Mr.. Tams saws:

Mr.. Tams says:
Mr. Cochran seems to be SOLICITORS as to the
amounts spent in attempting to enlarge the
city's limits, and in making the little improve
ment in front of the pump-house. These
questions being altogether irrelevant to the
main question: I have not taken the trouble to
search the record for the facts relative thereto;
but if Mr.. c. thinks the public, like himself,
is yearning for information on these subj ects,
let him get the facts from the record and ven-
tilate them to his satisfaction.
Well, let us see about the little park,
too large for one and not quite big enough
for two. Mr.. Argenbright, at my request,
comes again to the front, and in writing,
says that the Committee on Water, Feb'y
l, 'S7, offered a resolution asking the cOun-
Gil to ''set apart $200-payable out of the
Water Commuters fund for next fiscal
year, with which to fence in this ground
and make such improvements therein as
can be done for this amount" and that
the matter was referred to the Committee
on Finance, Mr.. 1ams Chairman, and
to cost of attempting to annex West End
IT Mr.. Tams will tell us what he said
before the committee in Richmond in re-
gard to some of the signers to the petition
OF the West Enders. and especially that
part about running dagger through their
souls whenever you touched their pocket
nerve, we will let the annexation matter
end.
In my last communication it seems that
my allusion to contracts given to men,
bers of the Council, their agents and en-
ployers, some of which claimed did not

gamin to come to the front through the
columns of the ''Valley Virginian," Re-
publican newspaper published in this city.

appear as cormorant who seemed to be
ever on the alert to sell the city goods, l

Are You a Crank d?

What would we do were it not for
the cranks? asks Robert j. Burdette.
How slow the tired old world would
move, did not the cranks keep it
rousing along Columbus was a crank
on the subject of American discovery
and circumnavigation, and at last
met the fate of most cranks, was
thrown into prison, and died in
poverty and disgrace. Greatly
venerated now! Oh, yes, Telemachus,
we usually esteem crank most pro-
foundly after we starve him to death.
Harvey was crank on the subject of
the circulation of the blood; Calico
was an astronomical crank Fulton
was acrank on the subject of steam
navigation; Morse was a telegraph
crank. All the old abolitionists were
cranks; the Pilgrim Fathers were
cranks, John Bunyan was a crank;
and any man who doesn't think as
you do, my son, is a crank. And,
by-and-by, the crank you despise
will have his name in every mans
mouth, and a half-completed monu-
ment to his memory crumbling down
in dozen cities, while nobody out
side ofyour native village will know
that you ever lived. Deal gently
with the crank, my boy. OF course
some cranks are crankier than
others, but do you be very slow to
sheer at man because he knows
only one thing, and you can't under
stand him. You thank Heaven you
are not a crank? Don't do that, my
son. May be you couldn't be a
crank if you would. Heaven is not
very particular when it wants a
weathervane; almost any man will
do for that. But when it wants a
crank, my boy, it looks very care
fully for the best man in the COM
munity. Before you thank Heaven
that you are not a crank examine
yourself carefully, and see what is
the great deficiency that debars you
from such an election.

Handsome Feet.

Baltimore News.
"Aristocratic feet may be cult
vated," remarked a fashionable shoe
dealer the other day.
"You take the grandchildren oil
such plebeians as Jay Gould and old
Commodore Vanderbilt, and they all
have beautiful feet" he continued
"It's all matter of shoes, bathing
stockings and care of the feet"
"How so? Well, take one of the
Vanderbilt grandchildren or George
Gould's baby, for instance. The
chlld's feet from its birth, are
carefully attended, bathed daily,
and only the best kind of shoes and
the best kind of stockings put on it.
"Then for children just walking
we make a shoe with an instep i'm.
prover-that is, the outer sole and
heel are made trifle higher than al
the inside of the foot. This tends to
cultivate high and curved instep."
"But isn't such shoe uncomfort-
able? was asked.
mot in the least. We have ladies
near middle age who come in here
and get fitted for such shoes. OF
course when the bones are hardened
it is not so easy matter to cultivate
high instep, but most children's
feet may be trained so that even the
--LATEST instep will become improved.
"The difficulty with many parents
is in selecting shoes that are just the
length of their children's feet" con-
tinued the learned shoe dealer.
"Now, there is nothing more
injurious to the shape of the foot than
short shoe. People of wealth soon
learn this, and, while the narrowest
possible width is chosen, the shoe is
always an inch longer than the foot.
"Children who are permitted to
walk or run about much need not
have large feet. The secret is to
battle the feet each night in warm
water and each morning in cold
water and a little salt, rubbing
vigorously. Then, if fine, harmless
stockings are worn, and shoes that
fit snugly without being tight, a
beautiful foot is sure to be the result.
"Old shoes, shoes Of different
makers, and shoes of various sizes
are more trying to the beauty of feet
than either tight or narrow ones"

Texas Ponies.

Nashville Banner
1t is pleasing to note that Commits
sioner Hord has spoken out in no un-
certain sound concerning the Texas
horses. The Banner has for years
been calling the attention of farmers,
and all concerned, to the evils that
were likely to result from the impor-
tations of these little vicious, disease
breeding animals. They are rarely
free from itch, and many of the dis
eases with which our native stock is
from time to time afflicted are due
to association With these Texas pO-
mics.

This month is a good time to pay

Oats thrive best in an elevator.
A farmer who has 10000 bushels OF
oats in an elevator need not worry
about the weather. Always raise
oats in a good elevator and keep out
of a deal with the Chicago man.
Look after the bean poles you had

Raise chickens. If you have a
nice little garden, by all means raise
chickens. Your neighbours hens are
the best ones to raise. You will find
them from $50 a. M, until6. pop. M,
on your lettuce, onion, radish and
flower beds. You can raise them
higher with shotgun than anything
else. N. B. Away eat the hen you
raise. P. S. Cook the hen before
eating. p. SIS. Before eating the hen,
that is.
Crush egg-shells and feed them to
your own chickens, if you are foolish
enough to keep any. If the whites
and yolks are removed from the
shells first they will crush more
easily.
fla good horse shows symptoms of
going blind, and is developing few
first-class spavins, it is time to sell
him. Sell him out of the country, If

Eternal vigilance is the price of the
potato crop. About ten hours day
devoted to crushing potato bugs with
hard sticks, will probably save the
upper part of the patch for you. BY
the time you dig the potatoes, you
will be so disguised with everything
pertaining to potato culture that you
couldn't look a potato in the eye
without feeling of nausea, and as
for eating one-but this enables you
to sell the whole bushel without a
pang.
Young hens lay more eggs than
old ones. This is because the giddy
young things have not yet learned
their value. In a few years they
know just how to stand around on

and then rush out and work double
time when eggs are so common the

A Fishing Schooner Run Down by y
Steamer-Two Men Drowned.
BosToN, Nov. 6-The sixty ton fishing
schooner Goldsmith Maid, Capt. Aleck Hines,
returning from the Middle Bank with 80, 0IO
pounds Of fresh fish, was run into and sunk
in Boston harbor by the steamer Glaucus, Of
the Metropolitan line, outward bound.
Peter Landry, of Arichat, N. s., and How
ard Monrose, of Shelburne N. S., who were
asleep in the forecastle, went down with the
vessel. The rest OF the crew were aft at the
time and succeeded in getting into one of the
schooners and reaching Galloupes Island,
where they spent the night They were
brought to Boston in the morning by tug.
One of the crew says the captain shouted
to the Glaucus to put out boat, but no heed
was paid to the request.
The Glaucus kept on her course until near
Boston light, where she anchored for a short
time and then proceeded. The schooner's
cargo was valued at 81 500
