The experience of trustworthy
farmers appears to prove that posts
set top down last longer than those
set butt end down, and that small
posts, say three or four inches 10
diameter, outlast larger ones. All
posts should be well seasoned before
setting. An application Of coal tar
good for wood beneath the ground,
and crude petroleum above the
ground. Petroleum penetrates the
pores of the wood freely an excel>
lent preparation for posts. therefore,
as regards durability, is to soak
them with petroleum and then hold
it on that portion to be covered by

political parties. We learn from these
that Gen. Grant is the expressed
choice of 100 districts, Blaine Of 10,

among Conkling and other lesser

Last Saturday night the Band
OF Hope gave a concert at tie
NJ. Z. Church; by 7 o'clock the
house was nearly full and at
7:3o DIR. Luther marched in his
band of young ladies, complete
ly filing the house, the audience
numbering about $50. The
house was called to order by
superintendent Cla.ance Muse,
who delivered a short address.
Mr.. Eugene Muse made a
speech, several essays were
read, one Miss Emma Culbert-
son deserving special mention;
she held the attention of the
audience for about twenty min
utes. Two little addresses were
delivered by little Misses En-
ma Williams, and Ada Clark,
Of Houston. The meeting was
very interesting and entertain-
ing. The Band of Hope stands
second to no organization save
the Christian church.
After the meeting some par
ties who, perhaps did not be-
long to Band, carried four bug
gies to the top of the unfnish-
ed college building and there
tied them hard and fast and they
now stand there as a monument
to the college.
Mr.. Alonzo Cooper informs
me that he has a real live fox
penned at his house and will
have a fox chase on Christmas
day. Everybody who has a
pack OF hounds is invited. Cur
dogs are ruled out.
The only waste house in
town, an old stone building, is
being repaired and put in tena-
BILE condition. There is now
but one empty house in town.
Christmas is here and can be
seen in every house and every
window. S. N. ].
