ABOUT ICE.
YoU WANT 70 Use THE PURE
ARTICLE. 1
n Is a Natter Worthy Of attention

The season is now at hand when the
consumption Of Ice is quite large, and
when that article is not only luxury
but in many cases u necessity and en-
tiers the homes Of thepoor as well as the
rich.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
getting ice that is absolutely pure in
every particular. Ice that is taken from
lstagnant ponds contain the germs OF
disease and is dangerous TO the health
of the consumers. Artificial ice when
properly made is free from all impure
ties.
IN the cholera epidemic in New York
last year the most prominent Physicians
Recommended the use OF artificial ice as
| 1t is devoid Of all elements OF danger
and none but pure water was allowed
10 be used. Ice inspectors are being
,appointed in the larger cities OF the
country, and all the ice taken from
ponds that are stagnated and impreg-
mated with impurities, is condemned
and its sale prohibited. 1t is the duty
OF the health officers to look into this
n after and see that no impure ice is
sold. We do not want cholera epi-
demic here this summer.
These few opening remarks were sug-
gested TO us by d visit to the plant of the
Parkersburg ice Company, one OF the
solid enterprises of the city and good
sanitary agent in point Of the purity of
its output.
The company has spent several thous-
and dollars this season in improving
their property and 1t is now one Of the
most complete institutions Of the kind
in the country, with o daily capacity of
from 10 to 10 tons OF beautiful ice.
The water used in the manufacture of
their ice is pureclear spring water. This
in turn is distilled before being frozen
and it is absolutely impossible for any
impurity TO remain after the water has
gone through this process. The water
is then conveyed to watts and frozen into
blocks weighing 200 pounds each. This
water does not come Il contact with
ammonia as is claimed by those who are
not acquainted with the process of freez-
ing, but is iniron pipes under freezing
watts. There are no secrets about the
works and any one who is in any way
skepticai about any OF these points can
have access TO the building ut any time
and If they had never seen an ice plant
in operation the visit could not help
but being an interesting aud instructive
one.
The company commenced manufac-
turing ice March "a, and besides furn-
lshlng their customers are storing the
remainder and now have several hun
dred tons in their storage house.
The demands for artificial ice is grow
ing constantly and the company will

A pretty young school ma'am
in one of our southern West vir-
ginia counties was trying to get
one of her pupils to pronounce
the word "h-u,s.b-a nd" In
order to give the child a cue to
the pronunciation, she asked
What would l have if I should
get married2" We are not at
liberty to give the little fellows
answer, but our advice to you if
you lave any respect for your
scalp is to never mention the cir
cumstance TO the young lady.
She says all brats are ''heathens
anyhow" and she don't have to

North Carolina puts her Prisoners to
road Making.
Mr.. Robinson, the Commits.
sioner of Agriculture of North
Carolina, told the Southern Gov
ernors at Richmond of an expert
ment his State is making. A
county is permitted to withdraw
its convicts from the penitentiary
and put them at work on the
county roads. This has been
done, notably in Mecklenburgh
county, and four miles out of
Charlotte in all directions the
roads have been reconstructed
by convict labor. So we'll pleased
is the county with the result
that the work Is to be continued.
Other counties are adopting the
plan. Just as fast as the road
construction reaches a farm, that
farm Immediately appreciates in
value. The effect is so marked
that there is developing a very
strong sentiment in favor of this
disposition of convict labor.
Commissioner Robinson believes
it Will spread until the whole
convict force OF North Carolina
is engaged in building county
roads.
