As the season hA, arrived Tor ants,
housewives and 9th, RS who are troubled
with them may probably use the fol-
lowing trap to advantages: Procure a
large sponge, wash it well and press it
dry, which will leave the cells quite
open then sprinkle over it some fine
white sugar, and place it where the ants
are troublesome. They will soon col
lect upon the sponge and take up their
abode in the cells. 1t is only necessary
to dip the sponge in scalding hot water,
which will wash them out dead. Put
on more sugar and set the trap for anew
haul; this process Will soon clear the
house Of every ant.

but the audience was, nevertheless, not

have neither time nor space, saying
nothing about ability, to offer either
enconiums or criticisms; but may,
perhaps, be allowed to say that too
much time was consumed during the
evening in work that should have been
done before, and the entertainment pro-
tracted thereby at the risk Of tedium.

well received; and the W ish that the AS

of the death at that place, of CHARLES

Mr.. SwctIand came TO this county in
the spring of 1887, and for some time
was located near Rochester. After re-
turning from 4 trip to California some
twelve or fifteen years later, he settled
at Upton; and after dividing his time
between this place and Mechanicsvile
until last spring, he again turned his
face westward, and was overtaken by
death upon the plains Of Utah. He has
been engaged in very many business
enterprises in this county with success
es enough to have made him immensely
rich had they been unattended by the
many revcrses which finally left him
where he started. In his business
transactions he was bold and energetic
to absolute rashness; and his faults were
not thoseof either niggard or an ascetc.

filled, in the best proportion as to rela-

ence, news and editorials Much space
is devoted to Iowa intelligence. An
Iowa corrcspondcnt-rcsident and well

the Post. An examination will sub
stantiate the claim of the Post to have
more in its Geographic columns, its cor
respondence, and its news items of int
rest and value to the State of Iowa than
any o1her paper published outside the
state. These facts, il, connection with
its exceedingly low rates, is gaining, as
it should do, very large subscription
for the Post in our State.

% The. people of Bienville
parish are moving on the subject
of erecting a factory within its
limits. A writer in the Rural
Times says there is plenty of cap
ital, and urges planters to put it
into factory where it will multi
ply and bring forth good fruit, in
stead of rusting the strong box.
This is a move in the right direc-
ton, and when our people come
to understand that manufacturing
can be made as profitable as agri-
culture, without their personal su
pervision, it will be an easy mat
ter to erect cotton factory in any
portion of the South.
