MAKING BRICK.
The new Brick Kiln Is nearly COM
pleted. 1t Dresses Brick and
Goes its own Gait.

Under the energetic management
OF Geo. Til. Smith the building and
machinery necessary to make good
quality of brick, at a reasonably rapid
rate, are now erected and set in order,
and brick are already being pressed
and dried. No firing is being done as
yet, but a firing kiln is to be i'm
mediately built, at point convenient
to the drying kilns; and by the time
the brick are ready for firing the
furnace will be completed.
At present the works comprise a
main building, about forty feet
square and covered by a hip-roof,
which shelters the brick machine, six
drying kilns, about foI .y-eight feet
long and open at the sides. and a
shed or the right of the old kilns, for
the accommodation of the depressing
machines. The main part of the
works is near at hand to the clay pits,
and the business can be carried on
with the utmost economy of time and
effort. The machinery is simple, and
operated by horse power; and the clay
is mixed and pressed as by single
| opc ~ q.
ten or a dozen men are now
employed in putting up the works
and when these are quite completed
and the brick-making, with its clay
mixing, pressing, carting, drying and
firing, well under way. the brick yard:
will again present the appearance of {
busy little city, though, of course, on
a smaller scale than the big concern
| of few years ago.

At a meeting held Saturday for
considering the plan to build new
parsonage, the Baptist society re-
ceived an offer of $3.50 for the old
parsonage including lot about 40x4s
feet. The offer holds good for thirty
days and unless a more favorable
proposition is received will doubtless
be accepted. On a basis of $3.50
capital, the property has been paying
nearly twenty per cent. The sub
scription toward the new parsonage
is already well under way, and a new
home for the minister seems assured.

While the prospects seem excellent
for better prices for potatoes there is
no reason why you should put all your
land into this crop. Diversified farm

if one crop fails, or sells at a low price,
you have something else to fall back
on. Don't plant more potatoes than
you can properly cultivate. 1t will
not pay. -. ...s.-.s,.-. ., ,....e...s

EXCEPTING COUNTIES.

We observe that the frequent practice of past Legislatures in this State of exempting certain counties from the provisions of q general act continues in the present Legislature now in session Ut Little Rock It has grown quite common for q member of the Legislature who is opposed to the provisions of gene ral bill, and who cannot defeat it in any other way, to rise in his seat and ask that his county be except
 ed from the provisions of the bill. In this manner we have a great many laws upon the statute books which apply to only few counties, and if the practice continues it will only be short time until there will be different law upon the statute books for every county in the State. A striking instance is at hand
 During the Legislature of 1895, Q general act was introduced to re quire railroad companies to keep q register of stock shipped In the course of it's progress this bill was
