We read the above article and 10 say that it was a great surpris c would be putting 1t mildly. We were astounded. After reading 1t We started out to investigate the thing when we found that two other gentlemen had received the article the Mayor and Postmaster. It was only short time then until al most every prominent citizen in town had either read the article or heard some one else read it, and they expressed both pity and con tempt. Pity for 8 boy like young Martin, who tried to defame the fair nams of Sprlngdale, while he himself has been a complete failure since his residence here; and con tempt for the editor who would try and use such ali absurd thing for political matters, knowing lh his own mlnd that it was'a bold lie.
 About two months ago F. II. Liy- ingston and John Martin embarked in the mercantile business here. Tie room they occupy IS small and their stock is not extra fine, while there are large establishments here in the same business and, as is al- ways the case with new men. tAoY

 Sprngdale. Ark, Aug. 22, 1888. EDITOR NEws:-
 SIR: We find in arecent issue Of the St. John News an article under the heading A Great Difference, wherein the editor of that paper comments at considerable length upon the treatment ot northern men by Democrats oI the south. as reported by one John Martin in a recent letter to his father. In re ply will state that We denounee every statement made by the said John Martin as false and as having been made without any foan iatlon what ever.

GEESE on THE FARx.-Any far.
mer who lives on a farm situated one
quarter of mile or more from neigh.
bors may keep flock of geese with
profit. II blessed with too near
neighbors, the geese might trespass
upon their gardens or get into their
bean patches or fields of grain when
least expected. Geese are taught with
little trouble where they must stay,
and they will run in a pasture where
there Is plenty Of water and. grass
growing sapidly without other food.
The gosiings viii do better if fed a
little corn meal, mixed into dough and
salted, every night and morning until
fully feathered. After this they will
get their own living.
Geese may be picked once in six
weeks, beginning the first of MAY.
They should not be picked later than
October. Goslings usually sell for 81
a head alive when three months old.
If kept until fall, they will bring 81
and leave the farmer the feathers,
which will sell for about fifty cents
Per pound. This is the estimate
where no extra feed is used. II fed
night and morning for few weeks
before killing them for market, the
geese would OF course weigh more and
sell at an advanced price. Many wo.
men make business of raising geese
for mrrket, preferring them to hens,
claiming that they get their money
much more rapidly and with iess
trouble than by keeping hens.

The CULTURE OF CELERY Celery
requires rich soil, as the quality de-
pend upon the rapidity of the growth
and formation OF the cellular tissue
which contains the sap which gives
tenderness and succuleuce to the
stalks. 1t is not the best plan TO ma.
nure in the trench only the soil
should be thoroughly manured all
over. Market gardeners use IS tons
to the acre, which is about 1000
pounds to the square rod the ma.
nure is plowed in and mixed by
thorough narrowing, and with all this
manure about 1000 pounds per acre
of fine bone -four are used in the
lows. The most effective fertilizers
are bone dust, superphosphate Of
lime, and Peruvian guano. Muck or
peat soil Is excellent for celery, but
requires liberal manuring; on account
of its extreme succulence, a moist soil
ia most desirable but it should be we'll
drained so that there is no stagnant
water remaining in it. Celery of first
quality is always in demand and sells
at good prices.

Solemn Smiles,

Laughing at funerals is such a gross
violation Of the rules of good breeding
and common decency that the provo.
cation must be great If one can be
excused at all for such scandalous
conduct. The writer owns up to
several irrepressible smiles and one OF
two wicked giggles while attending
several funerals in certain rural dis
tricts. He offers the facts in each
case in justification of his conduct.
An aged farmer had died from the
effects Of a kick from q mule. The
clergyman officiating at the funeral
was an antiquated specimen of sim.
rlicity and ignorance. His first words
we're:
"ln assembling around this cold
corpse aud rejecting on the means by
which it became a corpse, We all
reminded of the uncertainty Of life
and of the unexpected disasters by
which cawpses air so often created
Skeerce twenty-four hours ago our
dear brother was in the full possession
Of his health a facilities. Little did
he think of his approaching end at
the haunds Of a mewel hitherto con.
sidered harmless and docile. Bnt. ahl
my dear friends" and here he began
TO weep, "even go ornery and triflin' a
critter as a mewel may be the means
OF converting US from the rosy bam-
ness of health to the white paleness of
a cawpse. You have all seen both the
cawpse and the mewel in this case,
may the lesson they have taught
never be forgotten. May it make an
impression that will cause you to feel
serious concern for your own latter
end whenever you gaze on even a
mewel."
At another funeral in little West
ern church the officiating clergyman
said, at the close of his discourse:
I'm accordance with the desire Of
the family of the dead deceased, the
coffin will now be opened that his
friends may enjoy the felicity of
gazing on him for the last time, and
the entire assembly proceeded to
enjoy the felicity of the occasion.
A minister once called at the home
OF death to make arrangements for
the funeral of the husband and father
who had died suddenly. While talk
ing with the widow he asked:
rs there any particular hymn you
would like to have sung at the funeT.
al?"
YES" she said, wiping her eyes,
have EN- sing, 'Halleloayer. tis
done Pa allus liked that and l
think it'd kind o'tickle him to have
it sung over his cold clay"
The hymn was therefore sung over
pas "cold clay" Let US hope be
vas where he could oe "tickled" by
hearing it.

To CONVERT BONES INTo FERTILE.
zKRs.-Procure a strong cask or box
capacity at least double that of
quantity Of bones to be reduced. II
there is barrel of bone, a molasses
hogshead would be about the right
size. Get a quantity of unleached
hardwood ashes somewhat larger than
the quantity of bones, a half bushel
OF quicklime and peck of sal soda.
Put a layer of bones upon this and
cover with fresh ashes, then add a
layer of quicklime and sal soda. Add
sufficient water to wet the mixture,
then add another layer of bones, GOV.
er with ashes, sprinkle on the quick
lime and sal soda; add more water so
as to wet the mass all through. Add
another layer of bones and proceed
as with the former ones until the cask
Is filed or the bones are all used.
Cover the last layer with ashes, limo.
and soda, and add water enough to
wet the entire mass. Add a little
water every day for eight or ten
weeks, at the end of which the bone
will be as fine as the ashes. Tie
mass should then be mixed with twice
the quntity of dry loan or muck. that
has been thoroughly pulyerized
by freezing and thawing. and it may
then be applied to crops either broad.
cast or in the hill.-Cultirator.

THIN VS.. THICK SoLEs.-The feet
can be kept warmer in cold weather
by wearing a shoe with light sole
than a thick one. With the former
the foot has chance to work, there
by keeping up a circulation. This, Of
course, applies only when the weather
Is dry. But when il is wet and rub
bers are necessary it is better to wear
a single-soled shoe inside. In the
summer the thick sole should De worn,
for it keeps the heat from striking
through to the foot. This is al! so
contrary to the preconceived opinions
OF the public that it is doubtful
whether it will receive much credence,
but it il the fact all the same.
