AN ORANGE GROVE.
Modern Methods In CuItfvatfng the
Gold of the Orchard.

You are certainly entitled to look
through that wire fence and see all that
constitutes an orange orchard. There
are 200 round headed trees, about
twelve feet in diameter. The fruit
looks immensely as If it had been arti-
ficially put in place. Really those
would pass for 200 Christmas trees.
Does nature do this sort of work any
where else? You forget the cherry trees
in your northern orchard. You have be-
come SO familiar with the scarlet glob-
ules that hang all over those trees,
with orioles and robins shouting APP
prevail, and tanagers with indigo birds
sitting in the apple tree overhead, that
you cannot fully see and appreciate the
charm. But you certainly have not for
gotten the glory of Mcintosh red ap-
pie tree in October or indeed whole
orchard of ripe Northern Spies, Spleen
burgs and Kings. Yet the orange has a
glory all its own. 1t is the gold of the
orchard. You thought the trees grew in
groves. but here they are in long. reg
ular rows That was a word borrow
ed from the wild oranges that in Span
ish days came up where they might
and were seldom transplanted. They
grew as those wild persimmons grow
at the edge of the orchard or as pines
and NAPLES grow. But your modern
orange trees are grown in long rows to
be cultivated with plows and horses.
The real orange tree should stand
about twenty-five or thirty feet high.
with trunk of five or six inches, Its
foliage is dense and rich green. It is
grand tree to sit beneath at midday
and drink the juices of the fruit instead
of water-it is distilled perfectly. But
these trees are round and low headed
and one must stoOp to get beneath
them. They are made Of the CRATER
shoots that came up around the old
trees after the freeze They are more
convenient to spray, to protect from
the blizzard, while the fruit is more
easily gathered. You can walk all
about that orchard and reach half the
fruit without ladder. 1t is a good IL
lustration of how good sometimes
comes out of evil.
different shapesw To be sure.
There are quite as many varieties of
oranges in this orchard as there are of
apples or plums in most of your north
ern orchards - fifteen or twenty. at
least. The grower knows them all by
name and can tell them all by the
shape and the quality. He does not go
at random and pick any fine big orange
for his own eating, but he takes his
selection-the King. or the Homosasa,
or the Jaffa, or the Ruby. or Parson
Brown, or Satsuma. or possibly the
tangerine. He fills his pocket with Sc
lected varieties and then goes to that
pine grove over there and peels them
as he lunches. 1t is very much as we
do with our pippins, and Swaars, and
Princess Louise, and Jillifiowers.-In-

Russian Jnthrift.

A condition of general unthrift among
the peasants is one of the most striking
features of Russian country life. Ev-
cry stranger passing the frontier be-
tween that country and Germany is
struck by the marked change in this
respect which he encounters up to the
very boundary line and which the geo.
graphical position does not at all ac-
count for. There is no gradual change
in the appearance Of the face of the
country or the people from compare
tive prosperity to extreme poverty, but
a sudden difference in the conditions
marked by totally dissimilar methods
of cultivation, dwellings and habits of
thrift Everything on the German side
indicates careful cultivation and indus
try, while upon the Russian side the
fields show bad tillage and neglect,
squaltd houses, inferior and uncared

An Old English Custom.

The nomination of sheriffs according
to the present mode dates from 1461.
The ''shire reeve" was first appointed
by Alfred the Great to assist the alder
men and the bishop in the discharge of
their judicial functions in the coun-
ties. In Edward Ills reign it was en-
acted that they should be ordained ON
the morrow of All Souls by the chan
cellor, treasurer and chief baron Of the
exchequer." The only instance of fe-
male sheriff is that Of Anne, countess
Of Pembroke, who on the death of her
father, the Earl of Cumberland, with
out male heirs in 1643, succeeded to the
Office in Westmorland and attended the
judges to Appleby.

features of his countenance were exag-
gerated. His nose and chin nearly met
from the lack of teeth; his cheeks were
sunken and wrinkled, his eyes set so
far back in his head and SO obscured
by shaggy, overhanging brows as to be
almost invisible. He usually wore a
large wig. from the midst of which his
attenuated features peeped out with
comical effect. For years before he
died his weight did not exceed ninety
bounds.

pATRoNIzE HOME 1NpusrRY.
An Establishment that is Making
Good--A Story With a Moral.

One day recently two ladies
drove ten niles to Walhalia for the
purpose of purchasing "Issaquena"
hosiery, the product of the Oconee
Knitting Mill, and they returned each
with one dozen pairs. They had pre-
viously made trial purchase Of this
hosiery, and being more than salts
fed with the Quality endeayored to
secure the same kind from their near
SO. Then it was they took drive of
ten miles to the home Of the "Issa-
quena" brand and got what they
wanted. Probably no piece of goods
has gained public favor more rapidly
than the Oconee Knitting Mills "Is-
saquena" brand hosiery, which has
been on the market but a compara-
lively short while. Another brand
that has also )een most favorably re-
ceived is the Cotton Blossom" half
hose, the product OF the same mill.
This is finding ready sale locally and
at distance. There Is a moral to
be drawn from the fact that the two
ladies took the trouble to drive far
out Of their way to get what they
wanted, and that Is that 1t pays a
merchant to keep what the people
want. But that Is not all, aside from
deal easier for the merchant to pat.
ronize the home mills than 1t Is to
buy from distant points. We are too
prone to go long way and get less
for our money than we could at
home. The Oconee Knitting Mill is
now turning out 700 dozens of pairs
Of hose and half hose, finished, per
day. The September sales amounted
to little over 1000 dozens. On the
18th of September the trade mark Of
"Issaquena" was allowed by the gov
ernment, and now that brand of the
Oconee Knitting Mills product Is put
out under the registered mark. The
mill is working full time and giving
good employment to many hands. 1t
is home industry that deserves the
patronage Of the people of Oconee
county, and the example set by the
two ladies referred to could be we'll
followed by the public with profit.
Patronize your home industries, no

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do
not for a moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Every one knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by a cold,
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t Is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in a cold than In any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made 1t staple article Of trade
over large part of the world. For
sale by j. w. Bell, Walhalla; w. j.
Lunney, Seneca.

"THE WISE AND oTHERwIsE...

The greatest skill was displayed in
the modelling of goose by Miss An

Tongue, in a few words to the con-

Walhalla on possessing such artistic
talent; also, "It Is a wise artist that
labels his production, so that the
general public might not be misled,"
and that he was thankful fer the
forethought and kindness shown him
in labelling the different objects.
