A Visit to Our Boyhood Home.
On last Sunday we paid a visit to out
old home, Greenesboro, and spent the
day with our old and venerated friend.
Mr. Thomas H. Morgan, an old typo,
raised under the old school when all
men were honest. Mr. Morgan is now
iu his 70lh year, although quite feeble
yet he has that gift of power about him
and brfght smiles that cheers tile
wearj- traveler along the rugged path
of life. Although he has been afflict
ed for sonie time ’ and loI) S si,,ce re ‘
tired from the “ case ’” > et he ,alks of
those pleasant years that u we spent
with him when we were learning the
.*Art Preservative of All Arts,” with
itendg anu humor, and while
those were the happiest days of our
life, yet they have about them a sacied
solemnity that makes us feel sad, be¬
cause those pleasant days are gone
and we can never call them back.
Mr. Morgan has been a remarkable
man, although his name has not been
known in public affairs, yet his quali
tications have been suflicent for him
to hold any public position in the gift
of the people, yet he chose to lead an
humble and quiet life, never aspiring
to public positions, but always doing
good in his humble way, aud many are
the good lectures we have received
while serving our time as an appren
tice under him. XVe believe he hits
turned out more printers than any
other man iu Georgia, and all of them,
more or less, are now holding respon
sible positions in different parts of the
country.
The day was one well spent, our
conversation being in the main a re¬
trospect of past events. The day to us
was truly au enjoyable one, and will
•long be remembered. Our old time
friends and youthful days are held in
memory’s casket with a sacred anti
sublime hallowness. May time deal
gently with our old friend in his de¬
clining years. C. E. A.

The world is a country which nobodv

travel through it one’s self to be ac
quainted with it.
The recognition of mutability is the
first lesson of life given us to learn. In
eatly childhood time is eternity, and
we caouot realize change of circum¬
stance or growth. The Utile one
whom five minutes is an age -has no
faculty that can enable it to foresee a
year. Talk to a child of two years old
of what will happen newt summer and
you speak to it of infinity. It
comprehend that things will not be al
ways as they are now, and does not
i ven imagine the formula of ‘-When I
am grown up, then so and so,” which
gradually becomes a future possibility
as time goes on and the intellect ad
V aDces with the years. Everything is
| fixed forever just as it is now, and
j Change is the one element that eauuot

Question 4.—If I cooked cot ft, iseed
meal, or the whole seed, would \ uot
then be good food for pigs?
Answer 4.— In Bulletin 21 ot the
Texas Experiment Station, there is re¬
ported the results of u series of experi¬
ments in feeding pigs with cottonseed,
and the conclusion reached, is, that no
matter how- prepared, whether boiled
or roasted, cottonsood fed to pigs will
produco sickness and death. The boiled
seed was a little less injurious than the
roasted, the latter being almost as fatal
as the raw meal. The cottonseed was
not fed alone, but formed only a part of
the ration. In from six to eight weeks
the first symptoms of sickness appeared,
the animals became dull and moping,
and lost appetite. In 12 to !SD hours
they became restless, staggering in their
gait, breathing labored, sight defective
skin showing reddish inflamutioti. The
fatal cases all showed “thumps”—spas¬
modic breathing. Finally the animals
dropped down suddenly—sometimes on
their bellies, sometimes upon their
haunches with forelegs well apart to
keep from falling over—almost always
witli evidences of acute internal pain.
At death a quantity of bloody foam
comes from mouth and nostrils. These
pigs were fed by the side of pigs that
had corn instead of cottonseed, and the
pigs fed on corn remained perfect!y
healthy. — State Agricultural Depart¬
