Now is the time to die. A gigan-
tic coffin trust is being formed out

trappins will be sky high.
If you feel "out of Sorts and ap-
pear to have the blues subscribe for
The OUTLOOK. 1t will make you

There is some talk Of incorpora-
ting Flat Creek. Why not, and
break up some of these gambling
dens and thin out this existing nu-
isance of dogs2 There are about
forty-eleven of them.
II some in this ne ighborhood we're
rs proficient in governing their
families and Themselves as they are
in meddling in the affairs of others
they would save themselves and
others a great deal Of trouble.
A man may live to hive stars in
a nail keg, put the sky to soak in
a rain barrel, hang old ocean on q
rail fence to dry, unbuckle the bel
y-band of eternity and let the sun,
moon and stars out, but he can't
escape hell unless he pays up for
his paper.
Miss Annie Roberta Hamilton,
the popular daughter Of George G.
Hamilton, who 10 attending school
at Mt. Sterling, invited her botany
class out last Saturday TO a picnic
in the beautiful woodland near this
place, and a very pleasant day was
spent gathering wild flowers, swing
ing and drinking iced lemonade.
Our subscription school under
the care of Miss Lizzie CarmOdy
has closed on account of being re-
duced to two and three scholars.
We sympathize with the children
to think their parents take no in
terest in their future welfare, and
are raising them up in ignorance
for the gambling dens and grog
shops.
Prof. f. C. Kimbrell, Of Jeffer-
sonville, has taken passage on the
life boat and leads off on the road
to peace and prosperity by sending
us a big silver dollar to have his
name added to the great procession
of OUTLOOK readers. Mr.. X. in
forms us that his wife has declared
that she can't live without The
OUTLOOK. When Mr.. Kimbrell and
his good wife climb the golden
stairs they will find the gates ajar
and crown and harp awaiting them.
So here comes, and may you both
live a hundred years, to continue
the practice Of reading the best
county paper published.
The recent cold winter has in
some respects proven beneficial to
the farmers Of this place. 1t has
killed many a bug and obnoxious
insect, and on the other hand has
frozen a great amount of potatoes
and onions that were buried in the
ground. The prospect for plenty
Of apples looks promising. The
peach buds are all killed, and We
will likely have very few il any
peaches in the State. Worse than
this, the trees are badly injured.
The freeze has discolored the wood,
and these should be cut back Sc
verely. If old trees be cut back to
stubs 6 or 8 feet high. II young
trees cut so az to leave stubs Of
branches about 6 inches long. In
other words, dehorn the trees. If
the trees have bursted eighty then
cut off the bursted bark and cover
with grating wax. If the bark has
loosened all around the tree, or so
far around that it cannot recover,
then cut the tree of at the ground
and let sprout grow and make a
tree. We saw the above tried by
old fruit raisers while in Missouri,
with satisfactory results.
