wearisome labor. Five cents worth of
this powder per week will save
deal of work, and make whittier clothes
than have hung on your lines for the
last year. Try this powder. and if it
proves worthless we will patiently SUBJ

KILL THE PoTATo-BUGs.-Tbere are
many patches of potatoes in this vicinity
that are covered with bugs and slugs,
and unless some heroic treatment is re-
sorted to, another year will find prog
eny of these creatures large enough to
make potato raising extremely difficult
Following what we considered the best
manner of "doctoring" them, as obtained
from numerous exchanges, we bought
so cents worth of Paris green, and put
it with a common pail full of damaged
-four; this was sprinkled upon the vines
when they were wet, and though it was
but imperfectly done more than three
week since, it has been quite difficult to
find bug since that time. We shall
put on little more green bye and bye,
and expect to have half an acre of po-
tato land that will be free from these
pests until a new colony comes upon
it from neighboring fields. Don't be
alarmed about the danger of using this
poison. The almost unanimous testimo-
ny of those who have used it, goes to
prove that ordinary care in its use will
prevent any injury resulting therefrom.
Kill off the creatures before they get SO
numerous as to make their determination
impossible.
BARTON LANDING.
E. w. Culver occupied the desk al
the M. E. church yesterday. His many
friends were glad to sec his face again.
The Liberals organized Sunday
school at School House Hall last Sun,

ganization is contemplated.
A patriotic citizen of neighborine
town sold re-crackers to the boys il
this vicinity on the Fourth at the ratt
of six for FIVE cents. How could he liv,
at such prices?
The business at the steam-mill nea
the depot, has ended for the present

The Reform Club survives the bus
summer season and is in excellent work
a ing order. DR.. J. F. wright gives
reading Tuesday (to-morrow) nigh
o which with recltations, songs and dia
e logues, will occupy the evening. TIL
lecture given by Miss Shaw last wee
was excellent.
3 Neighbor Jamason seems exercise
about the corn, peas, and boy, owned b
Geo. Bush, and undertakes too CRITICS
the MONITORS account of the sam,
Now little sparring between editors
pleasant, but when one only shows b
ignorance os the rules of punctuation b
his attempt to crlticise the other, it is
losing job. If neighbor Jamason ha
e been fully "tasseled out" on his punctl
# alton, he would not have been misle
about the boy or the corn.
