To dare one to a thing is an in
cipient form Of sending a challenge for
mortal combat, and is often criminal
in intent and disastrous in result. On
m of the hottest days Of July a youth
with a frozen arm was received at a
Jersey City hospital. A confectioner
had offered a plate Of ice cream to the
boy who would hold his arm longest in
the chopped ice of the freezer. The
prize winner lost his arm; all the eff
forts of the surgeons did not avail to
save it. To accept a dare is not 20

The Liberty, Mo-, Advance says: "a
peculiar but sensible courtship is in
progress at Excelsior Springs. The
mother believes that a girl should he
admired just as she is, instead of as
she appears arrayed in finery and arti-
fetal ornaments. The young mar in
this case is allowed 90 call only just
after supper, and instead of being
shown into the par!or he is taken to
the kitchen, where he is permitted to
watch the girl, dressed in working
harness, wash the supper dishes. This
will be a happy marriage. Indeed it
will-if the girls mother stays with
them right along.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Interesting Meeting Held Wednesday,
Handsome Strawberry Exhibit.
The Society found such plea SAINT
quarters last month with Mr.. Jno.
L. Jones, that the May meeting was
held in his office Wednesday morn
ing, May II. The interesting
features of the meeting was the
strawberry exhibit. What this
exhibit lacked in quantity it GER
tainly made up in quality, for it
would be hard to get together finer
lot of berries.
Mr.. Rainey showed Tennessee
Prolific, Beder Wood, Candy, War
field, Bubach, Michel, Crescent,
and also fine bunch of Palmetto
Asparagus.
Mr.. Meroney showed Cumberland,
Sharpless and Bellemont.
Mr.. w. f.. Vaughan showed fine
bunch of Mammoth White Aspara-
gus, the beauty of which was noted
by many.
1 am satisfied that few persons of
Maury County realize that in the
Horticultural Society we have a
veritable experimental station.
There are several thousand varieties
of strawberries, and members of this
Society have tested many of them
and discarded scores as worthless;
vet dozens of persons within hailing
distance of where the Society met
are investigating, hesitating and
wasting money for plants, not know
ing what variety they want and
where to get it, when look at the
varities shown, and a taste, would
have settled the matter at once, and
an order could have been given for
plants, which you would have re,
ceived free of express and in good
growing condition. Others do not
know how to set plants and how to
tend them, and consequently fail to
raise even a few berries for home
use. In this Society are men who
have made a success of growing ber-
ries, and they are under obligations
to assist any other member who
may not know how.
Many have never known the real
pleasure of having posted man on
the floor and having the undisputed
right to have him answer any and
all questions you may want to ask,
Next month we will have tina;
privilege along the line..' of varieties
of raspberries and how to grow
them. Possibly you are not grower
of raspberries, vet have some ques-
tions you would like to ask. Come
to our next meeting, and by asking
your questions you may assist some
one else who would like to ask the
same questions, but hasn't the
courage.
In the near future we propose
devoting part of our time to dis
cussion of dairy products, food fol
dairy cows, fertilizers, the growing
of grains, etc. This, we trust, viii
make the meeting valuable to
large number and more valuable tC
all. r. A. SPELLMAN, Sec'ty.
