THE YELLOW CROCUS.

@ glowing flowers that gathers up
The sunshine in thy dainty cup,
And when the skies are dull and gray
Eliminates the cheerless day;
We thank thee for thy presence bright,
Which fills our hearts with warm de-
light.
BE like the humble flower, o, friend!
Hoard sunshine, but as freely spend
Your best. your all, to fill with cheer
The lives Of those whose skies are drear
Shine on, Oh, golden flower and bring
The thought Of an eternal spring!
Shine out, oh, heart of gold and bless
The souls that dwell in loneliness!
SO shall your own soul richer grow
With every blessing you bestow,
And sunshine warm, and true, and
bright,
Fill all your life with new delight.

PATRICK HENRY WINSTON FOR
SENATOR.
washington Post

Another candidate for United States
Senator from the State of Washington
has developed. He, too, is a great orator,
as his name, Patrick Henry Winston,
would seem to Indicate While this aspi-
rant for Senatorial honors always signs
his name in full in a bold, round hand,
the people Of the State have never been
able to take him seriously, and pat"
Winston he has been and always will be
in that State. Winston is a good lawyer,
and was United States attorney under
Harrison. He is now suing the govern
ment to recover double mileage fees,
which officers in that State were former
ly allowed when it was difficulty to travel
about but which the government has re
fused in these days Of railroads.

The Scotland Neck Riflemen are popular
in the county and especially in Scotland
Neck. Besides the $500 appropriated TO-
the*company by the county commission
ers Monday. $3.50 has been raised in
town by private subscription. The town
commissioners yesterday appropriated
500. and last night a most elaborate
oyster supper was given at Hotel Law
renee fer the benefit of the company. 1t
was under the management Of several
ladies in town. and the results were quite
satisfactory, the proceeds amounting to
S115. One interesting feature Of the
evening was the disposal Of fine cake
which was voted to the most popular and
beautiful lady in town. There were 4oO
votes cast, and Miss Annie Kitchin,
daughter of Capt w. II. Kitchin, receiv-
ed the largest number.
The military company has now in hand
about $3.50 which will go towards equip

trouble in giving bonds in this county

4 False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which III some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduas suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage Of the nasal passages and
in fact are incspacitated for work of any
kind for days st time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The

she thought it ungodly to wear them.
She said she had left all her fnery on

Mr.. Frank Hume, Washington:
Dear Sir-Our Mr.. T. Herbert Shrivtr
requests US. to give you the kind OF
phosphate we use in growing corn. We
have no regular formula, but this is
about our process: We have always On
hand pile of sifted coal ashes and on
which we dump the urine from about
seven cows, the coal ashes acting as sn
absolvent for the urine. We also pur-
chase through the county all the drop
pings from chickens, turkeys, &c., and
grind that fine through an old wheat
thresher without the concaves. Before
we want to use we mix thoroughly
through the old wheat thresher, as fol-
lows: About 5 tons urine soaked
coal ashes; 200 bushels of hen manure;
2 tons of South Carolina rock, and 5
tons ofkanit. This is all first mixed up
by shoveling over and over then grind
ing up, and you have it thoroughly
mixed, we SOW this broadcast after
first narrowing the ground for the corn,
then reharrow your ground into fine
condition. When ready to plant fur
row your ground deep, allowing the
loose groupd to fall back into the fur
row and cover the corn shallow. To
save the urine from the cattle, they
stand in the stable over box covered
with Stats and the urine is convey
ed to reservoir where most convent
ent to get at daily: and when the reser-
voir is full, dump on the coal ashes.
We will also add we find kanit used
early in the spring on fall blowing an
excellent fertilizer for corn sown broad
cast before narrowing. l trust the ex
PLANTATION you will find clear, as we are
little used to getting up formulas. 1
beg your indulgence for my incoherent
way of expressing myself.
