The Kicker.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day,
Kioking if he’s busy,
Kicking at delay,
Thus the chronic klckor
Fills his life with woes,
Frowning, grumbling, wrangling,
Everywhere bo goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault;
Every kind of pleasure
He is sure to halt.
Scowling at the children,
Growling at his wife;
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife
Kicking if the weather
Happens to bo dry;
Kicking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky.
Kicking in the su m mer.
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter,
Then he'd have it warm.
Kicking every mealtime,
Glaring at the meat;
“Nothing fit to eat.”
Kicking when he’s reading,
Grumbling at the light:
Now and then denouncing
Everything in sight.
Kicking in the morning.
Kicking all the day;
Kicking in the evening.
Kicking should bo pray.
Kicking while he’s praying,
Kicking when in bed;
Wonder if he’ll keep on
Kicking when he’s dead.
The Price of Cotton.
The market price of cotton is now
below 5 cents and the cost of produc¬
tion, and for this reason speculators
who have the money have commenced
to buy the product and hold it for bet¬
ter prices.
That the market will improve as
soon as the hulk of the crop passes out
of the hands of the farmers and local
factors seems not only reasonable, but
inevitable, for it will be impossible for
the speculators and conspirators to
hold the price of the staple down be¬
low the cost of production until after
the time arrives for planting another
crop. And if the price stays down to
5 cents and below, the farmers are not
going to plant for another big crop
next year.
Many farmers who are able to hold
their cotton are doing so. The great
majority of them have been forced to
sell, however, in order to meet their
obligations. Those who sold early in
the season when the market was up to
6 cents and more did well, or the best
that could have been done under the
circumstances, and many of those who
held their cotton have no doubt re¬
gretted that they didn’t sell when they
could have realized 6 cents and more
for it, but if those who have cotton
still on hand will now hold on to it
until March we believe that they will
get 6 cents or more for it. We reason
it this way; If it is safe for specula¬
tors to buy cotton at present prices,
because the price has gone below the
price of production, it ought to be safe
for the producer who is able to hold
his cotton, or part of it at least, to do
so for an advance in the market.—
Albany Herald.
Man.
Man that is born of woman is of
few days and full of microbes.
He hoppeth out of bed in the morn¬
ing and his foot is pierced by a tack
of disappointment.
He smoketh the cigar of content¬
ment and behold it explodeth with a
loud noise for it was loaded.
He slideth down the banisters of
life and findeth them full of the
splinters of torture.
What is man but the blind worm of
fate?
Behold he is impaled upon the book
of despair and furnisheth bait for the
leviathan Death, in fathomless ocean
of time.
Sorrow and travial followeth him all
the days of his life.
What is man, but a tumor on the
neck of existence?
He piayeth the races and betteth all
on the brown mare because he hath
received a tip.
The sorrel gelding with the bald
face winneth by a neck.
Behold he runneth for office and the
dead beat pulleth his leg ever and
anon, and then voteth against him.
He boasteth of his strength in Is¬
rael, but is beaten by a bald headed
man from Taller neck.
He goeth forth to breath the fresh
air and to meditate upon the vanity
of all earthly things, and is accosted
by a bank cashier with a sight draft
for $227.30.
A political enemy lieeth in wait for
him at the market place and walketh
around him crowing like unto a cock.
What is man but a pimple on the
face of politics.
He trusteth in a man who claimeth
to be filled with righteousness and
standetli high in the synagogue and
gets done up.
For behold the pious friend is full
of guile and runneth over with decep¬
tion.
From the cradle to the grave man
giveth his cheek to him that smiteth
him.
Verily man is but a wart on the
face of nature; a bunion on the toe of
time; a freckle on the face of the
universe.
