Mr. Editor: I will attempt to give
you a few item* from our little Tillage,

possibly I might write you
again.
The farmers are quite busy preparing
their lands and some are
. planting. The merchants of our lltJ
tie city have entered into an agreerment
to rlose their stores at 6:30
p. m. lygL .ng April 17th, except
on Sat^ffcys.
Our merchants seem to be doing
a gumi business irom tne appearance
of their stores; last Saturday
evening you could hardly get waited
on, the rush was so greut. Mr. W.
N. Ashe is running his brick plant
on full time with a large force of
hands. He says business is good In
his line. Mr. J. A. Hyatt is also
running his saw mill on full time
and cannot furnish all the orders
that come to him.
At a meeting of the trustees of th
Van Wyck graded school the present
teachers were elected for another
term.
Our school has done good work
for this year and It is to be hoped
that our present teachers will accept
the school for another term and continue
their splendid work.
Professor A. B. Lindler, principal,
and Miss Athalee Nesblt, assistant,
are making preparations for commencement
and we bespeak for thein
a splendid success. Program will bo
announced later.

Why Fish Are Near-8lflhted.
As a result of a number of experimental
studies, scientists have found
that the eyes of lish are relatively
large in comparison with human eyes;
a fish's eye is ordinary about ono-ttventleth
of the length of its body, while
that of a man is from one-sixtieth to
one-seventieth of the height. It is believed

(Tea and Coffee Staina.
Old tea and coffee stains are somelimes
extremely obstinate and require
^ great pains to remove. Wet the stains
' in oold water then noak them in pure
glycerin, wr .h out in lukewarm water
and iron on the wrong side until dry.

A common reaidenco under the samo

the precise wording of which changes p
with almost every quotation, has never' P(

to Stephen Grellet (1773-1855), an a
American QuaJcer of French birth; to t<

found in clearer form, together with a

The most natural time for the eliininative
process is in the morning \||p
when both the muscular and nervous
systems are relaxed by sleep and
rest. When relief does not come
readily, it is an excellent plan to take
a mild laxative at bedtime. Cathartics
and purgatives, that by the violence
of their quick action shock and
disturb the system, should not be
employed.
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not gripe or otherwise disturb the BHSflP
