the pollen, and the honey left over
winter in raising "brood," so that by
the time the poplar and white clover
bloom there will be a strong force Of
young and vigorous bees on hand to
gather in the nectar. Brood is the
name given to immature bees in all
stages from the egg to maturity.
The laying Of the egg, which is lit
tie white cylinder about one-tWen-
tieth of an inch long, has already
been described. About three days
afterward the egg matches and a mi
mute white grub appears. Then
some of the workers, whom we call
nurses, feed these grubs by placing
in the cell with them a drop of milky
or creamy looking fluid prepared by
the nurses. They continue feeding
them for about one week, during
which time the grub grows very rap
idly, but looks more like a worm
than a bee. The workers then close
or seal up the cell at the top with a
broWnish cap, and the grub or larva
is left to itself 1t lies quiet for the
next ten days, but marvellous trans
formations are going on, and at the
emo of that time it is a full formed
and full sized bee and cuts off the
cap of its cell with its sharp jaws,
craWIs out, stretches its legs and is
soon busily engaged in the full work
Of the hive. 1t does all its wonder

cisiOn as we'll as if it had been in.
structed by the ablest civil engineers
of the age, and this without any in
slructiOn or previous experience
This we call instinct, it is indeed a
marvellous thing.
When we look into our bee hives
in the early spring we find no
"drones," only the queen and the
"workers," the queen busy laying
eggs and all the rest engaged in car
ing for them The more workers
there are in the hive early in the
spring the faster they "build up,
i, e., the more "brood' they can
care for and keep warm. The stores
of old honey are rapidly used up at
this season, and it is we'll to keep an
eye on them to see that they do not
run short before the new honey be
gins to come in. If necessary, feed
them, but if we have been careful
not to take too much from them the
preceding fall this will hardly ever
be necessary. At another time we
will look in upon them at the
"sWarming season."

Attention, Citizens.

Elsewhere will be found a report OF
the condition of Clarksville's water
supply. This report should be read
carefully by the citizens of Clarks-
willie as it shows a bad condition of
affairs. The stand-pipe contains only
about sixty feet of water, which is a
limited supply, and in case OF a fire
it would soon be exhausted. In view
of this fact citizens generally should
be careful with fire, for should one
break out in the business portion OF
the city nothing would follow but
disastrous contlagration. The water
mains will be idle for some time oW-
ing to the fact that the river covers
the breaks in the main to such a
depth that at the best three days will
elapse before it is repaired. The
LEAF.CHRONICLE would therefore
urge its readers to be extremely
careful until the trouble is over.

THE ANNEXATION QUESTION.
The Fight Up Before The Legislature

Inc Fight Up Before The Legislature.
A lively fight has come up on the
annexation bill now before the
House. The committee voted unan.
imOusly Monday to recommend the
passage of the bill as presented by
the city authorities. Monday was
the day set for the final hearing by
the committee of all parties who de
sired to have anything to say on the
subject After The vote was taken
several parties, including Messrs
Nolen and Allen and Brother Nc
DOWell, who do not live in the city,
nor in the territory to be annexed
presented petition for a change OF
the line, representing that the origi-
nal line takes in all of the poor PEG
pie, who are not able to pay corpora
ton taxes and leaves out a number o
rich men who are interested in all OF
the affairs of the city. 1t was repre-
sened that the petitioners were Ali
ance brethren and didn't want to live
in town, anyway, and our represen'.
atiVes We're prevailed on to use tn j.
Influence with the committee to give
the opposition another hearing on
CeXt Friday. Mayor Smith and Re
corder Bailey were before the com
mittpe on behalf of the city, and they
think the bill could be easily passeC
il our members, Messrs. johnson and
Dunbar, would call it up. But they
feel that they are between two fires
and are slow TO act. 1t occurs to u
that Mr.. johnson is IN a position that
he could not hesitate to take sides
with the city in this matter, and the
citizens certainly expect him to do
50. There could be but little or no
objection to change OF the line, il
that was agreed to, but it appears
that the matter has reached a climax
wherein any change whatever in
wolves the defeat of the bill, which
has already passed the Senate; and
as for petitioners, two to one can be
obtained in the same territory in ia
vor of the bill as it is, and nearly
every man within the old lines would
sign it. TIL defeat of the bill now,
as we have before said, will be a step
q long ways backward and will place
GAINESVILLE in a very awkward and
unenviable attitude. An election
was held and the people voted by
very handsome majority for anneXa-
tion. The population of his terrific

ton.
