Children's Day at Fellowship

sunday was observed by the
Fellowship Sunday school as
Children's Day, and one full of
interest and pleasure to the 800
persons present.
The people of the section cf
country known as Cottage Hill,
Fellowship and Blitchton, have
developed great friendly emula-
tion along the line of conducting
their Sunday schools and num-
ber of years ago inaugurated
Children's Day, which is now
religiously observed and marks
an epoch in the organizations
highly condllcine to the growth
OF the schools and in maintain
ing interest in their attendance.
AS an evidence in this direction
we need but state that few
years ago the interest in contrib
uting to the support of Sunday
school work became so great be-
tween Fellowship and Blitchton
to see which school should be the
larger contributor to the cause,
that several young men became
inspired in wrecklessness and un-
der the pressure of divine eyes,
threw in their horses and bug
gies, and one young man, over
flowing with enthusiasm from the
touch of humanity divine hand,
lay his bank account of 81, 500 at
the disposal of the fair solicitor,
if it was needed to have Fellow
ship distance Blitchton in the
race of carrying the day and be-
ing at the head Of the Contrib
uting procession" That young
man Was Robert Seckinger, now
gathered to his fathers, "peace
to his ashes," but whose virtures
will long be cherished and his
memory remain green in the
hearts of the members of Eel
lowship Sunday school.
But to the exercises: At
eleven o'clock the scholars form
ed in the school house adjoining
the church and to sweet strains
of music marched into the
church, where Mr.. Jack McCully,

gan the exercises with singing,

AN INTERESTING TALK
With Mr. j. M. Meffert, of Lowell i'm
Which He Says There is no Place
Like Florida For the Poor
Tan.-With a. Little Thrift
Anyone Can Prosper.

It is refreshing to talk to a
man like Mr.. MefTert, Of Lowell,
because he is one Of many who
has demonstrated several things
in Marion county, namely: that
this is the best poor mans coun-
try on the face OF the earth.
He came to Marion county more
than a score of years ago with
only his hands, wife and a willing
heart TO earn a livelihood. He
began at the foot OF the ladder
rs u day laborer, has continued
to climb ever since, until now no
man in the county can show
more substantial evidences Of
thrift and prosperity, though
like hundreds and thousands of
others, he felt keenly the loss in
1lictcd Oh his labor and posses
Sions by the disastrous freeze of
1885. Today he is q successful
fruit and vegetable grower, oper-
atcs the most extensive lime
and saw mill in the county, is the
leading merchant Of his place,
employs more laborers than any
man in his line Of business and
with it all is and has been a sue
cessful farmer for years, has
grown all the grain and hay
necessary to feed his stock and
fattcn his hogs and one, the first
mill man, to say it paid to grow
his feed instead Of sending money
north for it. This season he har-
vested twenty acres of fine oats,
has fifty acres of fine corn, to
say nothing of pinders, sweet po-
tatoes, etc.
AS an Indicator OF the business
Mr.. MefTert is doing in lime and
lumber we need but say he has
shipped from Lowell station since
the 1st day Of January to July
1st 94 solid car loads, to say
nothing of partial cars of lime
and lumber, and the large ship
ments of vegetables of which he
is successful grower.
Such men are the salt of the
earth and by their industry and
frugality, make our lands pro
duce as garden spots, furnishing
employment to scores Of men and
creating a volume Of business
that is truly wonderful, What
manufacturer or employer Of Ia
Dor can show a better record?
All such men need is the hear
ty, honest and fair cooperation

DISEASE GERMS IN BOOKS.
Methods of Killing Them In the New
York Public Library.


York Public Library.
Science takes the well thumbed vol
ume dear to our ancestors, forgets all
The pathos in it and finds instead germs,
and most people would confess that sen
timent comes little dear when it car
ries typhoid or diphtheria along with it.
Such, at any rate, is the opinion of
the authorities of the New York Public
library. For some time DR.. John S.
Billings, director of the library, has been
experimenting in order to discover a
perfect disinfectant. Last year Mr.. Hor
ton, under DR.. Billings direction, con-
Quoted a series of experiments i'll the
latter's laboratory in Philadelphia. A
number of old patent office reports
We're inoculated with bacteria, and in a
short time the books We're full of germs
of measles scarlet fever, smallpox and
other diseases.
Trials We're then made of various germ
destroying substances, and as a result
of the experiments Dr. Billings says
that he has perfect disinfectant in the
gas formaldehyde. The volume is placed
in glass or metal box with a saucerful
of a solution of formalin i'll water and
left for an hour or two. At the end of
that time the vapor has penetrated into
every particle of the book, and not a
live germ can be found.
The process will be used in the circu-
lating department of the New York
Public library, and the patrons of the
institution may ease their minds of any
fear that the volumes they borrow may
bring the dreaded germs of diphtheria
or typhoid fever into their houses.
Bibliophiles, too, will be glad to
know that the formalin will destroy the
croton bug, responsible for the ruin of
so many fine bindings in this country.
The traditional bookworm is now a
rarity in America, but the croton bug
has taken its place. Ameri-

An Automatic Pay Roll.

In the making up of a pay roll, as at
present DONE with few exceptions, each
mans time must be multiplied by his
rate of pay per hour. Where fractions
appear, either in time or rate, a consid-
cradle amount of mental effort and time
are necessary, and considerable chance
of error is introduced. A new invention
is intended to obviate these chances of
error and greatly economize the labor
required for computing wages. The
manufacturers of the machine have cal
culated all numbers Of hours, from l to
300 per week, at all rates of pay, from
So to $21 per week, and arranged these
values i'll such way that the operator
may set the machine and read the re-
suits directly, with no mental effort or
chance of mistake. The auditor of a
railroad company which has given the
machine thorough trial states that one
man with the calculator can do the
work of four men without it-Engi-

1t cannot be too much insisted upon
that the would be inventor needs, first
of all and more than all else, knowl-
done, what is being done and what
means and facilities now exist for the
doing. He should often also know of
the failures in the line chosen and the
reasons for the failures, that he may
not waste his time wandering in the
wilderness. The existence of the invent
i've faculty is not to be assumed i'll adj
vance, and no reliance is to be placed
upon it until after the achievement.

Simple Way to Sterilize Water.

Professor Bilslik says that water may
be sterilized in five minutes by adding
to it bromine and that bromine may be
then neutralized by adding ammonia.
The river water of Berlin has been test
ed 200 times. After being treated with
bromine and ammonia all germs of dis
ease were destroyed, including those of
cholera and typhoid. A gallon of water,
it is said, may be sterilized as follows:
First add to it drops of the following
solution: Water, 100 parts; bromine,
20 parts; potassium bromide, 20 parts,
and then after five minutes add drops
of a 8 per cent solution of ammonia -

The Richmond county board of super
visors has awarded contracts for nearly
20 miles of macadam roads to be built
on Staten Island and to cost nearly
5000, 900. The roads are to be completed
this fall, and, with those already under
way and completed, will make rs miles
of macadam roads on the island.
Besides these contracts several towns
on the island are preparing to award
contracts for the building of roads
through their towns, to cost in the
neighborhood of $500, 900. These roads
are doing more to build up the island

beaten the Arlingtons and Pacifics and

further will be done by the police in the

been disposed of.

There is lots of interest in the game to
be played on the Central ground tomor-
