NATURAL OYSTER BEDS.

--~--@
 The Oyster Beds in Maryland Waters
 -The New Oyster Planting Bill Be-
 fore the state Legislature Limiting
 Ownership to Five Acres.
 Fair Haven people are interested over the new bill before the Maryland legislature re- garding oyster planting, limiting ownership in oyster beds to five acres person. The Fair Haveners resident in Baltimore watch the developments regarding the bill and the feeling entertained toward it by the legisla- tors of Maryland with much interest. The Baltimore Sun of last Saturday says on the subject: Senator Hodson says the criticism upon his oyster planting bill has been quite favorable. The bill limits the holding of any one person to one lot of five acres, and makes the claiming or holding of more frau dulent and void. The object of this provis- ion is to throw land chiefly in the hands of residents of small means, who will improve them, and not in the hands of capitalists and non-residents. No capitalists can afford to trife with ''one lot of five acres" Prominent champions of
 the rights of tongmen and labor have ap-
 proved the bill. The safeguards against ap-
 propriating the natural beds and bars are
 ample and complete. Appeal is provided to
 granted is null and void if it infringes on a natural bed or bar. Several of the county papers have commented on the bill with ap- proval. Inside the committee the bill made good impression The feeling in the com mittee is that there is rather too much ma chinery for the majority of the counties, and the probabilities that 1t will be modified so as to make it less ex- pensive. The opinion seems to prevail that g State commission should be appointed to deslgnate.all the natural beds and bars of all l the tidewater counties. This would material | ly diminish the expense to each county. The clerk of the shell fish commissioners for the county would keep the records required by 1 the bill and designate the surveyor to survey 1 the lots, which could only be laid down in
 waters declared by the commissioners not to l therefore, after the first duty of laying down | the natural bars, easily transact the duties | for all the tidewater counties.

Some Figures on Corn,

Nashville Union.
This is a great country, and its re-
sources are almost illimitable. We
have before us figures of the corn
crop of the United States in 1884,
which are almost bewildering in their
immensely. These figures, gathered
from reliable sources outside the CEN
sus bureau, show that there were Co.,
6S3, 7sO acres of corn planted, produc-
ing 1855 ,432 bushels, the home
value Of which was $640,735, 800
nearly three-quarts of billion in one
product!
The state of Iowa had I 1929, $50 acres
of corn, which produced 252,6OO,0OO
bushels, worth $5S,O98, 200, and Him
OILS raised 244, 544, 900 bushels on $751;

The Dutch Girls Wooden Shoes.

Many of the honest citizens wear
heavy wooden shoes, which render their
gait laborious and ungraceful. A num-
Der of the bellies of the lower classes drag
these heavy shoes along with them. The
children seem to be able to manage their
wooden shoes much easier than the
grown people. When dozen or more
little urchins indulge in romp in the
street they set up clatter which can be
heard for blocks. The mother who
wishes to find her naughty child who has
left its task for street play does not at
FIRST use her eyes in the search for the
juvenile delinquent. She quietly sticks
one of her ears out of the window, and
when she hears a loud chatter that sug-
gests the tearing down of houses in the
neighborhood she rushes toward this
sound, guided by her ears. When at
length, breathing forth threatenings and
slaughter, she leads home her shrieking
offspring, the cries of the latter are
drowned by the music of it's companions
footballs. er.
The great advantage of the wooden
shoe is its staying powers. Every one
does not require new pair of wooden
shoes in his or her lifetime. When the
honest citizen is informed by the bloom
ing daughter that she would like to have
new pair of wooden shoes he frowns
and says: my child, what is the matter
with that pretty pair which your grand
mother received as her wedding gift!
They are still neat, although not gaudy.
You must remember that times are hard,
and that family expenses must be kept
down" The common people seem to
understand how to live cheaply. Many
of the laboring men earn but 90 cents a
day and yet manage to support families
and at the same time lay up enough
money to give a decent burial to those
members of their families who find
themselves unable to keep up the task Of
trying to live.-Antwerp Cor. New York

Platform of the Tennessee Democracy.

The Democracy of Tennessee, by
its representatives in the Convention

at large on the restoration of the
Democratic party to power in the adj
ministration of the general govern
ment. 1t Endorses the administration
of President Cleveland, and uph0lds
him in his efforts topurify the Govern
ment from corruption, to restore econ
Omy, to revive respect for the Consti-
tuition, to reduce taxation, to reform
the existing tariff, to allay sectional
animosities, to guard the Treasury
against unwarranted appropriations
of the public money, and to restore
the Government to the simple and
honest methods of administration
known and practiced by its founders.
1t endorses the administration of
Gov. Bate as honest, intelligent and
patriotic, and it particularly approves
the settlement of the State debt, which
has been so happily effected during
his administration, on terms alike
satisfactory to the public creditors
and the people of the State.

SUMMER RESORT ON HAWAII


There is a fine opportunity for
people who are tired of Honolulu
dust and want some fresh air and
comfortable rest for month or two,
to enjoy these at the Halfway-House
on Hawaii. This house is built as
resting place for tourists on their
way to the Volcano, and is acknow-
lodged among all the travelling peo-
pie as charming little spot. 1t is
situated halfway between the H. A.
Co.'s plantation at Pahala and the
Volcano. Passengers are landed at
Punaluu every Wednesday and
Saturday, and will find there first
class hotel in every respect. Having
had good rest there after the sea-
trip, they will be transported to
Pahala on tramway and further on
carriage to the Halfway-House. The
whole trip from Punaluu will only
take 3 hours, and is nothing but
real pleasure. 1t 10 not like driving
on hard dusty country road, but
one continuous carpet of soft grass.
The surroundings of the Halfway
House are beautiful, lying right in
the woods of everblooming Ohia and
Mamane, with the majestic Mauna-
loa above, and views to the ocean
on the other side. The climate is
excellent and for sickly people the
place is really sanatorium. The
nights are nice and cool, and your
sleep is not disturbed by mosquitoes
and nothing can be more refreshing
and in MIGRATING than morning
walk among the trees, inhaling the
delicious balmy air, and listening to
the music of twittering birds. Here
are all varieties of ferns and many
wonderful caves, and everything to
attract attention of those who have
a little interest in studying and en-
joying nature. Good animals are
always at hand, so a splendid ride
can be had whenever wanted, and
also a new elegant brake will be at
the disposal of the guests. AS men,
toned before, the Halfway-House is
only short distance from the
Volcano, so no better opportunity
can be had to visit this wonder of
the world. The house itself is nicely
put up with comfortable rooms and
beds, and first class meals will
always be served at a moderate rate.
The charge will be $29 per day
including everything. j. M. LEE.
Hurry up, come on, arouse yourself,
Throw pen and ink and books on shelf:
Let business rest, and all its bother,
Be left behind to someone other.
If you are sick OF poor of health;
And want to spare some of your wealth,
You better leave the city-get away!
And try the Halfway-House without
delay.
Hurry up old boy and leave the city,
1t is indeed too big pity,
To see you slave in dust and sun,
Come to the Halfway-House, that's
better fun. [66
