One of the ore towers
than the past. We have new candidates
every meeting night to introduce, also
new applications. We are looking for
ward to having a big day the last Satur
day
in August, as the Woodmen of
the World log rolling association will
meet with us, and every Woodman of
the World camp in this district will be
represented here. We want to make
this one of the big days.
Members, you know how to make this
^ big day, get right down to work. I
^ant all camps to be well represented.
Remember we meet every Wednesday
^ight. Be sure and attend. Visiting
n^embers welcome.

Plant a lot of cucumbers. Pickles are
going to taste good around about
Thanksgiving. Pick them when they
fre little, and wash them and put them
jars, pouring over them a cold mix
ture of vinegar, wesson oil, and sugar
^nd mustard seed. To one gallon of
Vinegar use one large can of wesson oil
^nd a pint of mustard seeds. Put the
®eeds on a layer of pickles, pour on
Some oil, more pickles and seeds until
the jar is full of pickles, and fill up
''vith vinegar. Seal in tight jars with
^‘ubber rings. (Molasses will do instead
of sugar.) Put the sugar in the vinegar
two pounds to a gallon.
It is interesting to see the newly set
plants, as well as the older ones grow
ing after the slight rains of some days
ago. But, oh that Jupiter Pluvius would
come again! It is dreadfully dry and
the gardens are suffering.
Mrs. W. A. Burdette, on Walnut
Street, is utilizing all the tendable soil
around her home, by growing flowers
and vegetables. Her garden is already
producing beans, peas, and beets, while
her tomatoes are among the best in the
town. Mrs. Motes, also on Walnut
Street, has a nice large garden which
deserves mention.
Spruce Street also affords a number
of good gardens, especially those of Mrs.
Good and Mrs. Chrisco. These gardens
have especially pretty beans, peas, and
potatoes. But whose gardens can sur
pass those on Nantahala? Mrs. Book’s
garden peas, carrots, onions, lettuce, and
especially her cabbage are especially
good. Mrs. Valentine's onions and pota
toes, Mrs. Butner’s and Mrs. Funk’s
potatoes, and many other gardens show
that the people are getting good returns
for their efforts.
Mr. J. S. Johnson, at the Farm House,
is getting fine onions, lettuce, peas,
radishes, and cabbages, with tomatoes,
snaps, potatoes, beets, and cucumbers
coming on.
Mr. Carl Williams also has a fine
showing of corn, cabbage, potatoes,
onions, and beets.
One of the finest gardens in our town
is that of Mr. and Mrs. Reed, at 32
Kirk Place. They have a splendid va
riety, including spinach, (By the way,
our apologies to Mr. Arthur! We omitted
spinach in referring to his garden in
the last issue.)
Speaking of variety, you should see
Mr. T. V. Kendall’s outlay, at 145 Pine
Street. This is undoubtedly one of the
most bountiful gardens, and one of the
best looking, that we have. The follow
ing is his list: Okra, Irish potatoes,
corn, parsley, California Honey Dew
melons, tomatoes, pimento and cayenne
pepper, lima beans, carrot, beet, celery,
onions, cornfield beans, squash, lettuce,
English peas, bunch beans, radish, cu
cumber.

“Do you want a job diggin’ potatoes?”
asked the farmer.
“Yes, provided it’s diggin’ ’em out of
gravy.”
Interesting meetings of the Ladies’
Aid Society have been held lately at the
homes of Mrs. Leo Gabriel and Mrs. L.
J. Collins. The society meets next time
with Mrs. D. L. Parish, on Maple Street.
Mr. Beers killed an owl one night not
long ago; we don’t know if that affected
Mr. H. C. L. or not.
Mr. James H. Devereaux has returned
from Jacksonville, Fla.
