Warren.-The union school, held last
Friday, was a decided success in point of
attendance and the carrying out of the pro-
gramme. The children brought their din
ners, and in the evening representatives
from the different schools gave recitations,
which were interspersed with singing. In
the spelling matches, the first prize for the
primer class, a nice book, was given the win
ner, Miss Della Brown of district No. 2. The
second prize, to those under twelve years of
age, was won by Miss May Harmon of dis
trict No. /. The third prize, another book,
was won by Miss Tina Banister of district
No. 3. A large audience was in attendance,
both during the day and in the evening.
- There has been quite stir lately
among the people of East Warren in regard
ent incumbent is Mr.. Nahum Nichols and
the person grasping for the coveted prize is
Mr.. Joseph Drew. In explanation, it suf-
fees to say that Mr.. Drew is a democrat
and he presents this as his one qualitica-
ton. His hopes are daily vanishing and he
doubtedly in the future call upon Mr.
Nichols when wishing to transact postal
business through Uncle Sans agency, the
postotfice. II. w. Lyford, an enter
prising mechanic of this place and owner of

he reports as doing well. - Hazen Ly-

statesman as possible, offered to ac-
company him through the state-house.
The young lady seemed to be relative
of Webster, and was very bright and
piquant in her conversation. There
was a constant fire Of clever repartee
between the two, and when the party
reached the senate chamber the young
lady, turning to him, exclaimed. Now
everybody says you are a great man
and can make a speech without any
preparation. l want you to prove it,
AS she said this she moved to the
rostrum and took possession of the
presidents chair. The house will
please come to order. The gentleman

Webster, said Colonel Munford, relat-
ing the incident, took, as if by in
stinct, the most favorable position in
the room, so that his voice could best
be heard, and for ten or fifteen minutes
he spoke with an eloquence that have
never heard equalled. He referred to
Virginia's past, and, abiding especially
to her distinguished sons, he pointed
out their portraits that hung on the
walls, and described their traits in the
most beautiful language Imaginable
Colonel Munford frequently told his
friends that it was the best speech he
ever listened to-"
GALVESTON News: Office-hunting
is no part of the duty of senators and
representatives., and the time they de-
vote to office-hunting is taken from
time that belongs to the people. The
senators and representatives are not
serving the people when they are beg
ging or demanding offices for their
friends. 1t will not do to tell the peo-
pie that they are working in the inter-
est of the public service, or at the re-
quest of any great portion of their
constituents, when they are drumming
up offices for waiting patriots. The
people can no longer be soothed with
that sweet delusion. Senators and
representatives are working in their
own interest when they seek to put
certain men in office, who, however fit
or popular, are no more fit or popular
than others. This may sound like
brutal way of putting it, but it is the
exact truth. Senators expect that
every man they help to place in office
will be retainer of theirs in the future.
Does any one doubt, for instance, that
every office-seeker in Texas whom
Senator Maxey had recommended to
the president will not be expected to
work for Senator MaXey's reelection
by the twentieth legislature? This is
the custom. 1t is nothing new. 1t is
in the line of time-honored usage.
They all do it, and they will all con-
tinue to do it until healthy public
sentiment compels senators and repre-
sentatives to attend strictly to their
proper business and permit the presi-
dent and his immediate subordinates
to conduct the executive department
unhampered and untrammeled and
without confusion or dissipation of re-
sponsibility. The people can do this if
they desire There is no man-presi-
dent, senator or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
than the people, and it would be a
healthy sign of the times if the people
took it into their heads to do little
political regulation"

The Mormons do not seem to be the
gamers by the change in the admins
tration. Judge Powers, the new dem
ocratic judge for Utah, has just given
two Mormon officials, convicted of hav-
ing more than the lawful number of
wives, the full penalty of the law in
fines and Imprisonment. The national
ensign, perhaps, will now be displayed
at Salt Lake, not only at half mast, but
with the union down.

Poetry.
Under a Crazy Quilt.

he slept. and dreamt that the kangaroo
- Had gifen fancy ball;
ne elephant came with the festive gnu,
he mouse with the ostrich tall.
A funny giraffe, that did nothing but laugh.
Dropped in with centipede;
And cricket and ilea. that had lust been to
tea.
Waited round with remarkable speed
A wasp and humble bee had chat
Just over his little nose;
And boa constructor. upon the mat
Dressed up in his Sunday Clothes
a crow and a raccoon, in a fire balloon,
Paused over his bed to sing:
And neat armadilo crept up on his pillow
To dance the highland fling.
Then all, ere they left, made a graceful bow,
And out in the moonlight sped;
Except a ponderous brindle COW,
hich stopped to stand on its head.
The little boy woke. and grinned at the
joke:
sprang out of his bed with Tilt;
Il can dream it all over,'' said he, ''whle they
cover
Me up with this crazy quilt"

one demands it for half price because it was
grown by woman.
Fine fruit sells on its own merits, and
while it has no fixed value like wheat,
good article is always in demand at q pay
ing price. No advertising is needed to sell
1t, and no money is spent building up a
trade. 1t can be grown in any part of the
country and there is market for il wherev-
er people live. The demand for fruit is not
based simply upon its being delicious and
attractive, 1t is real need. The human
system has natural appetite for the CON-
bination OF acids and sugar that is found in
berries.
When We think of the thousands and
millions Of people who live in the cities and
raise nothing, We partially realize the extent
of the demand for fruit, and the conclusion
is. that for long time TO come the demand
will exceed the supply. True the market %
sometimes overstocked fer DAY or two,
but in such case, the producer can dry or
can the surplus. The market for dried fruit
is never oyerstocked.
Small fruit growers have another adyau-
tsge in the fact that their products come in
10 the market in the summer, when the peo-
pie have money, and are liberal in spending
it, rather than in the winter, when many are
idle, and ~hen those who have emplo, ment
ind that the necessaiies of life make such
heavy demands upon their earnings that
they have little left for luxuries
The advantage Of being ones own en-
ployer is worth much. No one can fully
appreciate this until he has been subject to
the call Of bell or whistle. There is not
single qualification needed for tie bust
ness Of growing small fruits that woman does
not possess. Indeed, a much larger pro-
portion of women than of men are suited to
the work. Farmers in general. will let
their families go without fruit rather than
TO raise ii, but farmers wives are interested
in horticulture. They raise the flowers, ard
often The vegetables. They attend TO de-
tails. They are in sympathy with their pets,
and learn their habits much sooner than
men do. As rule, they are not so ready
10 neglect their work as men are. Added
10 is,they have ''knack" which gives them
success. \ skillful gardener once SAID that
woman with cracked teapot could root
cuttings that an experienced, propagation,
with all his modern appliances, would fail
with. II is not hard work. nor the ability
10 do hard work, that makes fruit growing
successful; II is the heart work, the real
interest, the carefulne.s. and good judgment
that are put into the enterprise.
Lack of knowledge is no obstacle. for
this can be acquired easily and quickly.
There are no secrets in fruit growing. Those
engaged in ii are always ready 10 commuu-
cate their know ledge, and every horticultural
society is engaged in disseminating ntorma-
ton.

FENCES. Fences have been termed a relic
OF barbarism. At any rate it is well to consider
that whatever tends TO lessen the use Of
these, effects great saving, greater than
most persons are aware Of. Careful
statistics based upon census returns. place
the cost of the fences Of the United States
al upwards of one and one-third billions
of dollars. and their annual mainte-
nance at two hundred and fifty millions
By adopting the soiling system Of feeding
cattle, and keeping all these off the high
ways, one-half of the fences, or more, could
be dispensed with.
