"The Cost of Printer's Ink," "The Ideal Delinquent.** "The Advantages of Competitors'* Quarrels." "The Proper Size of Type, and the Pcenliar Bnild of the Eye of Subseribers to Country Newspapers.") "The Foreign I?ead Heat Snliseriber versus the Foreign Advertiser." A Lone Programme Arranged for the Press Assoeiation. Our beloved old friend and comteinporary, Thomas. B. Crews, of the Luuretisvillc Herald, has been appointed a committee of one, to write an essay, or a paper, on "country correspondence," to be read at tlie next meeting of the Press Association. The Press <md Banner has no doubt that his paper will be a valuable one. That appointment, and tlui^ subject are In the line of progress. As the "foreign advertising a^ent" lias been cooked to a turn, suppose some brother write an appropriate epitaph for the "foreign dead head" or "dead beat" subscribers to^country journals. "Dead head" <r "dead beat" "foreign subscribers'* have cost the county printer tenfold more than lie has lost by "foreign adrertl-ing agents." Suppose, then, the President appoint an essayist todiscusss the necessity for country ecltors to have the "largest circulation." If the President would in the name of the Press Association, ofi'era premium for the best "essay on Jtlie cost of ink, firewood, and printing paper," an immense good would be accomplished. If there Is anything that wll' get "next to" a delinquent subscriber to ? country newspaper it is supposed to be an cssay on the cost of printer's ink. Whenever this subject is mentioned, the ideal "deli-nquent" is expected to be moved to tears?and to pay up. It would be exceedingly interesting if the President of the Press Association would ap? point a committee of local competitors to J write an essay on "the advantages to be derived from senseless and vulgar abuse of each other." Of course we do not think that the President could find experienced brethren In this State to flllthiscommitteeand to write this essay. But as the Association has sent to a distant State for speaker, so the President mignt sena 10 a aisiaiu suae iur roimiimremen to write up this subject. Without wishing to indicate a course for the Press Association we hope to be pardoned for one other suggestion: It would be of lasting benefit to the craft, and to the public, If a committee were appointed to find out by what business methods or scientific principles it Is ascertained that long primer type is better for the business of the country printer and the eye-sight of" the reader of a country newspaper than nonpareil, the subject to be divided: 1. If long primer is better for the country newspaper, why is it not better for the city newspaper, which always uses smaller type? 2. Are the eyes of the readers of country newspapers essentially different from the eyes of the readers of city newspapers? 3. If there is no special difference in the eye-sight, why is it that the city newspaper has so long labored under the impression that the smaller type was best? 4. Does the country editor's preference for leaded long primer lie in the fact that it costs less money to fill a given space? 5. Is there any advantage in setting a given amount of matter in large type, so as to cover the apace of a small township? 6. Is there any advantage iu printing a newspaper on two or more sizes of type? In conclusion, we would like to see essays from esteemed brethren, who get mad about these suggestions. They needn't be studied much. Almost anything will do, so it is illnatured, and as these essays might not "keep'' until a regular meeting of the Press Association, the brethren might give us the advantage of their dissertations at once. We stand In fear and trembling, waiting to be shot at or to be denied the pleasure of reading able essays on the subjects above referred to. When Should Trees l>c Transplanted ? In answer to this question the last number of the Colton Plant, makes answer as follows: "The best time to transplant any tree is in the fall of the year, after growth lias entirely ceased, and tho tree has become absolutely dormant." The editor of the Press and Banner being something of a tree-planter himself, respectfully dissents from the answer above given. The best time to transplant a tree if not in the fall of the year. And we think we can account for the error Into which our brother of the Cotton riant lias j fallen : Reason First.?The farmers of the south raollva rnnnnv frnm (fin coin # % f 4 / ? t * in I the Fall, and they put more money in circulation at that season of the year, tli an at any other season. Reason Second.?'The nurserymen being j men of shrewd business tact, believe as a mat. I ter of course, that the Fall is the best season oi'j tbe year toseWas well as to transplant trees I ?and for the best interests of the nurserymen | the Fall is the proper season for us to transplant tree". If the nurserymen waited until j Spring to press their sales, our people would j have no money. Reason Third.?The Fall being the best sea- j son of year for the Interests of the nurserymen, they have announced that season a? | the best, without giving other than speculative reasous, such as, "the tree is asleep," Ac. I and the Southerner, being a natural born gu?l-1 geon, accepts the nurseryman's statement I (which U actually.bared on no other than a business or a financial reason,) as be-ing really the time when there Is less risk in transplanting a tree. We venture, somewhere in the above reasons can be found the only logical, reasonable* n ml npaptipAl Arviltnnnl. on U'hirh to tlie theory that the Full is the proper time to transplant a tree. To plant an "absolutely dormant tree"' and leave it exposed to a thousand and one dangers without any nourishment at all for a] period of four or five months, in wind anil storm, is contrary to reason and enaneous in practice. With all manner of respect for the Cotton Plant we would suggest that to successfully transplant a tree is the simplest job In the world. Wait until the buds are Well sprung in the Spring. Take up the tree, doing as lUtle dam* j age to the roots as possible, cut oil' the hruis-1 ed and mangled roots, except in cases win-re! a strong support may be needed. Then tt ina i oft" the top to a reasonable degree?(by 110 j means trim it as bare as a fodder stack i>ol?-)? , leaving a sufficient number of short limbs, i Put tlie tree u hole of proper size and depth, ' HII im uillh pin), wnil n-inL- nml t linn rutin- on , fill UJ' null IIVll oillif * ? ..v .. j two op three buckcts of water, to settle the soil around the roots. Cover the wet soil | with dry dirt, leaving the tree in a slight de-! prcsslon, and tlic work i.s done. Not one tree in a hundred that is planted in this way will die. Under no circumstances pile up the dirt! about the loot of any tree, until it will run the water ofT. Let the water settle at the root of the tree. A tree that has lust its tap root is , not worth the planting. Such a tree will, grow, and as long as the wind comes from the ' side which has strong lateral root?, all is j well, but when the wind comes from the side of tree where the lateral roots are sear.-e, the tree will fall.

Then the groom and bride look their stand in the opening, facing tho audience, and Mr. l'.arnes, placed himself at the side of I lie groom, and Miss Harper by the side of the bride. The oniclaling Minister, Dr. <\ S. Karnes, agisted by the Uov. W. S.

Mosciy's hotel, j where quite a crown ot tnvncu guests met and otlercd congratulations to iho newly weiled pair. In due time supper was announced, which was found to consist of every tliint; suited to taste of all present, and In su Melon t qualities to have satisfied the appetites of a much larger company. All of this delightful repast was furnished by the parents or the bride. A few hours were then spent in the socialities incident to such occasions, and at a late hour the crowd dispersed, having spent n very enjoyable evening. Having given a some what summary account of the marriage anil the wedding, I will but bricflv, for want of ability, outline the costumes of the most attractive actors on this festive occasion, namely, the brule and her maids. The bride was arrayed in a cream albatross, with diamond ornaments, entirely enveloped in an illusion vail. Her demeanor was dignified and calm, well befitting the oceasioh. Miss Rcdie Harper, cream albatross, tastefully trimmed in watered silk and ribbons, gold ornaments. Miss Willie hello}-, white albatross tastefully trimmed with satin, gold ornaments.

The central figure, tbe queen of this festal occasion, In calling around her her maids of honor, selected those like herself, who might be equaled tint not excelled, and no higher meed of praise could be bestowed upon "the king"and his supporters, than to say that they were all worthy of the position assigned tiiein, being the peers of any to be found. Rain enough last Monday to give the ground a thorough soaking. l'lowlng was interrupted for two and a half I days in consequence thereof. Many of thu planters were very glad to have the rain. Mrs. i.
