SINE years ago the cultivation of sun
flowers was advocated By several of our
citizens, We bought some seed. sowed them
according N Instructions. They came M
and thrived admirably well We found by
experience that they are an excellent food

with the seed and they viii not stop laying

and seeds is sufficient to supply all that is

They are an excellent stomachic for them.
We noticed when we cultivated them that
a small yellow bird was very destructive
eating the seeds with a relish-gluttons in
fact. So We would fire Shank cartridges
occasionally at them, which had the hap
py effect Of regulating their visits, and
finally they ceased TO modest.
The cynical spirit of fault finding is a
fault of ours. We are too apt to see the
"moats" in our neighbors eyes. but we
invariably fail TO discover the "beams" in
our own. Well, be this as ii may, we'll
say, keep the yards, front anu back, clean.
Pieces Of paper, rags, leaves, etc, are great

sickness in great measure? This advice
Is to be taken without delay-it is easily

reached that condition known as willing

Large congregations gather at our
churches whenever there is divine service
at them, particularly the r. G. Churches.
Our honorable State Senator sometimes
pnts in an appearance at st. MichpVs.
He was there some Sundays ago, and a rich,
pretty and scholarly lady from Snow Hill
was there, too. The Senator was pointed
out TO her, and now It's fixed. Cupid sent
his arrow straight to the mark, and there
will be surprise in store for some clerk
OF the Court. Perhaps the clerk of the
Court from which marriage licenses are
obtained IN the City of Beautiful Distances
may have the pleasure Of issuing the GER
tiiicate. Many good wishes, &c.
And now the Apricot tomatoes. what
variety next? Eddie Mayo and Dallas
Evans, Esqrs., have them. They are de-
licious in taste. We will not exagrerate.
No, although they are well favored and
juicy, their taste is not like mixture of
Strawberries, white and red, raspberries,
red and purple, and oranges. They are

above mentioned.

A few late apples, not many this season.
The apple-tree is valuable acquisition TO
any farm. Had it not been for the Span
iards and English, the expression so often
heard, She's as pretty and as sweet as an
apple blossom" would not be heard. And
the fruit, well, it's nice for ries and such
like.
