THEFARMER'S LIFE.

The e d sows doth rot.
And when at e v rests front toil

Nor n e work will do.
In d d has to struifcrle hard
To 1 • k llvinROUl;
If i c frosts do not retard
ilia crop there'll h a drought.
Hoth 11 /. cannot make to meet,
And so for a d takes
Some hoarders who unite r t eat,
A- e no money makes.

Sick with old a g lies;
The debts he o 7 leaves li
And then in p c dies.

From Oklahoma.
Ah ho runny of my Cowota friends
have naked me to write, I avail my-
self of your invitation of writing
through your paper, ho that all may
hear from uh,
First, as to our trip. Wo left At-
hiuta on Monday, 16 iriHt., at 8:30 p.
m., for St. Louiw, via. Nashville. We
changed front (deeper to another
coach in Nashville at 7:80 a. m. on
Tuesday. Traveled all that day
through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indi- j
ana anti Illinois, reaching 8t. Louis ut
7:20 p. m. We tnlHAed seeing the j
great Mississippi river, hut were re-
paid Bomewbftt in seeing the linest j
car-shed we ever saw. Every train
wbh crowded to the fullest, and when j
we loft St. Louis tire three sleepers I
and two chair coaches wore so crowd
ed that we were uncomfortable for
want of room. We left St. Louis' at
II P. M. and arrived at Kansas City at
0 a. M. on Wednesday. Such a city
as it is, with its depot, car-shed, fac
tories, and stock-yards, all down in
the river bottoms, and its residences,
colleges and business houses on veri
table mountains, as it seemed. A
rough, pushing city. I had often renth
of but never saw before the real
Western cuttle ready for the butcher.
1 am perfectly enthused on the subject
of stock-raising ou this beautiful
grazing land.
We left Kansas City at 2:80 p. m,
and never changod cars until we
reached Ohlckaaha, Indian Territory,
at 0 a. m., so we missed seeing any
thing of Northern Oklahoma. I was
much surprised to find Chickasha
such a large town; also to find every
thing so cheap. We bought three
pints of good coffee for a dime, while
we paid a dime for one cup in Kansas
City. We ordered lunch for the fam
ily, costing 60c., and received baker’s
bread, butter, beef, ham, and a very
good mince pie. Tried to find some
moccnsius to send home, but none
were to be had.
k We started at 2:40 p. m. from Chick-
asba and before night passed through
the territory soon to be opened.
We were well entertained looking nt
the Indians and cattle. The Govern -
mont has built houses for the Indians,
but every house had its tepee, and all
the Indians were Hitting in the open
air, resting, I suppose. If I had a
quurter section of the lands I passed
through I never would let It be broken
by a plow. 1 find it covered with
mesquit grass, the finest and most nu
tritious in the world. It furnishes
pasturage for nine months of the
year. The coarser grasses will do for
summor, but the mesquit is the best
even then.
Wo reached Maugham at 8 p. m.
and found Rev. E. P. Stewart there
to welcome us to Qreer county. He
had scoured every accommodation
for ua, and had provided a temporary
home and every comfort he could
procure. We were agreeably sur
prised in tbe character of the bouses
and educational advantages to be
found in this new country. The
houses are small, but very neat and
comfortable. Thejr are all well-ceiled
and canvas-lined, making a neat fin
ish for the walls. Tiie people use
beaters and stoves, and have no open
fire-places. 1 saw a neat little cot
tage of four rooms, painted, that coat
only $400. But tbe best thing about
this county is the morality, good or
der and security which prevails. The
people all own their homes, are free
of debt, and own herds of cattle, re
ceiving $12 to $14 for 4-montbB-old
calves. The lauds are lovel in the
valleys, and very productive. Moun
tains to the north and west of us form
a pleasant pictutv, with about twelve
homes within sight.

Bivkincf Powder
Absolutely Pure
Makes hot breakfast-breads wholesome—-no
yeast germs, no alum. Makes cake, biscuit'
and pastry of superior fineness, flavor and deli
cacy. Makes food that will keep moist and

purest and greatest in leavening strength. In
the easy, expeditious preparation of the finer
cakes and pastries, Royal is indispensable.
Cure rrnibt be taken to avoid baking powders made
from alum. Such powders are sold cheap, because
they cost but a few cents per pound. Not only
will they spoil tbe cake, but uluin is a corro

A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Son’s
Life.
Mr. H. H. Black, the well-knowu
village blacksmith at Qrabnmsvillo,
Sullivan county, N. Y.,'says: “Our
little son, five years old, lias always
I been subject to croup, and eo bad

In Memory of T. B. Willcoxon.
On Sunday evening, Sept. 16, the
spirit of Tom Butler Willcoxon winged
its flight to eternal rest. In heaven
were heard songs of sweetest wel
come, sung by angels pure as drifted
‘ snow. When tbe "pearly gates”
were thrown ajar such a meeting
for don and fond mother, who died a
few months ago! Ah, we would not
- call him back, when we realize the
happiness of both.
It seems strange to speak of the
’ death of oue who, so youDg, was ta
ken from us. Dear, sweet, beautiful
: young life!—bis going to heaven so
( young was like plucking a rosebud
J with the dew of early morning still
; fresh upon its shining petals, and
I transplanting it to bloom in the beau-
j tiful garden of God.
| The close of this young life woos us
j to trust Christ implicitly, and labor
j for Him more actively, until we meet
| our loved ones at last in tbe arms of
'Jesus, where they are now sleeping.
Although not a member of the
, Cburth, we feel sure that Tom be-
j came a Christian, because his conver
sation was pure. He never spoke
lightly on the subject of religion at
all. In convocation with bim
about a week before he was taken
sick I asked him about leading a
Christian life, and with a face bright
with earnestness he said, "Oh, if I
had only joiued the church before my
mother died!” Now he has gone to
join her. Only the angels knew his
worth, so they called him unto them,
decking his brow with a diadem of
glory.
Tears are in vain when a spirit so
bright wings its way to the gates of
light. He has passed away; but the
memory of his presence, like a fra
grant odor, lingers still.
The leaves on the trees will wither and
fall,
And tiie drifted snow will cover all,
But tie will calmly, peacefully rest,
Forever happy, by angels blest.
Just in the spring of maubood, ten
der,'loving and true—ah, too good
for this sinful world. A Friend.
