opening The phosphorus on the match |

GATHERING HERES Herbs for winter
use should be gathered when the plants
are in llowcr: just as the flowers begin to
fade is considered to be the best time to
harvest them. The herb garden was for

than it is in these days of patent medicines,
but whether this change is an advantage
to health may well be questioned. To dry
herbs it is best to tie them in small bundles

"Spain," says the New York TineS,"is
by no means nation to be bespised Her

Rev. A. B. Enright is doing much
needed work at Proctorsville. The min
listers for last year reported that $1,000
had been raised for church improve
ments. Though nearly this sum was rails ed
at one time last year the subscription paper
was destroyed and, ut the oponing of the
conference year things presented very
discUuragjng aspect. Bro. Enright has
succeeded in raising the sum Of $l,7O0 for
church repairs and expects to make the
sum up to $1,000. The church will be
entirely remodclled. with a new roof aud
4 corner tower, and everything in modern
style. In this work the people are united
aud self sacrificing and are heartily sup
porting the efficient labor Of their devoted
pastor. The congregation have been
increasing and developing new interest.
