AT ?> ; ? | BLUE RIDGE | PEAKING of New YearV said the Nevadlan, 1 always call to znlod this time of year A. 1 the blowoff we boys give a i young doctor chap who came i op to Bhie Ridge just at the time that . camp was the liveliest to which I might 1 add that though the days of the Ridge ' waa few in the land, as the book ssys, ' while It did last there was no camp oo | the Pacific slope from .^uget sound to t the Rio Grande that cftnld furnish as much fen In a week as transpired In Blue Ridge every twenty-four hours. | "But the sport didnt need no modi- , cine. It waa not aa you might say. a sickly neighborhood, which It seems SSL I nutnxo uxnuss fob m dootob. ' peculiar to remark, seeing aa how we < > bad tbe most likely looking graveyard. ' considering tbe population, as yon > weald find in all tbe Sierras. But tbe ' | cents as populated tbe graveyard waa 1 mostly a lively and bealtby lot up to 1 1 and inclusive oC tbe moment of tbeir > demise. i "That's what tbe boys was speaking of when tbe doctor came into camp. | "Long BUI remarked to me that tbe boys wbo waa hurt ought to make an ' effort to but until the doctor could ar> > ! rive, which would give him a legal 1 claim on any dust they might leave. < ! He was just tbe kind of a chap for tbe camp if so tt bad been that there waa , any trade for him, for be waa quiet, ' nervy, bad more book learning than , the editor and waa cheerful and obUg| ing, especially obliging, for be preached 1 a beautiful sermon over tbe late dealer ; at tbe faro bank, though tbe said dealer i had died of hie wounda before Doc ar> i rived. I "BWW hub u nun we uugut iu kin down In the valley where they were all ! shaking eternally with malaria and lmI port a bunch of the shaken for Doc to | practice on and pay him so much for the cleanup. Ho laughed when we ; proposed this and said It would be un, professional, because he knew the party 1 as had the practice In the valley. "Then we proposed that thereafter, 1 any party dying of his wounds before the Doc could arrive, the said party's 1 effects should be levied upon for a fee . to be paid to Doc. "All the boys agreed to that, and we i got so worked up over the prospect that | a disagreement resulted that very night. In which a Wells-Fargo shotgun messenger blew all the Latin parts out ! of a friend with a ten gimge dock gun, 1 ' which the eame, for purposes of stage ] robbers, was of a sawed off character. < The party as was shot wss mostly ' I missing between his hips and Ite cheat; ' > the remains being only two-thirds, but ws joyfully sent for Doc Just the seme. "Well, he came, and when be saw the state of the case he said as he wssnt an undertaker be couldnt be of any service. "Then we told him of the new rule , and offered him the pile of the de1 ceased, which was In a canvas nek behind the bar. He wooldat take it, ; not even a sample for assay, and the disappointment of the boys was sad to see, especially the shotgun messenger, . whose intentions had done honor to his bsart and aim. "It was a few days before New Tear's that the editor showed as a piece In a San Francisco paper, which was a kind of local notice, stating that oar Doc was going to be married to a lady in that city. That sets as think- 1 | lng. and we thought hard** than ever when the Doc tells us tbtt be waa go* 1 lng to leave us on New Year's day to take op bis practice in 8an Francisco. ' We held a meeting and discussed the state of affairs, having a pretty good , idea of bow the land lay fliisnrislly with Doc, because his money was on , 1 deposit with the express agent and he waa chairman of oar meeting. i "Will a* mAPtlnir va bid ant a.

On the day before New 1 ' Sear's Doe was sent for by Long BUI, , who told bin bis old rbemnatls was i working again like a forty stamp I quarts mill. Doc prescribed, and |! when Bill asked what was the ante I' Doc said It weald be $5. BUI said he'd < -' A ,i-aJ _ hand It to blm when he bid him good* by at th?? stage office next day. Then I sent for IHk- and said that old bullet wound in my leg was on strike again, took ray prescription and promised to pay next day. "I don't suppose any doctor in the world ever bad as busy a day aa oars did that day. It seemed like every man in camp was sick. There was trouble about noon because the boys ran out of names of dlsgpscs, but I went up to Doc's office and copied out a lot of names from one of bis books, and then we kept things booming. Some of the younger boys got stuck on the names of sicknesses I dealt out to them to make a choice from and played the whole deck, which seemed to puxxle Doc somewhat "Well, the next day we met and marched around to the stage about starting time, and there was Doc, looking a little worried, but he looked a lot more surprised when be saw all 11IB yutnui Pi uiuisii.

The old fashioned holiday greens were rosemary, ivy and bay, but In the 2,000 tons of wreathing and decorating material which it is estimated that we now use every year there is a much greater variety.

Hew Year's Calls. New Year's calling in New York was purely the outgrowth of an early Dutch custom, yet strangely enough many of the descendants of the early Dutch settlers fought against the continuance of a practice which they declared had long since passed beyond the bounds to which the fathers limited it and had been made the excuse for great excesses on a day which ought to be given over to the farming of good resolutions. In the early dsys of Manhattan Island the male Dutch settlers every New Tear's day started out aa a matter of duty to visit the bouses of all their friends. The good wives who received them were arrayed in their Sunday finest and bad bowls of steaming hot punch upon the "best room" table. The latter day Dutch descendants denied the punch and said it was coffee. The irreverent latter day champions at New Tear's calling denied the punch also and told their opponents that their forefathers woald not know a punch If they saw It and that tbej dradk nothing bat 111 smeillng hot gin. Whatever it waa that the good burghen drank, they succeeded in calling within the compass of the day upon very family of any note on Manhattan Island. ? ______ A Hew Year** Cytlrat.

TOBACCO OOLTORE. ?r Osmapssinl Hsgg?ala lip#rl> leata Which Might Meeais Praf. liaMe. alitor Ptcm and Banner: A few nigbls ago 1 heard a conversion relative to tbe growth of tobacco ] Ibis State, suggesting thoughts 'hlcb I think worth making public. The conversation waa between two raveling men,suggested by oneaakiug tie other boar was bia trade. The rely was that bis trade waa line In (he lantern part of the State?In the toacco section. He said that where toacco was grown successfully in the tale there waa no such thing as strinency in the money market." He also lated, and I have beard experts fay, hat tobacco could be ?uccee?fuliy rown in this section. That climatic auditions are favorable, and io many laces ibe ?*oil well adapted to the rowtb of tobacco. If this is true why n we not undertake the culture of >bacco on a limited scale? It is not n uncommon thing in Florence, Dsrngton and tiumter for a man to clear lousands of dollar* on lees land than man can work in cotton with one orse. Fresh sandy lauds are best Japted to the growth of tobacco, but ny sandy land with clay subsoil, well irtilized, will produce good tobacoo. I would advise experimenting on a \ mited scale at first, but I think that \ ie experiment should be made by our | eopie where they have land adapted 1 > tobacoo culture. 1 I am informed that an acre of land I xwkIiioh l ikio nouuds of tobacoo, ? ud that at 10c. which in a low price, I i worth $100, or more than the value ? f three bales of cotton. If this la true I ie only point for us to determine is: our laud adapted to it* culture. One other difficulty, however, la that >e culture will have to be general be- i ?re we cau eetabliah a local market for . If our people will experiment geu? ally we could secure au expert to isit the county next fall aod pass . idicmeut on the grade ot our tobacco. I hope tbe?e ttujrgestious will tind dguient with some of our good farmx aud that they will secure seed from arllngton or some other tobacoo >uuty and have tobacco for the mar t next fall.
