1t is a fact, conceded by all that the
erection of lamps on our public thorough
fares is great benefit. The one absorb
ing demand now is, that there should be
more of them. We presume, the town
authorities introduced the present ones,
as an experiment. Nothing could have
given more general satisfaction. Now,
that the plank walks throughout the
town are completed, we respectfully
suggest, if the fund is sufficient, that
more lamps be put up. This is the
great necessity. five are to put on metro
politan airs, better do so in substan-
tial way. A man overly filed with
"benzine," or old Robertson County,
could easily demonstrate a parabOlic

pedestrians steps. We are informed
that the present eight or nine lamps,
cost some seventy or eighty dollars.
Money could not have been more
udic iousIY expended A few hundred
dollars directed in the same channel,
would lot be objected to. The outlay
would be small, when the cnnveniences
it would produce, are taken into eonsid-

LAW CsRD The law card of John J.
Dupuy, Attorney General of the 4th Cir.
cult, will be found in another-eolumn.
His Office is located in the court house
Bolivar, where parties who wish his ser
vices will find him when he is not called
away to attend the courts elsewhere. Some
people entertain the erroneous idea that
an Attorney General cannot practice the
profession Of law outside his elective of
flee. This is all wrong and those who
may favor Mr.. Dupuy with business will
find him ready and faithful He will de-
vote special attention to collections.

Care of Dairy stock in Winter.

The question in the wintering of any
stock is, not that which costs the least
present money, but that which pays best
in the end. The production of milk and
the yearly birth OF a calf are such great
drains upon the vital energies that the
COW, and especially the young one not
yet matured, requires full share of the
most nutritious food, to keep the system
in perfect condition She requires not
only food but absolutely good shelter,
and perfect quiet. If this all be carefully
attended to, we should hear bpt little of
vicious animals, and the unproductive-
ness of dairy stock.
One of the first requisites for properly
wintering cows is an abundance of the
best quality of early-cut and well cured
hay. If this be not obtainable, more
grain must be taken in the succeeding
season in this respect; for, however cheap
grain may be, unless supplemented with
good, bright hay, or corn fodder the
best results cannot be reached, Indeed,
it is too often the case that the damaged
hay is placed in the NOW or stack with
the better quality of hay. This not only
Injuries the latter but the former gains
nothing by its being so placed; and the
cows which should have the best are
obliged to fare with other cattle of less
value.
The cows should be placed under shell
Ter during all cool nights in the fafl; and
in the winter, should be constantly
stabbed except when taking the necessary
exercise Feed literally and uniformly
in the fall and early winter and the stock
will not have to be crowded in the spring
TO bring them 10 the proper condition.
Keep the cows in good flesh; not really
fat, but in such condition rs is called fat
by ordinary judges, and they will amply
repay the feed in the following season,
| We believe that COWS are better for eXer-
else and fresh mir in yard every fine day
| but good feeders differ on this question
| This much is certain; they are better con.
! fined constantly to the stable the whole
winter, than when allowed to be exposed

tree, and lift out the earth carefully, and
the small rootlets will thus be loosened
and preserved uninjured.
Chocolate Puffs. One half pound of
sugar sifted, one of chocolate, scraped
very fine, and mix together. Beat the
whites of two eggs and stir in your choc-
olate and sugar. Continue to beat until
it becomes stiff paste. Sugar your paper,

How TO Keep a Cheerful Kitchen
The kitchen, in the care of a wise and
capable housewife, can be as pleasant and
spotless province as the parlor above.
Pans, kettles, skilets, everything
should be perfectly clean, for the unob-
serving little know how sensitive most ar
ticles of food in raw state are. Meat,
for instance, standing on kitchen table
by an open window that lets in air from
stagnant water or otherwise, often "spoils"
IN short time, and the queen OF the
kitchen is disguised by the bad odor of
once nutritious food. Berries, everything
in fact of the edible kind allowed to re-
main in a dirty kitchen absorbs 1.-THE dis
ease of impurity," and sooner or later
tells on the health of the family.
