The employees of the State Printing Office

purse containing the snug little sum of
$500 in cash.
This is sort of gift that is always
timely, but is especially so coming just on
the eve of the recipients retirement from
Office.

than the usual stock of common-sense.

The graveling of the block on Twelfth

day, and it presents fine appearance. The
work was done by Colonel McNasser, and
superintended by R. W. Parker. 1t looks
like first.class job, but it would be well
if drivers of vehicles would give the gravel
chance to dry out little and become
packed.

Once, N the years that are gone, one went TO
the open door.
With the simple heart of child, and the Savior
stood before,
And laid her upon His breast; no fear nor sor
row she knew;
But the heart of the man was stirred, at the
threshold looking through.
He caught at the robe of Christ, who saw and
lifted him up,
And spread the feast of His love that the hun
CRY soul might sup.
he filed his spirit with strength to seek the
sinful Of earth;
And help for the helpless lost he brought from
q stricken hearth.
The face of Florence to-night-the Swallowed
face on the wall
Is not only the face of the child, but the sign
and symbol Of all
The work that his hand has wrought, who
bowed and received the rod,
And lifted his heart and prayed and through
love of her found God.

nest yet, but most farmers are picking a
little. l.t-s
The principal work at present is max.
ing sugar and molasses. Just opposite
my window is the sorgham patch with
the hands engaged in stripping off the
leaves Tor fodder as they say. 1 have
just been down there to see the prospect.
The stalks are rather thicker than New
England corn field and will average about
the sizeiof a mans middle finger, and
varies in height from six to ten feet.
Most of the hands have a wooden knife
with which they strike off some of the
leaves and then finish with their hands.
The tops are then cut off and tits cut and
hauled into piles to be ready for the
portable mill: One quarter goes to the
mill owner for toll and the man who
owns the cane hauls the mill from the
former place of grinding to his own
patch and then furnishes the mule and
hands necessary for the work. The
owner of the mill superintends the boil
ing which is done in an evaporator some
ten or fifteen feet from the mill and con-
nected with it by pipe through which
the juice runs as it is pressed from the
cane. The Louisiana cane is left to grow
until time for frost.
This has been good year for water
melons and peaches. We have been
using sweet potatoes for about a week,
although they are not as good as they
will be later. There was an abundant
crop of cotton made last year, but the
rain was so frequent that much of it
rotted. This year the weather seems
more favorable. The freedmen, as a
general rule, like cotton so much better
than they do corn that they neglect the
culture of the latter. a2s- ,t.- ,.

suppose the leading thought with
you has been the celebration with it's
varied and interesting features. The
dedication of the monument would be
enough in itself to ensure pleasant
gathering and would furnish to your ora

warrant stirring appeal to the patriotic
pride of the present generation of Screen
Mountain boys" but when we consider
the Centennial features of the celebra-
ton, that would seem to be suitable as
as the opening scene of new era of
the National constitutional life, while
the dedication was an appropriate close
to the Revolutionary period. -.-

Saratoga this Week.

r. .. j SARATOGA, Sept. I'd, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Bdnner:-DEAR
SIR:--There is but one Saratoga, and
though the heighth of the season is
passed, it is still gay and filled with
a multitude from all parts of the world.
Several of the pulpits we're supplied last
Sabbath by distinguished preachers,
among them, Rev. Doctors Deems and
Dix of New York, and Vedder of
Charlestown, South Carolina. The
feature of this week is the gathering of
the Knights Templars Communicates of
the State for three days, with headquar-
ters at the Grand Union hotel, the com
manderies beginning to come on Mon
day. The great procession with over
two thousand in line, with music by over
twenty of the best bands of the State,
was advertised for Tuesday, to start at
two o'clock, and the morning had given
promise of such day as was enjoyed in
Bennington on Aug. 10Th. Clouds had
began to gather at noon but did not ap-
pear threatening, and the commander
les were formed on Circular street, an
ticipating gala time, receiving the
cheers and commentator of thousands
assembled to witness their fine display.
They were to march through the princi-
pal streets and to the race course where
several Communicates were to give an
exhibitionof drill in competition with
each other, the proceeds of which were
to go to three charitable institutions of
Saratoga. When the arrangements we're
completed heavy clouds had formed, and
as the procession had fairly got under
way,a tremendous rain with wind began,
which was an order to break ranks and
seek what shelter could be found. They
were in apart of the town where public
places were scarce, and so large ma
jority of the uniforms were drenched,
officers and musicians, as well as the
rank and file. OF course the drill at the
race course, for which large number of
tickets had been sold, was postponed
and will probably be witnessed on
Wednesday, if the weather is favorable.
The lateness in the season brings many
changes, of guests leaving and others ar
irving for short time, and many
coming from the country to spend few
days when prices are a little off. The
"Social Science Association" of Cornell
University, ex-President Andrew D.
White, at the head, is holding series of
meetings this week. This, like some
other slow and uninteresting organiza-
tons, have their meetings here that they
may be sure of an audience, either great
or small. to listen to their dry hashing
upon different subjects.
Yours. etc. II,

Village Improvement Society Fndow
ment.
To the Editor Of the Bdnner:-DEAR
SIR:-,The article written by A. P.
Childs, in last weeks paper meets the
hearty approval of the Village Improve
ment Society. We agree with him that
''the Village Improvement Society
should secure an ample fund" That is
just what we want. 1t is what we have
begged and prayed for ever since we
organized the society. We distributed
mite boxes, asking for small donations,
and, though some were returned empty,
the amount realized suficed to take care
of our park. We issued a circular last
Spring, asking for funds with which to
beautify the village, and twenty-one out
of one hundred and thirty-six business
men responded to it, giving us $117.
With that we have kept the park in
order, and given the village one drink
ing fountain.
If Mr.. Childs, or any one else, will tell
us by what means our society can ''se-
cure an ample fund.- or any fund at all,
we shall be most grateful. Thus far, the
V. l. S., has lived from hand to mouth,
and every dollar received has been
stretched to cover the space of two.
Only by great care and close manage
ment have we been able to do what we
have done, leaving undone many things
which we have longed to do.
1t is easy to say what should be done,
but how best to accomplish desirable
object, is frequently difficult question.
We await suggestions.
