For the amateur, the pot grown straw
berry plant serves well There is no
more risk of losing the plants than in
ordinary bedding plants. These plants
are obtained, explains Prairie Farmer, as
the runners grow in summer, by sinking
two or three inch pots in the soil, on a
level with the surface, and fastening, by
a peg or stone, single runner over each
pot, The roots strike into this, and as
soon as the plant has become well estab-
lished, the runner is cut off, the pots
lifted and placed by themselves, where
they can have shade for few DAYS, and
the plant is ready to be transplanted into
the bed 1t is ready to go on growing at
once, and give good crop the following
summer
Every one who has a garden should
grow a few wberrIes. When fresh
from the plant they are quite different
article from the very best that can be OBJ
tanned in the market The best way for
a small garden is to make new planta
ton for fifty or hundred plants every
year, and dig mp an equal number of old
ones, after gathering the crop. By be-
ginning at one end of the lot new soil can
be used for number of years For anna
teur use in this method the rows need not
be over two iect apart and the plants one
foot. 1t is always best to depend upon
such varieties as have proved suitable for
the locality We have heard good reports
of the Sharpless from many sources Al.

week from now on until election day will be
ground out campaign roorbacks to suit the
occasion. Therefore, fellow Democrats. be
on your guard against the hungry Republi.
can gang. They were thrown pretty big
bone last fall, which has only increased their
hunger and greed to get their hands farther
into the public treasury and their mouths a
firmer hold upon the public teat. The smut
machine is not grinding out these roorbacks
for your good, or the good of the people. but
TO satisfy an everlasting itching for Office,
which is Republican characteristic. There
fore, nothing too mean or low will be left
undone to prejudice Democrats against
their organization. Your ticket, fellow
Democrats, is good one from top to bottom,
well worthy your votes and undivided sup

Something 70 mink About.

On the 3lst day Of August, 1888, the exact
amount of surplus in the United States Treas
ury was $I83, ,420, ,O69.S0. This statement is
made on the authority of a letter from the
Secretary Of the Treasury to Hon. A. @.
Thurman. This surplus has been drawn
from the pockets of the people and is lying in
the treasury without the slightest necessity of
it being there. On the basis of sixty millions
of population, the proportion of this dead
surplus drawn from the people of Henry
county amounts to upwards of $4,000. Now
suppose that this amount had been levied
and collected OF the taxpayers of Henry
county, by order of our county commits
sioners, and that the surplus was laying in
the county treasury instead of the treasury at
Washington; and suppose further that our
candidate for County Commissioner was
