother, a naval officer, arrived in Eng land and told the following singular story: On the very night of his brother’s murder, when he was on his ship in the West Indies, he saw him in a dream walking nlong the Bodmin road, when from a dark recess In the hedge two ruffians sprang out, slew and robbed him aud then made their way to a house in Wadebridge, which he saw vividly in his dream. To this bonse he conducted the police officers, and there he found the very two men whom in his vision he bad seen com mit the murder. They confessed and suffered the extreme penalty of the law.—Pearson's Weekly. C'.t—- too HuLuiftG COtVS. Practicable Tie Macia of RIO 3 Which Slides on Upright Post. Many systems have been tried for fastening cows to secure sanitary milk. Ties rigid end swinging stanch ions. staffs and the o;x*u shed system liave been resorted to and are still being used. The method of fastening dairy cows which best meets the de mands of the dairy and ptue food laws is the stall. Stalls are of many dif ferent types, but to be sanitary they must be constructed so that the cow will be comfortable and at the same time not he forced to lie down in her own filth.

It Is undesirable to place cows in rigid stanchions since they do not have the freedom of their heads obtainable In a stall. Compelling a cow to lie In a cramped position is not conducive to a desirable gentle dispo sition. A stall which most nearly ap proaches perfection is one in which the cow is permitted to have the same freedom she has when lying in the field or paddock. This h.-ight of per fection is difficult to obtain. The simple chain tie shown in the illustration, which hits long been used, is more Iminaqe than the rigid stanch ion. The chain here zhowu is attach ed to a ring which slides on the up right post and is fastened around the cow’s neck with a toggle link.—lowa I loinestead. I Akr/iFRb’ I ALL CREED.

Using City Manure. Docs it pay to use manure at the rate of forty-five or fifty tons per acre': This depends largely on the cost of manure. In many instances.the cost of hauling far exceeds the first cost of the manure. Some of the manure used near the large cities is had for the hauling, while it is the exception, rath er than the rule, that it costs more than n 0 cents a ton. At this price or loss a grower can well afford to make rather long hauls and to use the ma nure freely, especially for such crops ns lettuce, celery, onions and other crops grown by Intensive methods. — American Cultivator. The Hum of the Hive. Every progressive beekeeper sepa rates the light colored clover honey from tin? dark fall honey. A grove 011 the north of an apiary helps to insure successful wintering. The trees break to a great extent the force of the winter's wind. The old eight frame hive is largely a thing of the past, the ten frame hive having taken its place, lmt a twelve frame hive would be even better. Never extract honey before at least two-thirds of the c-oinb is sealed or capped over: otherwise the honey is not ripe enough aud will ferment. The best way to strain honey is to extract it. Strained honey is never satisfactory, mixed as it always is with pollen aud often with dead bees and blood. The Italian bee is at present the most popular because of its ability to work and its comparative mild ness of temper. It is quieter than the black bee, which formerly was the fa vorite. As soon as the comb honey is re moved from tlie hives it is best to scrape the propolis or bee glue from the section boxes at once, and nothing is better for this purpose than a sharp butthcr knife, but car-' must be taken not to gash the surface of the combs. Still will the seeds, though chosen with toilsome pains. Degenerate if man’s industrious hand Cull not each year the largest and the best. —Virgil (B. C 70 to 19). JUST RECEIVED!
