Us wort- ''** wouW see that
™ Progress. d
We love the good old quiet way
our father used to have of going to
church and entering when they got
there; we love not the noisy mode
of standing around outside the
doors and waiting for the “brethren
to raise” the tune. We love the
peaceful pursuits of quiet life, the
farmer’s work and worth: We love
not the noise of public place, the
glamour of glory, the rush of
politics, and the sardonic smile of
the hypocrite.
We do not dislike the showy
rose; but we dearly love the modest
violet, whose fragrance fills the
ambient air with its richness. It
may be necessary some times to
pierce the heart with thrusts of
violence; but we’d rather another
would do it than to be ourselves
the instrument: our conscience
would rest easier, our sleep would
be sweeter. We would rather
share the lot of the humble and
lowly and have the refining in¬
fluence of their company, the
strong belief in their prayers, than
to be the companion daily of the
haughty rich, and the rich are of¬
ten haughty, and share in the
luxuries of their dainties, and feel
the depressing influence of their
sardonic laugh, their hypocrital
praise and self-importance.
We love the common people;
from them we sprang; to them we
look for honest and integrity; we
are of them and love our own: they
have no corner on goodness, but
they come nearer to it than any
other class.
The common people have always
borne the burden in times of dis¬
tress and revolution: they have
been the bulwark of liberty they
are never severe, but always firm;
they punish only to restrain; they
love to honor true worth and
despise him who pretends to be
what he is not.
Others may stab, may assasinate
character, may tear down the noble
by wrong to build themselves up;
we will seek to scatter truth and
right, to make tlie humble man
feel less the weight of life; to help
those striving along right ways to
see a better day, a brighter sun, a
j broader smile, a sweeter side to
life.—Marietta News.
Was Dr. Johnson Bashful?
On the eve of leaving London for
Canada Mrs. Brooke, who wrote "The
History of Emily Montague," the first
novel written in Canada, gave a fare¬
well party, Hannah More, Johnson and
Boswell being of the company. Dr.
Johnson was obliged to leave early and
apparently departed after wishing his
hostess health and happiness. Shortly
after a servant whispered to Mrs.
Brooke that a gentleman was waiting
below 7 to speak to her. Running down¬
stairs. the fair novelist found the ven¬
erable lexicographer. “Madam," said
he ponderously, “I sent for you down¬
stairs that I might kiss you. which I
did not choose to do before so much
company.”
His Qualifications.
He was pleuding his cause earnestly.
“I am wealthy,” he said, "and could
make ample provision for you.”
She nodded and checked one point
off on her fingers.
“1 have had experience with the
world.” he continued.
She checked off another point.
"1 have passed the frivolous point,
he went on, “and 1 have the steadfast¬
ness. the age and the wisdom to guard
and guide you well.”
He paused for an answer.
“The points you make are strong
ones," she said, “but they lead undsvlat
ingly to the conclusion that you would
make nil excellent father for me. ^ ou
have all the necessary qualifications,
but Just now 7 I am looking for a hus¬
band."—New York Times.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Crop Rotation.
In no place in the United States
is crop rotation needed worse than
in the cotton growing section. In
almost all parts of the South cot¬
ton is grown year after year on
the same land. The lint is sold ;
the seed is carried away, and sel¬
dom is anything except commer¬
cial fertilizer replaced. A good
rotation would be to follow oats
and cow peas with cotton again.
The oats and cow peas will furnish
a cheaper form of foliage than corn
and in addition give a winter cover
crop for the benefit of the soil, be¬
sides furnishing nitrogen from the
pea roots that the corn crop cannot
give. If corn is planted, a good
practice will be to sow cow peas,
then follow the corn and cow peas
with cotton next year. Another
good practice will be to have one
third of the farm in oats and cow
peas; another third in cotton and
rotate accordingly, letting corn and
cow peas follow oats and cow peas,
and cotton follow corn and cow
peas, and oats and cow peas follw
cotton.—Fanners’ Union News.
Mixon News.
Not much news this week. The
pretty weather has put most every
one to work. Some of the farmers
are planting cotton, while there others
who are diversifying their crop.

man Grant visited Mrs. John Rey¬
nolds Friday.
Mr. W. C. Pope, one of our promi¬
nent farmers and merchants, was in

one of our best farmers, but we can
now say he is one of our best horse
traders.
Our Sunday schools at the Metho¬
dist and Baptist churches are both in
flourishing condition. A large atten¬
dance but not enough children. Let

the best Sunday school we have ever
had. _____
