Horticultural Society.

We have talked with number OF our
Fruit growers and farmers in reference to
the idea and practicability Of organizing a
county horticultural and Floricultural
Society. We believe it could be done
and done successfully. We believe there
are enough people in lama county inter-
ested in those subjects, either directly or
indirectly, to form good sized society.
There could be county society organized
with branches in each township. The
township meeting to be held monthly OF
oftener, and the county meetings say once
a quarter. By this mean those interested
and experienced in fruit and flower cul-
ture could come up together and talk mat
tiers over, and have as it were scrt OF
class meeting or experience meeting Many
new ideas would be brought out. and we
believe it would give an impetus to those
branches Of industry In our county. The
society could be formed with very little
expense. The quarterly meetings could
he arranged SO that at least two Of them
would come in the fruit season, when the
members could bring specimens OF their
productions and nave kind OF falr'
closing up with q festival when the fruits
and flowers would be sold for enough to
pay the expense Of attending. We believe
this could be made not only success
financially, but that it would awaken an
interest in these pursuits which would re-
suit IN great profit to those taking part
We hope the farmers, and oil interested
vill move in this matter. We freely ofie'
you space to discuss this subject in our
columns. We win have moro TO say or
this subject hereafter.

Tariff and Transportation Charges

The Tribune will advocate the adoption
of such measures as vii cheaper trans
portation and reduce the taxes on goods.
The lightest tariff which will provide the
Government with necessary funds to carry
it on and maintain its credit should only
be imposed on imports, and the national
highways should be improved to create a
stronger competition with the railroad
monopolies, which will compel them to
lower their tariff of charges.

Festival,

Last week there. were posters issued
stating that Neck-tie and Oyster Festi
val would be held in the Court House
tuesday evening, the proceeds Of which
would be applied towards purchasing .
library for the NJ. E. Sunday School
Tuesday evening came and preparations
were made for the Festival. Upon arriv-
ing there we found the greater number Of
those present were young people. The
evening was quite cold and the attend
ance was somewhat smaller than we anti:
cipated, though it was 2ery good: but to
make up the lack Of numbers those pre.
sent seemed to be possessed Of spirit Of
iloerality and good cheer The selling Of
Neck-ties and Aprons was the cause Of
much fun and laughter. Shortly after the
sale commenced supper was announced.
The preparations which had been
made were most ample, and there
was no need of any one going away
from hungry. The supper consisted
OF the cdibles, usually found at such
places, such as chicken, cake, biscuit
and butter, hot coffee, pickles, &c.
&c, and was highly enjoyed by those
who partook of the same. The oysters
were cooked by Mr. J. T. Wilson, Of the
flrm Of Wilson & Neff, and he was kept
very busy during the greater part of the
evening. Then there were peaches and
cream, nuts, candies, apples, oranges, &c,
&c, which were sold at a pretty lively
rate. A great deal Of interest centered
in the ring cake. This was a most deli.
clous axe, in the profound depths of
which was deposited a gold ring. The
cake was cut into thirty five pieces, which
sold for 20 cents each. The lucky pers1.n
was Miss Allie Cannon The ring was a
neat gold band, finely chased Much
merrlment was caused by the struggles of
the crowd to get chance at the grab bag
or rather grab box. This was presided over
by MIR. II. w. Baldwin, and brought sew
eral dollars into the general fund. To-
wards the chose Of the exercises Mr.. w.
H. Alden took the position Of auctioneer,
and began selling off the chickens, cakes,
&c, remaining undisposeu of. The utmos:
enJ -yment seemed to prevail and every
body present voted the festival a success
III every respect Much credit is due to
all who assisted in working up the affair,
and especially to Misses Emma Wagner,
Addie Cannon, Mary Council, and Blanche
Forker, who began the work and carried
itthough to success. The receipts from
were about 800 which will probably net
about $50 to $40. This sum well be a good
start towards procuring s. s. library,
and we trust the young folks and others
interested will keep working until the OBJ
Ject is accomplished.

Sex in Friendship.

One reason of the disbelief in frie ndship be.
tween the sexes is, that its consistence is mis-
conprehended. Friendship is ordinarily
thought to be the strongest attachment be-
tween men and women. II the feeling be OF
two geuders it is called love, because it has
been so called, which is supposed to be a
fiualitv. The regular mode of arriving at
truth is to give thing name, and stick
to it in the fare of retatation. Persistence,
with the multitude, has every advantage of
philosophy. Men love each other; 20 do
women; and men and women are the best
of friends. Thus it bias been from the first
and will be to the last. Sex is not delermin
ed altogether by physiology; temperament
more nearly settles it. Many men are mas
cune and feminine TO each other; many
women likewise. If love were possible be
tween the sexes alone they might be. and
often are, represented by tue same sex: so
that regarding love as the only natural affec-
ton OF mea for women, or of women Tor
men, it might be rechrstened friendship,
and the acceptance of the nostulate thus en-
forced. But style them what you may, and
Notwithstanding their inoistinction, love aud
friendship are very different, albeit not obedi-
ent to gender. Sex, as we know, enters into
material as well as animated nature, and is,
as we hold. independent of corporalty. In
friendship, not less than in love, sex has its
part. Whether two men or TWO women be
friends, one is masculine and the o.her fem
inine one to the other, as much as when
man and woman are friends. There frlen l.
ship between the sexes is more natural, be-
cause physically cnnformable. than between
members OF the same sex. Then the relation
is more clearly defined. better establis he |,

guises are not needed; assumptions are super
fuous; the harmonies are preserved; the
form answers to the spirit.

negative are combined-so subtly, often, as
to be barely susceptible, but acting fully and
