PLANTIEG TREEs s-The season Cor trans
planting fruit and ornamental trees is again
near at hand. There are few if any per
sons owning houses and lots or farms,
whose comfort will not be promoted and the
appearance aud value Of their property i'm
proved BY the judicious planting Of fruit,
shade and ornamental trees. OF the desira-
bieness Of an abundant supply of fine fruit it
IS unnecessary to speak. Let all, who have
not already an abundant supply, 20 to the
nearest nursery without delay and select and
plant the best varieties that can be had: il
always pays to get The best. Don't be too
saving and say | viii get the gratis aud raise
the trees myself; unless you have old trees
on which to graft, this is the worst kind Of
economy, you can buy three or four.year old
trees from the nursery for very little more
than it would cost you to graft them, aud you
gain four or FIVE years and as many crops of
fruit A word for shade and ornamental
trees. We admire the combining OF beauty
with utility wherever it can be done, but
don't believe in sacrificing everything to
utility. We believe in making our homes
attractive, whether in own or country, and
in no way can st be done more eheaply or
permanently than by planting ajudicious selec-
lion Of shade and ornamental trees and shrub
berry. Oaee planted and growing, they last
for generation aud increase in beauty With
the passing years. We pts the man who
from a false economy, or through neglect
permits bis home to stand exposed to the
fierce blasts OF winter and the broiling sun of
summer, without an effort to beauty or pro-
tect is nor do we wonder that his children
are glad to leave II aud seek more genial
and attractive homes among strangers. Make
the old home attractive without with fruit
ard shade hees and ornamental shrubs,
flowers, aud within, with books, pa
pers, and pictures, warm hearts, kind words
and smiling faces aud however wide yoar
children wander, they viii of fud their way
back to their childhood's home, and its
memory, thing of beauty, viii be JOY for
ever, and eashrined in their hearts, viii be
cherished while life lasts
Ora STREETS The unavoidable mud Of
early Spring will make muddy and disagreea-
bic for time the best kept streets. But
there is no good reason why the mud should
be bottomless. We don't know that this IS
really the case in JuIiana street, but then no
1ne has measured the mud here, and there
may be bottom somewhere down below;
nobody kuo#s. What has become Of the
project Of grading and paving this street 1t
S the only business part Of the town in which
he streets are not paved or macadamized.
With the exception Of East Pitt street there
IS far more travel on it than on any other
street in the town; yet it has been left from
year to year, often in far worse condition
han ordinary country roads; in Spring and
Fall with scarcely bottom to the mud and
in Summer with dust several inches in depth,
rising with every passing horse or team aud
pouring in sufocating clouds iaso every open
door OF window. The people in Juliana
street have been paying for grading and i'm
proving other streets far less used than their
own and would now like to see a little Of their
money expended nearer home. What say
you City 'atbers? When shall the work be-
gin
