In the spring cjf 1847 a' little
body of emigrants numbering
less than 15 J, left Illinois push-
ed their way westward through
the wilderness until they came to
tlie valley of the great Salt Lake,
in what is now Utah.
They had migrated On account
of religious persecution and their
leaders had agreed to take them
to a "promised land." The val-
ley where they settled was any-
thing but promising. It was bar-
ren and nothing would grow
except by irrigation. Nobody
then in America knew much a-
bout irrigation, but the little
band of pioneers set out to learn
by experience. They raised one
erop and then their second was
destroyed by crickets, bat still
they were persistent.
And out of their persistence
has grown the mighty Mormon
church of to-day, with its vast
property holdings in the city of
Salt Lake, its .wonderful tenable*
and its thousands of membel-s.
it is not necessary to approve
of the Mormon religion to appre-
ciate the success the members of
the church have achieved. They
ihlVe grown rich through one
ngency more than any other,and
that agency is agriculture. They
have made the desert blossom
and'the desert in return has
made them rich.
Religious faith took thorn to
Utah and the same faith has
held them together all these
J't'iiM, bnt the faith did not keep
them alive. They had to till the
soil, irrigate, cultivateand work.
Isn't there a point for union
members in what the Mormons
have done?
The union, with its noble prin-
cipled, will hold.farmers all over
the South together in a common
caus , but great as it is unionism
won't take the place of work.
lJeing a union member is not a
ticket on the' train of agricultur-
al prosperity. Union people, as
well as others, have work to do.
The work is often hard, but it is
for a great cause. This is to be
remembered; it will always take
labor to wrest a living from the
soil and nothing will take the
place of work.
Iiut persistent work always
wins and, welded together by
thwr common imbi Jse, union
members of not only the South,
but of the whole country as well,
can become the most powerful
agricultural force thisnntionhas
, ever seen.—National Oo-Operator

A colored man is reported to
have killed a rattlesnake on the
Big Cypress that had 29 rattles
and was nineteen feet long. This
is vouched for to the Mirror by
R. S. Wallace and J. fl. N. Chil-
dress.—Mirror.
THEY SHOULD
*'My honest conviction, based iipon
my own experience and that of my
friends, is that "Hunt's Cures" will cure
a larger per cent of skin troubles, espec-
ially of an itching variety, than any
other remedy. Certainly those afflicted
ivith any form of itch should try it."

Too many young people look
upon lofe and marriage as a
game of grab. Don't take the
first man or woman that comes
along. Study the man or woman
you like. Don't jump at the
chance to get married—for you
are a long time dead after mar-
riage, if you make a mistake.—

A Thrilling Rescue.
How Bert R. Lean, of Cheny, Wash,
ivas Saved from a frightful death is a
story to thrill the world. "A hnrd cold,"
he writes, "fcrcugbt on a desperate lung
trouble that baffled an expert doctor
here. Then I paid $10 to $15 a visit to
a Jung specialist in Spokane,who did not
help me. Then I went to California, but
without benefit. At last I used Dr. King's
New Discovery, which completely cured
me and now I am as we'l as ever." For

A correspondent writes the
New York World: ''I heard the
late James Oliver, the plough
manufacturer who left a fortune
of .$(i0,009,000, say that the
tariff earned hhn more money
than all his plants and men.
Mis ploughs sold in Australia
for 00 per cent less than in Indi-
ana." Thus is shown how a high
tariff "protects" the farmer and
the wcrkingman.—Ex.

HIGH HATS IN THE CHURCH. 1 PRACTICAL NECESSITY.
''Ft is a strange tiling to me,"'
said a fellow in a barber whop
the other flay, "that women will
go to fin opera bareheaded, or
remove their hilts when they get
there, find tliene same women will
wear the very largest hats to
church nnd keep them on during
services." ''Yes," said a listener,
"and I'd just as soon be in hades
as to sit behind the modern cart
wheels bepecked with feath-
ers and abnormal flowers and
try to see the preacher while he
is talking. But the fact of the
matter is, the women have just
about turned the churches into
weekly millinery displays, and
the men,—well, you know they
are not much interested in ladies'
hats, so they stay at home orgo
to town, simply because this
modern hat display is a public
nuisance at church."—McGregor

A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. It
is the home pnper that keeps the
people of thecommunity in touch
with each other by giving them
all the news of their own neigh-
borhood and county. For that,
alone * bey are of value and
worth far more than the smnll
subscription price. They keep
the local pride and progressive
spirit aroused and in various
ways are worth far more to a
community than a community
ever spends on them. The daily
paper, with its large newsservice
and quicker facilities, may in
some instancies overshadow the
weekly, but the weekly home pa-
per fills a place in the hearts of
the people that a daily cannot
fill. It comes to your home as
au old tried friend.—Exchange.
