Resolutions of Respect. Resolved, That we, the mem bers of- Tupelo -Local No. 1610 of the Farmers Union, tender our sympathy to the family of our beloved brother, George H. Hill, who died December 30, 1910. Deceased was born in England, and had lived an hon ored citizen of thi3 country for 44 years He was one of the charter members of our Local, and wa3 highly esteemed. We enjoyed the association of Broth er Hill, but we trust he has gone to enjoy the treasures in Christ, which are the Christian’s inheri tance forever. Our prayer is that his surviv'ng son may look with pride at the record made by his father, and strive to honor his good name. “Example is grown on the rock and the les sen is not tom lost.” L. B.

The opportunities for profit which the raising of alfalfa of fers the farmers of the South east is indicated by letters re hv f-ViP T.nnd and Indus trial Department of the Southern Railway showing increased in terest in the production of alfal fa and highly profitable results in widely separated districts. Fort and Stone of Dunleith, Washington county, Mississippi, owners of a plantation in the delta, reported that on 28 acres seeded in the fall of 1909 168.8 tons were produced at a cost of $593.05. They figured this hay to be worth $15 per ton in the barn though hay was selling from $20 to $23 per ton. At this low rating they received a profit of $1,940.00 on the 28 acres, the hay costing them only $3.47 per ton. Reports from the delta show that about 50 farmers are now growing alfalfa with success all having seeded their fields in the last three or four years. J. W. Fisher, of Newport, in East Tennessee writes that he is 1 greatly pleased with results, hav-; ing averaged five tons per acre! and finding a ready sale at $22 per ton but he has found the hay so good that he prefers feed , jog it to his own stock to selling I ) .He has grown alfalfa on the ; uplind red calcareious clay, gen-1 erai throughout East Tennessee. | Success in growing alfalfa is also reported by growers in Soutnern Virginia, North Car olina and Alabama and the acre age devoted to alfalfa in all the Southeastern states is grow ing steadily.

She entered the room hastily. He was awaiting her. “I was afraid you would be thinking I had forgotten,” she said. “No,” he responded calmly, in the tone of one who is master of himself. “An engagement is an engagement with me.” • She was a beautiful girl. A wealth , of chestnut hair rippled below the j wide brim of her bonnet. Her close fitting tailored gown yielded to every movement of her supple form. He was a bit above the average height, a clean cut, square chinned chap, whose every expression bespoke self reliance. As he looked at her his glance was deferential, yet not timid. “It has been a long while since we saw each other,” he remarked. “Yes, nearly a year,” she replied. “But do you remember when I left that time you said I would have to come back?” “Yes. You should have come sooner than this.” “But I have been so busy—going and coming, dances, dinners, the theater and all." “I know. And you were married too? His voice did not tremble as he ask ed this, yet across her face there flash ed a quick tinge of humiliation. “I—I would rather not speak of that,” she observed, almost coldly. “That is all over. "We—we— It was to be expected. The truth Is we were not meant for each other. So I—I got a divorce.” “T«- n-na hotter so. no doubt.” he re Bponded gently. “Won’t you sit down ?” She took the chair he indicated, and as he looked down at her she flashed him a sudden smile. “I was afraid of you the last time,” she said merrily. “But you are not afraid now?” Ilis voice seemed to give her assur ance. She (smiled again. “No, indeed!” He put Ms fingers beneath her dim pled chin and tilted her bonny head back, then gazed at her earnestly. Her limpid eyes looked up at him trustingly. The rose pink of her cheeks came and went fitfully. The white of her throat throbbed with each breath. He bent nearer to her, still with that fixed gaze. Her lips were parted. He raised his head, and she looked out of the window silently. There was a pause. At last she spoke. “What are you studying about? What hare you decided?” “I think I’ll have to fill two of your teeth,” be said quietly. "The rest are all right. You have taken better care of them than most women do.”—Life. Grand, Gloomy and Peculiar. There was a marked contrast be tween Lincoln’s manner, which was afways pleasant and even genial, and that of Stanton. The latter’s stern, spectacled visage commanded instant respect and in many cases inspired fear. In receiving visitors, and they were legion, Stanton seldom or never sat down, but stood before a high desk as the crowd passed befpre him and one by one presented their re quests or complaints, which were rap idly disposed of. He was haughty, severe, domineering and often rude. When I think of him Ip the daily rou tine of his public audiences the char acterization of Napoleon by Charles Phillips, the Irish orator, comes to mind, “grand, gloomy and peculiar.”— From “Lincoln In the Telegraph Of fice." _ Eugenie’s American Ancestry, The Empress Eugenie was the grand daughter of Mr. Fitzpatrick, American consul at Malaga during the early years of the nineteenth century. Mr. Fitzpatrick’s wife w-as of Scotch de scent and claimed to be connected in some remote way with the Stuarts. They had one daughter, a very beauti ful and accomplished girl, who made a brilliant marriage with the Marquis De Montijo. Comte He Teba. He died aft er a few years of married life, leaving her with two young daughters, one of whom subsequently married the Duka of Alba. The other, Eugenie, became empress of the French. — From the Memoirs of M. Claude. Birds of a Feather.
