For Hardening Steel.

Another accidental discovery, a
new process for hardening steel
has been made by Thomas A. Edi-
son, Jr., who is following in the
footsteps of his father. A COM
pany with capital stock of ST.
100000 has been incorporated in
West Virginia to exploit the new
discovery. 1t is claimed that the
new process has given wonderful
results in all the tests yet made.
While it costs less than onehalf as
much as the Harvey process, it is
claimed that 6-inch plate treated
by this process is superior in the
matter of resistance of l5-inch
Harveyized plate or a plate treated
by the Krupp process. 1t is claim
ed too that the process pernseates
the whole thickness of the iron
and not merely shell of an inch
or so at the surface, as in the Har-
vey process. 1t may also be ap-
piled to copper the hardening of
which was considered lost art. 1t
may be used for preparing armor
as well as machinery. A razor
hardened by it last summer still
retains its edge and glass hardened
by the process cannot be scratched
with diamond.-The Patent Rec

Where Is Best Assurance of True
Happiness.

There are two classes of people
that are antagonizing in their
imaginations. The country man
thinks if he lived in a city, life
would be 80 pleasant to him, while
the city man longs for home III
the country where he can breathe
the pure air. raise his vegetables,
chickens, fruits, etc. One that
has tried both will agree that a
nice little home in the country,
neatly painted, with flower garden
and evergreens around it affords
the greatest pleasure to the
wandering mind.
My countrymen look after the
ir, :ove ment of your home, do
not neglect to paiut your buildings.

It seems to be universally the
case that the old or middle age
class don't take any part in the
Sunday School. This is a great
mistake; how do you expect the
young people to patronize some
thing which you care nothing for7
A good Sunday School is the
very backbone of The pulpit and
when you see a church without q
Sunday School, you see one with
mighty near no preacher. don't
mean to say that the preacher
made it so, nevertheless, its the
case. The best way in the world

interest the people IN that COM

Tobacco Culture at Trenton.
DEAR ADVERTISER: The tobacco

DEAR ADVERTISER: The tobacco
farmers at Trenton have met with
disappointment, but it is their
own fault. They have made fine
tobacco, as good as has been made
in any section of the State, and
yet, while others were getting
from 10 to 20 cents pound fol
tobacco, they have sold theirs fol
| two and half cents. They, in
common with some fruit men.
have made the mistake of ship
ping to parties who were allowed
to put their own price on the
goods.
If a man had a horse for sale,
would be ship the horse to Char
lesion to a broker with instruc-
tions to "grade" the horse, to sell
him to the highest bidder, to take
out his commission, and to remit
the balance? If any one were to
do that, his neighbors would put
him down as a fool, yet that ia
about what some tobacco planters
are doing.
The broker could grade a $3.50
horse, fine driver, as common
plug, worth about $35. He could
sell him at the latter price to a
secret partner who could sell him
at the higher price and they could
divide the difference, who can say
that that is not done sometimes
with fruit and tobacco7
The Trenton tobacco growers
shonld stop shipping their tobacco
to North Carolina and Virginia
parties who pay only two and q
hs,f cents a pound. They should
renta tobacco warehouse in which
to store their tobacco, and they
should invite buyers to come to
Trenton to lay in stock for their
factories. 1t is in that way only
that the tobacco growers can get q
fair price for their tobacco. But,
as a matter of fact they need not
be dependent on outside buyers at
all. Why Lot manufacture Tren-
ton tobacco here at home? The
men who grow the tobacco can
manufacture it and they need
go to very little expense. No plant
whatever I believe is required to
manufacture cigars, and the ma
chinery for making smoking to-
bacco can probably be purchased
for less than $100-certainly for
less than $500.
There is q building near Ebe-
nezer church which with little la
Dor .ould be fitted either for to-
bacco warehouse or a tobacco fac
tory, and perhaps it would answer
the purposes of both.
Let the Trenton tobacco grow
ers call meeting and decide upon
/ a plan of action. They could or.
,ganize-acompany with o capital
8 30, diviasd into ares e
$50 or $100 eacn. That amount
would secure the lease of a suita-
BILE building and purchase all the
necessary machinery for the man
ufacture of cigars and smoking
tobacco.
If the people Of Trenton will
wake up and do something. this
town will soon become q tobacco
market, a manufacturing center,
real estate will advance 100 per
cent, and the contents of the Horn
of Plenty will be poured into our
laps.
