Cleaning the big tin Dutch ovens,
gathering hickory ashes, rubbing the
brass knockers on the front doors
and the fancy knobs that topped the
uprights at the end Of the stoop
rails were part of the servant girls
duties. Water was a troublesome
article to get. For washing, rain
water that flowed from the root
through leaders into cistern in the
ward was used. No storm, no wash.
That made the weather such an in
teresting subject of conversation.
Sometimes a fire would occur In the
neighborhood, and then perhaps the
thoughtless firemen would take
notion to drop the suction pipes OF
their engines down into cistern and
IN a few minutes exhaust a supply
of wash water that possibly took a
month to accumulate. The street
pumps were depended upon prlnci-
palIy for drinking water, although
as a midsummer luxury the man
with spring water would deliver his
sparkling beverage once in a while

THE NEW CODE.

We would suggest to the present

Tue code of 1880, or "Campbell's
CodP," has never given satisfaction,
but hIs been in use now for eight
years, with all its defects and short
comings, There have been a great
many changes, repealS aud new
laws, which render it much less
useful. Hence, we need a rew code
as quick as We can get it.
Aud more than that, in tins en-
lightened age, when every man is
his own lawyer, and resort is had
10 the code as every mans guide,
we need a more complete code.
Que that shall embody all OF the
lawsnO in force aud effect, leaving
nothing to sheet acts. As ignorance
of the law excuses no one, and as
penal laws may be violated without
involving moral terpitude, the
statute laws of the State certainly
ought not to be left longer than can
be avoided, in a confused mass of
sheet acts in the possession of a
few aud understood by none except
lawyers. We should Eave a code
for the use of the people and the
officers of the people.
We, therefore, recommend that
The present Legislature prepare tor

Last Sunday mention vas made
of the proposed car works ut Moss
POinl, Miss. II il understood that
II number OF persons Interested in
this venture visited Moss Point
yesterday 10 examine the proposed
site OF the Cal works.
The history of the movement is a
simple one. A short While ago au
advertisement appeared in a New
y. O.leanS paper stating thai IA laI &c
ear manufacturing compal y OF lhe
North wanted Sile in tue South
for 4 car factory. Proposals were
invited. Naturally there were hun
dreds OF replies; and one Of Mobiles
real estate agents was one Ol those
who proposed To do something in
the matter; but when he wrote to
New Orleans he could not get any
thing definite from the ADVERTISE, i,
so he turned The matter over to the
Chamber of Commerce.
The Secretary of The Chamber
wrote ut once, asking what the car
works people wanted. Answer
came that all the MobilianS had To
do was TO give a site aud make an
Utfrr Tor some stock or lands, and
then the proposition would be cou-
Silered, together with the Other
hundred or SO propositions. 1t was
stated that one large city in the
South had 70 ed 100000 in city
bonds in favor OF the enterprise.
Naturally the Chami,er wanted
to know, in confidence, what were
the conditions, what SOFT OF il facto
ry would be established and what
company WAS going to do the estab-
llshiug. The answer came that it
was thonght 500 hands would be
employed aud tLat fifteen cars

the amount ofcapital stock, antl he
names or location of the parties
SecreSy was essential. "lou might

PEAR CULTURE.

} We received the following note
few days since from Ocean Springs
Editor Democrat-Star:
Will you plense, through the col
umns OF your valuable paper, IN
torn me aud the public in general
hich is HE best fertilizer for yoans
pear trees in poor, sandy soil, where
barnyard manure is not available
aud oblige, truly yours,
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Wm. Jennings, in Southern Cult
ratOr says, tor LeConte pears, "a
few applications of stable or lot ma
uure or wood earth, annually, will
be found valuable. Wood ashes or
kainit in the spring and stable ma
nure in the tall will cause a sarpris-
ing growth. If for any reason the
soil near the tree cannot be stirred,
heavy mulcbing ofany coarse ma
terial makes a very satisfactory
substitute. Chip manure from the
wood Pile makes a fine mulchlng
for trees 10 the lawn or front yard"
He also SAYS, ''the cultivation con
siSts in stirring the soil near the
trees daring the growing season,
breaking the crust after every rain,
and allowing no weeds or grass TO
grow near them. Any annual crop
that requires frequent stirring of
the soil can be grown between the
lows"
This latter statement is confirmed
by Mr.. ThoS. E. Blackahear, OF
Tbomasville, Ca, who has bad fine
success, and furnished most OF the
trees for the first groves in West
Florida. He cultivated his orchard
as follows: First and second years
cultivated it in melons followed
with field peas; third year in Irish
and sweet potatoes; fourth year in
oats to stop the growth of wood and
make the trees bear fruit fifth
in oats again, followed by sweet po-
tatoeS and peas. Of course the fer
tlizer used was such as was suita-
ble for The crops planted.
Mr.. I. Jay Lacy, of Mount Hope
nursery, says OF the cultivation of
fruit trees generally: "Give good
cultivation, the same as for cotten,"
and of tranSplanting young trees.
Hold the tee upright, and throw in
Fne, rich. mellow dirt, loosely with.
not packing, till nearly full; then
put in Il bucket of water to settle
be dirt, aud hold the tree steady a
niHute till the water soaks down;
i'll up with dry dirt OH the top, and
he job is finished"
Our coast lands should be well
Trained for successfully growing
rmt trees, as well as all other
lOps. Our wet lands should be
Trained with covered tiles. pine orr
ypreSs poles will answer this pur-
'oSe. Such drains not only carry
Fl the water in the soil, but they
ermit the air to penetrate where
be- water had been retained. These
ole drains should be at least
hree or four feet deep. This is of
rst importance in the cultivation
f fruit trees on the coast.
