for the nursery or children's bed
rooms, cut all the white margin off
the picture, then get some thin,
smooth boards IL inch larger all
round than the picture; stain the
boards with dark oak stain about two
inches round the edge; varnish them,
then paste the picture on the board,
leaving an even edge of the stained
wood all round; hang on the walls In
the usual way.

Plus In Clover.

Generally speaking It may be said
that IN acre of red clover should sup
port eight to ten hogs for three to
-FOUR months Alfalfa should pasture
twelve to twenty head for the same
length Of time. Alfalfa should not be
pastured so closely that moving will
not be necessary. The rule should be
TO put on only enough hogs to allow
one cutting Of hay to be taken on dur.
Ing the pasture season.

OLDEST TREE is ON cos

and 10 More Than 1900
Years Old.

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude Of 4S0 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees OF California,
some of which are 2z6 to s7s feet In
height, and 10S feet In circumference
at the base. From measurements OF
the rings 1t Is believed that certain
Of these trees are from 1000 To Z. 800
years old. The Oldest tree fn tha

Cos of the coast Of Asia Minor. Il q
several thousand years old, but just
how many no one has dared tossay.
The tree is carefully preserved By Q
wall Of masonry around 1t, and the
trunk is thirty feet In circumference
But there are parts of trees In the
form Of useful timber which are even
older. probably. than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today, which are known Il
BE- over thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to tho
Christian era are perfectly sound to
day. and It is known that they have
been immersed In water for upward ol
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed In va
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump
many rotting In from i've to ter
years. but when immersed in watel
they last longer than iron or steel
An effort has been made by our gov

railway ties have had their average
life extended from five to ten ysari
by this process. .-Harper's.

In the proper column of this
paper appears the formal an
nouncement of Mr.!Oliver Willis
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Jailer. Mr.. Will
lis was born and reared in this
county and probably has as large
acquaintance with the people of
the county as any man of his age.
He was reared on a farm but for
the last few years has been a cit

ed Town Marshal by the town
Board and served in that capaci-
ty for nearly two years. After
his service as Marshal he was
appointed Deputy Sheriff by his
uncle, A, D. Patteson, high Sher
iff of thisPcounty. 1t is needless

ed up to requirements, a faithful
officer, the people well know.

strong physically, combining all
the necessary essentials for a
most efficient officer. He is 80
years of age, the youngest son
of the late J. J. Epperson, who
was known to a large circle of
people. MIR. Epperson is a Dem
ocrat, a defendant of one of the
oldest and most substantial DEM
ocratic families of this county
and is the first member to ask
his party for a political office.
Upright in his conduct, a man of
adaptability tor the position he
seeks, true to conviction and
principle, unyielding in his devo-
ton to party, yet courteous and
respectful to those holding differ
ent views, his candidacy de-
serves due consideration from
his party. In due time he hopes to
see every Democrat in the county
and present his claims personally.
