IT is not generally known, but
nevertheless a fact, that there are
people still living who can remember
the time when tomatoes were raised
merely for their beauty as we now
raise roses. While its beauty was
considered like the poisonous oak,
dangerous to even handle except by
dark Completed" persons. Years
of acquaintanceship, however, wore
off its superstition and a few fool
hardy" actually owned up to hav-
ing tasted the iruit. From this
small beginning has gradually
grown a use that makes today an
an industry with combined cap
ital Of over thirty millions of dol
lars, which disburses millions of dol
lars TO its employees each year and
aggregates an output OF two hun
dred and forty million cans.

THE increase from three fourths
of a mill to a mill tax for the Con
federate pension fund has caused a
large increase in the amount of
money raised for this fund during
the past year, The amount raised
this year for this fund is estimated
at $3.50, 900, an increase of $75, 900
to $4,000 over the amount raised
a year ago, or in previous years.
The valuation on which taxes were
collected last year was larger than
for any previous year, and the in
crease of a quarter of a mill increas-
ed the fund more than a third for
this reason. Last year the amount
raised was less than 100000, aud
in former years the fund was less
than this.

ALMOST daily do we hear or read
of cases of connubial infelicity and
so serious has the divorce menace
become, that sometimes we are led
to wonder why some man OF wis.

whereby people who contemplate
committing matrimony shall stop
and seriously consider what they
are about Too frequently they
rush into the yoke in haste only to
repent having done so when it is
too late to remedy the trouble with
out working a great hardship upon

To The Patrons Of Our Rural Ere
Delivery Routes.

II Two of our energetic X. F. D. car
ers wish the patrons of the rura
routes in Boone county to consider
the following points in regard to the
service, which are important to all.
When you petitioned the Depart
ment for K. F. d. service you sad
that YOU would keep the roads i,
good condition the year round, anS
not Just a part of it. This is tk
first requirement of the post office de
partment to which you agreed, and
the second requirement was that YOU
buy an approved mail box for the re.
ception for your mail, the box to be
put in n place convenient for yous
carrier, and not over fifteen feet froni
the beaten track of the main road.
The box was to be placed so that
buggy Wheels may pess ""uer box
and not hit either post or box, and
kept clear of all instructions, as
your carrier is not expected to lean
or get out of his buggy to serve th@
box. And then the government will
pay the expense of service and WI
continue just SO long as you appre1
ciate the service enough to fulfill your
part of the contract.
No state law will excuse you from
road duty ON a K. + d. route, UNI
less you break yoGr agreement with
the government, and subject your,
selves to the liability OF a discontin-
nance of your mail service Uncle.
Samis no respecter of persons. He.
does not let some off at 10 years Of
age, or excuse others until they are
81, or some for five or more DAYS
work each year, or for paying some
county officer three or more dollars.
But he demands YOU shall work the
road as often as the need demands,
as your carrier is expected to MAKE
schedule time for the dispatch of
your mail.
Every one who receives his mail on
a k +. d route is a party to the
contract, and is liable to road duty
without warning from an overseers

As place for work, for play, or for
study, there is no comparison between
towns with a ceaseless clamor, and
our town, where the people have learn
ed TO do their appointed work without
the ringing of bells and the beating
of gongs.
This, then, is a town in which one
can live without acquiring nervous
prostration. 1t has every advantage
which other towns have. aud some
which others have not-room, purer
air, aud eontiguity to some of the
most beautiful spots Nature has ever
produced.
Our stores equal those of any town
IN tile state, and prices for living are
much less than can be found elsewhere.
In regard to education, our public
schools have long been the equal of
anything in this section of country,
nor do We take any shame to our
selves that we cling moderately well
