Up to six months ago it had Attained a growth tf some three or four feet. At this time ilerK vv al ters cut the plant down, leaving a stub about teu inches high. Froai1 this stub, or stump, two stalks sprang up and in six months that have elapsed, one of these stalks h-ts made a growth of six feet and one inch and the other about three inches less. This is a growth ot a foot a month, which is very rare in a plant of this kind. Just the va- riety ot tucnia it i? cannot oe eiawu, but it is a very healthy plant and isjustnowin bloom.

George Kerr is not so confident of his ability to handle a fractious horse as he was a few days ago. The elements of doubt crept into his mind last Sunday. George recently became the proud pos sessor of a high strung equine, which it seems has been trained to work as off ieader iiv a team ot four on a wood wagon. It is too proud to work single, but its new owaer objects to taking his outings oa a wood , rack and He aeterminea mat iuc """" pride mustsuccumb to his owa. Me entered into an uucuoivt alliance with Rube Kiger, am last Sunday morning "Altago" was harnessed and taken to Mr. Kiger's race track south of town to be given his first lesson in submission. Mr. Kiger hitched the steed to a racing cart, and uired of Mr. Kerr, who was plihpmtflv filling his Tjioe. if he believed he could handle tbe horse. "Oh," yes.' said George, with an air of confidence which waived aside all doubts. He climbed into the sulky, srasoed the line-s while the smoke rolled from his corncob in great clouds. Affain Mr. Kiger en nnired if George thought he could measure up to the job, and the camp confident answer was elicited. About this time the horse be- oan to taEe an micicsi. th his hind feet ond the front of the sulky sail ed gracefully over Mr. Kerr' head.

Bad Road Mended. fudge Woodward and Road- master Smith went out to Dusty, Friday to observe the road work being done in that neighborhood. Th rock crusher is in operation there, and excellent results are being accomplished in perma nent improvement. The crush er was being operated Friday with a light engine, yet a load of rock was broken up m eight minutes. Just south of Dusty is a stretch of road 400 or 500 feet in length that has been considered one 01 the worst places iu the county. In the winter time it is almost impassable. Improvements were made at that point last week, which it is believed will last for years. A bed of large rocks was nlaced as a foundation, witn boulders along the sides. 1 he space between, about ten feet, was filled with crusnea rocit. By next winter this will be like a pavement. Mr. Smith says that equany good work is being done in other districts. Additional Local. lit 'i tutor w tztj Reduction Sale Of i5 Per Cent. On all Men's and Boys' Suits.
