Olinrpeople have especial reason for a feeling of gratitude for the quiet and peaceful celebration of Christmas Day. There was a splendid sentiment in favor of the true spiritual meaning of the day and the conduct of our entire community as far as I have observed was in happy keeping with this senti ment. The town was unusually free from drunkness and boisterous conduct and not a single arrest was made for violation of the law. The officers feel especial gratitude for this quiet observance of the day. This Speaks well for our citizenship and it means much for the town. In behalf. of the city officials we ex. tend to the people greetings and ex. press very best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year. Respectfully R. S. GREER, Mayor. Books and Happiness.

THE WHISKEY SPILLED, An unprecedented calamity happened to the shipment of Christmas. whiskey consighed to Welsh, which -may in a measure account for the quiet Christ mas. Several hundred quarts consigned to Welsh in somine way failed to be us." loaded from the Express Car Christmas Eve and was. carried on to Lake Chprles At Lake Charles it was' unloaded and was proposed to be senttback to Welsh on the next traii. It was stacked high on the trucks by the side of the track and as the express came in the trucks were moved up a little but that move was the destirction of the whiskey. The whole thing toppled over and al. most every bottle ti the shipment was shattered. The result; was many a disappointed fellow had, to return Christmas Eve forlorn but all the bet ter off, for since it is all over the fellow will get his- money 'brack and no doubt enjoyed Christmas better than he would with the booze.

Underdrainage is not in its experi mental stage. In England, after the good effects of draining retentive soil became generally known, the work of drainage went on very rapidly, and it soon became difficult to rent those soils in their undrained state. Whether underdrainage does or does tlot pay is, of course,, the prime ques tron which the land.owner considers when contemplating such work. No array of figures will be here given to show that underdrainage pays, but the farmer's attention is directed to some effects of underdrainage, perhaps in his own field which he may have noticed without referring them to their true cause. .The difference between the fine corn fringing a deep ditch cut through some rich bottom and some stunted corn a little farther out from the ditch when the land has been made almost a marsh by excessive rain to the effect of underdrainage. Tie promising crop growing . on the well tilled banks of your canal or creek while a little farther out you have given up trying has been made possible by the soil drainage effected by the deep channel of the creek. Perhaps the good crop extends 100 feet or more from the creek and then dwindlesto nothing. What if there had been an other deep channel out there and parallel to the creek? It would have made good another belt 100 feet widr, and so on across the field, But m the place of the openchannel a line of small tiles placed at the same depth woult have had the same effect. The above paragraph was suggested by the writer's recollection of one D his own fields planted to corn soue years ago. The spring weather haviSl been fine, the crop was planted early Iand was growing vigorously whel, towards the middle of May it began b I rain.' The crop beginning at the mo. gin of the canal which bordered of side of the field, and extending out about 100 feet continued to grow 'rapidly through the rainy period; but I at that distance it began to turn yellow ' No cultivation after the rains ceased could restore the color to that crop I and the only cornof consequence made I was gathered from the narrow attip ekttslng dalpng the canal.
