Hicks dead,-he , , , . , ^ was never was m health, and never did a harder and more successful year’s work t lam that just closing. He has ju t completed bis large eplnndid Almanac lor 1002 nnd, witli Itis staff of able helpers, h,« brought his journal, Word and Works, just'y forward into inter¬ national reputation. For a quar¬ ter of a century Mr. Hicks has grown in reputation and useful¬ ness as the people’s astronomer, and forecaster of storms and the character of coming seasons. Never were his weather forecasts so sought after as now, his timely warniag of a serious drouth this year having saved the people from less and suffering. Millions of buditdg of wheat were harvested through his advice to plant crops that would mature early, The American people will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks, when it costs them so little and the ben efiis are so great.

We get the following interest¬ ing item from the Atlanta Jour¬ nal of the - 18tii inst: The pre eminent importance of newspa per advertising in connection with modern retailing is illustrated by a contract which was entered into by a Cnicago department stor and the Chicago i:i u . The store 1! use iO ery day for a ye except Sundays. The exclusion of Sunday advertising is in with a rapidly developing sen¬ timent which is also manifesting itself in Atlanta. The amount of money involved in the transaction is about $L0 b00. in.sis one of the largest advertising contracts ever made. ^ number of. extensive advertiser’ spend about $1,0.X),000 a year, but this firm leads in the size of appropriations for a single news paper.

Let Oui Rural Schools Open. The fill just passed has been an ideal one to our farmers for harvesting their crops, Prettier weather tor gathering cotton, peas and corn has seldom been seen m this country. As a result our farmers have about complet¬ ed their fall work and are now ready to sow their grain and pre¬ pare their lands for another year’s crops. In this work of plowing and harrowing their fields oui farmers will net wisely to heavy, strong teams and improv ed implements’ and up-to-date meth ds which will require the strength and judgment of mature men to manipulate them and not intrust this important work to young children of insufficient strength mm camion, We know that a crop 13 “ a ‘‘ made and that deep and thorough P‘ e l K *' '*■' f tne SO cr«t < VI 2. luU ,,u i* mow urawn uj u..y . horse. Right now every school in Rock¬ dale county ought to be in session and every child not large enough to manage a two-horse plow ought to be in them At this season of the year children can spend their time to far greater profit in the school room than they can spend it in doing the chores of the home and farm. Let cur farmers a wake to the fact that good farm¬ ing is the materializing of good thoughts, of high ideals, and the more mental capacity their child¬ ren have the better citizens, farm¬ ers and home-builders they can make. All children in school at this season of the year should have warm, heavy underware and good, stout shoes. They need mackin¬ toshes or gossamers and rubbei shoes and umbrella* for rainy days. A small outlay of this kind often prevents doctor bills and diseases and suffering and even death. Let our country people learn to send their children to school •eguiaidy, every school day in the week. A child had alnlost as well be kept at home in the fields as allowed to go to school me day and to stay at home the rest, as is the practice with many, very many, of our country people. Such attendance is distracting to school and discouraging to the teacher, besides it is an injury and injustice to the child, Let our rural schools open, a month or more ot profitable work ean be gotten in between now and Christmas, A.
