MIR. EDIToR:-At present. our little
village is very quiet and business very
good; we have two merchants, both of
whom are good business men.
Mr.. James j. Perry is quite sick at
this writing with rheumatism, but hope
he may soon recover, as some of our
girls are feeling quite sad about him.
Mrs. Stacy, who has been in our mids I
for the past two months, waiting on her
sick uncle, left for her home in Texas,
accompanied by her uncle Joe and aunt
Lizzie, some ten days ago.
Miss Ethlun Davis, who has been
quite sick, we are glad to state Is i'm
proving, and we hope will soon be up
we miss her very much since she has
been sick.
Miss Anna Green Matthews left foI
Lawrenceburg, where she will take
charge of school for some four months
How can the poor fellows stand it thai
long?
Our community was greatly shocked
at the sudden d. h of Mrs. / a IRA Me
Candless, who died at her home Febru
arY 9th. 1t was very sudden and shock
ed her many friends, | may say many
| for all who knew her, knew n only &c
love her. AS a wife and mother, she
was ever kind and affectionate; alway s
looking on the bright side ofeverythin4
and cheering those wbo.were sad. But
while our hearts are made sad by sc
great IL loss, we ought to think, it is hel
/
"Blessed are the dead, which die in the
Lord" To the bereaved husband and
parents we would say, sweep not" fol
though her smiling face will never be
seen around the family circle again; hel
sweet voice no more will be heard, NJ
mother to careSS the little ones, yet we
will see her again in that brighter
world, where there will be no parting
no pain or death; and oh, may they be
able to say
Jesus while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spOils that death has won,
ave would at the solemn parting,
Calmly say, Thy will be DONE
| Though cast down we're not forsaker
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give and thou hast taken
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done
! Tho to-day we're filed with mourning
Mercy still is on the throne;
With thy smiles of love returning,
We can sing THY will be DONE"

ESSENTIALS IN GRASS.

Why Framework Should Not FREEDOM
mate Over the Softer Portions.
Grasses are usually grown for fod-
der, and should therefore be nutritious,
whether the forage is to be eaten green
in the pasture or in dry condition
from the meadow. In an ideal grass
there should be only enough of the
hard, woody or fibrous portion to sus-
tain the plant in an upright position.
In other words, the framework OF the
grass should not predominant over the
softer nutritious portions. Meadow
grasses require more of this woody
substance than do those best adapted
for the pasture. A grass that is crop
ped at frequent intervals has no de-
mand upon it to send up tall stems for
the bearing of long and numerous
leaves. Meadow grasses, on the other
hand, need to rise from the ground and
to height sufficient to insure a profit
able crop of good quality that is easily
harvested. There are, therefore,
mechanical difficulties. if none other,
in the way of perfect meadow grass
being the best for pasturage; at least,
the ideal pasture grass is not the best
Imaginable one for meadow use. Many
grasses, otherwise seemingly nearly
perfect for the meadow, are compare
lively worthless because the surfaces
of the culm or edges of the leaves or
both are covered with stiff sharp
prickles, giving the heritage rasp-
like character very disagreeable TO the
tenderer mouth parts of animals. Up
on the other hand. some otherwise
good grasses are covered with long,
slender hairs, giving them woody
feel, not relished by livestock. Other
grasses with smooth heritage are avoid
ed in the pasture by grazing animals,
because of their bitter juice. Such
grasses do not merit a place upon the
stock farm. The welcome grass, then,
must not be prickly, or rough, bitter,
woody, or too woody. but instead
smooth. soft. succulent and sweet
