We have nothing very interesting
to write you at this time. Dry wealth

Of conversation.
Crops are not as good as the people
expected they would be some time

not been thoroughly wet since the

Hog cholera has somewhat abated,
therefore we have a fair prOspectS for

The men have been working the
roads, the women have been drying
fruit, and the children have been 60
ing to school. Some of our schools
have suspended to take fodder. The
writer is teaching at the Cove School
House, and has large school. The
citizens are digging well at the
above named place; they dug about
80 feet, but they did not think the
stream of water they struck sufficient
and they are going deeper.
The work on the Duncan school
house will begin shortly and it will
be neat structure when completed,
and speaks well for the people Of that
vicinity.
Miss Sue Ella Martin is teaching at
the Rock River school house, Miss
Irene Gribble at Friendship, Mr.. Cal

Mr.. John Davis at Verona, Crockett
Balm at the Nunnelly school house,
and Miss lizzie Cardwell atlthe Brick
school house. The schools have been
tolerably well attended, butthe schol-
airs in some schools, we regret to say,
have caused some trouble.
The protracted meeting at Friend
ship lasted several days, and there is
now one in progress at the Nunnelly

dience present on last Sabbath at the

conducted by Elder j. X. p. Whit.

this place, | have concluded to give
you a few items which will probably
be of some interest to some of your
many readers.
There has been no rain in this sec
ton for several weeks.
The corn crop will fall short of
what was anticipated some weeks
ago.
Owing to the very low price being
offered for dried apples but few are
being dried, most Of them are being
hauled and sold to the distillers.
There is an abundantcrOp Of peach
es, but they are very small-most Of

The main topic Of conversation now
is, the show that is coming to Nc
Minnville. No difference how hard
times are, people always get money
to go to the show
William Bailey and family, Of
Stone River, came up Monday, and
are spending a few days with rela-

Smith Oliver has been employed

A Little Dogs Dinner.

''My table is set. Please give me my
dinner.' This is what the little dog
means. though his way of saying it is
"Bow-wow-wow!'
His mistress feeds him in the dining
room. But she is careful of her carpet;
so she keeps large napkin, or towel,
to spread over it. There is a bowl, too,
that is the little dogs especial property.
His dinner is always put into it. and the
bowl and napkin are kept in cup
board that he can reach
He has watched his mistress when she
spread the cloth, and set the bowl on it,
till he has learned to do it himself.
At dinner-time, when he hears the
plates and goblets jingling in the china
closet. he goes to his cupboard, and
opens the door with his paw. He takes
his table cloth in his mouth, shakes it
ont, and spreads it on the carpet, with
his mouth and paws. He brings the
bowl, and sets it down in the middle of
the cloth. Then he barks, to say that
his table is ready.
But he does not keep barking, as if
he meant to tease for his dinner. He
sits down by the bowl, and waits quiet
ly and patiently till it is given to him.
He eats it pretty fast, and the family
say he wipes his mouth on his napkin.
Of course he does, for he noses all
around the bowl, to pick up any stray
bits that may have fallen over outside.
Then he scampers off. He never waits
to fold his table-cloth and wash his dish,
but leaves that for somebody else to do.

from the long leg or shin-bone OF the

these bones are placed on the floor OF

DEFEATED BY WOMEN.

The Detroit Man Who Had His Life
Crushed Out of Him.
They will never forgive him-no, new
er. There were ten men on one side of
the car, and only five women on the
other, but each woman occupied as good
as two seats, and was determined not to
Glitch along for even a cyclone.
Pretty soon the car stopped for another
woman. As she entered the door she
stood for moment to see where she
should sit down. One of the men rose
up, pointed his finger, and called out in
a hearty voice:
PLENTY of room on the other side.
madam
She sat down between two of the
women, and this caused the whole row
to move. They didn't stab her with a
poisoned hair-pfn, nor did they each sit
and gaze at her hat and decide that she
had trimmed up an old frame with
twelve shillings' worth of new material.
On the contrary, the vengeful five
fastened their eyes upon the bold out
law. They expressed indignation, con-
tempt, disgust and revenge in their
looks. They saw the dandruff on his
coat-collar. They saw the hole in his
left boot. They noticed the strawberry
stain on his shirt-bosom. They detect
ed the fact that he had changed his cuffs
end for end. All this, and then they
looked him dead in the eyes and con-
victed him of bigamy, burglary, horse
stealing and robbing blind man. He
bore up for three squares, but then he
gave sort of SILVER, made a bolt for
the front door and was over the chain
and on the sidewalk before any one of
the five could draw revolver. Detroit

RHUBARB.
How 1t Is Cultivated and PropaEated-
Some Valuable Hints.

How 1t Is Cultivated and PropaEated-
Some Valuable Hints.
Rhubarb is the first s.fruit'' of the
season. Its pleasant and healthful acid
makes it very desirable in the early
spring. and the long abstinence from
fresh fruit and vegetables during the
winter adds greatly to the value of this
easily grown plant. The farm garden
which is without bed of rhubarb
misses one of its chief attractions. 1t
is easily grown, and when once planted
will last life time without any further
care than an annual dressing of ma
nure. AS the cost of few roots-a
dozen will be ample for large family
is but a trifie, the farmer who ne
elects to provide the family with sup
ply of this vegetable makes an I'M
pardonable mistake. While there are
several varieties of this plant, there is
really but one kind, the difference be-
tween the varieties being very slight
and hardly noticeable. The seeds
men offer three named yarieties-Vic-
toria, Linneus, and Myers Colossal;
but with good culture these are all
colossal and equally succulent and
well favored. The roots may be
planted in the spring Or the fall, and
small piece of the root will soon
make a large plant.
Rhubarb will grow in any soil;
light loan is perhaps the best soil, but
when we'll MANFRED the lightest soil
will produce as good stalks as any
other. 1t requires abundant manur-
ing, and can be forced to very early
growth with the greatest ease. The
roots should be planted four feet
apart each way. The ground is pre-
pared by deep spading and digging in
a liberal quantity of good cow manure.
The roots are covered about two in
ches with soil, and the removal of
weeds is all the cultivation or atten-
ton that is required afterward
for several years. After the roots
have grown a few years they may
be divided by pushing sharp spade
down through them and transplant
ing the separated halves to other
beds. In the fall the plants should be
covered with coarse manure. which is
raked off in the spring and left around
the crowns as a mulch. To force an
early growth, frame with glass sash
is procured and set over plant. A
quantity of fresh horse manure is
placed around. but not over, the crown,
and the frame is filled up with straw.
The glass is put on and fresh manure
is heaped around the frame. If the
plants are covered with straw and
earth in the fall, so that there is no
frost in the ground. the stalks will
start very early in the spring. A sup
ply for winter use may be secured by
dividing a large old root and packing
half of it in soil in box and moving il
into warm cellar. The young tender
stalks will shoot abundantly through
the winter. and furnish very accepta-
bic supply through the winter
months. The roots, however, are ex-
hausted by this forcing, and may be
thrown away When the flower stalks
appear they should always be cut Oft,
as these exhaust the plants.--N. Y
