NEWS NOTES FROM ANDREWS.
New Lights and Fire Engines
Farmers Gloomy over Drought.

Andrews, April 11:-Our city IA
theirs have bought for the town of
Andrews two fire machines, one FOR
East Andrews and one for West
End; also we have our little town
beautifully lighted. We have only
the oil lamps, but of a superior quail
ity. This makes quite an improve
ment at night. When our town
taxes are collected a great many
more Improvements will be made.
The severe drouth still prevails in
this section. Our farmers are de-
spondent over this condition and
fears are expressed on every hand of
not being able to get the crops up.
An old and respected negro, Aaron
Jones, died near town on March %.
Old Daddy Aaron, was well thought
of by white and colored neighbors
alike. He was true and tried DEM
ocrat all of his life, having voted
and stood by his party in the trying
days of>1S76. He was always looked
upon as hard working, honest and
upright in all his dealings. This old
negro left considerable property,
which shows that the colored race
can live here and be respected, as
their leader, Booker Washington, has
advised them in several of his ad-
dresses.
Mrs G w Harrelson is still very
ill here in town. The family has the
sympathy of the entire community
in this hour of trouble.
A fish fry at Potato Ferry bridge
was enjoyed by a number of people
from here Thursday. We understand
that there was an abundance of fish
provided. Fine music was rendered
by the Harpers string band. Those
who attended say it was a very en-
joyable occasion. The river is very
low and fish are being caught in
abundance.
Last Saturday, the 9th inst, the
home of Mr. and Mrs D o Bruorton
was made happy by the arrival of a
little stranger"-a boy. The happy
father is all smiles.

Roads in Congress will incorporate
in the appropriation bill about
to be reported o clause, prohibiting
the Postoffice department from
furnishing stamped envelopes with
the names and addresses of in
dividuals or firms printed on
them.
We hope that the report is
true. Long enough time the
Government has allowed the Post
office department to compete with
job printers throughout the coun-
try, practically putting many
of them out of business so far as
printing envelopes is concerned.
It seems to us that the Govern
ment has no more right to print
stamped envelopes than it has to
sell hardware. or hats or shoes or
any other article of merchandise
in competition with private in
dividuals.

A citizen # the new county, in
a letter. to Attorney General Lyon,
characterizes the recent primary
election as "one of the dirtiest
ever held in the State" and alleges
that both liquor and money were
freely used. These are serious

there may be a shaking up among

fireplace itself was prettily set off with
background Of green pine boughs and

After an exchange Of greetings all
gathered around tAe fireplace and while
the entertainer read aloud the touching
passages from Our Mutual Friend where
Lizzie Hexham reads the pictures in the
glowing freight for her younger brother.
Afterward paper and pencils were dis
tributed and each was asked to write
a short description of the picture seen
in the fire on the present occasion. There
were no specifications, each one writ

Directions For Administering Medicine
TO the Animal.
The bottle most commonly employed,
md the best glass bottle as regards
shape and strength, is quart cham
payne, but a better appliance still is
the tin drenching bottle sold by the
agricultural supply stores. 1t cannot
be broken and is provided with an air
hole which secures a steady and even
how of medicine from the neck.
In administering the dose the com
mon practice Is to straighten and
slightly elevate the head by grasping
the nose with the foreflnger and thumb
OF the left hand. but this is calculated
TO interfere with respiration and is I'M
necessary except in the case Of very
rough animals, which are certainly
rendered more arnenable to reason by
this grasping Of the muzzle.
A much better plan with the quiet
animal is for the person giving the
medicine to stand with his back
against the right shoulder OF the COW,
slightly tx the head to the right and,
passing the left arm over the face,
place the hand in the left side of the
mouth with the fingers against the pal
ate, and give the dose with the bottle
held in the right hand, introducing
only the nozzle and allowing the con
tents to run out with continuous
steady flow.
Where an assistant Is necessary to
the holding OF the animal he should
stand on the left side and grasp both
horns, or II the beast is very unruly
take the right horn in the right hand
and grasp the nasal septum firmly
with the left, turning the head in the
direction Of the administrator on the
right side Of the animal and avoiding
too much elevation.
With very rough or wild cattle an in
strument for grasping the nasal sep
tum, called bulldogs" is employed,
but a couple Of determined men can
generally give the drink while this in
strument is being fixed Generally
what may be called the quiet method
is the easiest and most expeditions,
and the expert manipulation rarely
needs any assistance in the dosing

Why Church Psws Are Empty.

A well.known clergyman, the Rev
erend w. T. S. Lumber, contributes an
illuminating article to Suburban Life for
December, in which he ridicules some Of
the reasons often advanced for staying
away from churc hon Sunday. He says;
Thousands who once attended the sub
urban church now cover themselves with
dirt and grease and vexation of spirit,
in a long, wild rush through scenery
they don OF see, and. irreverently, call
it worshiping God. The working man,
who is so tired when night comes he
can hardly stand, must play ball on
Sunday; the clerk, who has been on his
feet all week, and grown very weary,
must teach his white and delicate fin
gers to twirl the golf stick on the Lords
day, and get the kink out Of his legs
and the cobwebs out Of his brain; the
rich man, or the would.be rich man, who
has more afternoons and evenings than
he knows what to do with during the
week. must deaden his ennui on the
sabbath day by a couple Of hundred
miles spin" in his automobile. These
are some Of the reasons for the decline
in Sunday worship in suburban
