The band is playing in the hotel bail

ON the long piazza in the moonlight, and

Roads and Bridges

Dear Sir: Under the head of a
Good Suggestion" about our county
roads, the keynote is struck, and the
writer of this would like it to be kept
sounding until heard by every ear in
the county. Some of the suggestions
offered are very good. Would like to
see something in your valuable paper
every week on the subject of our roads
until everybody becomes interested in
the matter of having good roads.
Would like to get the views of the
leading men from all parts of the coun-
ty. 1t is only by an interchange of

ing good roads at the least expense and
inconvenience to the people. | will.
therefore; offer a few. In the outset, I
would not favor building bridges until
the roads are made. Not one. Nearly
always when bridges are in demand in
this county the roads are impossible
for wagon. and if we had bridges the
teams would cut the roads much more
than they do now, Always when the
streams are high the earth is saturated
with water and the roads very muddy.
So the complaint is very little about
bridges, but about roads. Then take
the money that bridges would cost and
expend it on the roads, and you would
hear but little complaint about our
roads. So let us have the roads first,
and to make theml would suggest to
the County Court that tax Of Is
cents or more on the 500 be levied, in
addition to what is usually levied for
rood purposes, and let that amount be
expended on all the general roads, be
ginning at the corporation line and
work all of them equal distance from
town, Or divide the funds equally be,
tween the FIVE or six roads leaving
town. Now, Mr.. Editor, some fellow

Intensive Farming Successive
Crops.

1t will be noticed that those who
practice intensive farming most sue.
cessfully, often follow one crop by ans
other that will mature the same season
or, at least, within a short period.
Cotton or corn is followed Immediately
by small grain, and the small grain in
turn by cotton, peas, potatoes, etc. The
land is kept busy, and the same prin,
ciple is involved as that which governs
the merchant who deals in a variety of
goods, lay in frequent stocks and sell
only for cash or very short credits,
The system is Numerically opposed
to the theory and practice of resting
the land. Indeed we are inclined to
lay that resting was never the correct
term to apply to that stage of rotation
in which the crop was planted, cult
waited or harvested for one full season.

New Tanning Bark.

The tannekaya bark, which comes
from New Zealand, and is a new agent
in tanning, is one of the novelties Of
commerce. This discovery is very
recent. In 1873 the whole export from
New Zealand WAS fifteen tons, but last
year it was 375 tons. The greater part
of the export is taken to Grenoble,
France, where it is used in dressing
leather for gloves. The price of this
bark in its native country is $40 per
ton, and the freight is as much more.
Hence it has been proposed to make
the tree one of our own products, since
the bark has at times been. worth $3.50
per ton. It contains 1896 per cent. of
tannin, whereas oak bark contains only
S.S5 and hemlock 9.5.. The tannekaya
tree is very beautiful, and, as its timber
is very useful, it has every point of
value. Being of the fr species, it is
we'll adapted to the light soil of the
South, and might do much to enrich
that part of the Union. .

panes and pillow shams. Number one
MANILA paper is used, two large sheets
being held together by small Irvine at
intervals of three or four inches, gumrned
so as to stick the sheets together where
the Irvine lies. The Irvine strengthens
the paper. The margin of the counter.
pane has hem, in which is more OF

Beautiful designs are printed on the up

they can be made smooth by hot fat
irons. They retail at rs cents a set.
The counterpart can be left on the bed
