Economy in Buying Seeds.

Economy is not paying less money
for thing than you expected to pay.
True economy is good management,
and about the worst management a
farmer can be guilty of is to buy
cheap seeds and thus cut the value
of his crops in half-or worse. A
stream cannot flow higher than its
source, and crop cannot be any bet
ter than it's seed. Real seed economy
is buying seeds that bear the stamp
of house that is known to be relia-
bic; then the planter is absolutely
sure that lie gets what he wants and
what he pays for. In every part of
the country dealers sell the abso-
lutely reliable seeds Of D. NJ. Ferry
e. Co., of Detroit, Mich, which have
given uniform good results for the
last II years. Ferry's Illustrated
Seed Annual for 1898, containing
information that no farmer OF gard
ener can afford to be without, will be
sent free to any one making applica-
ton to the firm.

St, Stephen's Church Burned.

Yesterday between 1890 and l
o'clock, flames and smoke were seen
issueing from the belfrey of St. Ste
phen's Lutheran church and IN
almost an iucreditab]e short tine
the entire building was wrapped III
flames. The origin Of the fire is one
of those impenetrable mysteries that
will never be solved. The opinion OF
those who first arrived at the scene
of confsgration is that the fire started
ia front of the church somewhere in
the neighborhood OF the stairs lead
ing to the Masonic hall in the upper
story of the building. The Masons
met last Saturday but had no fire.
The Lutherans had services both
Sunday morning and night at both
of which they had fire but the stove
was located in tie rear Of the build
ing and if the fire started where it is
said it did the fire could not possibly
have originated from the stove.
The building was erected in 1870
on the site OF the former building
which was burned by Sherman
bummers in 1865. 1t was erected
jointly by the members of St. Ste
phen's and Lexington Lodge No. 132
A. F. NJ. and since then the first
floor has been used by the Lutherans
as a place of worship and the second
floor by the Masops as lodge room.
Such rapid headway did the flames
make that it was possible to save only
the organ, stool, four chairs and two
Bibles from the lower and nothing
from the upper floor. The loss Was
complete and there was insurance
upon nothing. Ihe Masons lost in
furniture and paraphernalia about
5000.
1t is but proper to say that The
Sunday school lost everything IN
Guiding valuable library.
Grand old st. Stephens is laid in
ashes and no more will the Gospel Of
reconciliation be preached within its
sacred walls. We trust, however, a
better and more modern building
will shortly be erected whore this
congregation can worship their God
under their own vine and fig tree.
We have been requested to an
nounce that until other arrange
ments can be made, the members OF
this congregation will worship IN the
Episcopal Chapel, at the usual hours
which has been kindly placed at
their disposal by Mr.. c. S. Bradford.
