the old Presbyterian meeting house

Of the most approved description
Ample room and plenty of light are

that have much to do with the char
acter Of the work produced by any
manufacturing establishment. Just
across the street from this building
Mr.. SchAbacher has erected fine
new blacksmith shop which is as
we'll fitted and az completely fur-

means honest prosperity, OF which,
wherever found, we are always glad

Seediug-Late Season.

Notwithstanding the ohaDgsable
and cold weather of ten days past
most OF the wheat is already sown
in this county. The seeding season
is quite two weeks later than last
year Bssing an estimate upon the
statement of farmers residing in diff
ferent parts of the county, We are
of the opinion that the acreage OF
wheat sown this season is full 9
third more thar the last oats bali
less aud corn considerably more than
the previous season. The clover
crop was greatly damaged by late
fall feeding and by the severe winter.
The same is true in 6elus where the
late fall growth was neither clipped
or ted, the clover being "smOthered
by the falling tors aud the snow.

words in regard to white washing
There are many receipts published,

transparent glue, prepared as fol-
lows: the glue is covered with cold
water at night, and 10 the morning
is carefully heated-without scorch'
ing--untl dissolved. The Paris
white is stirred in with hot water, TO
give it the proper milky consistency
for applying to walls the dissolved
glue is then applied with a brush
like the common lime whitebrush.
Except on very dark and smoky
walls, q single coat is sufficient. 1t
rs now equal in brilliancy to "Einc

A SNAKE SToRY.-The Pulaski
Tenn. )citizen tells this little tale, which re-
fleets great credit upon the ingenuity of
somebody: "Charles T. Robinson, of
Giles county, killed chicken snake which
measured seven feet in length. He found
it in a crack of the fence, half of its body
being on either side. On examination it
developed that the snake had swallowed
a rabbit before it had attempted to crawl
through the crack, and that after its body
was half way through it caught and swal-
lowed another rabbit, thus having rabbit on
each side of the fence. The crack was so
small that the rabbits could not get through,
and the consequence was that the snake
was hitched. 1t was killed in this situa-
ton - ~
