The rainy weather kept a great many at
home Sunday, butj the attendance upon
the churches was up to the average.
AT TUK FIUb<nTTKHIAX
After several week's abs, nc<, Dr. Lane
appeared yesterday among bis people, and
I preached an excellent sermon to au inter
ested congregation.
j lie took as his theme the feelimrs of tbe
| believer toward Christ. He is “one among
ten iLoumnd, and altogether lovely," is
, lue verdict of the UlLvet. His admirs
' tion for tbe life »nd character of Christ is
j unbounded ; bia feeimgs Can be nothing
else than admiration. H.- is alive to the
> preciousne* of Chrsst to him. He is
I bountifully bkased by being saved by
I Christ. Another feeling is that of grat
itsda f« ttoe invaluable gift of gr-.ee, aud
tbe salvation of Christ's atoning blood.
lu speaking of bi* trip, be mid be had
traveiiud through tbe Blue Ridge mountain,
but found that their subi uii'.y impressed
him less than when be roamed over tboin
in childhood'* days. But the older he
grew, tbe grander and more sublime was
ba a** plion of tbe glory of God.

CHEWED BY A CALF.
A well known Washington mer
chant tells the following story on
himself: He was born clear up iu
the mountains near the Tennessee
line. His mother died when he was
two months old and his father and
grandmother raised him by hand in
their lonely cabin on a mountain
clearing, miles from the nearest
neighbor. He was clad in a single
flowing garment ou the Mother Hub
bard style, made of homespun low
cloth, which was leughlbened as
years added length to his limbs.
He never saw a girl untii he was
16. Tbal year a terrible drought
struck iu and his father bad to go
ten miles down the ''cove” to get his
corn ground. So he yoked up tbe
steers and threw in several bags. He
was goiiitf U> a new and tar off coun
try and every sight was a winder
Arriving st the mill, he watched
with curious interest the corn mak
ing its way from the hopper into the
teai t of the stone and then spurm
white jets into the trough. He
went outside and saw the water
pour over and turn the huge over
shot wheel, and peered with a sen
sation us fear into which tbe wheel
was forever retreating.
On rising at a little distance he
■pied a log cabin, and shortly wan
dered over through the brush in its
direction. A rail fence slopped his
programi a couple of rods from the
dooway, and he leaned over anti
looked. There, aitting outaide the
door on a bench were two girls
Ono was spinning wool and the
other knitting. They were the pret
tiest things he had ever seen and
he nearly died right there. They
saw him and burst out laghting at
hie remarkable ap|warance. He
didn't know what to du, but thought
it was probably the proper thing to
stare al Ibetu aud laugh back, which
lie did with interest. This mutual
entertainment kept up for some ten
minutes, when one of the girl*
laughed so hard sl»c rolled ’ofl the
bench. He thought tbal n* queer,
but ju*l then he felt aomethiug cold
on bia lege
He luruetl around. As he did so
both girls shrieked with laughter
and ran iuUrtbe house, lie found
that the cold thing ou his legs
was lb« muxiiu of a bull calf
that wa« chewing away vigor
ously on what was left of tbe
rear of his dross, which had been
shockingly niultilated by the animal
during tbe few uiinuUta.be wa» star
ing at the girl*.
He has seen more girls since and
bears their •miles with greater
eijuammity. He Is also one of the
best dreused men in Wellington,
but that exjierienec with the bull
calf aud the girl* will never tie of
fered from bls tuctaory.—Washing

Knowing that Col. 8. C. D ihbaiaonc
of the best posted men in thia section in
regard to the wants and welfare of the
farmers, a Ciihonici.R reporter sought an
interview with him this morning concern
ing tbe
JUTK TRUST.
We found the Vulotnl lu his office quite
busy, but as be is always willing to say a
good word tor a deserving enterprise, be
very frvely gave us his opinions.
“Colonel, don’t yon think the farmers
will lose money by using Cotton Lagging!”’
asked tbe reporter.
“it is true tbey will lose some money,
but that is a small consideration when you
come to tbiuk of tbe object they have in
view. The putting down of the Jute Trust
is all important to the cotton planter* of
tbw country. Their firumva* in tbe matter
should be a strvug incentive to all mer
ebaoto
SOT TO BUY
jute bagging; to siaii.l by the planters, co
operate with them, as tbeir destiny controls
■ud makes tbe destiny ot other businete.'-
“Du you think the merchants and dealer*
will stand by the farmer ta thia flghtF’
“1 do in most all eases. There may be a
few exception, but tbey will ba amall, and
not araoant to a great deal, a* oppoaiUou."
“How do you think the cutlou bagging
will adoct the market prieear"
“It may ml sflect the pnoo materially,
but tbal baa nothing to do with Ike great
principle of tbe planters maiotxining their
co-operative plan against the Trust. Thu
prices of cotton are generally fixed upon a
basis of tbe crop. If there I* a small crop,
the prioea will be good; but It a large one is
gathered, tbe demand will not te so great,
aud ot course tbe pries will not be so
good--
“Will there be a large crop gathered this
F*nr
“Much, I think, depend* upon the late
nt* of tbe Fall. If frost stays off late,
aud we have pretty fair weather to gather
the crop, 1 think we will hart more cotton
than for ecvcral years past; but there are
many disasters that can come yet, viz:
caterpillar, storms, too much rain, and
tHMt, either of which would be very dam
aging to late cotton. Will say, though,
that the prospect fur a good crop la tine
now."
“Du you think Ute coUoclion will be
good Ibis Frtir
"I do. Much better than usual, lu the
that pises, it la one of tbe main principlea
ot the alliance m>-n lo uae economy, and to
pay tbeir debts promptly; and to withhold
payment* wind J be directly ta opposition
iu what they leach lu then |trine pice. 1
further belicvo that all true tutu tbal have
made good crops, snd eijiecl to maintain
a credit ta tbe future, will pay promptly
tbeir übligsUoM, and many no doubt will
try to pay old aicounta that have been
past due for aeverrt years. Most ot fvtn
eia, •• a rule, are boo*t man, and give
Bmmu a chance, aad they will pay tbeir
tabla"
Aa tbe Coiooal bad to attend to some
important Lusiimm, we Could not quest ton
Uim lurtber, but the blmjvc is enough to
show that we are financially tetter off than
w« have Ire* for years.
We hope all merchants will do all in
tbeir power to saatain the farmer* In tbeir

We Just Hade a Farmer wf Ji*.
Four brave, brawny boys—and our fond
v loutish hear ta
To rear and to guard and lo guide.
> It was curs to fatbum tbe gifts of each
mind,
To study the depths of each heart,
And discern, if we might, just tbe labor ot
’ life
That Dame Nature designed for their
part.
We bad pondered it long, but 'twas settled
at last.
That our Charlie a preacher should be,
' And our John, you should see, for a lawyer
1 was born,
> And our Joseph should make an M. D.;
, But tbe fourth waa so quiet and queer in
his way
That *twas bard to decide about him,
And we needed his help, so we said, with
a sigh,
i “We'll just make a farmer of Jim."
i So tbe three went forth from the farab
, yard gale
In the kingdom of books to toil,
To delve in scholattlc lore—while Jim
i He delved iu the farm’s rich soil
’ 'Twat h goodly sum we bad garnered by
For uk iu the hour of need ;
’Twas the savings slow of tae frugal years
But 'twas spent with a reckless speed.
. "Twas a goodly aum—like the wind It
went.
And the three never knew how we
planned.
How we worked and scrimped and strug
gled and saved
To furniah tbeir large demand.
And Jim—how he toiled through tbs
ceaaeleas round
Till each wearisome day gone ;
. Undauutad he by the ecathing storm
Or the noontide's scorching sun.
. With the plow and sickle, through crowd
<xi dayu,
He wrought till the fields were shorn,
t And girded in sbsavts was the harvest's
grain.
And garnered the tbe golden corn.
It was hard—so hard—through tte weaiy
moulin,
Yet not a complaint from Jim,
Though ail went out to tbe three abroad.
And nothing remained to him.
Deeds grand and bold han tbe soldier dona
In tbe mi'lit of tte battle's strife,
Yet naught that is nobler will e’rs ba
known
Than thia patirnt, unselfish life.
, But "twa* over al last, and from college
ball*
’ Came forth tlie children three,
1 Full of unkuuaru words, and of high Ideas,
Aud of hopes for the days lo te.
And they went abroad on tbe world’s bigh-
To learn tbal a language dead
And that classic lore was a worth'u as stock
To i xchsnge for Ihslr daily bread.
And what of Jim f He had read in books
Os tbe great and good of yore,
Os the glories of empire passed away
Aud of nations to rise no more.
But it waa from tbe pages of Nalurs'a
book,
From tbe blossom and bird and tee,
From the Kft green earth, and tte tender
From the mountain and tte surging sea,
That be learned of tbe deeper moaning of
Ma,
Learned its aeheme and scope sublime,
And In calms, that brood in the aolltude,
Learurel the nereis of the soul divine.
Unfettered by rule of measu e or school.
Hl* mind looked up from the aod,
And hi* thought* grew broad aa tte uni*
verse,
And deep a* tbe thing* of God.
And the people coms and besought our
Jim
Us bis knowledge to Impart,
And be taught with tte simple eloquence
Tbal thrills through tte human heart.
And tbey bowed them down to this son of
toil,
Aod they erted that tbe nation's need
Waa bia »t< ady brain as>l hie noble beart
And bls honor in word and deed.
And tbey came traaa tbe near, and they
came front the tar.
And they wouldn't take “no" from bim.
Bet they crowsed him with title, and
wealth and fame,
And they made a statesman of Jin.
