No soil in the world ia better
adapted to the cultivation OF fow-
ers than this of ours, and we very
much regret the ladies do not pay
more attention to their flower gar.
dens. Pot plants artistlcally ar
ranged about the house is well
enough, but the yard should be or
nalnented with roses and other
shrubs, which can be purchased IN
Fendless varieties at most reasons
able figures. We shall look for
and note improvements in this line
early in the fall. In describing
the "White House," at Washing.
ton, a Louisville Courier-J ournal
correspondent has the following to
say of the conservatory:
cit must take nearly half an acre
of glass to cover the flowers of the
White House conservatory. 1t keeps
two men busy all the time to take
care of it, aud the finest of all kinds
OF flowers from orchids to roses are
continually in bloom here. There
are broard ia-rubber plants
which are worth from $50 to 500
apiece, and there are some flowers
which are absolutely worth their
weight IN gold. On the night of a
White House dinner or reception,
the whole mansion is decorated with
flowers, and at one state dlnner
not long ago there was a floral piece
Oh the table which used 5000 flow~
ers in its making. At dinner to
the Supreme Court 1000 flowers
we're used to make temple OF JUS
tice, and at the last diplomatic re-
ception the mantels of the parlor
were banked up with flowers, and
at another time they were covered
with immense double tulips rising
out of banks OF green. Every state
dinner requires at least 1000 roses,
and during the winter 5000 sprays
of lily-of-tbe-valley and 400 strings
of smilax were used"
In that northern climate flower
culture is very expensive; but here,
our yards could be made verltable
little Edens at insignificant exe
pense and labor.

Don't scare people when they
want to come here and locate with
such high prices for lots. Tow
lots here are sold greatly in excess
of their real value, and our people
make u mistake in this regard.
Rents are reasonable and town prop.
erty should be accordingly.
Franklinton Lay New Era.
Yes, this is a mistake that is fire..
quently made by property holders
in new towns whenever house and
lot room is in demand, BY pursu-
ing this policy the death of the
goose that lays the golden egg Is
assured. When property demand
is evinced in new village, the
would-be citizen should by all
possible means be encouraged to
locate, and nothing can so easily
secure them as the inducement of
cheap HOMES and good SCHOOLS.
If land owners here would give ev~
cry third or fourth lot OF their
town tracts to actual settlers, with
the understanding that they be inns
proved at once, there would be a
natural, legitimate and wonderful
increase in the value Of the re-
naming lots. Property holders
would then be able to reap a
rich reward with an easy con-
scieLce. House room and homes
have been in demand here for
some time, and public spirited cit
liens and capitalists should exert
every effort to accommodate all
applicants.

FOR THE HOME.
BABY HAS CONE TO SCHOOL

The baby has gone to school; ah mel
What will the mother do,
With never a call to button or pin,
Or tie little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day
With the little 'liindering thing" away?
Another basket TO fill with lunch,
Another 'good-by'' to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with sigh that is half relief,
And half a something akin to grief.
She thinks of a possible future morn,
When the children one by one
Will go from their home out into the world,
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desolate home of that future year.
She picks up garments here and there,
Thrown down in careless haste,
And tries to think how il would seem
nnothing were displaced;
If the hours were always as still as this,
How could she bear the loneliness:
