How Sleigh BELLS Arc Made,

"The making Of sleigh bells Is quite
an nrt," says an iron founder. "Tho
little iron ball Is too big to be put in
through the holes In tho bell, and yet
1t Is inside. How did 1t get there? The
little iron ball is called the jinglet'
When you shake the sleigh bell it jim
giles. In making the bell tho jinglet is
put inside little ball Of mud, just the
shape Of the inside Of tho bell. Then
a mold Is made, just tho shape Of the
outside Of the bell. This mud ball with
the jinglet inside Is placed in the mold
Of the outside, and tho metal is poured
In, which fills up tho space between
tho ball and the mold.
when the mold Is taken off, YOU see
a sleigh bell, but 1t will not ring, rs 1t
Is full Of dirt The hot metal that the
boil is made Of dries the dirt so that
1t can be shaken out. After tho dirt
Is all shaken out Of tho holes In the
boil the little iron jinglet will still be
In the bell and will ring. 1t took a
good many years to think out how to
make q sleigh bell"

Of the Rose. 1t does not yield us hcav-

not develop such gross foliage 1t can be
planted very much closer. 1t gives
trbers Of a practically uniform size, Is
fine In flavor and Is desirable variety.
as 1t can be used long before fully de-
velOped as well as later.
SO far am inclined to hold to EARLY
OHIO and New Queen for extra early
and also for table and market use.
The New Queen being such Il strong
grower rs well as n grand yioldcr, IT
can be grown far apart and will there
fore not require MS much seed aa some
others. Perhaps OH this account it is to
be preferred for the market gardener.
In the later potatoes there was none
which yielded with tho White bic
phant and Yellow Elephant, yet Green
Mountain is about if E5t quito their
equal, yet there arc marked differences
Green Mountain is preferable in
shape, being more oval, while the Elc-
plants are long and Inclined to be
more or less lrrcgular. The flesh of all
is white, and they arc oil good keepers
J as well Us fine for the table. This sea-
son 1t was no uncommon condition to
find them in our neighborhood yielding
at the rate Of 400 bushels to the acre
and many Of the tubers weighing one
and half to two pouHls> apiece, solid
and fair. ... -. ~.
The White Mountain Is altogether
different in shape from the Green
Mountain, but nearly the same in col
or, good yielder and fine for table.
We cannot yet speak as to its keeping
qualities. -

Tho Rapid Developments OF Gen tral. fss s
Cottages for tho mill town OF the
Isnouoena cotton mill at this place
arc beiug built. The mill is to be a
$2O0,O plant. Col. D. X. Norris,
president of tho Cateechee mill Of
Norris, is president, with strong
board Of directors to help in making
tho undertaking successful. Ground
for the mill would have been broken
before now but for somo trouble
about the titlo for the site. Tue title
has now boon secured and in few
weeks work on the main building
will commence. 3
Messrs. II. B. and J. N. Morgan
have secured subscriptions for all the
capital stock for a $4,000 bank
which will open in time to be ready
for business in the fall ~
The little town of Central fas had
sad reverses since it's birth. When
tho railroad from Charlotte to At
!anta was. completed this station was
found to be midway between those
two cities. All the train crews
changed here 80 they built homes
and had their families here. With
this beginning the town was prosper
ing greatly. About seven years ago
the management Of tho railroad saw
lit to have the train crews change in
Greenville instead of Central. This
was O heavy blow to the town and in
a short time afterwards most of the
business portion was destroyed by
fire.
=. Recovery from these disasters has
been comparatively slow, but the citi-
zens have not despaired. During
the last few yenrs a roller Touring
mill with capital of $1,000 has been
established.
The coming fall a complete Nun
ger system ginning outfit is to be iu-
stalled to be run in connection with
the roller mill. It is to cost $4,000.
The firms now doing business in
the town are as follows:
r. e. Gaines and Gassaway Bros,
dealers in live stock and general sup
plies; L Ross Eaton, general ner-
caudise and livery; j. j.. Brown, gen
eral merchandise and livery; JEFF
Boggs, general merchandise; Il. l..

disc; Jas. Peek, livery; j. N. Wyatt,

hotel and railroad eating house. This
is said to be one of the best eating
houses on the Piedmont Air Line.
The school is the pride of tho pee
pie. The public funds are supple
mented so as to run the school nine
months. Good teaehspa are secured
and they Are~well paid. There are
four churches in town, Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian and Wesleyan
Methodist.
The mountains are in plain view to
the north of the town, and the eli
mate is delightful, especially in sum-
mer. All around are fertile farms
and prosperous farmers. At Liberty
and Easley, stations near here, cotton
mills are paying. So also at Norris.
The railroad facilities are as good
as can be wished, and telephone
lines connect the town with its neigh
bors. If pointing straws show the
direction of the wind, breeze Of
prosperity is coming this way. The
people are enthusiastic over the flu
