It brought in so little money that the Legislature hue repealed it. An exchange says: “A shout.is a good thing to hav.i in a family.” We know some families that have hogs in it, and the family is not the better for it. A “fellow-devil” remarks that “figures may not lie, but when a girl looks like 160 pounds and pulls the scales down at 110 there is something wrong somewhere.”— Nothing wrong about that brother, remember the bustle and other in¬ flations have come into play again. It is said that a printing otlico in Western Michigan is opened with prayer. “This is a rare ex ceptioutothe rule,” says an cas tern Michigan uewspajier, ”as from time immemorial it has been the custom for the office to l>e opened by the devil and elo ed by the sheriff,” It is moro manly for Congress man Roborts to stand by his plu¬ ral wives and children than to abandon them to the “cold charity of the world,” polygamy or uo polygamy, Good faith to the living is better than disloyalty.

A. and G. M. Bacon ii Mitchell county were burned by order of State Entomologist Scott, owing the ravages of the San Jose scale. A- w< ‘^ known agriculturalist was heard to remark the other day t hat “th,. farmer who plants a Gig of cotton this yt ar with lhe expectation of getting seven and cents a pound for it, will be woefully disappointed. All the farmers are going to plant cotton this year, ami consequently a big crop will be made.” Ln less the southern mills can buy most of tlie crop, then the price will be low. Make plenty of h g and hominy, potatoes and peas, and you will do well. Don’t overwork yourself. Just imagine how miserable you would be if you finished all your work today and had nothing to do the rest of your life. Many a bad man would do bet¬ ter if ho only had a little encour¬ agement. We reproduce a few lines from the pen of J. Whitcomb Riley, the hoosier poet, which if we would accept as one of the rules of our lives, would help to send a ray of brightness into many darkened hearts: If you should set' a fellow man with trouble’s unfurled, J Go up all and the world, slap him the back, and on holler, “H'yo do,” • An'grasp his hand so warm he’ll know he’s got a friend in you.
