i. standardn Time.

Owing 10 the fact that our edition of last
week. is exhausted we comply with the re-
quest of q number of our citizens. and re-pub.
lish the article on :. Standard Time,'' which we
believe comedies with the views of q large
ity of the people.
Some two years or more ago the railroads OF
the country adopted. for their own convenience
in running trains, a so-called Standard time. or
in reality, several standard times. for different
localities. An effort was made to have this
time adopted by the public. and in many places
the experiment was tried. but alter short
trial was abandoned as being impracticable
for the ordinary affairs life. While there was
a little confusion at first. people soon became
accustomed to calculating the difference in time
in speaking If railroad matters. and with the
exception of the small portion of the population
known as the travelling public. which comprises
about i've per cent of the people. everyone was
satisfied However, some unknown influence
was brought to bear upon the wise lawmakers
at Columbus. and they declared that, on and
after April 1st. 1898. the time that has been and
is shall be no longer. The appropriateness OF
making this act take effect on All Fools Day is
becoming more and more apparent to those
who have attempted to regulate their affairs Ds

slower than tnas Dy winch tHc soldI SSSteu -
run. The law abiding people of Rayenna. at
least portion of them. tried the experiment.
and the result is confusion worse confounued.
with ONE or two exceptions the manufacturing
establishments announced that they would run
ON the new time, but when Monday morning
came. bells and whistles called the workmen to
their labors at the same old time. Inquiry
brought out the fact that while their CLOCKS had
been set back to the new legal time. there
would. in reality, be no change in the working
hours. schools and churches are also run in
the same manner, and in fact. with the ex-
ception OF the Postofice and the Saloons none
of those wh0 pretend to have adopted the
..standard'' time have done SO in fact. OF the
two exceptions it may be said that. while the
former adopts the new time for opening but not
for closing the latter adopt it for closing bat
not for opening.
.The ueople do not take kindly to this new in
noyatlon, Ninety five per cent Of them have
NO use for railroad time. and insist that there Is
no valid reason why they should be compelled
to regulate their actions to conform to the arti-
hcial time created by corporations. patronizsa
by a small minority. Can anyone tell why the
rule of" the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber', should not be applied in this matter. anu
allowing the railroads to run their trains on
fat time if they wish. let the per cent. instead
of the 95, compute the difference between it and
real time,

How to Eat a Watermelon.

The suggestions of an eminent citi.
zen OF Georgia for the selection and
eating of a watermelon are given in
his own word: 1t should be care
fully chosen. In response to a thump
th-re should fOlio~ dead and
meaty sound. The melon should
not weigh less than % pounds. 1t
should be split from end to end
with q short-bladed pocketknife, 40
that in tearing it open the glowing
and juicy heart, bursting loose from
its confinement, shall find lodg-
ment on one side only. At this
DOInt the knife is to be thrown away.
For a moment the eve should be al
lowed TO feast itself on the vision
thus brought to view; then the heart
should be scOOped out with the hand,
aud the necTariOus meat thrust upon
the hot and thirsty palate. There
ought to be something savage in the
enjoyment of watermelon ; it ought
to be crushed aud swallowed with
