(Continued from first page ) ny things are showing forth long before the twenty-first day, when the calendar tells us the sun enters the constellation Aries, and spring begins with no ticeably increasing periods o: light and heat I found one fa miliar friend, the Skunk Cabbage, in bloom about a month ago: and on the same day, viz. February 23rd, a half dozen Silver Maples laden with blossom. No tree comes into flower earlier than the Silver Maple. The Red Ma ple may be the next, but there is always the chance that the White Poplar will beat it The next tree to flower is the Ameri can Elm. When we think of the next flower, it must be Chick weea, nepatica, mooaroot, or Spring Beauty:-or, it may be Dandelion, or even Quaker La dies, or Innocence. I found Dan delion yesterday on a sunny hill side but no others, except a patch or two oi uiicKweea, which is a. m i said to bloom every month in the year. All these plants grow in Fulton county, and I wish my botanist friends would keep their eyes open for their earliest bloom, which should be prior to Arbutus. Then I wish to request you all to look for Viola rotundifolia the round leafed violet, which is the earliest of its class. You will find it on rocky, wooded hillsides close to the ground who will send me the first one? And please let all my botany friends remem ber that I am at their service to endeavor to identify for them any plant they may send me. The only cost will be the payment of the necessary postage. Now, go to work and acquaint yourselves with many wild flowers this sea son. You will not regret it BILLY SUNDAY. Dear Editor, it is a dificult matter to write from Philadel phia at this time and say nothing about the most momentous thing now happening in it I refer, of course, to Billy Sunday and his work. He is the most talked-of I person in the City, and rightly so; for he gives opportunity to all persons, of all classes, to pro- - - 3 A . nounce judgment, iavoranie or otherwise, upon him. He has many friends and many enemies, the latter being composed chiefly of Catholics, Jews, High Episco palians, Unitarians, Brewers, Sa loon Keepers, and Tobacconists- a fine combination, truly. Most Protestant denominations support him, and despite his oddities and eccentricities, he has done a won derul work here, and many souls that never would have heard the call in a city church, have truly "hit the trail" under Billy's preaching. It is a pity he must leave us, but the work he has so well started will likely go on with joyous effect This modern Bab ylon needs a Billy Sunday on ev ery corner-the Devil has the up per hand, and Billy has not only fought him tooth and nail while here, but he has showed minis ters how to fight him: there will be fewer wishy-washy sermons hereafter. A spade will be called a spade; the rumseller, the intel lectual highbrow, and the ex ploiter of the laboring man may not occupy so high seats in the congregation hereafter it is to be hoped, at least that God's true people may find a place where they may go to worship Him without being looked upon with disdain. I regard a city church as a poor place for the Christian, at best He is lost in the crowd; does not receive the fellowship he needs; is not ministered un.to spiritually by the minister of the Word. It is no wonder to me that there are backslidings the wonder is that there are not more of them. Billy Sunday has filled the churches, the Sunday schools and the men's Bible classes it remains to be seen whether or not his spirit, which is the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, shall remain long with them. We hope for the best; but we know the weak ness of human nature, and how much more pleasant it is to most of us to live to please our friends and neighbors than to strive for that vital union with our dear Christ which lifts the soul above the things of earth, and gives us a foretaste of what will be when His glory shall appear.

Smith had finished their evening chores everyone seemed surprised when Mrs. Smith's brother, D. Riley Garland and wife came driving in, tired from their journey from Clearville, but when there seem ed a multitude of neighbors and relatives pouring in all at once which on being enumerated, num bered fifty-three. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to understand that the morrow was Mrs. Smith's birth day and that their friends had gathered to celebrate the day ap proaching and incidentally to drop a flower in the pathway of both. When the long table had been set ready, they beheld oyster and chicken swallops, roast ducks and roast chickens, cakes, pies, can dies, fruits, and well, the table could not hold nearly all the good things. After supper had been served, Mrs. Smith met the display of the tokens of love and good wish es from her friends, presents both numerous and valuable. A tri bute in verse to "Mother" by her daughter, Miss Blanche, was read by Squire Downes. Ap propriate remarks and prayer was offered by her pastor -Rev. A. G. B. Powers after which it was noticed the hour was late and the crowd began to disperse. WATERFALL On last Sunday, Misses Maye Gracey and Jessie Catchall visit ed at A. R Edward's, Ethel Her sbey at David Miller's, and Ross King, wife, and mother, visited at Albert King's.

Two million dollars, for example, will support more than 2000 families of moderate income for a year. Two million dollars will buy more than 200,000 barrels of flour, more than 50,000 sewing machines or 80,000 suits. It will give work for an entire year to 2000 men and women engaged in various productive indus tries and other occupations that add to the common welfare of the people in all walks of life. It is $2,000,000 a year that the Full Crew "excess man crew "Laws compel the railroads of your States to pay in unearned wages. Laws deprive you of im provements for safety and comfort in travel that this money, now used unproductively, would provide. How much longer in these times when economy is a universal necessity arc you willing to endure this tremendous waste ? In. the end the cost bears upon you, either in increased rates or decreased service. Will you use your influence in urging that the people's elected Representatives at Trenton and Harris burg work and vote for repeal of the Full Crew Laws and place control of the proper manning of trains in the hands of the Public Service Commissioners ?
