DON,r SELL ALL,

We dislike 70 see some OF the
farmers of the county offering all
Of their holdings for sale. Large
plantations are really a drawback

sess much land has long been a
depressing factor. Lea the places

cannot be taken care of sold to
others. Not only will the present
owners thereby be enabled, BY
sevenues thus derived, to better
care for the remaining property
but will be able to pay the old
mortgages which are keeping them
poor. When they are free of these
encumbrances they will have more
respect for themselves and be bet.

county will become more thickly
populated, and values will en-

NEW YORK CALAMITY.

eopIe on wedding Tour Can.Have the
Best There Ia.
A theater party of single young folks
from a nearby New Jersey town, says
the New York Sun, having dined at the
Brunswick rather early concluded to
utilize the spare time in seeing the city,
and they went to the Madison Square
Garden tower as the nearest point of in-
terest. They were almost too late, be-
cause the time was within three minutes
of six o'clock, and the elevator quit
business at that hour. The attendant
was profuse with apologies, and said he
could only take them to the top Of the
tower, but they would have to walk
down.
One Of the very youngest OF the party,
Auuick-witted, never-to-get-left young
man, who was assuring his fair partner
that they wouldn't walk down, re-
marked, with an expression of great
disappointment:
ssWell, this is too bad-a follow on his
wedding tour to be rebuffed like that :
Instantly the attendant grinned
pleasantly and, after eying suspiciously
the maiden, all covered with bushes,
said. with a Chesterfeldian bow: sThe
