Table Manners for the Young.

The editor of the Rossville News gives the folio wing advice regarding table manners which should be carefully considered ::
 Do not drum on your plate with the knife and fork or kick the table with your feet. Never stand up in your chair and at tempt to stab a potato with the fork you might fall down and splatter the gravy on the wall.
 Do not wipe the knife on your tounge; use the table cloth or wipe it on your sleeve. Don't put the knife in your mouth at all j; you might accidently cut a slice off your tongue or slit bigger gash in your face.
 Of late years it is considered hors de playhouse to call attention to hair in the biscuit by asking whose it is; this is said to retard digestion. Likewise, in remov- ing a oockroach from the cream pitcher do not mash it on the table cloth with your knife; this also casts gloom over the exer- cises. It is also bad form to fool with the cat during meal.
 In making requests for chicken always call for the part that gets over the fence last. This is an old joke that was used by Noah's children with great success.
 If you are taken with a fit of coughing when your mouth is full of grub stick your head under the table or better still insert it in the woodshed. This will save the other members of the family the annoyance of removing gobs of hash from their eyebrows.
 When grace is being said and the older members have their eyes closed don't kick the shins of your little brother near you or attempt to swipe piece of cake. You are liable to be troubled with hot flashes proceeding from a big warm hand if caught.
 When soup IS served don't run the spoon half it's length down your neck and initiate the noise of a suction pump in full blast, thus disturbing the police in the next block and causing the neighbors to turn in riot call.
 In passing the gravy bowl should you get your thumb up to the first joint into it's contents, don't stick it into the mouth to remove the surplus, but put the thumb between the sleeve and coat giving it 8 few turns and it will all come off.
 After helping yourself to sor- ghum never lick the spout with your tongue; you might run the dingfod on top in your eye and cause yourself needless pain.

We, the farmers and tobacco growers
of Breckenridge county, today, in mass
meeting assembled, IN pursuance to a
call published in the Breckenridge
Democrat, and in consideration of the
fact that dark tobaccos, the kind chiefly
grown by us, are selling at prices which
make their production Improbable and
impossible, do here resolve:
1. That the producer of tobacco
should have voice in fixing its, and to
a greater extent in controlling its price.
4. Not to sell at present prices.
3. II we believe that there is an over
production that we will curtail the crop,
for the ensuing year or years.
4. That these resolutions be put be-
fore the farmers of the county through
the mediums of the News and the DEM
ocrat, and that the farmers are advised
to hold school district meetings at 1
O'Clock Saturday, February II, and that
they send instructed delegates to ex-
press their desires; said delegates to
meet at the courthouse IN Hardinsburg
on the first Monday in March at
o'clock, at which time the expressed
will of the growers will be embodied in
more ample resolutions.

JERSEY CITY, y. j., April 5.-For
hours firemen bAttled with fierce fire,
fed by gallons OF Oil, which started at
the branch supply station of the
Standard OF company at Fourteenth
and Monmouth streets and threatened
to wipe out large section OF the
city. Three 400 gallon tanks exploded
the warehouses and stables were de-
stroyed, and it was only after hard
struggle that the flames were kept
from spreading to several large fac
tories across the street. In a barrel
factory connected with the oil COM
pany's plant the flames were discov-
cred, but they had gained such head
way that before the foreman, James
Stevens. turned in an alarm and the
firemen responded It was seen that
neither the factory nor the warehouses
could be saved.
