FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE
Hon. Charles Collin of Bates ville
announces in today's paper as a can
didate for circuit judge to succeed
Judge Fulkerson who resigned a short
time ago. Judge Coffin was ap
pointed by Governor Pindall to till
the office until tin election could be
held, and as he is now engaged in
holding court he will lx* unable p>
make a personal canva-s of any poi
tion of the district. The candidates
for circuit judge will be voted upon at
a special election to be held in con
junction with the general state elec
tion on Monday, September 14. and
should the people see fit to elect Judge
Coffin, The Journal has no hestitaney
in saying that he will at all tiint dis
charge the duties of the office fairly
and impartially and in a manner satis
factory to all. His ability and knowl
edge of the law and his standing as a
citizen who has labored unceasingly
for the good of his country, mark him
as a man eminently fitted for the posi
tion he seeks.

Small Fruits for Fall.
One of the objects sought in late
years has been the creation of over
bearing varieties of the small fruits
or of those that will bear a second
crop in the fall.
This has never been achieved, al
though claims have been made from
time to time. The tree fruits, such
as the apple and peach, have always
possessed sorts that naturally fruited
in the fall, but the raspberry, black
berry and strawberry and other small
fruits have their one appointed season
for bearing and it is in all cases in
the spring, or at least the fruits
blossom and start into growth at that
time, though some varieties of the
blackberry do not ripen till the snuv
mer is more than half gone.
Claims have been made for an ever
bearing raspberry, but it does not
seem to have been a success. It is,
however, common in the case of all
these berries for them to bear a kind
of second crop by putting forth fruit
stems now and then after the main
crop is gone.
The strawberry, too, often blooms
in the fall after a long drought, fol
lowed by copious rains.
Recently, however, some varieties
of genuine tall-bearing strawberries
have been introduced, whose claims
(tin to be well substantiated. But
h re again they are admittedly not
. ver-tcariug, but bear in the fail only
when their blossoms have been kept
picked off during the spring, other
vise they would bear all their crop
.11 ihe spring, just as other kinds.
These fall-bearing strawberries pro
mise to become very valuable and of
.peat eonnnercial importance in at
east the southern states, where the
tail is warm and frost does not come
. ill towards Christmas.
This would give them a long sea
on and an opportunity to bear large
jiops. But even in the middle and
•von Northern states they would be
ciconied if they' are abje to afford
a. supply of the delicious strawberry,
ven for a short time.
One of the best known of these
—the Pan-American—was originated
u New York, and annually produces
its n. ovvers quite a crop during Sep
ember and up till frost.
They cm be made to fruit in Aug
ust if desired by allowing the blos
otns to remain thirty days before.
There seems to be no reasonable
doubt that fall strawberries will soon i
be seen in all the markets, and it is j
not too much to expect that the same
will eventually be true of the rasp
berry' and other small fruits.
Time to Build Warehouses.
This is the time of year to build
warehouses and gins. Get in a po
sition to handle and control your own
cotton. Be able to market intelli
gently. The mills require a year to
manufacture and the world takes a
year in which to consume it. Then
why try to force it all on the market
within one-fourth of this time?—Na
tional Co-operator.
If every cotton farmer understood
trade, manufacturing and market con
ditions as well as he understands
planting, tilling and harvesing, he
would undoubtedly he a great deal
better off. If cotton selling, with or
without the warehouse plan, were
made an all the year round business,
like butter and egg selling, and cotton
buyers were required to work twelve
months to earn their salaries, it would
certainly affect the stability of the
price to the advantage of the pro
ducer. If it were necessary for the
mills to look for stock every month
in the year instead of four or five
months, they might be better bidders.

Kansas Hog Versus the Missouri Hen.
A Kansas paper says that if all th(
hogs raised in that state last yea;
could be rolled into one hog it could
dig the Panama canal in two roots
and a half, and wants to know how
long it would take the Missouri hen
to scratch out the canal. We can't
tell him about that, says the Humans
ville Star, who goes one better and
continues, "but we do know that the
Missouri hen can pay for the big ditch
in one and a half years.”
Fanners have discovered that the
best types of corn do not contain
fourteen pounds of cob per bushel,
and the grower who has 1000 or
2000 bushels of corn to spare shells
it and keeps the cobs for fuel. He
sells the corn shelled at fifty-six
pounds to the bushel instead of sev
enty on the cob, and finds that he
actually marketed more bushels. This
makes large corn shellers in demand
in every neighborhood.

"NEVER DESPAIR.”
The Story Taken from a Minister's
Diary.
The subject of this sketch was
about as hopeless (?) a case as one
would care to meet. He was an ex
cellent pharmacist. Having a drug
gist's license to sell liquors that were
actually required in the community, he
proceeded to sell freely, violating his
legal privileges, and became one of
his own best customers.
After a time evidences of illegal
sales accumulated against him until
he was deprived of his license, thus
cutting himself off from the sale of
any and all spirituous liquors.
Soon after this I met him, to have
any conversation, for the first time.
He was partially intoxicated. I told
him plainly that 1 was glad that .he
had lost his license, and that I hoped
now that he would clean up, stop
drinking and come with his family to
church.
He replied that such action would
he misinterpreted, in that his critics
would say that he was doing it (just
then) to curry sympathy. I appealed
to his sense of right, tried to show
him the folly of any other course of
action, and urged him to do the right
tiling whatever might be the remarks
evoked by his change of front. Tears
filled his eyes and he thanked me for
my counsel, asked me to pray for him,
and we parted.
We kept him in sight for some
weeks, quietly urging him to the per

formance of duty, when, finally, he
appeared in church. Here was a
marked change to start with, and
promised better things.
It was not long before he came to
the parsonage for conversation, writes
O. W. Scott in Home Herald. He
seemed very sincere and penitent,
and before he left the house he signed
an iron-clad temperance pledge, and
gave himself up in prayer to the Sa
viour. A few weeks passed when it
became evident that tm had yielded to
temptation and had broken his pledge.
When confronted he confessed it with
tears. We determined not to give>
him up. He came again to the parson
age with a friend who had become
greatly interested in his salvation. Ho
seemed heartbroken that he had failed
in his first good purpose. He was
counseled again to a complete surren
der of himself into the keeping of the
Great Deliverer. He did so, appar
ently without reserve. His prayer for
himself was pathetic, comprehensive
and impressive. He arose from his
knees a thoroughly converted man.
His face showed it, and his conversa
tion and actions proved it.
He culled for the pledge again, re

did. He retained one copy and I kept
one. That pledge has been sacredly
kept.
A little later he united with the
church with his wife. That was really
a great day in our Zion. When the
vows were taken and the baptisms ad
ministered there were tears of jcA
and gratitude flowing from many eyes.
The dead was alive again, the lost was

are still talking about this “miracle of
