That island has been so long the aoono of a devastating war that starvation in imminent in many homes. They are struggling as did those who won for us the priceless ' boon of liberty and the patriotic hearts of Ameiica will warm with charity towards them. A small sum will prove of great benefit in ameliorating their sorrowful and destitute condition. Perhaps a con trihution might be taken at an e'en ing service in our churches especi ally for this object. All sums in tended for the cause can be sent as elsewhere noted. OUR FIRE PROTECTION. Last week some of the firemen ex amining the fire hose found several lengths, in which water had been allowed to remain, frozen np and useless without being thawed out. The joints were taken to the cellar of the Court House and put in prop er order. Borne people may retort that the firemen should have seen that the hose was properly cared for after the fire at Rutan'g, the last time it was used, but such would fail to answer the pertinent en quiry as to why mm who volunteer to act in that capacity and without pay, should spend their time not only at fires, hut after, in such work as drying and cleaning the hose, es pecially when no proper place for such work is provided by the Bor- ough. The hydrants are no protec tion from fire unless the hose is in working order, and if it is not, our seourity from the devouring ele ment is nothing but a mockery, The Borough should have a suitable and convenient house for tho pro tection of its hose carriages and lad der truck. There should be room in it to properly care for the ap paratus, and facilities for warming it in winter so that everything could be comfortably done. That the town has been remarkably exempt from fires is no excuse for neglect There is no guarantee that they will not come at the most inopportune moment, and should our boasted fac ilities then be found useless it will bo miserable consolation to know that gross neglect has entailed great loss. This matter should not be nl lowed to rest with but a passing comment, or an effort to shift the responsibility on the firemon. They deserve the thanks of the commun ity for their willingness to aid, with out compensation, in a difficult and dangerous work, and the citizens whose persons and property they organize to protect should insist that they be furnished with their needs. Money spent for this pur pose would be well invested and such recognition would greatly en courage them to become better cramed and more efficient in thoir work when the necessity for it arises. Let us have a new hose hou.se and that very soon. THE "TRESS" APOLOGIZES. Piko says be " expocta to hear again, from different parts of the county inquiries for in formation , to the financial affairs of the couDty. "The light however" he remarks ' is of the kind that would be better hid under a bushel for the credit of those re sponsible for it." If any one wished to divine the meaning of the above somewhat involved statement it tuight be construed as meaning that the Auditors who investigated our flnanciul affairs lit such a pooi candle that it should be smothered, for decencies sake or, thut a state ment showing a patent mistake of 120, the fault presumably of the ex pect accountant who "just missed it," ought to bo suppressed, or per haps ho intends to imply thut publi-' cation in the Press is tantamount to a pnrtinl eclipse of Democratic viBlon. We will assume for sweet charities sake that the latter was the real thought in "Pikos" allegnd mind when he aimed the above satirica and caustic sentences presumably at our County Commissioners. We do not bear thoir burdens, or speak their minds, and the PrtEss has only this apology to offer for its action in the matter. It bid for the work and was awarded tho contract, and so far as it is concerned it offors the samo kindly alternative to those Democrats who desire to read tho statement, a for many many years the Democrats of this county offered to their Republican brethern. If they wished to soo the statement it was necessary to subscribe for the paper which published it, and was lnid full rates too, for the work. Our Republican friends did not and were not then advised to "borrow beg or steal" their information. They got it by paying for it, and they also paid their full share of taxes to pay for its printing. Every thing was lovely and Piko and his friends, there were ostensibly 108 of thorn in 1888 out of ovor 1000 Demo cratic votes cast, floated along on the unruffled tide gently murmur ing "see how we apples do swim." The unheard of audacity of ha v ing a Republican paper on the "one green spot," has been perpetrated, and the apples are not retaining their adhesive qualities so persiston ly as before. This is the unpardon able sin to persons of "Pikos" ilk, who really care nothing for the peo ples interests and are only concerned because the grist does not all go to their mill.

Editor Press. WHAT TO DO ON THE FARM IN WINTER. Whjle the thrifty farmer will in winter ease up advantageously from much of the driving pressure incid ent to summer, fall and spring, it is not wholesome for man or beast to be entirely idle at any tims. Neith er is it profitable to be so, and the very large majority of tillers of the soil, and-not only they but those en gaged in any business, find it nec essary to be generally employed at all times. Many mechanics, car penters, etc., knock off altogether because winter is not as favora ble as summer for their work. But who ever knew a merchant a trader to lock up their stores in a dull time? No, they know better than to forego the small trade they do in the dull est time of year. Bo the enterpris ing agriculturist will keep pretty busy all through the winter. Those who do little or nothing, but visit and spend money for three or four months of the most incle ment seasons, are pretty sure to get badly loft bohind in the race for even co ufortable competance. Besides " idleness is emptiness ; the tree in which the sap is stag nant, remains fruitless." Again, "what heart can think, or tongue express, the harm 'that groweth of Idleness. " Ploughing in the fall and winter months when possible has been and is almost universally commended It is very generally decided that the action of frost on the upturned soil is really beneficial. Besides, it is just delightful in the pressure of spring work to find several fields ploughed and all ready to plant at the earliest possible moment. Also this early start in spring will be felt all the summer through. I am of ten reminded by the example of a formerly adjoining neighbor who was noted for earliness and being forward in everything, his crops al ways showing up accordingly. Then again the small farmers who do most of thoir own work can sur prisingly take time by the forelock in spring, by doing all the plough ing possible in tall and winter. Keeping the manure well hauled out, having a suniuient quantity of wood prtparod, repairing all the tools, and if the ground becomes bare and frost lets up a little, stones can be hauled off and any other do bris.so as to greatly relieve the pres sure of hard spring and summer work and forward everything. Of course calling and visiting and all necessary busmess and running about can be disposed of during the season of comparative leisure. " Take time by the forelock. 1" Yes, we all must be trying to do this from the beginning to the end of tho year, or rank among the lit tle behind hands. "Go to the ant thousluggard.oon sider her ways and be wise." What a perfect example is contained in this injunction I Perhaps the ante excel even the honey bee in in dustry, resolution and perseverenoe. Well consider her ways then agri culturist, and if you follow them with any degree of vim aud tenacity, you will oertaiuly succeed. (The above timely article was written by B. M. Palmer, of West full, a short time prior to his de oeuse some four years ago, and was recently found by his sou among his books. Ed.
