-r.irrtjr Valuations,
Tlie fvillowlng In the aggregate valua
tion of alt clawe of pmpwrty as equal
tmtby theatntetataM and upon which
the state tax levy will be made:
We want It understood that C. M,
Brown write up the poultry column
of this paper, and tells what he knows
and what he dou't know. Conse
quently we want and uiimt have three
hundred new auUH3ribexs:iuiniedlatoIy.
The poultry business take lots of
hard work, and Is therefore nut the
enterprise for a buy person. The labor
given to It Is ennobling, and dixg-races
no man.
Labor wins In the poultry houxe;
not luck. The poultry house 1 not a
lottery.
To meet with suecees with poultry we
want the heus to lay well when cripi
are In demand and brinx a good price.
In order to accomplish this, fowls
must have proper care and attention
beforehand such as plenty of good
food, and quite a variety of It, giving
soft feed in the fore part of the day,
with wheat the last feed at ulght.
Plenty of clean fresh water la one great
eaeentlal. Another is a cleau, com
fortable place to rooet lu, free from
filth and vermin, and properly ven
tilated. Fowls that have plenty of exercise,
plenty of the proper kind of food,
with comfortable quartern to rooet In,
give a good return In eggs when they
command a good price. Then when
eggs are cheap, raise chickens.
Caal fltiM Everybody.
To find a community where there
la no bickering or back-bltlng.
To find a set of school trustees that
can act so as to plca.se everybody.
To find a school teacher who will not
be grumbled at or talked about.
To find a doctor that will at all times
peak kindly of his competitors.
To find a merchant that Is not
charged with unfair dealings by some
of his customers.
Humanity has not developed per
fection enotfgh to find a preacher
who can please all the mombcrs of his
congregation.
To find a newspaper that can please
all of Its readers, for in one column
man will find something to please
htm, while in another he will find
something to displease him.
It is a fact that there never has been
ut one perfect man on earth, and
while He was here the people did n't
believe in His perfection aud crucified
Him. Every good man has his fault
finders, and his good works are not ap
preciated until after he is gone. Ex.
Country editor: This has been
lucky day for me. Faithful wire: Has
someone been In to pay a subscription?
Editor. Well, no; it was n't as lucky
as that I scared a non-paying sub
criber out of his wits, of which he
had none to begin with.

Friend after friend departs. Who has
not lost a friend f
No sooner do we chroniole the death
of a friend than the tolling bell sounds the
sad requiem of another. O. B. Bimp
son, with whom we have walked in and
oat for near forty years, has passed the
Rubicon, and now rests with the silent
dead. During those forty years we
found him modest in dep ortment, a true
friend, and a man against whom the breath
of slander dared not lisp a word. G. 15.
Bimpson was born in Georgia on the 11th
day of May, 1811. When a boy be went
with his parents to Arkansas, He was
married yonng to Miss Mary Woods,
by whom he had three children horn to
him who were named Martha, Ittifus,
and John. After a few years of happy
married life the first chosen of bis loart
passed to the silent shore. H sometime
after was united in marriage to Mary
Davis. After one year of convivial joys
he too joined the silent majority, and
left him sad and disconsolate. In 18C7 be
took the almost trackless desert, and
Journeyed to Oregon, where he took up

Education is a good thing, but there
are some mistake lu the education of to
day, whlch.thesooner they are rectified
by the educator the better it will be
for the society of the future. It Is the
custom of leacbeni at the present time
to jtolut out to their pupils the many
notable Instances of great statesmen,
lawyers, physician, authors, and other
professional men, who have attained
their present high potiitons tliMiigh
constant study nod applKntlou. Hut
they never ti ll their pupils of the tunny
failure made by men who, In the hope
of attaining fame, choose a profession
for which they went totally unllttctl.
The prueMus ftiruicr and the well
paid, mechanic have made a far greater
sticivss In lire thim the minority of so
called professional men, ami It would
tie well if this foot were kept constnutly
before the youth of the nation.
Hpeaklng of newspajM-r nu n, j-v.
TalnmgeoucenJtld: "One of the greatest
trials of the newsWsr pnifceslou Is
that Its iiicntlterii are compelled to see
more of the world than any other pro
fession. Through every newspaper
office day after day Is found all the
vanities that want to lie repaid; all
themlstakes that want to U, corrected;
all the dull speaker that want to lie
thought eloquent; all the meanuciw
that wants to get its wares noticed
gratis in the editorial columns In order
to save the advertising columns; all
the men who want to tie set right,
Through the editorial and reportorlal
rooms all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation Is to U-ticve neither Gtxl,
man, nor woman. It Is no surprise tome
that In this profession there are found
skeptical men. I wonder Journalism
believes anything."
Tutirn fur a Crank,
A aciuMieuuisii ueiigitt ortcii seems
to possess peoplo of strong nerves In
sneering at those With weak otic. The
Irritability of the nervous hyscliotidrl
ac Is ridiculed as natural ill temper,
The very uciiuiutuiml distressing symp-
buns from which he stillers are made
llirhtof. "He" or "she Is a crank!" Is
tho cheerful sort of sympathy with
which the ucvou Invalids meet from
the unfeeling and thoughtless. At the
same time no complaint Is more de
lined and real, none has a more easily
explainable origin when it Is chronic.
Imjterfoct digestion ami assimilation
are always accompanied by nervous
disability nnd anxiety. Iliiild up the
power of assimilation and digestion
with !Iotttcttcr'tomncl Hitters, ami
nervous symptoms, sick headache,
and u general feeble condition of the
system, are remedied, Itememberthnt
feurful ravages are produced by In
grlppo among weakly, nervous eoplo.
lltistottcr's Htomach Hitters cures It,
and prevents malaria, rheumatism, ami
kidney complaint.
