At the close of g • by a

had as much wheat in the barn as you
have, I would answer that prayer

Did you ever feel the joy o ' win

there is rio joy out of heaven which

Hon. A- O. Bacon has resigned his
position as general attorney of the

which the road appreciate.
There are no morl blanks; there

rupts, or the light that splendidly

Some of the best farmers of the

C. railroad. This road must be built.
What say you ? Are you willing to
take stock and build this road to
Homer by the Ist of Octorber 1 There
is a gentleman close by who has uo
interest in the town who will take

must have a railroad and we must

The criticism of Senator Carlisle
that the government can have no
money to loan to the farmers that it
does not first collect in taxes, now
quite often repeated, is a most stale
chestnut. The truth is, the taxpayers
can have no money not first issued by
the government. The farmers simply
propose a just and equitable method
of issuing money, no more, and will
accept no adjustment that does less.—
National Economist.
The Christian minister gets, it is
true, many things that are better
than money. His constant medita
tion upon the highest themes is itself
a great compensation for any self
denial to which he may be subjected.
Resides this, the gratitude of the
souls that he helps and blesses as he
goes on his way, the consciousness of
duty faithfully done for Curist’s sake,
and the approving presence of the
Holy Spirit—all these are of inesti
mable value. —Christian Advocate.
Physical pain is not altogether
evil It serves at least two good pur
poses; it calls attention to the fact
that the important law has been brok
en and admonishes the transgressor
to proceed no farther in that direc
tion. It is the mission of pain to pre
vent suffering. There is a spiritual
}>ain which is more poignant and
more important than physical. Pongs
of remorse admonish the
to repent and seek pardon. The an
guish of a guilty conscience is not
the punishment of sin, but a merciful
warning that punishment lurks some
where in the direction the sinner is
pursuing. Pain is nature’s uangcr
signal.—New York Advocate.
M. Joseph X. Telford Dead.
Mr. Telford was born in Bellbrn,
Booth Car&linia, in the year 1850, and
djhd'on his farm four miles south of
Homer on Friday morning at half
past six o’clock.
Mr. Telford moved to this county
in 1872, since which time he has
been an honor to the comity and a
shining light in the community where
he lived. He was one of the foremost
farmers of the county. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church,
and for many years was jm elder in
bis congregation. No one who knew
him ever bad any doubt but that he
wjjs a true Christian, and his host of
friends are consoled with the assur
ance that earth’s loss is heaven’s gain,
lie was always at the front in the
discharge of every Christian duty.
Mr. Telford was ever ready to wok
for the upbuilding of his country on
every line, and in his death the coun
ty has lost one of her best citizens,
the church one of its brightest jewels
and humanity generally one its no
blest examples.

all who were associated with him in
life, will miss his wise counsel and
Christian example, but there is a
source of joy in the thought that if
w f e live the life he lived wc, too, will
not fear death.
The burial service was conducted
by Rev. G. 11. Cartledge. assisted by
Rev. J, F. Goode, in a most appropri
ate minner, at eleven o’clock at the
Presbyterian church, this place, in
the presence of a very large crowd
of grief stricken relatives and friends.
The Mississippi has tendered its
resignation as the official organ of
the State of Mississippi because it
could not support all the Ocala de
mands. Such action was eminently
proper and honorable under the cir
cumstances, and places that paper in
a position where it can act independ
ently without being charged with un
fairness to the order. There is one
other state organ that, having less
respect for the Alliance and far less
sense of honor, should be compelled
to follow the above example of pro
priety.—National Economist.
It is said that Europe is very short
on cereals and that the grain pros
pects for this year is very discourag
ing, and a suspension of the import
duties on American grain is being
strongly urged in many European
countries. Russia which has export
ed grain in large quantities hereto
fore, is so short herself this year that
she will have to call on the outside
world for supplies for her own con
sumption. This means high corn
and flour in America. Wheat ad
vanced 7 cents .per bushel last week
and the top is not yet reached in
corn. This shows what the result
would be if we could get Europe
short on cotton. —Gainesville Eagle.
It is not an easy tiling for a teacher
to impress his pupils with the beauty
of the law of love when the law of
hate is observed in the house. “My
father says always to get even with
people,” said a pupil when the discus
sion was upon “retaliation.” And yet
this father was a lending man iu the
town, one very much hearkened toby
others. The teacher has to war
against the inheritance his pupils
possess out of the past. —Sehool Jour
nal.
The Washington Critic notes the
fact that congress has provided for
600 public biddings, the plans of
which are yet to be devised or ac
cepted by the government architect.
There are certainly not more than
2,400 distinctively agricultural coun
tries in the United States, so that it
appears that while the members of
the Fifty tirst Congress were contend
ing that they would never, no never!
vote for the reckless expenditure of
the people’s money in the construction
of warehouses for the farmers pro
due's, that body saw no impropriety
in providing over two-thirds the
number of buildings specified in the
Pickier bill, and one-fourth as many
its can possibly l*e called for under
the widest possible extention of the
sub treasury plan. If the money to
construct the warehouses must first
be taxed from the farmers, who pays
for the six hundred buildings already
voted? Pah!—National Economist.

The Situation.
To-day the minds of men are per
plexed. The leaders of the common
people have espoused them, and now
the question is, what will they do?
Tlie jostling crowd are on guard in
masses, and will by a small majority,
for they are all not posted alike, fol
low the gleams of the greatest light:
tlie swaying masses will follow with
the make up of their subsidary teach
ings. In this storm-tossed condtion
of the public mind, the national offi.
cers of the Farmers Alliance have
the hardest time to fit themselves, in
public opinion, and why is this ? Be
cause there is no place in thought be
tween the educated and the unedu
cated. The Alliance is one of its
features simply a school in politics;
the people, children, without parents,
and the officers are our best teachers.
As soon as a man is educated, he be
comes so enraged at his past igno
rance, and feels the necessity of
strong help, that he wants the teacher
to quit school and become one of his
partners in his new line of thought.
If he did this the uneducated would
loose confidence in the teacher, and
the graduate and teacher wonld suf
fer alike for support. The Alliance
school is non partisan in politics, and
partisan men are only liali edu
cated in economic
the necessity of keeping the teachers
as much as possible out of party
]K>litics. Party is, and ever will be,
the bane in the education of political
economy. If a principle is in error,
it is then partisan, but when it estab
lishes “equal rights to all and exclu
give privileges to none,” it cannot in
and sense be partisan. Righ\ dis
poses of party, and wrong makes it,
and it is to be righted that to-da*
the party has to be used in executing
the Alliance demands. To be non
partisan and still believe in prineible,
is a stunner to old line politicians; they
do not rise above selfish views, and
the idea wf a man from the Alliance
non-partisan school taking a hand in
politics makes them want to call him
an Alliance party man. They can
not distinguish between the school
and the education. —J. B. Gay.
An organization of colored minis
ters at Pittsburg lias passed resolu
tions denouncing the manner in which
their race is treated in the north, and
declaring that grater discrimination
exists against the negro in that sec
tion than in the south. They were
rather late in finding this out, or at
least in confessing.

Senator Edmunds has resigned his
seat in the senate. This is about the

would be riil of two old fossils and
the coming Alliance in Vermont
might be able to elect men in tlieir
places who had some ideas of whnt

not unrewarded.”—London Tid Bits.

A life spent in brushing clothes
and washing crockery and sweeping
