A middle-aged woman called atan insurance ageni’sina pro¬ vincial town some time ago to announce that she wanted to Insure I er house, says the Leeds Mercury . “For how mnoh?” asked the agent. t t Ob, for about .£200. 5 1 ‘‘Very well, I’ll come up and investigate it ” i ( I don’t know much about insurance, * ) she said 1 “It’s very simple, ma’am-” Tf I’m insured for £200 and the house is burnt down, I the money, do I? > i ‘ Certainly •” i. And they don’t ask who it afire?” < i Oh, but they do We shall wont to know all about it. > > i . Then you needn’t come up,” she said, as she arose to go “I heard there was some catch about it somewhere, ana now I see where it is. An editor cufcin Kansas having been taught by another editor how Jesus would run a and still by another how the de¬ vil would run*one, that he is going to see how angel would run a paper. he has turned his office over his wifo and gone fishing. More truth than poetry that- Nine wives out of ten really unappreciated angels.— Dalton Argus A Tennessee fellow-devil, re¬ cently married, thus discours married bliss: “When a young fellow married he feels so rich that imagines be can live on but when the seat of his sers begins to look like a war map, and his stomach as empty as his head, he like trading his “duckie” for ginger cake and hiring out for 8careoiow. Two hearts beat as as one, but two don’t eat as one.”—Dalton 1 gas • — Heavenly Best. j A mother in bitter ” grief, bead Ing over her dying child, was trying to soothe it by talking a bout heaven. She spoke of the glory there, of the brightness glowiug all around, of the shin¬ ing countenances of the holy angels • but presently a little pt °pp ed her sa y iD *-“ I should not like to be there, mother, for they hurt my eyes. » J Then she changed the subject her description, and spoke of the songs above, of the harpers harping on their golden harps i of the voices as the sound of many waters, of the new song which thevsingbefore the throne but the child said, -Mother, I can not bear any noise.” Griev¬ ed and disappointed at her fail¬ ure to speak of comfort, she took the little one from its rest¬ less bed and enfolded it in her arms with all the tenderness a mother's love. Then as the tle sufferer lay there, near all it loved best in the conscious .only as its life away of the nearness of love care the whisper came. if heavn is like this may take me there?—Archdeacon Sinclair. Ksthuate of the Cotton m-op * v, IvW and 1001. Raleigh, N. O., Aug. 30, 1900 Based upon the reliable information from all sources from each of the cotton states and territories, taking into oon sideratiou tho conditiou of the cotton crop, we arc led to believe that the fol lowing will be the output of the cotton crop for the season of 1900 aud 1901: Alabama...... 821,000 Arkansas.------- 809,000 Florida.......... 80,000 Georgia........ 1,025,000 Indian Territory 210,000 Louisiana....... 603,000 Mississippi...... 848.000 Missouri........ 30,000 North Carolina 495,000 Oklahoma....... 100,000 South Carolina.. 801,000 Tennessee....... 285,000 Texas .......... 8,800,000 Virginia....... 18,000 Other sources... 600 Making a total of 9,306,500 This estimate, however, L subject to the weather condition for the month of September and also killing frosts later on. This estimate is given out as being the opinion of this association. Adopted. O. B. Stevens, President Association of Commissioner*. For faU grazing for pigs the Arkansas station has found peanuts aud chufas superior to other plants in the amoum of pork produced per acre. The peanut i» the better of the two and make* a great increase in soil fertility, while the chufa does not. The peach has crowded out the water¬ melon as a money maker for the Geor¬ gia farmer. The Elberta, the most lus¬ cious of the freestone peaches, has de¬ throned the Kolb Gem, the best of ship¬ ping melons.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Questions Answered. Is there auy objection to laud? planting peaoh trees on newly cleared Ans. In my opinion newly cleared laud should never be planted in trees if other good peach land is availa ble. Laud should be cultivated at least two years after clearing before planting it in orchard. The reason: Now land cannot bo prop¬ erly prepared for tile reception of trees OU acoouut of the roots of the forest trees. Thorough preparation of the ground before planting is one of essential factors in fruit growing. Deep preparations before planting and shallow cultivation afterwards is the rule. Eurthermore, trees planted on now land, are subject to the attacks of Ter¬ mites or “wood-lice,” as they are oom mouly known to the fruit grower. These insects breed in greut numbers in de¬ caying roots of foro si trees and when fruit trees are planted in now land they fall an easy proy to these “wood-lice,” which attack the roots and the base of the tree. The remedy for “ wood-lice 11 is tobacco dust. The dirt should be re¬ moved from the base of the tree and a hand full of tobacco dust applied and the dirt thrown back. mm To PATENT Good Ideas may be secured by our aid.
