Rev David Osborne was pastor Of the
NJ. e. church here in 1876 and, in an in
teresting historical sketch published in
the Seymour Record, he states that the
church here was founded by Rev Jesse
Lee, father of Methodism in this section.
Among the original members were the
families of Joseph johnson, Ezekiel Cur
tbs, Stiles Judson, Samuel Beardsley,
James Clark, Capt Joseph Wilcoxson,
James French, Eliakim Sharpe and
James I. Beardsley. Joseph Wilcoxson
gave the land ON which the church was
built, rude edifice with one aisle, un'
planed slabs for seats and carpenters
bench for pulpit. A pulpit was put In
in 1916, and seats with backs. There
were 10Y conversions under the ministry
of Rev Luther Mead, Waite, Ezra H..
Pauline and Grace Clark from a single
family. Harry Lewis set out the NAPLES
about the church, where Rev w. Cham
berlin is temporarily stationed.

Recently in the Fiji islands, call was
made for 10 men to go as missionaries to
the unhealthy and dangerous regions of
New Guinea. Where they called for 10,
40 volunteered to 60. It is very evident
that these people believe that Christian
I ity is worth exporting. Perhaps also
they have heard the saying, 1.-THE more
of Christianity you export, the more you
have How would it do TO send q few
converted Fjis to Chicago to preach
Christ to the anarchists? Evidently the
Christian church of America is not doing
much for them.

railroad tells BEE reporter that the
road is not doing a rushing business, but
that, in his opinion, $40 or $l2 day
might be taken in each car. business
with us is dull just now" he continued,
'because so many have no work at the
shops. Many others do not make full
time and they feel that they cannot af-
ford to pay the company five cents when
they can walk just as we'll. When trade
is prosperous, you'll find that horse cars
and other public conveyances will carry
more passengers and make more money.
We have to make II trips a day, about
60 miles and it keeps us on the road from
6 m till late at night; sometimes L do
not get through till after II. What do
we get day? Drivers are paid 81 So and
they earn it, too. There are night driv-

II is the early bird which catches
the worm, and early planting which
catches the crop IN Texas. Potatoes
should be planted without moments
delay. If planted on top Of the
ground and covered with thick coat
ing Of straw, fine crop may be real
ICED. The straw can be parted and
the large potatoes removed as they
grow, and thus succession be OBJ
tanned, the crop lasting twice as long
as if planted in the ground. The
early rose is the potato usually
planted, though it is not very early.
There are fancy varieties much earlier
If they can be obtained. Peas, If not
already planted, should be put in at
once. The early dwarf varieties for an
early crop, medium early
for medium crop, and
the marrowfats or champion
of England (the last the BETTER for a
late crop Radishes;; lettuce and beets
should be sown at once. Carrots are
an uncertain crop in this section; so
are parsnips. Turnips may be sown
for an early crop with some uncer-
tainty; onion sets may be planted and
and will make. for early spring use.
A thick coating Of manure should be
applied to asparagus beds if not al
ready done. Roses should receive a
thick coating Of manure about the
roots. 1t is yet too early for beans.
In the flower garden nearly all seeds
may be sown with safety and the most
of bulbs planted. Trees, If not al
ready pruned, should be attended to at
once, and all shrubbery should be
pruned which needs it Running
1bses and climbing vines should be
thinned out, cutting out all weak and
blind wood; the terminal branches Of
climbers should never be shortened.
Every days delay in garden work is a
day lost.

The Draining.

Editor Evening News:
Please allow me space to answer
the objections of Progress" He ad-
mits that tile will drain wet lands
everywhere, but fails to drain roads.
That simply shows that he knows
nothing about it. He is in the same
boat with thousands of people, who
condemn what they do not under
stand, and hence to be excused.
He says have never cited one in
stance where tile made good road.
I think I stated i'll several articles 1
wrote for the Day, and one from u
prominent citizen of Illinois. that was
published in the Waco Trade Review,
all of which stated that the people Of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio
were thing their roads and that the
people were better satisfied with tile
roads than any other they ever tried.
First, because 1t drained the roads;
second, because 1t was the cheapest;
third, because 1t made road for all
time and did not need continued re-
pairs.
The subjoined letter to me from the
secretary Of the Board of Agriculture
of Illinois will certainly convince
progress" that road thing is not ali
lincolnshire" and when he says that
seven hundred dollars a mile would
be sunk in Texas mud, SO tar as the
travelling public is concerned. shows
again his ignorance, and I advise him
with others who are sceptical about
tile drainage for roads to investigate
this whole question before they ig-
norantly condemn it.
I have onlysthis In conclusion to
say, that thing is the only cheap and.
permanent solution of the whole road
problem.
The following is an extract from
the letter alluded to:
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Dec. %, 88.
Your favor of late date received, In
reference to road drainage. The roads
in many sections Of this state have
been drained with tile, and all who
have thus Experimental are well
pleased with the results.
