PAY Your TAxEs.-The Sugar-Plan-
ter says:

PAY YOUR TAXEs.-The Sugar-Plan-
ter says:
We have made the payment of taxes
the subject of more than one article, and
by this time We suppose our readers are
we'll posted upon the necessity Of SO do
ing forthwith. There are many under the
impression that unless there are bidders
at tax sales, the property cannot be sold.
This is a great mistake. Whenever the
bids do not reach the amount at issue, or
there are no bidders present, the Col
lectOr buys it III for the State and it team
only be redeemed within six months
from the day of sale upon the payment
of fifty per cent. additional with all
costs and expenses. After that time it
becomes the property of the State; but
should there be Il purchaser, he secures
a title to the property purchased from
the Auditor who confirms the sale III
the name of the State. Now, if some
men have money enough to resist the
payment Of taxes, theirs is the privilege
so to do, but few men can be found in
these times who have money to waste in
legal entanglements and who are willing
to lose all, or nearly all, in such a haz-
ardOus business. Itmay be arich mans
quarrel, but it is a poor mans fight.
The Kellogg government beingde tdctO,
it has the right to levy and collect taxes,
and taxes thus collected are legal in
every II OF law, and can hever be
exacted a second time by any other au-
thOrlty whatever. We frankly and con-
seienciously warn Il readers against
any attempt to evade the payment of
these dues to the State-especially do
we commend the advice to the poor men
of our parish who have but little prop
erty and who cannot afford to lose the
support of themselves and their fami-
lies. Upon them will the blow fall
heaviest and to them we appeal. There
is no way to evade these payments and
all Courts, District and Supreme, will
support the State in the maintenance
of the Government. OF that be assured.

TranSDlantinr Trees

If we were asked the question
what causes the greatest number
of failures in removing trees, we
should unhesitatingly answer, al
lowing the roots to become dry
while ont of the ground. Especial
ly is this the case with the conifere
or cone-bearing family, and in fact
all trees with persistent or ever
green leaves.
Despite the oft-repeated cautions
of our leading horticultural writer's
amounting in many instances to
earnest pleading-the careless prac-
tice limited at is still adhered to by
a large proportion of our planters,
including many whom we fear
really know better. Scarcely a
day passes during the Spring and
Autumn months that we do not
notice trees and plants lying out
waiting until the workmen are rea-
dy to set them, although exposed
to the combined influence of the
wind and sun, which invariably
causes rapid evaporation to take
place. In the majority of instances
the nurserymen are obliged to bear
the burden of the failures-"for was
not the planter careful in setting
his specimens9 hence previous dis
ease must have been the cause"
Friends, never let the roots of
your trees dry for one moment
when out of the ground. You
might justas well keep your favorite
Cotswold and Durham from the
water-trough and expect them to
thrive. Tramping the soil firmly
preserves the roots most after the
planting, and a slight mulch over
the surface completes the work in
a satisfactory manner.-WEEKLY
TRIBUNE.

And now a word about pears.

Keeping Eggs Through the Sum-


Teke eggs that you know to to be
good for if stale of course they will
not keep well. and place them in a
frkin>first sprinkling two inches
depth of salt all over the bottom of
it. Put in the eggs the small end
downward, so that the yoIk will float
in the middle of the white, and not
cling to the side of the egg and spoil
it, Fill up the frkin with eggs and
lay board over them or a plate, to
prevent them from floating when the
brine is poured Then slake three
pints of lime in six gallons of water
and add to it two and half pints of
corse salt. stirring it up thoughly.
Let it stand over night to settle, and
pour the clear water carefully over
the eggs.
The eggs must be kept entirely
under the brinesfor if allowed to float
upward they will spoil.
n brine thus prepared will keep
eggs for year at least, but care
must be taken not to let one of them
break in the brine, and spoil il; if
this occurs, turn IT all out and make
Il new brine for them.

What Is Made and What il Sold.

Ii is our design to keep before the
readers of the BRISTOL NEWS those
exclusive enterprises of our town
which are worthy of the confidence
and attention o. the public.
The Foundry anil MacIijIie Shop

nessee Depot. They make very fine
article of Cast-irUn Hollow ware.
Mill Gearing, Tilt Hammers, Coal
Crates fur dwellings, a large variety OF
Flows, which are stOcked in a manner
which is not equaled at any other es-
punishment within our knowledge,
aid large number of other articles
too numerous to mention. The bust
ness is superintendent by Mr.. Dixon
originally from eastern Virginia, but
more recently from the Stale of Geor-
SIa. MIR. Smith is the practical ma
chinist and is one of the most cOmpe-
tent and skilled workmen We ever
saw. Mr.. Nelms gives his attention
to the moulding department, and also
to the stocking of riows. A twenty
horse power engine is employed. No
piece of work is allowed 10 leave the
establishment unless tested and be"
lieved TO he of good quality.
The Sash, Blind uHd Door Fac
tory
of Messrs. Mattox, Lee & Ferguson is
on Lee Street and has combined with
it the
Furniture Business,
which is under the immediate super
vision of Mr.. q. II Mattox. who has
been. successfully at the business for
many years, and is well known in the
country. Quite Il large business is
done for distant points, and a very SUI
perior article of Furniture is made ut
prices which are low. The styles are
the very newest and best. This
branch of the business has been sue
cessfully introduced to the public as
far East as the New River valley and
West to MOrristOwn.
The Sash and Door department is
superintendent by Mr.. John Lee, re-
Gently from Culpepper &. H., Va. He
is a skilled workman and has already
gotten the business upon such basis
that its success has been beyond his
Own expectation. Sash, Doors. Frames
and Flooring are turned out with
great rapidity, and in large quantities
and are shipped daily to points in S.
w. Va, and East Tennessee. Orders |
are filled in almost an incredibly short |
time and the work is of excellent |
quality. a thirty horse power engine |
and about one dozen hands are EN- |
ployed.
