Gevernment rain making having
been generally admitted to be a fail¬
ure, th6 field is, apparently, left clear
for private enterprise. Wizzard Mel
bourne is the very soul of enterprise
and has taken step3 to fill it. Hav
ing organized a stoct company with a
oapilal of $100,000, he coolly anounc
es that rain will be sold to all buyers
on demand- This sounds Jlike busi¬
ness. It would mean business too, if,
instead of a wily mountebank, Mel¬
bourne should turn out a great scient-
1st.
Before a Brooklyn jury the other
day a local druggist named Avery
was sued on a claim for $10,000 dam¬
ages by Customer Price who charged
that his wife had been given corros¬
ive sublimate instead of chloral in a
prescription by Avery’s clerk, and
then she administered it to the plain¬
tiff with results that nearly proved
fatal. As the substituted drug is a
deadly poison he would probably
have died but for vometing it up. For
all ibis misery be was awarded $4,
000. That is certainly a righteous
verdict. No man who doesn’t know
his business should ever- be alowed to
handle deadly drugs. Those who
claim to understand such affairs
should be held strictly acoun table for
errors which are 'altogether too dan¬
gerous.

The agreement between the Ameri¬
can Cotton Oil Trust and the cotton
oil mills of Tennessee, eastern Ar
kansas and nothern Mississippi, as to
prices to be paid for seed, has been
broken, each party charging the other
with bad faith. A dispatch from
Memphis, reporting this falling out,
says: ‘‘Henceforth there will be a
boom in the price of cotton seed
which will put many dollars into the
pockets of the farmers while it re¬
duces the profits of the crushers to a
mmirnum.
Through the intercession of the
Rev. Dr. Brigg’s with the Presbyter¬
ian confession of faith the souls of
infants and the heathen are in future
to be rescued from the doomed. But
what is to become of those souls that
were consigned to eternal destruction
under the severe oaeration of the old
creed? That is a very interesting
question to the relatives of the
ed.—havannah News.
His Last Words.
A murderer, just before his exe¬
cution, uttered some very significant
words. Mo3fc youug men in start¬
ing oat in life allege that they ‘only
wish to see a little life before they
settle down. 1 ' This murderer and
gambler had “seen life.” and his
words should appall any youth
whose curiosity is leading him from
virtue’s path. He said:
I feel satisfied that if my past
record had been spotless, I could
never have been convicted. I do not
believe any man who has known the
life of virtue can ever be contented
with a life of vice.
The farmer who has spent his
life on his farm, never seeing more
of the world than the road to the
market, or more of society than the
village congregation, is happier than
the “sport” who gets his money eas¬
ily but questionably, and sees soci¬
ety in its wildest dissipation.
The hardest of work, if honest, is
not as tiresome as the idleness of an
autlaw. The laborer never feels his
work as does the man who makes
his living by the “simple turn of the
wrist.”
I sincerely hope that my fate and
these words may prove a warning
to young men who are cheating
themselves with the idea that there
can be any peace, happiness, or
prosperity in a crooked tife.

Washington, Ga. has three trees
