What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following the use of liquor, wine
or beer and overcomes that unpleas
ant necessity of being compelled to get
up many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and extraordinary eff
feet of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Long-Stemmed Roses.


matter does not rival nature. The
long, flexible stems that are natural
to many roses constitute not the least
of their charms, besides adding a,
ready convenience to their use in cut
flower work.
Each strain of flowers has way pc
cular to itself of posing upon the
stem, and that of roses, is grace and
dignity combined. The classes differ
essentially in length, construction and
manner of supporting the buds and
blooms upon the stems.
Tea roses are the cleanest, longest,
most flexible on the bush, and as cut
flowers the most pleasant to manipu-
late. Not at all destitute of thorns,
the Tea roses are yet smooth stem
med, in comparative sense. The real
flower stem has no thorns, but as it is
necessary to include the terminal of
the branches in cutting the flowers
with long stems, thorns are included.
Hybrid Tea roses are of the same
clean, smooth long-stemmed nature.
In fact, in this, as in all other fine
points, La France (the first Hybrid
Tea) type closely resembles the Tea
rose.
Polyanthas are lOng-stemmed too
and their own way of supporting the
heavy clusters of tiny buds and witch
ing blooms upon stall<-liKe branches
that shoot straight up, enables one
to secure a bouquet of long-stemmed
flowers, enough to fill a large vase,
with one snip of the scissors.
Hybrid Perpetuals have strong, stiff
stems, and as class are thorny up to
the very calyX that binds the petals.
Paul Neyron is an exception to the
class. 1t is more nearly thornless
rose than any that grows. The almost
smooth branches are bamboo-like,
large, straight and smooth. They may
be cut foot or more, at will, and the
full, shaggy blooms that exceed the
largest paeony (Which flower they
greatly resemble) in size are grand
for display.
Moss roses are attractive in long
stems. The messy covering, reddish
in hue, enriches the stems, leaves and
branches, so that Blanche Moreau, in
snow white and Princess Adelaide in
bright rose, cut with long stems rich
ly enleaved, are fascinating as flowers
and impart the fine effect of decora-
tive foliage. This reddish hirsute, alb
normal state of the glands and bris-
ties of the peduncle and calyx, under
manipulation "soft as silk remains"
The moss seems to be one of the pro-
cesses of nature, held in suspension,
just at that point that beauties the
rose of only the one class.
Noisettes, even the peerless Mare
chal Neil and Refine Marie Henriette,
are not equal to the Teas and Hybrid
Teas, or to the American Beauty type
of Hybrid Remontants, in long flower
STEMS No roses that form blooms at
the axis of the leaves along the rum
ming branches have very long stems.
Where to look for longstemmed
blooms on the running roses is on the
terminus of the branches, particular
ly on new shoots.

it is in advance of Catharine Mermet,
from which it sprung, in every essen
tial except mere beauty. Catharine
Mermet in this respect is faultless.
Bridesmaid is equally as beautiful be-
sides being more free and hardy in
growth and very much more flores
cent. All through the spring and sum-
mer it blooms continuously and forces
for winter with great readiness. The
bright pink tint of the large, beauti-
fully formed buds and very full and
double open bloom, with the kid-lil<e
texture of the petals and long, firm,
but flexible and graceful stems, hold
above the shining green foliage of
this new Tea rose brings forcibly to
mind the Triumph of Luxembourg,
which was the most famous pink Tea
of its day. Luxembourg roses bloomed
in royal splendor in all the old gar
dens Of the South. Occasionally they
are seen yet; but why rose of such
splendor should have dropped out of
notice is one of the unaccOuntable
caprices that popular favor has ever
manifested toward men and things.
No rose of any class has been added
to the lists within thirty years that
surpasses the once famous LuXem~
burg. Bridesmaid bears it close re-
semblance. To one in happy possess
sion of the beautiful memories of the
old gardens of the South, the florists
windows and floral stalls in the
French market in New Orleans on
Easter morning, filled with lovely
pink Bridesmaids, on long stems, with
the roses own lovely green foliage
surrounding each, were almost a re-
turn to life of the Luxembourg roses
of times "before the war;
The demand in New Orleans at
Easter was second for Bridesmaid
roses, after the first demand for Ber-
muda, or true easter lilies" 1t is
stated that seven or eight thousand
pOtted plants of lilies in bloom failed
to supply the demand. Bridesmaid
roses were limited in number. Great
banks of pink, like sunset clouds Of
summer day, and long-stemmed
buds of perfect beauty with the full
flush, crushpetaled open roses on
yardlong stems, gracefully adorned
with the dainty green leaves which in
this, as in all Tea roses, are
bright and lustrous, awaited the
grasp of eager hands; and, with the
tall, white tranquil lilies, freighted
with perfume like the breath of in
cense, converted the florists windows
into perfect shrines of floral offerings.
There are other long-stemmed, ever
blooming roses that are lovely, not
only in the form and fashion of the
flower and in the exquisite porcelain
tints that the Tea rose copyrights, but
in graceful poise on long stems, that
enhances the beauty of the growing
flower at home on the bush and be-
slows an added value to the outflow
ers, for whatever purpose designed
Long stemmed, er-blooming Tea
roses, without a blemish, are includ-
ed in the following list of new and old

Eureka Events.

Special Correspondence to the Banner.
we were somewhat disappointed in
not getting more news from Tallahas-
see through the Banner last week.
Mr.. Editor, We are anxious; keep Us
posted, please.
Miss Sarah Priest and Miss Ella Me-
Rae are attending the Fort Mccoy
normal. We are informed the school
IS a great success. 1t could not be
otherwise, though, with Mr.. J. T. at
at the helm.
We are very DESTROYS of seeing a
road overseer in this section a few
days. The crossing at the Eureka
ferry has become uncrossable, and
work is needed on this side of the
river. Your scribe has seen several
teams fail to get across the river. We
hope some one will attend to this.
The bridge across Mill creek, two
miles north of Eureka, has become
very dangerous on account of rotten
boards. There are quite number of
boards completely rotten, and holes in
the bridge that horses can step
through 1t will be bad il some poor
farmer gets the leg of his horse broken
on account of negligence on some
body's part.
1t is astonishing to see the amount
of corn that was sold here between
April - and April 80, or in eight
days. Alex. Holly sold 100 bushels Of
corn, 10 bushels of oats, 1900 pounds
Of hay, besides bran and cotton seed
meal in large quantities. And there
are other merchants here handling
grain; do not know how much they
sold in the same time. How is that,
brother farmers? But, judging by
the loads of syrup, rice, sweet pota-
toes, poultry and eggs, the balance
will keep o. k.
Well, here we are as poor as church
mice, taxed until half the land in the
county is advertised each year for
taxes, and what are we doing with the
tax money? Sending men to the leg
isIature at s. per day and whole
retinue of clerks at S. day-to do
what? Make good and wholesome
laws to protect our hooking birds
while they destroy our fruit. That is
right, Bro. Hartridge-yOu look after
the birds; the courts can look after
themselves. You bet they can, ard
the common people that send you
there can keep on plowiug and vot-
ing, but it may not always be for bird
legislators. @. W II.

THE RYE CROP is SHORT.

New York. Sept. ga disappointing
rye crop is indicated by final re urns to
the American Agriculturist. Instead o.
some 5000, 900 bushels expected from
earlier indications the crop OF the Uni
ted States figures about 5000, 900
bushels. 1000. 900 more than last year,
and 1000, 900 less than in 1895 and 1894.
The increase is mainly in Pennsylvania,
the western crop being quite disap>
pointing. Latest European crop ad-
vices are confirmatory OF serious short
ages in rye, and especially in Russia.
Germany's rye crop seems to be some>
what larger than earlier reports indi-
Gated, but reduced estimates for France
and other countries barely offset this.
The stocks OF rye at home and abroad
are lower than for years. and export de-
mand for American rye continues very
active. Except during the fall OF 1895
and 1896. rye has lot been so low as at
present since before 1890.
