MAKING GARDEN-Tlie season is
at hand and in preparing TO make
garden see to. having everything
ready for use when wanted. All
seed which has 70 be bought should
be ordered now. If any have. been
saved they should be cleaned ready
for use. All old seeds especially
those Of parsnipse carrot onions and
sncha as can not be relied upon after
the first year, may beburned. Have
every parcel labeled with the date
and year on the bags. Never trust
to memory with seeds; whenir doubt
get fresh ones. Novelties are offered
every year, these generally come
with the claim that they are superb
orsto the old standard sorts, but nine
out of ten Of them are not heard of
after the first season. Pure seeds Of
can be found at VIM.

County Superintendents are elect,
ed this year, fl issabont time for
candidates to abpearswith their am
Inducements. Whilethis aaicewas
not entirely abolished, the salaries
have been so reduced in some coun-
ties of the State that it will have the
practical effect of causing many com
petent men to refuse to accept the
office. In counties where there are
30 schools or less, the salary is placed
at seventy five dollars; in counties
having over so and not more than rs
schools the salary is one hundred dol
lars; and in counties having more
than 70 schools the salary is one
hundred and twenty-five dollars
These are, in our opinion, inadequate
figures, and will have a tendency in
many instances, to place our schools
under the control Of men who are no
wise suited to the management of
educational interests.
The Rector Of Christ Chuch Point
Pleasant in behalf of the Congrega-

kind friends who again so generous

so substantial a contribution TO the
work Of completing the tower of our

contribution on the same day makes
the sum Of s33.02. We have now in
hand in cash for the tower sl76.42

to the samepurpose. All which how
ever is not quite enough.
