POLISHING A BIG BELL.

about bellmaking is, "How much silver
do you put in?' ! have reason to know
this because that was the gist Of my
first query.
Should silver DO used in any large
quantity proportionately to tho other
metals it would not "sweeten the tone, !"
according to the tradition, but would
iniure it, Lead is sometimes used in
small quantities to soften the tone and
silver might answer as substitute in
this case, but it would not do nearly SO
well as the baser metal. Zinc, which is
sometimes added to the copper and tin,

The churchgoing bell long ago ceased

the contrary, the bell founders seem to

lola WILL CELEBRATE.
Come TO lola on the Fourth Of July and
Have an Enjoyable Time, See the

The CALATHUMPIAN PARADE
VIII be Worth Coming Miles to See to
Say Nothing of the Other Amuse-
ments that will be Presented.
GOOD MUSIC AND A GOOD TINE.

Last Friday a self appointed COM
mittee got a crowd together in the
Opera House to discuss the advisa-
bility of celebrating the Fourth of
July in lola. The citizens seemed to
want the celebration but they didn't
have time to push the matter proper
ly, so the Band, the fire company and
the militia company decided to get
together and celebrate. In accord
ance with this resolution committee
on finance was appointed and asked
to see how much money they could
raise and report at meeting called
for Monday evening.
On Monday evening the members
of the committees from each of. the
three organizations met in Campbell
& Christians drug store, when the
committee on finance reported they
had raised about one hundred and
seventy dollars. 1t was then decided
to go ahead and celebrate. Commit
tees on parade, amusements, music,
grounds, etc., were appointed and
set to work, and we can assure you
we will have a celebration worth
coming miles to see.
The chief attraction will be grand
parade in which will appear a bust
ness mems display, the fire company,
one and possibly two military COM
panies and at least one good band.
There will also be good speak ers, a
number of comical races, such as sack
races, potato races, wheelbarrow
races, etc. In the evening there will
be band concert by our home band
and most likely a display of fire.
works. Negotiations are also under
way to have the Fit. Scott militia
company come over, if they do there
will be a sham battle in which about
two hundred rifles will engage.
We are going to have big time
and you want to make your arrange
ments to come to lola. Come early
and stay all day.

THE WINDSTACKER.

Franklin undl Democrat
In our trade and agricultural ex-
changes we note some discussion con-
corning the merits of the Pneumatic or
Wind stacker. We believe the farm
ers of Johnson county, situated as they
are, in one of the best agricultural
regions in the world, are to be
felicitated for their excellent judgment
in adopting improved methods in
farming without being governed by
prejudice or hearsay. To the farmers
of Johnson county, who have been
familiar with the Wind stacker since
its introduction in 1891, discussions at
this time concerning the merits of the
Wind stacker must be amusing.
When they know that they have
straw stacks that have stood for three,
four and five years with the straw
bright and clean few inches below
the surface, they certainly cannot
help wondering why the Wind stack
er could anywhere be condemned be-
cause the straw would not keep. The
geographical position of the county,
the whole of which lies within forty
miles of the capital City of the State,
makes its readily accessible to the
agents of all the agricultural imple-
ment manufacturers. For that reason,
this county is particularly favored in
having the first opportunity to receive
and judge of new inventions. We
suppose the contests by agents for
sales of machinery are as keen here as
they could possibly be anywhere. If,
therefore, there should be any weak
nesses or defects in a machine, the
agents of competing machinery would
be swift to discover them and point
them out to buyers. The fact is, that
a thresherman in this county to-day
without a wind stacker, has very
little to do, and none of them thinks
of buying new machine without it.
Farmers will no longer endure the
disagreeable and arduous labor re-
quired in stacking straw, nor can they
secure hands in busy season to do

ANOTHER BIG SHELTER
After a Careful and Thorough Examin-
alton Of all the Natural Gas Fields
of the State, Decides to
LOCATE AT lola.
Work Will be Begun in a Few Days on a
Plant That Will Cost Upwards of
$4,000 and Will Employ
100 to $50 Men.
AND lola is ALL RIGHT !

Messrs. William and Josiah Lanyon,
constituting the strong and well
known zinc smelling firm of w. d j.
Lanyon of Pitts burg, have entered in
to contract for the purchase of 10 acres
of land lying just north of the Robert
Lanyon's Sons works, and will begin
work within a few days on 1900
retort zinc smelter. Leases have been
received on several tracts of land
within the gas belt, and well will be
sunk on one of these in time to have
fuel ready for the furnaces when they
are completed.
The commercial value of the lola
Natural Gas field long ago passed the
point of argument. That was settled
when Robert LanyOn's Sons located
their great Spelter Works here. 1t
was settled again when the lola Brick
Plant turned the gas into its engines
and kilns. It was settled again when
the lola Machinery Company located
it's plant here. But if it needed to be
settled once more, Messrs. w. & J.
Lanyon have settled it. They have
been very careful and deliberate in
deciding the matter. 1t is nearly two
since they paid their first
visit TO lola, and since then they have
secured the services of experts and
gone carefully over almost every foot
of the gas territory of the State. And
they came back at last to lola, not
because of a larger bonus here or of
any personal pressure brought to bear
upon them, but solely because they
were convinced that the gas supply at
this point is the most reliable, per-
and abundant.
1t is needless to say that the loca-
ton of this great enterprise marks
another step in Iola's splendid pro-
gress. One smelter added not less
than 500 people to our population.
Another will bring at least as many
more. We are fortunate indeed to
have secured such an industry. To-
gether with other things now in near
prospect, it gives almost certain as
surance that the population OF lola
will be doubled within year. This
town is not booming. But it is grow
ing so fast that if you want to keep
up with it you would better come in
NOW!

Barbed Wire for Cuba.

The reported intentions of Spain to
secure peace at any price in Cuba,
even il it involves tho sale of the
island to the insurgents, may put an
end to the plans of General Weyler to
erect new trochas with which to keep
the Cuban revolutionists out of Ha-
yana. But the Pittsburg Times says
he is getting the material with which
to construct them in Pittsburg. The
material will be an American barbed
wire, with extra barbs affixed, and an
order for 2000 tons of 1t has been
placed with the Oliver Wire Company
of the South Side. One thousand
tons are aleady being shipped to New
York for transshipment on the first
vessel leaving for Havana, and the re-
mainder of the amount will be for
wRrded as soon as il eau be manufac.
tured.
The wire will make a continuous
line $50 miles long, and will be
stretched on poles on the outer bank
Of deep and wide ditch. Behind
this the Spanish sharp. shooters will
lilo in ambush to pick off adventurous
revolutionists, and as we'll to stop all
who attempt TO invade the lines OF tho
Spanish soldiery. The order came to
Pittsburg makers through the Spanish
Minister al Washington, Senior
Dupuy dc LONE, an1 is considered
desirable one at this time, when the
demand for wire is light aud the slug
gish condition of the steel market
makes a 2O00-ton order worth getting.
While the wiro in itself is in
single strand, when followed up from
the ore to the finished material it in-
wolves a vast amount of labor to make
II into pigiron, steel billets, wire rods
and wire. and occasions the employ
ment OF II large force OF workmen, to
whom will be paid, in consequence,
several thousand dollars IN wages.

The Height of Trees.

1t has, perhaps, occurred to few of
us that the boughs of trees occupy a
very different position in summer and
winter, respectively, but Miss Agnes
Fry has made careful measurements
of the height from the ground of
branches of both walnut and mulberry
trees in August and December, and
she finds that IN some cases there is
difference of as much as thirty lone
inches in the height of the same branch
from the ground in these two months.
This particular figure was obtained
with Il branch of a mulberry tree, and
il was found that in December u weight
of thirty-five pounds was not sufficient
TO lower il to its summer position.
In other cases there were differences
of from thirteen to nineteen inches in
the distances in summer and winter
respectively of branches from the
ground. No wonder, then, that tho
diagnosis of tree in winter from its
general outline is so difficult a task
