Parents make a great mistake
in allowing their children to roam
the streets at night without their
presence; children soon drift into
bad hats and seek evil associates.
Even little girls are seen upon the
streets at night, no parents should
allow their little daughters to go
out alone.

Breed Only to the Best.

The farmers who desire to SO
cure fine colts should certainly
pay little attention to the char.
acter of horses they breed to this
year. The little money paid out
for first class horse is more than
repaid by the kind of colts you
get. Our advice would be not
to breed any but the best mares
and then breed only to the best
horses you can find. This will
pay you in the end. Now is the
time to look about for the kind
of sires you want. Our farmers
should start to improve their stock
Of all kinds.

The Montevue Pike Being Re-

The authorities of Montevue
are now engaged in repairing the
only pike leading from the city
where You are not confronted by
toll gate. This road is more
generally used than any road out
of our city and it is wise for our
authorities to keep up this pike
and not to allow it to fall into a
mud road. The entire Shocks
town road wants a coat Of stone.
General Baughman has sent his
team and men to help haul stone
on this road.
Messrs. Lakin aud Putnam have
sent their teams to aid in hauling
the stones on the M0ntevue pike
The old common stone mill at the

as our people may enjoy drive
without meeting toll gate,

should do likewise.

Antiquity of Archery.

The use of the bow may be traced to
the remotest antiquity The first notice
which we find of it is in Genesis xxi,
20. where il is said that Ishmael be-
came an archer. 1t was introduced into
England in the reign of Egbert the
Saxon. but was not used as a martial
weapon till the reign of Edward /. The
period at which the longbOw attained
its meridian fame may be fixed in the
reign OF Henry V. whose archers de-
stroyed the whole French cavalry,
clothed in complete steel. with their
yard long arrows. AT the battle of
Flodden Field also the English archers
made sad havoc. Shooting with the
bow was an extremely fashionable
amusement In the reign of Henry VIII,
and Holinshed reports that the prince
shot as well as any of his guard. After
the siege OF Devices in the civil wars,
iG4T, the bow as a military weapon
was entirely laid aside. Archery de-
rives its name from the bow being,
