' T1m v American Farmer nays: The
time ba passed for farmers to depend

They mast do niorethinkingand plan

doctor medicine; the merchant tuust
study commerce the laws of supply

quaint himself with the principles and
details of fiuances. Just so the farmer
must study farming. The experiments

defended him in their own war and

lawyer through his mouth. The mur

acquitted. But see the difference

"The editor is a scoundrel, and did
so for pay. Lo! we will stop his paper

A meet dwgrarefnl and dipguslicg

There are a large number of people
in every growing community whoe

rise in gurroomliag property, without
a f ingle effort leing put forth on their

cent. This may have been the result
of shrewd investments or it may have
Iseen luck. In either cane, the owners
of suth land should M an obligation

MT IDEA OF IT.
The following article, from the
Mcxia (Texas) Ledger, contains many
sentiments wlach are very good, and
some of which we endorse:
"I wish to speak to some of the good
patrons and friends of our school, re
lating to some points on education.
The most of you have often revolved
such thoughts as the in your mind :
What is the U'st thing I can do for
my Mary or TommieT They will
leave the parental circle in a few years,
and what shall I give them as their
portion? What kind of men will my
boys make? What shall my precious
daughter do if the fates have decreed
she shall live alone? Too often are
these questions put to one side with
out receiving due consideration. Often
to the detriment of the child do they
decide to leave it all the money or
land possible. If you winh to make
your son a man whom people will
honor, give him an education that will
so mature his mental powers that men
will seek his counsel If yon wish to
leave 1dm a legacy of the greatest val
ue, and make him self-sustaining, ex
pend bis portion of the estate in edu
cating him. What assurance have
you that it will be his in ten years
hence? How much money will he
have paid out for taxes and general
repairs, etc, during this time? If it
should take the wing of the morning
and find lodgment in the hands of an
other, what is left upon which to de
pend for comfort and supjiort? But
on the other hand, if the estate is in
vested in an education, there are no
taxes to pay on it, no way for any one
to gull him out of it, but it is his as
long as he lives ; and with it he can,
with less exertion than with the mon
ey, reap an hundred fold. Then
which is the better investment Iot
your son?
"Mother, what are you going to do
with your daughter? Are you raising
her just to marry some man that by
chance may come along? If so, may
the eternal fates ever decree against
you. Who are the happy women of
our lovely den, wives or maids? Cer
tainly those who are nearest man's
equal If your highest aspiration is
that your daughter should "marry
well," you would want the man to
have a noble character and high aspi
rations. For an example as illustra
tion: Do you suppose a man on the
earth, where the rays of the sun are
so blight and genial, would be happy
living on Jopitcr (supposing it were
inhabited where the light is very
dim and all other things inferior to
those on the earth? It is just as un
reasonable to presume your daughter
with heart and head uneducated to be
admired by a roan with the above
noble traits. Then for her own hap
piness you should educate her. But
it is your duty so to equip her that
ahe may sustain herself, if left without
a protector or money. Listen t the
words, the burning words of Husse!
Lowdl : "Xot failure, but low aim is
crime."
Chi last Monday evening we made a
virit to the flourishing little town of
Pcio, and while there we noted several
new buildings going up and some
just finished. They have two new
bricls in course of construction, one
nearly completed and the other just
started, and several other improve
ments, which show the town to be on
the increase. One thing we would
speak well for, and lhat is their real
estate offiice, Myers t Fhelton, propri
etors, which has certainly advertised
the town well. It should be encour
a& helped by every true citizen
who has the good ef hU town at heart.
