LosT.-On Monday, Tor So in bank

some person finds the money and re-

merry Christmas will be but dream.
1t is estimated that one county on
the eastern shore of Virginia, contain
ing population of about $4,000, sold
this year 800, 900 barrels of Irish pota-
toes at a profit of $1,000,0O0, which
means that every man, woman and
child in the county would be entitled
toreceive, if the money were distribu-
ted pro rata, something more than
$75 from one crop alone.

bunion: First soak the corn or bun
ion in warm water to soften it, then
pare it down as closely as possible
without drawing blood and apply
Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice daily;
rubbing vigorously for five minutes
at each application. A corn plaster
should be worn for a few days, to pro-

liniment for sprains, bruises, lame

unequaled. For sale by all dealers.

of his arrival here and reception by
the people of the town the following,
which was published in the current
issue of the u. b. TimeS:-''I arrived
in this beautiful town Oct. 10. Nv
goods came in Monday the 21st. Mrs.
Scott and Gertrude came on the $50
train, Wednesday, the 23d, and we
went to housekeeping Thursday. We
found good church, and splendid
people who have shown us the greatest
kindness. The society put a stove in
sitting room at $500, one in parlor.
$1,000, a range in kitchen, 500 90,
papered two rooms, $11.O0, and owed
for papering, $14.00, total, $500. On
Sunday, Oct. 81, we asked the people
to pay this bill and they gave $107. 90.

There is a growing tendency to
make the country homes of this
county more attractive in outward
appearance. This is as it should be.
and a more marked tendency in this
direction would be of great benefit to
the individual as well as the public.
The time has gone by when the belief
obtained that good barn paid for
ITSELF but good house was a poor
Investment. The inmates of the
home are now regarded more highly
than the live stock on the farm. The
boys and girls are recognized as the
best products of the farm, and en-
titled to neat and attractive surround
ings. We have heretofore spoken of
the deep influence exerted upon for
nation character by its environment.
and if the young people on the farm
find nothing to give them delight in
their homes they cannot be held at
fault if they get up and leave the
farm as soon as they are old enough.
