out of Its agricultural fund. To enable
it to carry out this worfe according to
the Intention of the legislature, and1
within tho ability of the board as to
cost, it is necessary that the following
Instructions b?* followed strictly:
1. A specimen of th?> mineral must
be sent by mail to the Oommlseloner of
Agricullure, accompan!? d by ai letter
from tho owner of the ?rand Mating what

attractive and intelligible to yonng,
nterestlng to adult readers, all the
tant events in the wonderful career

of ancient times. It also gives, by way
of appropriate introduction, a brief sketch
of Rom* befor* Caesar's time, de
icrtblng the origin of the famous city,
its system of government, and some of

?resented by persons most competent to
orm a correct judgment of his merits
ind achievements.
The artistic features of the story are In

One of our drummer boys, while leaving
on hl3 trip for the South tumo time back,
was actually :na?lo to blush because ol
the incident which is to follow: The

mid-day passenger. It was at the time
this incident occurred that the coaches
won overcrowded and tho only vacant
eat was half of the one occupied by the
T. F. A. It was at Jetersvllle when a
handsome young lady from that station
entered tha coach. The oppor'?inlty to
I gallant came, and tha knight of the
grip availed himself of It to show the
gallantry which is tin* eh- r.ietci'tstlo of

of yielding tho bench. To his surprise
tdio refused to let him move, but before
ho could get out sha had PCCUplOd the
vacant ?seat next to th* aisle, thereby
