dit will open for business In a compile
OF months and after several months
will develop into banking house.
Stock will be offered TO the people OF
the town and county and one OF the
strongest institutions of the town is
assured.
No organization has as yet been
formed but this will be done in a
short time and the officers will then
be announced. 1t is probable that one
of the best bankers OF town will be

place and the men who formed it were
shrewd enough to see the chance.

Soft Compared With Well Water
How to Make 1t Even More Soft for
Household Purposes.
Recently an inquiry was sent TO the
Experiment Station about the COM
paratiye hardness of the water supply
of Morgantown. An analysis Of this
was made by Dr. c. D. Howard and
he makes the following report upon
1t. It will be seen from the report
that we have nothing to fear from it
either from health standpoint or on
account of it being too hard.
The report is as follows:
1.-THE hardness of the city water as
drawn from the tap In the laboratory
averages about degrees Clark-fue-
tuating more or less according to the
stage OF water in the river. Clark's
scale is the one usually employed in
designating hardness and means per
English gallon {parts IN 10000 Of
carbonate of lime or its equivalent
in other salts Influencing water hard
ness. The test is based on its action
with a standard CASTLE soap solu-
ton. In the scale of hardness, any
thing under is designated soft, $40
medium, above 10, hard. The Mar
tinsburg water supply has hardness
of about IL.
"The best method adopted to soften
ing the Morgantown supply is in
the use of carbonate of soda accompa-
uied by boiling. For this purpose,
o. of the dry salt or one pound OF the
washing crystals per 1000 gals. are suf-
ficient. Sanitary examinations show
the supply to be a good article, and
in point of safety, vastly preferable to
any well in Morgantown without
execution .

Why cannlbaIs Eat Men.

All children who are now going to school
have read about how Mr.. Stanley went
into the jungles of Africa to hunt Mr..
Livingstone. of whom most all treated
him very kindly. Now that Mr.. Stanley
no longer travels in the dark. wilds of
Africa, there are other men who do 60
and sometimes meet just as strange things
as did Mr.. Stanley.
The party under the command of Mr.,
Woelfell, which recently went into the
same country, the dense forests back of
Ivory Coast, in West Africa, found num-
Der of cannibals of different tribes. They
live only about 12O miles back from the
coast, and are near q French post, and il
is strange, too, that they are so near, for
cannibals have seldom been found in At
RIGA so near the coast. AS a rule, they
do not live whiting 500 miles of the ocean,
and most of them stay still further away.
When the white men who were with Mr..
Woelfell found these strange black men,
and asked them why they ate human flesh
instead of beast flesh, they replied that
"men usually wash themselves three times
a day, and therefore, are much cleaner
than beasts. which are never washed
These natives have guns and can get
powder from Liberia, but as lead is most
always hard to get. they often use stones
and gravel in place of bullets.
When Mr.. Stanley sent Captain Coquil-
hat to garrison the station he had estab-
lished, he found the people always ready
to defend their practice of eating men.
This is horrible" said Mr.. Coquilhat,
one day to chief who was at dinner.
ION the contrary, it is delicious with
salt" was the quick reply.

February Is about gone, and we North
Georgia people have not had but one or
two days this year that the wet land would
admit of blowing.
In the early days farmers expected to
plant corn by the tenth OF March anyhow.
According to present appearances tney
will be cutting wood and making fires with
not a furrow turned at that time, instead
Of planting corn.
II has been a steady business to keep
fire and keep warm in front OF them,
after you added fresh logs and fresh
lxindnng to the chunks. Not a green
sprig is seen in the garden, the
freezes have been so frequent and SO
deep all winter.
The rye pastures are but little more
promising than a week after they were
sown last fall.
The mules are eating up good corn and
fodder and the plowman sits by the fire.
The festive husbandman is actually worn
out doing little or nothing.
Hunters are still chasing the rabbits
over the bare wind-swept fields, and II
crows were good to eat, they might pro-
vide game plentifully by killing crows, for
they are in evidence.
The only things which seem to be ire
pressible and indefatigable are the Eng
fish sparrows. They chirp every time the
sun comes out, which is not often, as
you all know.
III IT ever gets dry enough to risk a
stroll in the fields, I have promised my
self I'll fire every patch Of broomsedge l
can reach. 1 get more than tired when
can see nothing but bleached cornstalks
and yellow broomsedge abroad on the
landscape. I used TO ride horseback and
drop the blazing matches on the waving
grass and watched the flame as II cleared
the soil OF the unwelcome straw, but
lost my trusty saddle nag and must now
do the work on foot or set somebody else
at the task in my place.
I shouldn't be surprised If we jump from
winter into early summer when the cold
weather ceases. We may be reasonably
sure that a sudden break will come In
this hard wintry weather one of these
days.
A kind, good friend sent me some nice
eschalot buttons and some multiplying
onion sets, and l feel impatient occasion
ally to see gardening begin, but this Is one
winter when everything stands still and
waits on icy weather.
But I have my pencil and writing pad
and can talk to hundreds and thousands
OF dear country home readers while the
east wind bowls around the home and the
COLI rain beats against the outside walls.
II is not so bad, but 1t could be much
worse. We will thank God for home shell
ter. a good fire and health enough to en-
Joy all these blessings.
