If you are not right sure that you understand just how import ant the farmer is juat draw on your imagination for awhile and are if you don’t think he is tilling a very imjiortaiit mission. Besides sup|s>rt ing t lie railronds, the factories, the machine simps, the mines and all tin* other enter prises throughout our land he also feeds the many millions, from the president in the White House to the helpless infant in it’s moth er’s arms. What a wilderness our beautiful fields ladened with their harvests of golden grain and snow white cotton, the crowded cities everywhere would soon be grown over by thistles and grass and be come a desolate wilderness inhab ited by wild beasts. The man behind the plow is the man that brings life its sweetest joys from a natural standpoint. Then, brother farmer, you should realize your importance. If no one as you pass down the street shouts himself hoarse in praising you, that’s all right. Don’t hang your head with shame because you are a farmer and not n president. Praises will not sustain life quite ns long us meat and bread, and the world knows this. Your time will come for your part of the praise though after awhile around the dinner table when everybody w it,h keen appetites partake of the fruit of your labor and telegraph a message of thankfulness to Heaven. Then since you are occupying siieh an important place in life you should do ns the Apostle Paul —magnify your office. Kvery man owes at least that much to hiscall ing or profession. Just in how many ways you may do this will become apparent after due rellee tion. Make your homes and farms attractive, too, while magnifying your office as an honest tiller of the sJtil and thus keep your boys on 1 hi* farm by the power of at tract ion. Oo«4 KoitU. There is much being said these davs through the papers and oth erwise about high freight rates. But did it ever occur to you that the farmer pays a much higher transportation charge m getting his farm products from the farm over bail roads to the railroad than he pays over the railroad ? When we get to work with pencil and paper making comparisons w e find that good roads are a 'paying proposition, while poor or had muds levies an enormous tax m all who travel. The farmer has no way of dodging this tax. It is is as sure to be collected as he hitches Ins mule to the wagon and drives to mill, to market, to visit a neighbor, or to church. Good roads are just as essential as good railroads, and money put into good roads under ju«t and wise supervision is not an expense but an investment that will pay large dividends. Saakary Conditio.*, W e some times set* a neighbor prostrated with a burning fever anxious loved tines and friend ad ministering to lua relief while the family physician is bathed trom day to day not knowing what the consequences might be. The peo ple as the case becomes more serious discuss why it is that God in his justice, wisdom and mercy •o afflicts the sufferer. Perhaps near by is a pen w ith a pig m it not worth more thun two or three dollars that is producing the cou dititions out of which hss sprung all this suffering anxiety and un necessary doctor’s bill. “Behold what, a great matter u little fire kindleth.” Look well brother farmer to the sanitary conditions about your home. See that the lot the stalls the pig pen and all other such places about your premises are kept iii perfect .sanitary condition. This may save you not only con siderable sums in doctor’s bills and a great deal of anxiety and t rouble but may even save you the loss of j loved one from your home. It matters not what else you may lie able to spare you can not spare one of these from your home. So keep your premises in perfect sanitary condition and prevent the outbreak of deadly diseases. Farmer'* Union County Meeting. The next meeting of the County In ton will be at Kibbee Saturday the 26th ilist. The county Union meetings are being well attended anti much interest manifested. Delegates and visitors from every lodge in the county are expected. IN MEMORIAM. The Woman’s Foreign Mission ary Society of Glen wood church is called to mourn the death of Mrs. C. W. Clark, a most valued member. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.’’ This thought dwells in every heart who knew Mrs. Clark, who passed into rest May 21, lUOB. We m ins her bright lace so much—how sad it is to go back to our meeting w ithout her, she be ing the first of our members to die. She was always present, if not. Providentially hindered, but we how in submission and await the day of revealing to see the wisdom ot this sail dispensation. I lie gospel to her was a glorious reality,and in her loving and will ing way she was ever ready to for ward it to the heathen. Hers was a heart that responded to the woo ing of the spirit and bowed to Him submissively. A greivous loss it seems to human hearts that loved her so dearly, but the Holy One knows far better than earth born friends. May He who alone can bind up broken hearts be a wife to the husband, a mother to the dear little children. There fore, he it resolved Ist. That we bow m humble submission to the will of God, whodooth all things well: Who is too wise to err ami too good to be unkind. 2d. That in her death our soci -tv has lost one of its faithful members. ltd. That we extern! our deep '•st sympathy to her bereaved hus band and the dear little children. Ith.
