all these evidences that forest and

worthy the pursuit of even a parlor

i tent, cooking utensils, provender for
[the "critters,” meat, bread and

Chape- "yallerhammers." The ground squir-

to the analysis of the marooners, had
read Isaak Walton’s hand-book on
"What I Know About Putting the

A leech is just a strip of elongated

Any naturalist will make affidavit to
the foregoing description of the leech.
The question arises, how the man who ! years, on which we purpose running k ’a

conclusion that a leech had knees:
"Even as he spoke the smaller leech
shivered and dropped on his knee,
dead.”
Of the recent social demonstra

valentine party given Misses Kate and
Ruby Jackson by Mrs. V. B. Toney.
The decorations were a profusion of
hearts and Cupids. The l’aphian Boy
was always Johnnie on the Spot with
his little "how an’ arrer.” The post-
office feature was great. Valentines
were mailed, and the guests got them
game as lions, elephants, etc. When
our crops come to full maturity we
shall invite Mr. Roosevelt to bring his

a worthy reason, the old rail-splitter,

more rich in these shining examples
than Carroll. Her annals are fairly
aglow with them. In his heyday none
cut a wider swath in his baili
wick than did Mike Summerlin. He
had taken his degrees at the State
University, which fact added luster to
the ebullitions of a droll mind. Like
many other men who had stored their
minds with the subtleties of Latin,
Greek, mathematics, and "high pro
nouns.” he elected to follow a bucolic
life and waste his acquired knowledge
in "abusing God’s patience and the
King’s English” by cussin’ the
"coons" and “poor white trash” in his
vicinity. His was a shrill, drawling
voice, not unlike that of a nocturnal
feline serenader. Mr. Summerlin nev
er lost an opportunity to display the
magnitude of his vocabulary, which
was invariably garnished with "oaths
profane.” Of course, he had an ambi
tion to excel his neighbors in the • pro
duction of big crops, and thus display a
supposed scientific knowledge of farm
ing. The State Fair Association had,
as usual, offered a number of prizes
for the largest yield of different pro
ducts—among others, a prize for the
best acre of sorghum. Mr. Summerlin
had an ideal acre—a kind of second:
“bottom,” rich in alluvial deposits.—
which, with nature’s beneficent endow
ment'and divers and sundry scrapings
from barnyard and stables, generous
ly supplemented with guano, was sown
to sorghum. Its growth was phenom
enal and the production marvelous. Lt
was said of the growing can* by an ob
servant neighbor: "It was so thick and
tall that chickens invaded its fast
nesses and went wild, and the darkness
was so intense within its borders that
lightning-bugs held flashlight parties
at noon-tide.” The cane ripened, the
syrup-mill was put to work, and 425
gallons of syrup was made, and a con
siderable pile remained — enough to
make 50 or 75 gallons more. On
evening, as the syrun-makers were
stewing the juicy exudations of the
cane into beautiful amber-hued long-
sweetening, a gang of ’possum hunters
(half a dozen in number) appeared on
the scene, led by one Goodboy Whitney,
the moat unregenerate sinner on either
side of the river. As is usual on such
occasions, the visitant chasers of the
shame-faced marsupial chewed cane
while they gossiped. The bagasse
from their jaws was strewn around in
promiscuous profusion, which gave the
unground pile of cane the appearance
of being half-devoured by hogs, but in
ooint of fact but little of the cane had
been eaten. Mr. Summerlin came down
the following morning and sized up the
situation. He was boiling over with
rage and indignation as he gazed upon
the havoc the ’possum hunters had
wrought on his cane. He emphasized
the volcano of wrath that was surging
within as he belched forth, "Stop!
Draw that blankety blank fire! Don't
measure another blankety blank gallon
of syrup! I shall never go to the State
[ Fair asking a premium for the rem
nant of a crop that those blankety
blank ’possum hunters have annihila
ted.” The next day Mr. Summerlin
met Goodboy Whitley and delivered to
him this rebuke: “Goodboy, you have
subverted my prospects to win from an
aggregation of honorable competitors
a much-coveted premium on my phe
nomenal yield of syrup from one acre.
Had a drove of cows, hogs, horses or
elephants assailed the cane the havoc
could not have been more complete.

We know of no other medicine wBuch has been so sues- '
cessful in relieving the suffering of vomen, or secured so*
many genuine' testimonials, as has Lydia E. PinkhanPs;
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women when

either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has. ^
In the Pinkham. Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con
taining over one: million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comijound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is made ex
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this- simple remedy.
Minneapolis,Minn;.::—“I was a great sufferer from female
troubles which caused a weakness and broken, down condition
of tiie system. 1 read so much of what Lydia E, Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women, I felt

fully. Within three months I was a perfectlyywell woman.
“I want this letter made public to showthss benefits to he
