Notes From HowardviIIe.
COUNTY PRESS.

EDITOR CAMERON COUNI1 L hES5.
Emporium has as many fine young
ladies as any town OF its size in the state.
[ have heard this remarked by number
of travelling men. This week as | was
walking past some stores in company
with travelling man, whose home is in
Williamsport, we were obliged, in front
of one store, to leave the walk and take
the street in order to pass bevy Of
young ladies that had congregated in
front of this one store. Numerous times
| have seen strangers obliged to leave the
walk in order to pass crowd OF girls
coming down the walk, arm in arm,
sweeping everything before them, not
giving particle of walk to any person
unfortunate enough to meet them. /
have had several visitors from out Of the
county, and some from out of the state.
All that have ever walked with me on
Fourth street from the post Office to the
c. B. Howard & Company store have
spoken Of the fine walks, every one Of
them rcmarking the width of this walk
and several have remarked that no town
of this size in the state had a finer walk
wide, considerably wider than the aver
age sidewalk. Yet for all Of the width
[ have seen a row of girls coming down
it that reached from one edge to the
other, and anyone tnat meets them must
take to the streets. [ do not suppose
the young ladies' have ever given this
matter t:lought, and only call atten-
ton tc 1t in a friendly way, for the good
repr,ation of the town among strangers,
as Emporium is visited, in business
way, by people from all parts of the
country. Please do not crowd any one
from the walks; keep half OF even two
thirds, but give enough for a single
pedestrian to pass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rob. Faucet, of Vine
street. have had the misfortune to loose
their baby daughter, dying last Saturday
morning, of acute dysentery. The fun
eral which was held at the house at two
o'clock Monday afternoon, was largely
attended.
On Thursday, Mr.. Charles Erikson, OF
Bitumen, Pa, made visit to Miss
Sophia Anderson, who is employed by
Mrs. E. L. Mason. He is all right.
Mr.. Joe Butler has laid off from work
for week, on account Of bad cnt, re-
ceived from trimming saw dropping
from the fitting anvil onto his leg.
Between now and the fifteenth of next
month is the time to watch the game or
when the game season opens there will
not be anything lett to hunt. We had a
good example of that last fall The law
this season calls for non-residents to pay
license, also all foreigners. How will
this act with the poor Italian? They
will soon be shooting everything in sight.
Keep them down to the open season.
There is chance for the Game Warden
to make fortune this fall. Xxx

Alloys are usually more fusible than
the least fusible metal contained, and
they are almost always heavier or
denser than the average of their un-
combined constituents. A remarkable
exception to both rules is an alloy of
1887 per cent. Of aluminium and BIB
per cent. Of antimony. Both metals
melt at about $50 degrees O., while
the alloy requires a heat of 1850 de-
grees c., and the specific gravity Of
thelatter is only instead Of 5.225,
which it would be if there were no
change Of volume. In other words
7.o7 cubic inches OF aluminium and
1907 Of the antimony produce 2s.71
/ cubic inches Of alloy.

Results.


In the cities, where a majority Of the
inhabitants live in great boxes of
brick, an important part Of any plan
for backyard ornamentation should
be found in the provision of miniature
hanging gardens in the shape of wine
dOw-boxes, says Woman's Home Com
panion.
To secure the best results in window
gardening, care should be bestowed
on the construction of the tiny con-
serVatories themselves. The best boxes
are Of galvanized tin, fitted snugly into
inches in the window-sill or rested
securely upon ornamental iron brack-
cts outside the windows. Convenient
dimensions for a window-box are a
height of seven inches and width ap-
proximately the same. 1t is impor-.
portant that number Of small holes
be provided in the bottom of the box,
in order to insure good drainage. AS
in the case of the backyard flower
beds, care expended upon the soil will
be ewelIrepaid by the results attained in
the floral harvest. Indeed, if anything,
greater care should be bestowed upon
the earthen bed in window conserva-
tory than upon the flower-plots in the
yard. The window-box should be
provided first with layer of broken
bits OF crockery, this covered with
coarse sand and gravel, bits of char
coal being scattered about, then all
the remaining space filed with rich
garden loan.

that President Taylor also urged that
the train be put on.
Mr. Frank Ward, president of the
Chamber of Commerce next spoke briefly
urging that the travel would show that
the train was needed.
General Passenger Agent Ryan then
addressed the committee He expressed
his appreciation tie kind expressions
concerning the Seaboard, and said that
he believed its welfare was bound up in
that of the people along its line, with
whom he believed the road should CO.
operate.
He said that physical reasons stood in
the way of the train desired, as there
were no large towns along the route,
One present trouble, he said was short
age of motive power, and that the train
would be difficult to handle, because Of
this AS to making a trial of the train
for sixty ninety Or one hundred and
twenty days he feared that having one
started it, there would be trouble along
the line if it was stopped
Another trouble he alluded to was the
necessity there would be in the number of
coaches in hauling the two classes OF pas
sengers, the Seaboard not being equip
ped with partition coaches.
He declared that he wished that he
was in position to say at once what
could be done, but said that this would
be in the hands of General Manager Barr.
He said further that If the matter rested
only in taking care of the people Of
Raleigh that the road would be willing
to make sacrifices.
Then there ensued a general discussion
engaged in by the members of the COM
mittee and the railroad officials, the
points raised being discussed freely, and
The feasibility Of partition cars being
urged.
In concluding Mr. Bryan said that in
the near future there would be new
Seaboard train between the North and
Birmingham that would greatly relieve
the situation as far as the larger places
went. This, with the present trains, he
said, would take care of Raleigh on both
sides.
Il will submit the matter to General
Manager Barr with my accommodation. .
he said as the meeting closed, and l
hope to meet your wishes"
The committee left, feeling that both
Messrs. Ryan and Hicks were with them
and that the train was more than pos
and that the outlook for it was
bright.
