Rich but Undeveloped.

This county has large area Of rich
and valuable lands, very low in price,
convenient to market. capable Of a
high state OF cultivation, with profit
able returns, which are entirely nm
occupied. Less than one-twetieth of
the lands OF the county are being
cultivated. and but very little Of that
in cultivation II made to yield such
returns rs it may. Howard county
is capable Of sustaining a prosperous
people of at least eight times as large
rs it now has.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Better schools, an improved con-
tlition OF the public roads, more do
mestic animals, hundreds Of new
homes. with the diversified industries
they will bring, giving profitable en-
ployment to all the mechanics Of the
county, rs well As to hundreds Of 9th
ers, an increased demand for the COM
lnodities and goods of the merchants,
an increased consumption Of nearly
every thing grown or produced in the
county and state, with proportion
ately lighter tax burdens and an in
creased number Of shoulders to bear
them.
HOW sHALS THIS RESULT BE REACHED:
For years the great tide of emmi-
grafton has, rushed wildly past the
grand opportunities Of our region,
because other localities were better
advertised and better known. We
have cheap and productive lands;
ample railroad communication with
the world; good market towns all
about us: the finest herds Of thorough
bred cattle, embracing nearly all the
popular breeds; the finest studs of
draft and roadster horses to be found
on the continent, with thousands of
room for other like studs and herds:
in sheep and swine no country has
better, with ample room for multi
plying the flocks and pens almost in
definitely.

whose names do not occur to us at
this moment, will bear willing witness
Of the adaptability Of our climate for
stock breeding, and Of the grand
financial results from these vacations.
But these parties can cover but a
small percent of the valuable lands
we have, every foot of which is adapt.
ed to growing stock inasmuch as
the finest grazing and meadows in the
world can be made on every acre in
the county. Our people have long
enough kept their light hid under a
bnshel. If they mean to reap the
grand results which are possible and
await their grasp, they must herald
to the world the advantages, natural
and acquired in their territory. The
Eastern States, as well as many of the
States near us, have the very kind of
men and women we need, who will
migrate as the summer opens.
Shall they be made to know what
our county has and asked tol look and
satisfy themselves of the truth OF
what we allege.

John Robinson writes as follows in
tho Bulletin for May:
When our farmers get their
farms seeded with clover and the
graccs, and divorce the farm from
the cotton and tobacco incubus,
they will begin 70 realize how much
easier it is to live and mako money
by growing stock, not only for
thor own needs, but also for the
markets.

A Question Of Legs.
New York Graphicl

From Col. Hay, the private socro.
tary and biographcr Of Lincoln, to
the martyr President himself is q
natural transition. This story is DO.
ing told Of Lincoln. Stephen A.
Douglas, short and stout, and Owon
Lovrjoy, Of medium size, were oncc
gossiping together in Lincoln's pres
cnce upon the proper length of a
mans legs. Now" said Lovcioy,
"Abc's legs are altogether too long,
and yours, Douglas, | think are a lit.
tie short. Let's ask Abe what he
thinks about it," The conversation
had been carried on with a view to
Lincoln's ovcrhcaring it, and. they
closed it by saying 'Abc, what do
you think about it?' Mr.. Lincoln had
4 fur away look, as he sat with one
leg twisted around the other, but he
responded to the question "Think of
what? "Well, we're talking about
tho proper length Of a mars legs.
We think yours are too long and
Dcuglas' too short and we'd like to
know what you think Is the proper
length :" "Woll," said Mr.. Liucoln,
that's q matter that Two never given
any thought to, SO Of course I may DO
mistaken; but my first impression is
that 4 mans legs ought to be long
enough TO reach from his body to the
ground"

AS we have never seen any thing
from this community i'll your paper, we
hope you will spare us space enough
for & few lines in your lengthy columns,
but If We fail 10 supply the task we have
taken we hope you will not "view lis
with a critics eye, but pass our imper.

in its infancy.
We are having plenty ofrain and crops
are growing rapidly The farmers ofthis
section arc feeling quite buoyant over
fine crops and, If the good seasons con-
tinuc there is no reason why they may
not expect the most abundant harvest.
It has SO far been a favorable year for
farmers. and. not only farmers, but u
entire country, and we should feel very
gracious when we read Of Pennsylva-
MAS awful flood and. the Detailing cas-
lamitics OF other countries and. know
that ours still exist, safe and unharmed.
We have a llousishing Sunday school
at Beulah, under the efficient manage.
ment OF MIR. r. p. Stanton. as superin>
tendant, backed by a corps OF hard
working officers and teachers. all Of
whomc undoubtedly put forth every
effort in his or her power Tor the adj
vancemcnt Of the school. The average
attendance up TO the present time has
been remarkable good.
The seat that has been so promptly
filled in the bible class by one OF our
young men, we notice Tor The last lew
Sundays has been vacant, for no other
reason can we imagine than that the
blissful thought OF matrimony reigns SO
supremely that he is completely over
come. and, unable to resume the respon-
sibilitics that rests upon him. AS we
sat upon the new church steps one Sun
| day night not long ago, while the silver
moon shown dimly out from behind the
swift passing clouds heard my young
friend returning home from the cottage
beyond the vally' he was singing in the
most heart melting torres that ever
reached the ear OF the writer the well
known song. II will remembery you love
in my prayers" AS he nearcd the
church the singing ceased, and we
could hear a low murmer not distinct
enough TO understand. Thus he passed
us unnoticcd. We sincerely hope tina,
his anxious heart will soon be set at
ease and, he will again resume his POI
sition in the Sunday school.

Cultivation of Nutm.e.

Paddling into little cove, says Capt. John
Strahan, on the south side of the bay. we
landed beside clear ripping stream, and,
having ordered the whole of the men to
march In Indian file in front, we started by a
little rugged path into the mountains, with
my interpreter i'm mediately behind me and
the rajah just in front. Every foot of the
Journey, which was laborious in the extreme.
disclosed fresh seer es of verlure and tropical
splendor. Winding along the sides of deep
ravlnes, sometimes dragging ourselves up the
creepers and under growth we ultimately at
tanned an. altitude of about 1000 feet above
the sea, and then entered the nutmeg conn
try. Here we halted and rested The rajah
pulled some of tie nutmegs and explained
how far they were from being ripe.
Having rested sufficiently we again started
forward, and after scrambling along for
ABOUT an hour we gained fine piece of table
land, over which We Travelled for about an
other half an hour, when we reached three
houses erected in the very heart of the forest.
These were used by the natives for driving the
nutmegs The country was every where mag
nificent, and the aroma of the spice laden air
delicious Nutmeg and other equally valu-
able trees were everywhere growing in great
profusion. The fruit of the nutmeg In an
pearance resembles a pear, and when ripe
opens and displays the nut covered with a
beautiful red coat ng of mace. The nuts are
then picked from the trees put into baskets
and taken to the houses where they are
husked and placed on shelves. They are then
partially roasted over a slow fire until all the
moisture is extracted After this they are
cooled and carried down to the village in nets
ready to be bartared to the Bugis, Arabs,
and other traders who frequent the gulf in
their small prows or junkos at the proper sea-

Servant Stealing

Ladies who are really gentle of heart and
manners shonld observe certain points of
honor among themselves. A gentlewoman
will not allow servant, however faithful to
gossip to her of other homes in which she
may have lived. She will know instinctivelv
that it is her duty to teach the nurse girl, the
cook, the house maid, that gossip is as bad in
the kitchen rs in he parlor. A gentlewoman
Will not take away the servants of other
ladies. This sort of bribery and stealing is
common, and many mistresses do not seem to
see any dishonor it IL is not honorable to
take away a cool; from good home on the
promise of giving her dollar extra Re

but it is bad enough for women to be
ashamed TO be engaged in it.-New Orleans

A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that, too, by lady in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severests tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought of us a bottle of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for consumption and was
so much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night. and with one
bottle has been miraculously cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther LutZ." Thus write

At the Charity Entertainment.

Have you ever carefully inspected the au-
dienco in Attendance at the average charity
concertl 1t is usually sort of poor rela-
ton audience. Tickets are sold to wealthy
people, who tak g them because the object is a
worthy one in their opinion, but they do not
care to attend the entertainment themselves,
so they shower their tickets among their poor
relations, who are only too glad Of a chance
to go TO some sort of n show. II there are
no poor relations to be favored the tickets
are given to the postman, the milkman, the
grocer or the butcher, and, as consequence,
the audience which assemblies is composed
partially of the lower middle class and of the
man whose greatest pride is to mention the
name Of some veil known millionaire as his
wife's cousin. But all the same the deserv-
ing charity ges the money, and the artists
who volunteer doubtless appear before a
more appreciat We audience. -ChicagoHerald
