Plant shade Treea.

A writer in one of our agricultural ex-
changes says The Importance Of shade
trees should under no circumstances be
overlooked by the farmer, and where there
is vacant spot, where these gifts of ma.
ture can be given location, it should be
done. Now is the time to prepare for
spring planting and this should be accom-
plished as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and before the buds of the spring
trees to be transplanted begin to swell.
They can be used for both utility and orna-
ment around farm dwellings, and they may
be planted near the borders of cattle yards,
thus atfording the luxury Of shade for
domestic animals In very warm weather.
In pastures trees can be set out in groups
for the like purpose, especially when the
fields are to remain permanently in grass.
The cost is so unimportant that there is no
excuse for its omission by any farmer.
The prettiest country home is the one that
is almost hidden from view by foliage.

the ceremony. A few Of the especial friends
OF the family were present. Numerous
presents from the friends OF the parties
added to the interest Of the occasion. The
reverend gentleman, who is to be highly
congratulated on his good fortune, is a
Me hodlst pastor In Pennsylvania, and
successful man in the ministry. He won
the good will and wishes of those present
at the wedding by his gentlemanly and cul-
tured bearing. We are sorry to lose Miss
Edgett from our place, and Park church

family will greatly miss her, but we con.
gratulate her upon her choice and the wide
Held of usefulness open to her. An elegant
repast was served and the happy couple
left on the noon train for their new home.
Our good wishes follow them.

We called upon our bachelor friend,
Clark Roat, the other afternoon and found
him as pleasant and contcnted as ever.
He speaks very highly of potatoes and on
ions In the cultivation of which he is large
ly engaged. He also delights in keeping
his well furnished rooms neat and clean.
We were surprised to find how comfort
able and happy Clark lived. Having his
floors well carpeted, his walls lately paper
ed and adorned with beautiful and costly
pictures, his furniture made of the best
material and latest style. 1t is his desire
that his many friends should call frequent
ly to see him during the summer season, =,
especially those belonging to the gentle
sex. From his talk, we infer that the sen.
timent OF his heart runs parallel with that
of the poetess, where she says
"Come in the evening, or come in the
morning,
Come when you are looked for, or come
without warning
Kisses and welcome are here before you
And the more you come here, the more
I'll adore you"

Reduction I'm Price.

In the publication business, such as the
COLUMBIAN has been engaged in, it is not
advisable nor profitable to have much stock
on hand, of any kind whatever "Prompt
sales and quick returns" is sound bust.
ness motto We find ourselves with u con-
siderable portion of our edition of the
History of Columbia County," still un-
sold, and in agreement with the idea above
expressed, desire to put them upon the
market at such price as will be satisfactory
to all parties. The book has heretofore
been sold at u less price, comparatively,
than most local histories but our agents
have usually reported to us that the price
was IN the way of extensive sales, although
the book was in good demand, and could
be readily sold at some reduction.
The commission allowed by us to our
agents reduced the book to us, to as low a
price as we could afford to sell it. In or
der therefore, that those who want the
book may now procure 1t at such rate as
they have expressed readiness to buy it,
and thus the buyer have the advantage of
what we have heretofore paid to agents,
the price of the book will hereafter be, as
follows:
Bound in cloth at our store (old price $3.50 s175
" Sful leather $3.50 $3.50
and il sent by mail, post paid, twenty-five
cents additional for postage.
This Is undoubtedly the cheapest hook
that has ever been offered in this county,
and there is every reason to our friends
and subscribers that the book should be
extensively bought and circulated. 1t is
and will be an authority on the subjects
about which it treats AS the names and
dates and transactions therein recorded
fade away from living memory, and the
newspapers of the time are lost and de.
stroyed, in the History will remain liv-
ing and contemporary report of many facts
which greatly concerns many of you to
know, and to know for certain. Net only
to know but to have in the shape of a prin-
ted volume.

About Road Tax.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
rendered several decisions of general inter-
est in the matter of road tax. The right OF
farmers to work out their road tax has
been generally conceded, but supervisors
in few townships insist that the tax must
be paid in mouey. A test case has been
decided in favor of taxpayers, and their
right to work out their tax distinctly and
finally affirmed In other cases collectors
OF the road tax have claimed commission
should be collected on the part worked out
as well AS that paid into the townshi p
treasury. The Supreme Court decided that
all claims for such commissions should be
rejected, the working out of tax impos-
ing no labor upon the collector or treasur.
er, but on the supervisor, who is paid for
his services.

The school term will soon be drawing to
close, and teachers are looking forward
10 the time when they will be released from
their duties. We do not wonder at this.
Hardly any profession causes more wear

OF teaching school and no one who has not
tried 1t can comprehend it to Its full ex.
tent II is needless to say how eagerly the
boys and girls look forward to release
from their daily tasks, and the enjoyment
OF unlimited freedom. They do not seem
to think now, what they are sure to learn
in the future that these are the happiest
days Of their lives
