Don’t Try to PL ase Everyone
We want to tell you an old story
that us*-d to be in school books
You iiihv have read it or heurd of
it before, but we will tell it again.
An old man and his little boy went
to a neighbors one day to buy a
donkey und when they got him and
started home the old man put the
little boy on him to ride, while he
himself walked. Soon they met
a man who said to the boy: “You
ought to be ashamed to ride and
let your poor old futher walk,w ? hy
dont you get down and let your
father get up on the donkey and
ride?” So the boy got down and
let his father get up on the donkey
and ride. And they went a little
further and met another fePow
who said : ”0!d man, arn’t you
ashamed to lie up there riding und
your little boy walking? Why dont
you take him up behind you and
let him ride, too?
So he took the boy up behind
him and let him ride. And they
went on a piece furt.ier till they
met a third wise fellow who said
to them: “Ain’t you a pretty set
of fools to both be up there on
that little donkey? Why you had
better get down and carry him in
stead of him carrying you both.”
So suiting the action to the word
they got down and took a pole and
tied the donkey to it hog fashion
and carried him till they came to
an old rickety bridge across a
creek on which they had to cross,
and when the? got about half way
across, the old bridge gave way
and down they all went into the
water and as the donkey was tied
of course he was drowned, but the
man and boy got out. The moral
of the story is that they pleased
nobody and lost their donkey in
the bargain.
We have seen people, as well as
political parties, that remind us
of the old man and his son.
Haven’t you?—Herald Journal.
The Cow-Pea Pod Weevil.
There has been some excitement
for the past few weeks among a
number of farmers of this section
at the appearance of an insect
which resembled very closely the
much dreaded boll weevil. Several
specimens of this specie of weevil
were sent the State Entomologist
by Mr. E. Cook, Sr., and he re
ceived the following letter extract
from which he has allowed us to
reproduce for the benifit of those
whoare troubled with this insect.
We feel sure that the w r eevil re
ferred to in this letter is none other
the same other farmers have seen
than on their premises.
“Ihe insects you sent are not
the cotton bell weevil, but are
what is commonly known as the
cow pea-pod weevil, (chalcoder
muß aeneus.)This weevil frequent
ly attacks cotton where it has
been planted after cowpeas. This
insect does not last long, and
hence, doe 9 not, as a rule, do any
great amount of damage. Where
cotton does not follow cowpeas,
these insects do not bother much.”
“When the weevils are numer
ous and are doing the cotton more
or less damage, it is advisable to
dust the cotton with one pound of
Paris Green mixed with ten
pounds of air slacked lime. This
can be applied to the cotton so as
to use two or three pounds of
Paris Green to the acre.—Cochran
Journal.
The Happy Land.
I live in the land of Endeavor,
where nothing is counted in vain
where people are busy forever, and
no one has time to complain. Out
here in the world of the idle you
talk of your sorrows and fears, and
even the feast and the bridal re
sound with a splashing of tears;
but we, who are busy with lever,
with plow, axe and loom, in the
beautiful land of Endeavor, care
not for your stories of gloom. Out
here, in the land of the
talkers you’re breeding a difficult
race of pessimists, grouches and
knockers, who swarm m your idol
ent place; your land, thus encum
bered, will never be peaceful and
happy like mine; in the faraway
land of Endeavor this life is all
roses and wine. Oh, yes, you may
go to that region, and leave all the
troubles behind, which now, in a
pestilent legion, are gnawing away
at your mind ; but first you must
honestly sever the fetters that idle
ness made, and then in the land
of Endeavor you’ll take up the
happy man’s trade.—George
Adams.
