 We have received at the hands of J. E. Evants from W. M. Albright of Freeman township, samples of Irish potatoes, of the early rose and burbank varieties. The samples are very large, one over nine inches in length, but the chief point of interest in them Is that they were grown from eastern seed purchased eight years ago. MT. All bright selects the best of his crop every fall and puts them away until planting time. In this way he has been able after eight years to grow as fine pota- toes as were secured from the first crop. This proves that it Is great folly and waste of money to buy new seed every spring as great many farmers do. A little forethought and care would save this expense. It is estimated that $15, ,000 is spent annually by people of this county for seed po- tatoes alone. An outlay that could as well be saved as not.

 The dedication of the Washbnrne Memorial church last Sunday morning was an interesting event In religious circles and marked an epoch in the an- nals of Russellyille church history. Nothing speaks with greater emphasis for the enlightenment and progress of a community than the character of it's churches. In this respect Russellville Is peculiarly blessed. Among the half dozen houses of worship whose tall spires point to the better land which Russellyille boasts, the new Presby- terian ranks with the best.
