fore God and the Father is this,
To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction; and keeping
himself unspoted from the world.”
How many church members in
Conyers, who has made a visit of
that sort, in a week, month, a
year? To say nothing of keeping
unspoted from the world.
Set us the example my friends.

honesty; but there b more than
gold in this life.

at the hdine <)f the i*it.-’s par¬
ents, Mr. ami Mrs. WebbCra; ale,
occurred the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Josie, to Mr. Char¬

Grauade, officiating.

young farmer of our county, while

The Banner wishes them much

The horse that is co telled to
pull his hay from a raekkbove his
head will generally be troubled
by inllamation of the eyes When
he throws up his head and noses
the hay, all the loo?e dirt and
seeds will fall from the hay, and
the horse will get more or less of
it in his eyes. Much trouble may
bo caused by such racks, even
with the best and cleanest of
Lower the racks.— Farmers
Pasture is tnepoor man’s wealth.
Upon plenty of good pasture do
ponds success in summer feeding.
With the majority of farmers the
pasture provides the sole summer
feed, hence the necessity that it be
strong and vigorous. Nothing is
gained by overstocking a pasture.
It is bettor to sell a part of the
stock than to keep them on short
pasture where it keeps them busy
all day to get enough to satisfy
their wants. Cattle on such pas¬
ture never get fat. The time to
pasture is when the dew is on; the
earlier in the morning the better.
—Farmers’ Tribune.
A mistake made by many per¬
sons is in being slack in making
good their promises. Do not pro¬
mise unless you are sure you can
make it good. If you wish to buy
on time, pay up as promptly
possible; in this way you will
gain the confidence of those with
whom you have dealings. It is a
good plan to try to pay a little be¬
fore the time agreed upon ; when
you once got a reputation for
promptness, you can get better
bargains and better terms in trad¬
ing. In all of my dealings and
observations I have found that
honesty and promptness in keep¬
ing promises will gain friends and
dollars as well.—Practical Far¬
mer.
A Missouri editor makes
this opology: “We expected to
have a death and marriage to
publish this week, but a vio¬
lent storm prevented th® wed¬
ding and the doctor being sick
himself the patient recovered
and we are accordingly cheat¬
ed of both.”
“Young man,” said the old
gentleman sadly, “I have on¬
ly daughter. ’ ’ That
one
needn’t worry you,” replied
the prospective son-in-law
‘‘I only want one.”
