It may be of inter¬ est to thvse men to note the fol¬ lowing figures covering the product of four acres of land owned and cultivated by Mr. '/. T. Al¬ ma ml, of|Onk Grove: After harvesting from this 4 ac:. ; 801 bushels of wheat, Mr Al maml sowed the land in peas. The pee.s and vines were cut last wiek*. From the four acres lie cut films of very line forage and this made 100 bills averaging 75 pounds per I ale. At 75 cents per bale this will give Mr. A1 maud $120.00. if this land had been planted in cotton making a bale per acre, or four 1 ales making 2000 pounds oi lint at 5 cents per pound, would frring C 100,00. Without calcula¬ ting the cost of making the cotton it will not require a mathmetician ©r a very wise man to see that his Hot profit would not have been near so much as he has realized from his forage, saying noth inn for the Wheat crop he gathered from the four acres previous to sowing tlie peas. From this the lesson should be learned that if we would enjoy genuine prosperity we must return to the good old days of “hog and hominy.” HOME INDUST1UES.

Tailors say that hard cash make the best linings for pock¬ ets. Its hard for a wise man to bluff a fool who wants to fight. Why does a loafer always complain of being unable to get work. A giri seldom troubles herself to light the gas when an old flame calls Lots of people who cling to the anchor of hope go down in the mud. Wny does a man's shoestring invariably break when lie's in a hurry? Why do late hours slip by the man who is engaged in keeping them. Why isn’t it the darkest hour when we are unable to find the matches. Now is the time to think of fall bonnets. It doesn’t cost much to think. A farmer says the most diffi¬ cult thing he ever tried to raise was a mortgage. The great trouble with milk of human kindness is that it is too often. Why are the men who say women are delusions and snares always snared by delusions? Numerous crimes have been against the helpless iu the name of charity. Some oeople would never want certain things if they see others trying to get Self-esteem is about all the some men get out life; The apparrel of the small boy always a suit for damages. NOTICE.
