Jack f5oo is now on a boom and if its en terprising citizens want to attract people there, - good, permanent schools will do much to accomp lish that end. Bev, T. DeWitt ahnage startled the large congregation at the Brooklyn'' Tabernacle last Sunday by announcing his resig nation of the office as pastor of the church, which he has so faith fully served for nearly a quarter of a centnry. It is understood that the church debt was .one of i i tho principal causes that led to this action on tha part of Pr. Tal znage. - A four year old son of Mr. Ches. ley W. Draper, pf this place, was left in a roomrwith its two year old brother yesterday and before any one returned he had found his faUjerV razor and attempted to shave himself,' bnt after cutting his ear sligntly, qnit, and then tried to share his two year, old brother, which resolted in his niaking an ugly woond on the child's face with the razor.- - i An article is going the rounds of the press to tho eSect that Mr. Don Carlos Harrell, of Drew, Ber tie poixnty, recently married his ninth yjf4. We wrote to onr Drew correspondent coacerning the mat ter and he reports that the state ment is untrue, and that Mr. H&r reli has been married only three times. But-, this eorrection will never overtake the paragraph about the ninth marriage and it will be going the rounds of the press for year or two to come. When the publishers of the pat ent papers get hold of it it will be scattered all over the country and Mr. Don Carlos Harrell will be heard of far and wide. .'mm m ' SALT A ear lot just in ; also a large lot of SEED PATS.

Carkol. Garyiborg, N, C. Jan. 22, 1894. - i ' -1 '' Frontier Life on tire Plains. Ho 2.. pPor tbe Patroa aad Gleaofr.V The re&deri of the Pathos and Gceaxkr, after reading my article io the iswe of January 4, 1694, will eertahaly think the-first settlers on the plains had a very poor house to live in ; and so they do. but they usually build a house according to the means they bring with them. Some will have a small window in one or both sides and perhaps one in the back end, and some will have floor in, but this is a luxury that most of the first settlers coctld not afford. as lumber costs a good deal and bad A sod bouse is a much more desir- able place to live in than a dug out These are usually built wholly above ground and cu have as many doors and windows in as the owner! may desire. A piece of prairie Is broke ia the ordinary way near to where the bouse is to be built. The soils are cut with a spade and only the best sods are taken. The wall will usually be thirty inches thick at the bottom and eighteen or twenty inches tliick at the top. If the settler is poor and a long way from lumber, his sod house will not be much better inside than a dugout; but if Iw has plenty of money be may have a shingle roof on bis building and a floor id it; he may also have built a large room so that be can partition it off into sev- eral rooms with boards ; he may also trim the walls nicely and then plas ter them, for plaster will stick to sod nearly as good as to laths, lie may also have a ceiling over his head. A sod house is the cheapest warm house that can be made ou the plaint?, and they can be made very comfortable too. . I ' A sod house will out stand very good if it is made high, consequently tbey are always low houses, and if put up good may stand eight or ten years, out nve or six years is usu ally the life of a sod house. I am told that William McLeighan. Mem ber of Congress froin this district ived in a sod bouse a few years ago. am hot sure but that he lived in one when he was first elected, three years ago last November. Sod houses are getting pretty scarce ia the central part of Nehtaa- to and KansaUbough there are a few scattering ones yet. I know . x of som 3 families still living in them n land Uat is worth nearly if not quite $20.00 per acre. '- We have a sod hen house. 12 ft. by 20 with a partition of boards ; it is covered with straw, and we think it is the best hen house that can.be , m , made for the money. In parts of the West where stone i 8 plenty the settlers build stone houses. These were laid up in mud and covered with dirt or clay and There are now many nice atooe houses ia some parts of the West, some are nam time stone, bu& moM of them are ei'her sand stone or mag cctia lime stone ;both of the latter are easily dressed as they are not very bard. There is sometimes a red stre ak in the middle of the magnetia lime stone that makes a building red and luereareagooamany sioneiencea where stone is abundant, bat wire is now taking the place of ail other kinds of fencing on account of its CueapoASS. Some of the first settlers would make hog paatures by digging a ditchf then building a sod wall on the out- .iueitteydidnollaat TeryloDgud s . r I were only used where there was no Stone.
