Three Prayers.
By Henry Van Dyke.
BEDTIME PRAYER.
Ere thou sleepest, gently lay
Every troubled thought away: ,’jg
Put offj’vorry and distress
As thou pattest off thy dress:
Drop thy buiden and toy cate
In the quiet arms of prayer.
Lord, thoujknowest how I live,
Ail I’ve dene amiss forgive:
All of good I’ve tried to do,
Strengthen bless and carry through,
All 1 love in safety keep,
While in thee I fall asleep.
NIG BT- WATCH PRAY ER.
If slumber should forsake
Thy pillow in the dark,
Fret not thyself to mark
How long thou liest awake,
There is a better way—
Let go the strife and strain:
Thine eyes will close again,
If thou wilt only pray.
Lord, thy peaceful gift restore,
Give my body sleep once more.
While I waite my soul will rest.
Like a child upon Thy breast.
NEW-DAY PRAYER.
Ere thcu riseet from thy bod,
Speak to God whose wings were
spread
O’er thee inlbe helpless night-’-
Lo, He wakes thee now with light!
Lift thy burden and thy care
In the mighty arms of prayer.
u,*'Ciis d-v
( Mils mob. *n untried way:
Let me gladly take the road,
Give me strength to bear my load,
Thou my guid aud helper he
I will travel through with Thee.

Planting Rape.
It is still not too late to plant
rape, mustard, spinach, lettuce and
turnip greens for winter “.alad”
says the Southern Cultivator.
Also plant plenty beets, turnips,
and carrots for family and stock.
>Vheat and corn are going to be
high. Do this while cotton is ma
luring and possibly advancing.
All clovers, alfalfa, vetch and
oats should also be seeded at once.
My plan is to prepare a a acre
are so and then stop the plow and
plant that.
Then you will get something in
on time, and will strike the season
right with part of your crop al
least.

“ROSEBUD.’
A WORD TO ’
BOYS. _
Young man, there is one thing
you cannot do. You cannot make
; a success in life unless you work,
> Better men than you have tried
and failed.
You can’t loaf around the streets
smoke cigarette, tell foul stories,
drink whiskey and sponge on some
one else without making a failuer
in life.
You must learn a*trade or get
uto some honest business, if you
don’t you will be a chronic loafer
despised by all producing nothing
simply making yourself a burden
- >n your parents or the State.
There is no place in the world
for loafers. The ripe frnit is all
at the top of the tree. You must
climb to get it,
Help your self, move do some
thing, no matter how small it will
be a stat ter.
Wake up and see what yon can
do.

VOL XVIII
A Growing Evil.
One of the many growing evils
of this country today is the city
department store.
In our city, where we have the
best of stores, the. most' honorable,
merchants, and, where .goods are
sold at a margiu'so small, as to af
ford a respectable living to our
business men, thousands of dollars
are annually sent to the department
stores of ourjgreat sites.
Farmer expect our arerchaeti te
pay them fancy prices fortheir but
ter, eggs and poultry, for their
pumpkins, potatces, apples, aad
tomatoes, and thee they take the
money received from oar heme
merchants and send it to a city de
partment store.
There is neither economy ©r how
in such a manner sf dolsgbusiaess
You can write it down •*. yam<
cuff, that as a rule, the city
merit store is a swindle.
Our citizens who patronize them
should be compelled to ship their
batter and.eggs to them.
There is nut a bueinesa man in
onr town who will not dup'ieate
theirprices fqtJbe same quality of
goods, and he who turn-down Ilia
home merchants for these fakirs,
is far from being a loyal, patriotic
jir,govd citizen. , -
ii i i jiiic unc
It is little use for the Uml edi
tor to waste his lungs and sprain
his spine in trying to booiqa town
when the citizens all stand around
with their bauds in their pockets
and indifferently Wait for some
thing to turn up.
If the capitalist or business men
do not put their shoulders to the
wheel and do a little boosting it is
useless for the editor to try ami
boem thingo.
He can write “boom” a. Holes till
he gels bald beaded, but if the cit
izens themselves do not take hold
add push, the town will forever
stick in the mud.
Os wliat use is it for the local
paper to suggest improvements
and new enterprises if the sug
gestions are never acted upon?
One man cannot boem a town.
It requires tqe concerted action ttf
the citizens.
When one man shoulders a town
aud attempts to carry it, there are
always a lot of cranky kickers
ready to jump on top of the load.
Unity of action is what knocks.
