70 Cover Tobacco Beds.

To make frame to put the cotton on !
use for outside, boards foot wide, place
them on edge, let them in the ground
about an inch or so, have them even on
top, make them fit up nicely at the ends
to keep the fly out.
For inside frame to hold the cotton of
the ground there is nothing that answers
the purpose better than small pine poles
drawn smooth with a drawing knife and
fatteneG at the ends Sawed pieces will
do but, they hang the cover. Saw them
of and flatten them at the ends; have
some pieces about 15inches long to drive
in the ground to nail the poles to. As
two esds of poles go on each piece, have
them little broad. Fit ends up so they
will not hang cover in putting on or Off.
Have holes or feet apart and extend
ing length of bed. Sew cotton together
length and width desired.
To put it on have some very small
pine poles-take the bark of, splice them
together the length and width or the bed
tack one edge OF the cotton to this-two
men roll the cotton on the poles BY turn
ing poles-when nearly all is on go to
the upper end of bed-lay the edge of
cotton on edge of frame board-let the
cotton extend over an inch or two-tack
it on by laying narrow pieces of board
on and driving in few small nails
very few nails will do. The two boards
will hold it. Now cover bed BY two men
taking hold and walking on outside, I'm
rolling as .hey go. Let the poles lay
over the front board and their weight
will keep it up. Should fly be bad, ]
would lay some narrow boards on sides
of cover to keep it down, or, if preferred,
might tack them down.
A bed covered this way can be uncov-
cred ssat any time without trouble. The

Messrs. Editors IL see IN the last Is
sue Of the BEACON some one who wanted
TO know how to use tobacco bed cover
ing. You must have the stumps cut
very low, and when you have made your
bed take boards six inches wide and put
around the bed. Make them very tight
BY driving six little stobs for every board;
then put the dirt mp against them so
nothing can get under them ] use six
penny nails and cut the heads OF so
they will not tear the cotton, and drive
on the outside boards about six inches
apart, so you can hook the cotton over
them, and You can take it OF without
any trouble. Put small poles across the
bed to hold the cotton up from TO
feet apart; and any man who uses tobac-
co bed covering once wiz use il again.

The Oak Hall Republican Club has en-
dOrsed Mr.. Philip T. Buckler for School

A young child of Capt Alfred c. and
Mollie Poe, of st. Georges Island, died

Der and expects soon to begin work on
dwelling to replace the one destroyed

The Leonardtown letter mail came

If the Endorsements of the different
Clubs throughout the county mean any
thing the Republican county ticket for
the coming campaign is about nomina-
ted.
We are pleased to hear that Miss Ale
thea Edwards, of Chaptico, who has
been quite sick, is convalescing. We
hope she will soon be completely restor-

Last Saturday there was a fierce easterly
gale which continued all day. We have,
thus far, heard of no serious damage
done by it in st. Mary's. 1t broke up all
the ice in our bays and rivers.
Mr.. Enoch B. Abel is confined to his
house by sickness and Tuesday last, his
brother, Mr.. Charles Abel, acted as Clerk
to the Commissioners Court. Mr. Charles
makes a prompt and courteous clerk.
1t is reported that hotel for colored
