Onions for Winter Use

There are many ways of keeping good,
sound, ripe, dry onions: The great point
ia to keep them dry. You must remem-
Der that even a ripe, dry onion contains
at least 80 per cent. Of water, and when
a large mass of them are kept together
they are liable to sweat and the skins and
tops become damp, and, If the tempera-
ture is above freezing, they will throw
out roots and begin to grow. Joseph
Harris, in The American Agriculturist,
says: "If necessary to keep onions in q
large mass put them in dry pla e, such
as shed or barn" In many localities
they will freeze solid and stay frozen till
the spring, in which case they must be
well covered to keep them from thawing
In smaller quantities onions can be
placed in slat boxes, holding about a
bushel each. The lower boxes should be
placed ON boards and not on the cellar
floor. Pile the boxes one above the other
in such way as to "break joints" and
admit of circulation of air all round
and through the boxes.

CARVING A TURKEY.

A skillful carver places the fork in the
bird and does not remove it until the
whole is divided. The turkey having been
relieved of strings and skewers used in
trusting, should be placed on the table
with the head or neck at the carver's left
hand
First insert the fork firmly as indicated
in the figure, then remove the whole leg
and thigh by cut shown at q; next re-
move the wing by cut, as at b, letting
these parts lie on the platter. Then cut
downward as many slices from the breast,
the white meat, as may be desired (as
shown in the lines at c); then make an
opening into the cavity of the bird, hid
den in the figure here given, by the leg,
for dipping out the inside dressing. Next
separate the leg from the thigh or second
joint. The side bone is removed by cut
ting down from above as shown at DID,
The wing gives one good cut, that nearest
the body. If one side Of the turkey Is
not sufficient, the other may be carved in
the same manner as described.

just figuring where our next shirts
were to come from, when in STEP

splendid shirts and handed US one.
He SAID it was a present. Now, if
the DR.. thinks it is better to give

DIR. will be entirely successful in
his new work, as on inspection of
his shirts we believe we tell the

never found as well made shirts as
this establishment is making. We
hope everybody will patronize him.

Our Own Concert.

OuS OWU NOUOOVes
After considerable advertising
about fifty persons assembled in
the Court House on last Thursday
night to listen to a concert, given
partly by and exclusively for our
home band. This is a fact and we
are not joking. Fully fifty were
present! How many Of our citizens
were present? How many of our
citizens went to Knoxville the
night before to witness the DEVILS
Auction and spent five times as
much as the price ofadmission to
our own concert? How many of
our citizens have been heard to say
on certain "big occasions" that ut
is pity that Maryville can't afford
a band" On said occasions, when
q band is introduced from abroad,
how many of our citizens have un-
loosed the latchet string of their
purse and turned loose the shining
quarter or half to recompense i'm.
ported music? How many of our
citizens should feel, ashamed of
themselves for not putting in an ap.
pearance? Our band boys have
struggled against odds and ends
for a number of years, and now,
when exerting every feasible effort
to raise themselves in a musical
way, to be thus everlastingly sat
upon is sufficient to raise the ire of
a.?
The band is now organized and is
in the form of a quartette.
They have been under the leader
ship of Mr.. w. H. st. Clair for sew
eral days. They are making great
advancements, and are determined
to excel any organization ever ef-
fected in Maryville.
The concert was very good. The
st. Clair troupe made their second
entire before a Maryville audience.
A number of new features were adj
ded to their part of the program
and, in our opinion, excelled great
ly their previous effort. There was
noticeable more composure on the
part of the performers and more
harmony in the music. The pretty
little ballad, "Soft and Low" was
one of the best productions.

Amateurs read in one agricultural Jour
nal how cabbages are stored, heads down
with great success; in another journal
they read how cabbags are stored, roots
down, with equal success. This apparent
contradiction is puzzling to beginners but
old cultivators understand what makes
the two modes perfectly practicable.
Placing cabbage compactly in u trench,
with the heads down, applies only to those
fully headed The main object in invert-
ing them being to turn of the water. But
there are immature cabbagss to be stored.
Cabbages that require further heading
and sometimes more growth. These are
properly placed in trenches, roots down,
80 as to keep them alive.

be = few years until the whole tree
will be valuable for wagon timber.
Ifyou are not compelled to sell, keep
your hickory and you will make at
least 30 per cent year by doing
so. Men run into the country and
by your timber almost for nothing,
whereas If you were all to refuse
to sell, the price would 60 up to

Do not be in a hurry to sell your
valuable timber; it is a gold mine

Msxi,ns for Grape Growers.

1. Give the vine plenty Of manure, old
and well decomposed, for fresh manure
excites growth but does not mature It,
2. Remember that luxuriant growth does
not always insure fruit. 8. Dig deep but
plant shallow. a. Young vines produce
beautiful fruit, but old vines yield the
richest. 8. Plant your vines before put
ting up trellises 6. Prune in autumn
to insure growth, but in spring to promote
fruitfulness. I. Vines love the sun; the
fruit, the shade. 8. A bunch Of grapes

by calling attention to new and desirable
varieties. There are three classes of chrys.

ragged fringe like flowers. From these
have resulted numerous hybrids. A

REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS.
The Desirability Of the Denison House as
Stopping Place for Delegates to
the State Convention.

An erroneous impression exists as to the loca-
ton of the Republican headquarters for the
coming State convention and the campaign
which Immediately follows. For some months
past the Denison House has been the recognized
headquarters for all candidates, delegates to the
convention or others seeking political prefer
ment or information as to the status of affairs
throughout the State. The chairman of the
State central committee Hon. ]. N. Huston, end
secretary. Hon. L. t. Kitchener, with their as
sistants have for months past occupied rooms on
the first floor, which have been especially set
apart for their use. Requests for reserves of
parlors and suites Of rooms are daily being re-
ceived from candidates and delegates and others
interested as friends assistants The central
location Of the Denison and the close proximity
to Tomlinson Hall, where the convention will
meet, make it especially desirable. Among
those who have already engaged rooms are the
Hon. W. T. Noble, of Wayne county, candidate
for Clerk of the Supreme Court; Professors
j. NJ Olcott and j. p. Mather, candidates for
Superintende of Public instruction; Hon.
Fritz TIL Stritter, of Posey county, candidate
for Secretary of State Hon. A. G. Daily, of La
fayette, candidate for Auditor of State, and
many others.
The principal preliminaries and other neces
sary work before meeting of convention will be
arranged here, and those who desire to be ''near
to the throne" and reap the benefit of intimate
association, will be found at this popular house.

Mr.. "A. M. Atkinson, president of the assembly.
TO say that much of the success of this years
meeting is due to his treless energy, his inteli-
gent Judgment and his uniform courtesy and
hospitality to visitors and the action of the board
of directors in re-electing him to the position is
a just recognition Of his worth as an officer and
a gentleman. The financial results of the enter
prise are of a very encouraging character, and
extensive improvements on the assembly grounds
are contemplated. Probably the most notable
feature Of Bethany Assembly is the superior
class of people outside the church who patronize
its meetings During the three weeks these
meetings have been in progress there has not
been disturbance of any kind. the strlctest

visitors, redounding to the credit of themselves

BETHANY PARK ASSEMBLY.

Close of Its Most Successful Series of Meet
ings-Oficers Elected.
Yesterday was the closing day of the Bethany
Park Assembly, and in spite of the unproptious
weather, which included a forenoon of intense
heat and an afternoon of wind and rain, it was a
fit conclusion of harmonious and successful
series of meetings of three weeks duration.
During the forenoon the blazing sun seemed to
have concentrated its warmest rays on the lit
tie park, and the atmosphere was exceedingly
close and uncomfortable. This torrid element
did not deter the multitudes, however, and when
the noon hour rolled around, four thousand peo-
pie were assembled on the mp-ground At
the morning service the tabernacle was
the eloquent and timely sermon delivered
by J. l.. Parsons, of Rushville. The attendance
was so large that it was found necessary to hold
an overflow meeting. the latter being addressed
by w. B. F. Treat of Martinsville At
o'clock in the afternoon, Isaac Errett,
editor of the Christian Standard, of
Cincinnati, preached a powerful sermon
TO another large audience at the tabernacle, con-
Guiding with sacramental services. The pro-
gramme, which concluded the day and the
nual meeting, included praise and song service
at night, and q sermon by j. w. Conner, of
Rushylle. Altogether, the Bethany meetings
have been very satisfactory to the man
ayers as well as to the people who have attended
them. The gentlemen in charge of the arrange
ments have labored diligently to keep faith with
the public, and the only hitch in the whole
course was the failure of Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,
to speak on last Saturday, as announced. This
was due TO sickness in the Senator'S family, and
was unavoidable and excusable. Without aim
