_ FARMERS of the United State# have in TWO YEARS
produced wealth exceeding the output of all tbe gold
mine* of the entire world since Columbus ditcovered America.
This year's (1904) farm product is over six times the amount
of the capital stock of all national banks; it is three tim« sth«
groso earnings from the opeiations of the railways, and thiee
and one-half times the value of all minerals produced in thin
country, inoluding coal, iron ore, gold, silver and quarried
stone.
The steady advance in poultry leads to astonishing figures.
The farmers' hens now produce one and two-thirds billions
of dozen* of eggs, and at the high average price of the year,
the hens during iheir busy seasou lay enough eggs in less than
a month to pay the Year's intciest ou the national debt.
The corn crop of 1904 yields a farm value greater than ever
before. The farmers could from the proceeds on this single
crop pay the national debt, the interest thereon for one \oar,
and still have enough left to pay a considerable portion of the
government's yearly expenses.
Horses and mules reached the highest point this year with
an aggregate value exceeding $1,354,000,000.
The value of farms and farm property within four years
Increased about $2,000,000,000.
Our farmers buy $100,000,000 worth of machinery a year.
The impioved fii aucial condition, of the farmer is indicated
eXpiessiveiy by d«p< >its in banks in several states in which
there i« so little manufacturing and mining that the eouditions
are chiefly created by gr eullure.

Their Favorite
Family Paper,
1. Because it is the oldest. The boys and cirU became ac-
customed to reading t ami attached to it as they gvc>w to man-
hood and womanhood and themselves became heads ot fami-
lies. Now they will not do without it.
2. Because it is essentially a county newspaper—tho hap-
penings fiom every section of the entire county are printed
every week.
3. Because it prints market reports, vital statistics, real
cftate transactions, marriage licen-es court docket assign-
ments, various court proceedings directories, time tables and
nil such other news as makes a county seat paper indespeusi-
ble to every intelligent farmer. Send in your subscription ut

8t Petersburg, Jau 20.—The
festival of the Epiphany and th<*
bleshing of the waters had lu*i
concluded at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon when simultaneous
with the salute fired from Si
Peter and St Paul Fortress, eith-
er a ruin of bullets or n fhrapml
*wepi over the little chapel built
over the frozen Neva in front of
the Winter Palace where Emper-
or Nicholas and every member
of the Romanoff family were par-
i lpitting in the services. The
missiles went high, entering win-
dows of tha splendid row of sal-
ons along the water front, from
which the Empress, the ladies of
the court aud the members of
the diplomatic corps, including
Ambassador McCormick, Secre-
tary Eddy and Secoud Secretary
Bliss and all of the high dignita-
ries of the State, array and navy
were Witnessing the glittering
spectacle below.
Foitunatcly the bullets passed
over the heads of all preseut,
striking the opposite wall and
clattering down on the parquet-
ted floor of the white salon.
Fifth Sunday Meetings.
St Petershuig, .Jan 20.—The
oereraony of the blessing of the
waters this year was accompan-
ied by an event more mysterious,
unprecedented and extraordiu .ry
than any afforded by the annals
ot Russian history. For a Ru—
sian sovereign to fall by the hand
of an assassin is no new thing in
Russian records, but that the Km-
I eror should narrowly escape
death by a shot from his own ar
tillery while he was engaged in
solemn religious rite, surrounded
by priests of his church, is so
difficult to roalize as to be almost
incredible. Yet thi* is what hap-
pened today, and the Russian
public is left wondering and mys-
tified. By the merest chance the
Imperial family escaped unhurt,
but public opinion is stunned by
what might have been the tragic
result of the affair. Despite the
official statement that the cannon
-hot :vhiuh ea«ny might ha\e
wiped out the whole of the Koin
am ff family whs the result of
raielesMiess in leaving a shotted
cartridge in the breech of the
gun after target practice, the
mysterious ca-e is *till under tin
combined investigation of tin
Military and police and the pnb-
be seems as little inclined as the
authorities to accept the pub-
li-lie ' version.
