The School Business.

We do not believe anybody finds
any fault with the recent opinion OF
the judges in regard to the school
year, but the necessity of seeking
their opinion affords an occasion
for numerous thrusts at the late
Legislature. Almost every paper
has its little joke. 1t seems TO us
that the recent Legislature did
some of it's work on the school law
a little slovenly. But inasmuch as
the people were not satisfied with
any school law under which they had
previously lived, that body thonght
best to strike out in a new direct
ion and it is not surprising that
it should occasionally stumble. 1t
is fortunate that we have n Supreme
Court to make crooked things
straight. We are glad the Legislat
ure will not be required to meet
not that we fear its work or its
cost, but we do not wish to reaC
all the old jokes about it owe
again in the press of the State.

Nellie Lewis Carnation.

The latest and one of the best
novelties for 1891 is an elegant
Carnation, growing on long stems,
a free bloomer with large flowers,
of an exquisite shade of pink, some
thing entirely different from any
thing in Carnations. This flower is
destined to become a great favorite
among the florists, as the ladies prize
it very highly for corsage bouquets
and decorative purposes generally
The endorsement of the old firm
of James Wick, Rochester, N. Y. who
introduce this plant, is enough tc
assure the public that it is all they
claim for it. The price is only 5C
cents each, three for $1.25, six fol
1925, doz. $500; but a bette
way would be to send 10 cent
for Vick's Floral Guide and th
10 cents can be deducted from tn
first order forwarded for seeds.

very white and of fine quality.

done in the line of sugar making in
Vermont.
Such sugar is going to sell for an
excellent price without regard to any
