STRAWBERRY CULTURE,

COEDER, Mo-, August IS, 1885.
Has Every family all the fruit it
needs? II not, can a few dollars be
better expended than in buying or pro-
curing i'll some way such as is wanted?
Every individual likes fruit. 1t is one
of the greatest Injuries of the table
II should form Il part of every meal.
1t is raised at home. 1t does not have
to be bought, but comes from our own
production. All that is needed is the
disposition to plant, and you surely
will succeed. Strawberries are the
first fruit to ripening in the spring. Their
season of ripen is fully three weeks, and
all of the labor bestowed upon it is
richly paid for III the splendid fruit
they furnish. Think of ripe strawber-
ries in the field; strawberries, sugar
and cream strawberry-shOrt-ca oak, pies
and preserves, Strawberries canned to
be put Oh the table the entire year, and
then tell us whether all of the luxury
afforded is not worth a little labor,
To produce fine strawberries, and this
direction includes all kinds of small
fruits, and need not be again repeated,
the land should be nicely plowed and
narrowed as for corn or potatoes, a
little extra care in preparing is a great
deal better;a piece of ground should be
chosen with the vegetable garden and
fruit in one enclosure, having it large
enough for both. Plant the straw
berries in the rows twelve inches apart;
the rows should be long, three feet
apart. July and August is a good time
to set u Work the plants often;
keep them clean. When the leaves are
gone, cover the rows with half rotten
straw. Cover with straw i'm winter,
covering that with brush. Uncover
early in the spring. A FARMER.

OORDER.

Mr.. l.. Frazier and lady, from neal
Dover, are attending the Methodist
meeting.
Miss Emma Stapp, of Ray county
and Miss Darlington, of St. Louis, are
here visiting friends and relatives.
Corder school begins on the last day
of August, under the guidance oil
Misses Anna Reese and Lizzie Rine.
We are pleased to announce to the
public that the miners went to work
last Monday at their former wages.
The strike has been a great loss~both to
the laborer and proprietor, and, onse-
quently, to the business mel of Corder.
Everybody appears much more cheer
full.
The Methodist meeting still continues
under the conduct of Revs. Cobb and
King. There appears to be great inter.
est felt, both on the part of the mem
bership and sinners. We suppose there
was the largest assembIage Sunday
night that ever cOngregated i'm Corder.
Services, night and day, both well at.
tended by members of all churches.
Sunday schools, of which there are
three, Methodist, Presbyterian and
Baptist, are all in a prosperous condi-
ton. Corder and vicinity is filled by
a moral and church-going people Nc
people is more noted for a strict observ-
ance of the Sabbath, Notwithstanding
it is a railroad and mining town. w.

The following. from a trade journal, is so
true that we reproduce it ~here:-"After all
there is a good deal in talk. Let a mere liant
talk dull times, and it is infectious-everv-
body in the store gets the blues, and talks
dull times; and from hustling around to stir
up and take care of what business there is,
they all get to sitting down and mOping over
the dull times. If Il customer does happen to
drop into one of these dull times stores he
actually gets frightened out of buying one
half as much as he expected to, because
everybody looks so blue. He catches the
spirit of the place, and resolves to hang on to
all his money with a death grip, even If he
suffers on account of running short of goods
he needs. This bugbear of dull times ought
to be sat down upon. 1t is doing more to kill
business than anything else. Tell a well man
that he is sick. keep it up, and you can event.
ually hound him to death. Business is not all
we could desire, still we know of q good many
stores which shut down on crying dull
times long ago, and are making money to-
day." Don't talk hard times so much, A
great deal of it is imaginary, anyhow. Be
cheerful, and persons around you will be
cheerful, too.

The New York Herald thus excOr-
iates republican OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of the republican papers are warning
the people against the influence of the
south in our national politics. This is
sheer nonsense. That old antago-
nism is long lived. 1t is wrinkled with
g and as expressionless as idiocy.
The sooner it gets well under ground
the better. We do not fear the infu-
ence of the south half as much as we do
that of certain disappointed politicians
who had to take their hands out of the
treasury before they had stolen the last
dollar. And nearly all of those men
reside in the north"

NJ. Rochefort, in his article in the In
transigeant urging France to demand
from England reparation for the MUIR
der of Olivier. Pain, also says if the
government fails to obtain the desired
satisfaction, the friends ofthe dead man
should make Lord Lyons, the British
ambassador, an object for their revenge.
1t is a great pity that such incendiary
fools as this man Rochefort should ever
get control of newspapers. Their idea
of liberty is license, and their way of
securing justice is to commit crime.

A COMPLICATED ACCIDENT,

William Brown, of Bayonne, N. j.,
was the victim of a singular accident
on Wednesday afternoon. He was
driving with a load of coal when one
OF the wheels struck a stump, throw
ing him to the ground. The wheel
passed over his leg, breaking it, and
the cart was in some way tilted so that
half the ton of coal was spilled over
him as he lay on the ground. Some
workmen dug him out and took him

A NEW FORM OF CHOLERA.

MARsEILLEs, Aug 23.-The cholera
is assuming a form with which the
doctors are unable to cope. The vic
Tins die suddenly without the occur
renee of diarrhea or vomiting. The
patient feels a GOODNESS which cannot
be counteracted by the use of reactives
or even by the most violent friction.
Two hours after death the body be-
comes black. Although the epidemic
is not contagious it is feared that loo
deaths a day will soon be recorded.

The effect of the high license system
in Wisconsin has been to reduce the
number of liquor shops and to increase
immensely the evenue derived from
them. Yet the maximum cost of a
license in Wisconsin is only 5000, while
previous to the introduction of the sys-
tenn it was $75. High license is the
only rational and effective way of reg
ulating the liquor traffic,
