Orders for thirty-five hundred cases of shoes
we're received by the Union Shoe and Leather 90.
last Saturday from the Southwest. This speaks
louder than words for the high class of goods
manufactured by this company. The orders up
to date cannot be filled with the present force,
and the company are rapidly getting their new
machinery into place, when they will double
their present capacity, and also begin immedi-
ately the manufacture of fine and high priced
goods. The shoe industry, at least in saltwater,
is bound to be a success.
We are in receipt of about one hundred copies
of Mark M. PomerOy's famous books, which we
will soon distribute among the inmates we
will arrange a series of cell numbers on each
book and endeavor to get a copy in every cell, III
their regular order, and every inmate will get
the benefit of the entire collection, in time.
What we request is, that inmates after reading
the COPY left with them, will erase their cell
number only, and place the book in the exchange
x,
Erase no numbers but your own, and do not
mark or deface the books in any manner. or priv
ieges will not only be.debarred, but you will be
violating the rules.
Matron Mckinney took in the last of her win
ter plants this week. and the little piece of land
devoted to Horticulture by the female inmates
looks desolate indeed, save and except that par
ticular bed where vegetables took precedence
over flowers The fact has never, we believe
been made public that Mrs. WOlfer once perpe
trated an innocent little joke upon Miss Mckln
ney apropos of this flower garden and the story
is worth telling. Early in the spring the matror
asked for and obtained small piece of GROUND
for a flower garden, more for the purpose OF Civ
ing outdoor employment and exercise to her lit
tie flock than for any benefit to be derived
Every evening the female inmates, under thu
matron's direction, piled hoe. rake and spade
and to such good purpose that when plantln!
time came, they had an elegant little garden pho
laid out in beds in the form of maltese cross
Mrs. Wofer now saw golden opportunity Tor
little fun, and after the beds had been all sow
with the various seeds, she took occasion, durln
the matron's absence, to carefully rake over on
particular bed and to plant therein--t omat
seed! Miss Mckinney had kept careful tab O.
, the different beds, and when this particular on
: shot up Il score of hardy, quick-grOwing plants
she was naturally at Il loss to account for TIL
8 seemingly homogeneous harvest. She remen
bered perfectly that in this bed she had plante
larkspur, candytuft, sweetwilliam and verbens
d WHILE instead of these flowers, she had no retur
q save this sturdy row of lOng-stalked plant
;, which somehow seemed to remind her OF TOM
toes. The truth came out later, when the fru
h ripened and the joke was acknowledged. and II
