Flowers il Glass Vases.

Certain flowers, such as roses. hello
.trope. mignonette, etc, look best In
glass. but the glass should be plain.
not cut, nor in any way ornamented.
Roses are never lovelier than when
seen against this crystal background.
IL using glass, however. great care
must be taken to keep the water
fresh. since If only slightly discolored
the perfection Of the whole is marred.

FRUIT CROP.
Peaches and Apples Fine and
Plentiful.

Peaches are selling at s. and SIPS
per bushels. They are very large
and:mostly free from defects, as far
mers are learning to take care of
their trees. The small peaches that
are gathered from trees in fence cor
ners and elsewhere on the farm, are
hard to dispose of at any price.
The prospect for apples is very
promising, but there is no demand
for them now. Later when peach
es are gone, fine apples of every
kind will be on the market. The
smaller fruits that grow on trees may
termed a total failure, though
grapes are quite plentiful.

WEATHER
Mercury Dropped to 81 Degrees
Friday Night.

For the first time in about three
months weather clerk w. F. Randle'
received thanks from the people Sat
urday for the weather he gave.
Friday night the mercury in the,
tube registered 81 degrees. This
was drop of about 40 degrees in
"a hours.
1t seems that both the drouth and
excessively hot weather are about
over. We always have some hot
days in September but cool nights.
If the weather clerk is really as
charitable as he has the credit for
being, the man who has been asking
for so long, "Is it hot enough for
your" will have % frame a new
question for everybody. We have
had enough of the good old sum-
mer time"

CHAS. M. MEACHAM, Mayor:
August q, 1913.
On motion, the report was receiv-
ed and filed, to be given considera-
ton after the report Of the Park
Committee has been submitted.
The Mayor also asked that steps
be taken to secure a construc-
ton of the law governing city in
debtedness. the question having been
raised that the school bonds of 1910
and 1912. amounting to S66, 900, were
chargeabe as a current debt against
the $50, 900 general fund revenues of
1913 and no legal contracts could be
made in view of that fact. A bill

chase. in a different class from street
improvements. After discussion.

inquiring friends will know how l
enjoyed my trip to North Christian
this time. walked out the Quicker
Mill road, meeting two bankers on
the corner of Main and Seventh
streets. asked them to go with
me. One remarked that he was
afraid h would never get back, and
the other said he was Just in from
the country and had visited the
same section | was going into and
enjoyed his trip fine. So it was not
long until was out of the noise and
buzz Of factory wheels and had walk
ed eight miles from the city. This
section was dotted with neat farm
houses and well kept farms. Most
all Of the timber has been cut for
various purposes. AS | sat down to
rest under large spreading oak |
thought some one must have repeat
ed to the woodman to spare this
tree. 1t sheltered me In my extreme
youth and agaia it did me a similar
service. AS the sun was setting |
stopped at farm house to spend
the night and sat down in the yard
to wait for supper. Watching the
farm hands bringing their tired
teams from the fields of labor and
hearing the girls sing as they go to
milk the cows adds much to the
.cheerfulness of farm life.
After supper all rural labor was
hushed and the shades of the earth
were covering the woodland. The
large owl came forth to say who!
Who! are you?" As lay on my bed
/ thought
Such a dear little street it's nestled
away
From the noise of the city and heat
of the day.
Next morning, leaving the old
Highland Lick road, l travelled due
North and after going some distance
met some tie hacks. Making in
quiry as to where the road led | was
told it led to Grab All. Then where?
| asked. To Lick Skillet, was the
reply. Where then? | inquired.
To Frog Level, thence to Frog
Hop, l was told. Then where? |
asked, and was info med that it
went all the way to Rabbit Ridge.
l found myself, after a six hours
walk, just twenty-four miles from
the city and in a section where many
barrel of moonshine liquor has
been made am sending you here
with part of a barrel stave from
one of these deserted distilleries.
Since wiling the above l have de-
cided TO spend few more days in
this section and will report the rest
of my vacation trip later and | will
have lots of good jokes to tell my
friends when | return home.
