It is quite probable that the State of Virginia contains the banner county in the country in egg production for the past year. CIRCUIT Sensational That county is Rockingham, and it is needless to say that her farmers are prosperous and happy. Statistics show that from Rockingham county alone last year more than 80,000 crates of "hen fruit" were shipped to market. This means a total of some 10,800-000 eggs and does not include the many thousands consumed on the farms where they were laid. The value of the product, at the prices received by the producers, reached nearly 80,000, certainly a neat sum to be collected by the farmers of a THE family in our year and some of the children there.

A father talking to his careless daughter, said, "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have notice a careworn look upon her face lately. Of course, it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is in your duty to cdase it away. I want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast; when your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can not imagine how it will brighten her dear face. "Besides, you owe her u kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shadows, she was always ready to cure, by the magic of mother's kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with COURT Murder Case. the rough old world. "And then the midnight kiss with which she routed so bad and dismal dreams, as she leaned above your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long, long years. "Of course, she is not so pretty and kissable as you are; but if you had done your share of work during she last ten years, the contrast would not be so marked. "Her face has more wrinkles than yours, and yet if you were sick, that face would appear far more beautiful than an angel's as it hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelocks of sunshine chasing each other over her dear face "She will leave you one of these days.

The Fourth Quarterly Conference of the New Franklin circuit, St Joseph district, was held January 11-12 with Dr J Will Jackson in the chair. The report showed marked progress in work. The Doctor preached to a fine audience on the 11th and so profound was the impression made that sermon will never be forgotten by those who heard it. At the close of the sermon it was announced that the Dr would deliver a lecture the following evening. He was greeted by a large audience. His subject was "The condition of our people in the South." Never before had this subject been so elaborately discussed here. The speaker was at his best, at times growing eloquent. His lofty description of the accumulated wealth and various resources of our people in the South kindled the feelings of race pride and enthusiasm in the hearts of all who heard him, so much so that the people of this community have new views of the Southern Negro. This being NO.3 Dr Jackson's last year on the district and the last quarter of the Conference year on the circuit, the quarterly conference unanimously passed resolutions of respect to him for his painstaking superintendence over them during the past six years.

Guy, of Toddress before the Inte-State Literature, on the evening of December valuable truths relative to Negrooticable were these truths that we reproduce them for the benefit of the greatness of the American Prothe work of the Negro-American Lawyer James H. Guy, of Topeka, Kansas, in his annual address before the Inte-State Literary Association at Kansas City, Missouri, on the evening of December 26, gave utterance to some very valuable truths relative to Negro Journalism. So sensible and practicable were these truths that we are delighted, with his consent, to reproduce them for the benefit of our patrons. After speaking of the greatness of the American Press, he spoke as follows concerning the work of the Negro-American Journalist;— "It is within the province of this organization, being a literary one, to insist on a higher standard of journalism among our people. The press can be a potent factor for good or evil. It should always be for good. Poor journalism—or journalism aimed at—is conducive of evil rather than good. You have heard the cry for an educated ministry, but I tell you it is better to demand an educated journalism. Nothing is more powerful than the press—nothing goes so far toward moulding public sentiment. But if the blind lead the blind both fall. "The rights of the editor and those of the subscriber are reciprocal. He has the right and it is his dutv—for there is no right without a duty and no duty without a right—to demand that we read and pay for his paper. We have the right and it is our duty to demand that his journalism is our money's worth. "It is within the province of this Society to foster the propagation of that sort of journalism among our people as will create and establish healthy public sentiment Mr. Guy has taken a sensible of journalist, who are moved by a just and wise. Conditions now do will make it their business to obey them intelligently, void of fear. Our racial advancement will have more conscientious editors to entious ministers, teachers, professors of us, who are laboriously push and must have a journalistic person spirit of concord and unity, instead among us. We want editors, who work and mean to make journalism a medium to lift them into a job. Any one, who reads Mr. Guy of their duty, both as publisher and be properly trained, if we would s the great generator of this potent our national life. Hence, it is up to ful sentiment or not. If we throw delights in stirring up racial prejudice personal bulldoggery, we may hop ple trending towards the shoals of stand by the conservatively conscientiousists in work and sentiment, indeed, be assured that conditions in the betterment of the nation, state Mr. Guy has taken a sensible stand. His content on for a class of journalist, who are moved by a desire to do something, is both just and wise. Conditions now demand a coterie of editors, who will make it their business to observe conditions and then speak of them intelligently, void of fear. Our racial advancement will be greatly accelerated, when we have more conscientious editors to unite their energies with conscientious ministers, teachers, professional men, business men and others of us, who are laboriously pushing to the front. We need, want and must have a journalistic personnel that teaches and preaches the spirit of concord and unity, instead of strife and incredulousness among us. We want editors, who are such because they love the work and mean to make journalism a life work, instead of using it as a medium to lift them into a job. Any one, who reads Mr. Guy on Journalism, must be convinced of their duty, both as publisher and patron. Public sentiment must be properly trained, if we would succeed admirably. Journalism is the great generator of this potent energy in our racial as well as our national life. Hence, it is up to us as to whether we foster healthful sentiment or not. If we throw our support to the fire-brand, who delights in stirring up racial prejudices, inter-racial animosities and personal bulldoggery, we may hope to see the sentiment of the people trending towards the shoals of hurtful uncertainty. But, if we will stand by the conservatively conscientious editors, who are constructionists in work and sentiment, instead of destructionists, we may, indeed, be assured that conditions will be perceptably changed for the betterment of the nation, state, community and the race. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLUE CROSS. It has become necessary for us of the Blue Cross on page three. this mark presented to them seven they fail to make any manner of understand what it means.

Many of our subscribers have had this mark presented to them several times. But for some reason they fail to make any manner of response. Probably they do not understand what it means. If such be the case we shall endeavor to give them a lucid description of its significance. It means that your subscription is past due and if you mean to do the right thing it means for you to give us some kind of a reply relative to your account. It means that the management needs the money to liquidate its debts and to meet running expenses. If our subscribers will be a little more prompt in the payment of their debts to us—as prompt as they are to kick when something goes wrong, we could remove many of the things that produces 'kicks. That Blue Cross means that the editor's mind is tightly wedged between the pressman and the 'devil, a very enviable position. May we conclude with this recommendation, that you, when you see the Blue Cross, send a kind word or a money order to the publisher.

Speke, Kansas, in his annual ad- dary Association at Kansas City, Miss 56, gave utterance to some very Journalism. So sensible and prac- cure delighted, with his consent, to our patrons. After speaking of less, he spoke as follows concerning Journalist; — [in accordance with our merit. 'It is not enough that a paper contains a mention of Tom, Dick and Harry, Sallie, Katie and Nancy—that it carries all the ads' the manager can procure after a diligent canvas of a month or two, but it should contain thought—new thought, new ideas—fresh but not green—ideas ripened by the maturity of thought—ideas that when once conceived and put into execution, go down on the credit side of life's ledger and go to the benefit of mankind regardless of race or nationality. "We need a journalism labeled neither black nor white, with thoughts expressed in language as will convince the judgment of the reader, that the editor, if not a person of high Christian character, is at least not a grafter and demagogue, lying in wait for the victim from whom he may filch a pecuniary consideration without giving value received therefor. "Such a journalism would forever dethrone the self-constituted leader as well as the one that is created and established by a few for selfish and mercenary purposes." stand.

The Germans, the Irish or any other habituency say and do if one of their character, was turned down in the Dr. Hill down? Can we forget it? Why that we will, but it will be false, but every cultured and ambitious Negro. When we read through the columns of the St Louis papers that Thomas J. Akins, National Committeeman from this state, addressed the Negroes of St. Louis recently, we were surprised. After his actions in several instances where the N-gro was concerned, not as a Negro, but as a man, a republican, though black, especially his actions in the Dr. R. Leon Hill case, we were indeed surprised to hear of his coming before our people again. American citizens, Negro republicans can never heal the wound he inflicted upon their forbearant manhood by his withdrawal of his endorsement of Dr. Hill, alleging no other reason than that he was a Negro. If Dr. Hill was a Negro he was a more loyal republican than the Hon. T. J. Akins, because he votes for and sustains those cardinal principles of republicanism as enunciated by Fremont, Lincoln, Blaine, Sumner and other illustrious founders of the party. Republicanism, if we interpret its teachings properly, recognizes manhood in men, without regard to race, color or creed, because it has held within its ranks noble hearted and fair mixed men of all races, creeds and faiths. Missouri republicans, children of the "Mysterious Stranger," seem to forget that there are about 40,000 as "black" republicans as the republican deities could have created in the ranks. We grant that there are some grafters and "dirty cusses" in the colored contingent of the G. O. P. in this state, but we challenge the world for a more loyal and manly set of men than some of the "black boys" "who have never bent the sycophantic knee that thrift may follow fawning." If the republicans of this state mean to discriminate against us because of color, we must be careful about the class of republicans we select to bear our banners hereafter. As loyal republicans the party owes us something. If we vote the best class of unmarked tickets, we certainly ought to be given a "square deal" at the pie counter. We fearlessly support republicanism over the abuse of our democratic neighbors and employers. Many of us insult our personal democratic friends to stand by the party. In the face of all this, we have seen the flower of our aggressive manhood humiliated by such men as the Akins type. We are not republicans because we are Negroes, but because we honestly believe that the national policies of the republican party are the truly American policies, best suited for the general good of people. We are republicans because its policies have ever been to succor the oppressed, give hope to the discouraged and cheer the despondent. Hence we do not wish to be trampled upon to indicate to the world our long forbearance. What would the Germans, the Irish or any other element of our cosmopolitan constituency say and do if one of their most highly cultured men, with character, was turned down in the manner in which Mr. Akins turned Dr. Hill down? Can we forget it? No. Some may say that we will, but it will be false. This blow hit not only Dr. Hill, but every cultured and ambitious republican who happened to be a Negro. One of the most fashionable marriages ever celebrated in this city was witnessed by hundreds of people at the First Baptist church on the morning of the 29th ult. at 9:30.

A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not as account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish it. It is known that there will be a charitable organization to deny school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the attendance officer, on district clerk in a district not having attended a man in possession of a child who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9704 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school.

Awful Experience of a Bridal Pair Awful Experience of a Bridal Pair A STORY of thrilling interest comes from Cook county, down the north shore of Lake Superior, the most northeastern division of Minnesota. It relates to the home going of a newly-married couple who were attacked by wolves and had to ride and fight for their lives. A kind of Providence seems to have protected the settlers and others who reside in or have reason to traverse the territory that stretches from Duluth north to the majestic Rainy river, for thus far no human being, as far as known, has been killed by these fierce forest tramps, the four-footed outlaws of the wilderness. But at least a dozen men in this territory have thus far this winter had to spend a night in trees to save themselves from being torn to pieces. Woodsmen recognize it as dangerous to be abroad in the woods after nightfall or before daybreak in the morning. The adventure of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Carlson is the most exciting story that has come out of the north woods in a year or two. Mr. Carlson is a homesteader who has been holding down a claim about ten miles from the shore of Lake Superior. He has been moderately prosperous, and blue-eyed Lena Hanson, who got off the boat from Port Arthur, Ont., a few weeks ago to visit friends in Grand Maries, made such an impression on him that he at once decided that life without her would be dreary and unsatisfactory indeed. Carlson was badly smitten. He easily secured an introduction to her, for all people in Cook county are neighbors and neighborly, and the formalities of polite life in the big cities have no place there. They live 20 miles apart, but still they are neighbors. Lena Hanson admired the stalwart young homesteader. He looked like a man who could and would protect her. She little knew how soon he would be put to the test. Their courtship lasted but a few days, and they decided to marry at once. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson set out for the homestead at four o'clock in the afternoon, one hour after they had been quietly married. The sky was overcast and night was sure to set in early. Their means of transportation was a homemade sleigh, to which was attached the work team of their master. The team moved with the freedom peculiar to work horses when they are headed toward the barn. At about 5:30 the bride and groom were still three miles from the cabin, and the woods were dark and silent. The conversation and laughter of the couple were suddenly stillied by the howl of a wolf. Off to the right of the road, about two city blocks distant, came the ominous note again and again. The howls of other wolves in different directions were heard. The cheeks of the bride blanched. She had never heard the howl of a wolf before, but she knew what it was without asking the question. Mr. Carlson could see the unusual pallor of her face even in the night. He said nothing, but whipped the horses into a gallop, and, reaching down into his overcoat, drew forth a heavy revolver. Within five minutes the woods rang with the howls of many wolves. The first howl had come from the leader of the pack. It was the call to plunder and kill, so well known to the people of the north woods. The howl of wolves under such circumstances plants a feeling of deep dread into the heart of even those well prepared to defend themselves. But it also has the effect of causing one to prepare to fight with great calmness and determination, if escape in no other way is possible. There are other dangers to which men may be exposed that may cause them to get too excited to act to the best advantage, but thers is in the pack call of the wolf a quality that composes man and makes him calm and effective when other dangers may cause him to lose his lead at the beginning. "Do you think they will attack us?" asked Mrs. Carlson, in tremulous tones of her husband. "Sure," was the brief reply. "Have you got another revolver?" asked the bride, after a pause. Carlson shook his head. "Well, I can drive, you know, if that will be any help." Carlson flashed a look of pride at his bride and nodded. The horses were galloping, and they needed no whip. The animals were mad with fear of the desperate brutes that were now gathered for the attack. The wolves, about seven on eight in number, loped easily behind the sleigh, drawing steadily nearer, their eyes bleaming with a seeming light-of-emotional triumph. Caution is a deep-seated quality in the timber wolf, and the punk drew on slowly to their enemy, but prepared to strike when their leader should give the signal. The access, though stiff from hard work, developed a speed to which they had been unaccustomed since they were colts. But the best the horses could do was to get as near home as possible before the inevitable attack. Suddenly the leader of the pack shot 20 feet ahead of his companions. He was now close up. The attack was at hand. The big gray leader leaped up level with the heads of the bride and groom, but did not attempt to land in the sleigh. It was a sort of preliminary leap of investigation, but the other wolves came up close behind him and all were ready to seize upon the couple. "Take the lines and let the horses guide themselves," shouted Carlson, as he swung round and faced the pack. His revolver was worthy of the work at hand. It was a 38 caliber weapon of dependable make. With this in his right hand, and with his left resting on the back of the seat to steady him, Carlson prepared to fight for the life of his bride and himself. The sleigh rocked perilously at times. for the road was rough in places, but the danger of a tipover could not then be even considered. Carlson had scarcely faced the wolves for action when the leader again leaped, this time with a view of seizing the man. Carlson fired and wounded the beast, which fell back howling upon the road. But the leader was not put out of action. He was quickly back in his position, more savage and eager for battle than before. Two of the wolves shot alongside the sleigh to the right, and one took the same position on the left, beside the bride. Carlson quickly shot one of the two on his side, and, reaching over to the other side, killed the one that threatened to leap upon his wife. The beasts were a bit disconcerted at this but came on again, eager for their prey. Carlson wounded two more of the beasts and then his cartridges were gone. Another wolf tried to leap upon the bride from the side of the sleigh, but she plied the whip on the beast with such good will that he drew back. Just then the sleigh dashed into the clearing of the Carlson cabin, and the big homesteader shouted for joy. He thought that the wolves would now disperse. But the brutes were hungry and the rapture of the fight was in them. Carlson's dog, brave as its master, now came to the rescue, and he was instantly killed by the first wolf that he attacked. The team stopped in front of the cabin door, as if expecting a cafe haven there, quivering with fear and steaming from their exertions. "Out of the sleigh, quick!" shouted Carlson to his bride. He was by her side when she struck the ground, and he kicked the door in. Pushing her in and bidding her close the door, he turned with the revolver clubbed in his left hand and a heavy pocketknife with open blade in his right. Four wolves attacked him before he could back into the door, which was his intention, and he hesitated to try and get into the house for fear the wolves would follow him even there. Besides, his team must be protected after having brought him and his wife to the cabils without accident. Carlson is a strong and active man, but his strength and knife would not have saved him had it not been for his bride. Suddenly there was a crash of glass near the spot where the battle between the man and the wolves was in progress, and instantly the clearing about the house was lit up with a sheet of flame. The wolves fled in terror. When Mrs. Carlson found herself in the house she groped about for a weapon with which to help her husband do battle with the wolves. In the pocket of her cloak was a box of matches, one of the numerous supplies they had purchased that they had come near forgetting, and she happened to think of it while groping in the darkness. Lighting a match her eye fell on a lamp. Taking a broom, she emptied the kerosene from the lamp upon the broom and applied a lighted match to it. Then, breaking the window of the cabin, the bride climbed through the aperture with her faming torch ahead of her. The wolves that braved revolver and knife, fled precipitately at the sight of the flaming torch. Carlson's clothing was torn and he was bleeding from face and hands. But he was still strong and cool. His first words were: "Get the lantern, Lena. It's in the corner by the table." Lighting another match, she soon reappeared with the lantern, ready for use. Carlson stabled his team, but Lena helped him, despite his professes. When they had returned to the cabin, and Mrs. Carlson had dressed the wounds sustained by her husband, he turned to her and said: "Lena, you have saved my life. If it had not been for your quick wit, courage and promptness of action, I would certainly have been killed out there," jerking his thumb significantly toward the door. "Maybe," said the faithful Lena, "but you forget that you saved me out there in the woods and again at the door." "Don't forget the team. Lena. It was the horses that saved us both. We must not forget, too, that poor Sport, my dog, died for us." Lena then got busy with the supplies, and in a short time they sat down to their wedding supper, after their exciting and strenuous journey of the homecoming.—Chicago Tribune. Practical Training.
