The Prosperous South.
Tho South is now and has been
for a year past the most prosper¬
ous part of tho United Statos.
This prosperity bids fair to con¬
tinue without interruption.
Tuught by a hard experience of
a low price for cotton lasting sev-
oral years, diversified farming be¬
came general, and while cotton
remained “King,” increased crops
of corn and wheat were-grown,
cattle and hogs were raised, fruits
vegetables became a great
source of revenue.
Now with a great cotton crop in
sight, and the world in need of a
larger quantity than ever before,
tho price will not sink to the low
level prevailing a few years ago,
and the other great crops were
never laiger and are bringing
prices that meun prosperity to the
raiser,
In a territory as largo as that of
(he South, here and there thecou-
ditions may be unfavorable, but
us a whole the South’s prospects
were never better, and the eyes of
the world are turned to the fair
and fertile laud “flowing with
milk and honey,” with a climate
s > mild and even that work is a
pleasure in nfl seasons, and with u
soil so rich that work brings n
rich reward.
No wonder tho people of the
North and West are turning to¬
wards the South, where cheap and
fertile lands can be bad in com¬
munities already supplied with
schools, churches and transporta¬
tion facilities, and better than all,
with a people that have shown in
the past thirty years a power to
wrest victory from adverse condi¬
tions that has never been equaled.
—Homo and Farm.
An exchange says: l 4 Tli ere art
two many young men who are not
paying board. There are too many
depending on their parents for
food and shelter, There are hum!-
reds of men and women going
poorly clad and working beyond
their strength to support others
who ought to be earning their own
living. The man who pays his own
board and buys bis own clothes is
on the rond to usefulness and hon-
or. The other, the one who de¬
pends upon his father, or upon
the taxpayers of the county for his
support, is headed for the devil."
Miss Kutherine Moore returned
to I’erry yesterday after being de¬
lightfully entertained for two
weeks by her aunt, Mrs. F.
Holmes Johnson.
Easy on the Children.
Be a little lenient with the
children during the first few days
of school.
They have troubles of theii
own.
It is pretty hard to give up the
easygoing days of vacation and
change all at once to the stern re
gime of the school room.
Hava you forgotten how a
wrench of the heart came to you
y ear * a 8° whun the school-bell
rang and you must go away from
the blue sky and the trees and tin
grass and sit upright at a desk and
compose your faco into fixedness
over a book?
Everything was new.
The school houso walls hail been
cleaned and there was a new black
board. But of all—the.new teach¬
er! She might be one of thos"
rare maiden souls who could smile
herself straight into your henrt at
the first meeting. But usually tne
new teacher was an enigma. How
studied that face!
You laugh at the memory now?
It was a very real anxiety whei
your feet barely touched the
school room floor.
M'liat a blank in your mind
about lust year’s lessons I How the
sickening sense of failure tortur-
0 d you when the boy ^ or girl next
ma(,e , successful , .
y,jU a recitation,
Surely the new teacher would put
you down a dunce.
And how tired one’s back got
in those first days. You simply
couldn’t study. Betimes your
head wa3 muddled and there was
a blur of water in your eyes.
Poor little creature. Have u
forgotten youiself?
Don’t scold the youngsters
the midst of their initiate. Let
tho boy howl some. He is
! ing his safety valve. And if the
little maid is aweary aud nervous,
j kiss and comfort her.
After a few days, when the kid-
j have settled into reins the routine, some.—At- you
j can tighten the
lauta Journal.

MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. Va.
If your liver does not act reg¬
ularly go to vour druggist and
secure a package of Tliedford'a
Black-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great firmly
medicine frees the constipated liver
bowels, stirs up the torpid secretion
and causes a healthy
of bile. Draught
Thedford's Block - •
will cleanse the bowels of im¬
purities and strengthen the kid¬
neys. A torpid liver invites
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick¬
ness and contagion. Weak kid¬
neys result in Bright's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption, A 25-eent
package of Thedford’s Black-
