The Case of Jones. The following poem written many years ago by sydney Lanier is especial ly timely now, when the reduction of the cotton aereage is attracting so much attention: That air same Jones which lived in Jones, He had this pint about him; He'd swear with a hundred sighs and groans That farmers must stop gettin' loans, And get along without 'em. That bankers, warehousemen and sich Was fatt'nin' on the planter, And Tennessy was rotton-rich A-raisin' meat and corn, all which Draw'd money to Atlanter. And the only thing 'says Jones) to dc Is, eat no meat that's boughten; But tear up every I 0 U, And plant all corn and swear for true To quit a-raisin' cotton! Thus spouted Jones (whar folks could hear, At court and other gatherin's,) And thas kev' spoutin' many a year, Proelaimin' loudly far and near Sich fiddlesticks and blatherin's. But, one all-fired sweaten' day, It happened I was hoein' My lower sorn-field, which it lay 'Longside the road that runs my way Whar I can see what's goin'. And after twelve o'elock had come I felt a kinder faggin'. And laid un'neath a plum To let my dinner settle sum, When long come Jones' waggin. And Jones was settin' in it, so; A readin' of a paper, His mules was goin' powerful slow For he had tied the lines onto The staple of the scraper. The mules they stopped about a rod From me, and weat to feedin' 'Longside the road upon the sod, But Jones (when he had took a nod) Not knowin', kept a readin'. And presently says he: "Hit's true; That Clisby's head is level, Thar's one thing farmers all must do To keep themselves from goin' tew Bankruptcy and the devil! "More corn! more corn! must plan less ground, And musn't eat what's boughten; This year they'll do it;reasonin'sound (And cotton will fetch 'bout a dollar i pound), Tharfore, I'll plant all cotton." Trackers and Gardeners Should Plani Largely of Early Peas. The severe weather which we have experienced during Feb ruary, and which has extendai far down into Florida, is going tc make a considerable shortage it early green vegetables, and or this account our markets will be very bare of green vegetables un til late. in the season. Indicationi are that the earliest crops .:i greet vegetables will sell at good prices both in home markets and in the large cities North. The. opportunity presented t< our Southern truckers and gar deners, to make money out of peai and other early truck crops 1i one that they should not fail t< take advantage of. Early pea: -are one of the first crops to comi ~in and can be safely planted jus as soon as the ground can bi gotten ready. A Chicago Alderman Owe. Is Elec tion to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

In an essay on breath a school boy begins: "Breath is made of air. We breathe always with our lungs, except at night, when our breath keeps life going through our noses while we are asleep.
