It was rainy and wet in the morning but the afternoon found things a. little brighter although the sun shone forth for only a short time. Theday was observed as a holiday by all the merchants and business men. Many towespeople visited friends in other places while many entertained Easter visitors at their own homes. Divine services were held in the Trivitt Memorial church both morning and evening, conducted by the rector. A morning service was held in the Main street Methodist church. These servic- es were fairly well attended and were appropriate to the occasion being on the crucifixion of Christ. • Farmers in this country areadvised to examine the corn they are using for seed the coming season and test it to make sure it will grow. A well-known farmer in thisvicinity states that aboat 45 years ago this country passed through just a summer andwinter as the past and the next season o large amount of the corn sown failed to grow. He argues that on account of the Wet season last year, most of the corn did not mature properly and some put away in cribs is still quite soft. The severe weather, he argues, has killed the germs in much of, the corn and its failure to sprout will be the first know- ledge that some will have that the corn will not grow. Be advises the farmers to test the seed by putting it in dirt and setting it under a warm stove for four or -five days or a week, when it should sprout. Anyone having 1901 corn should use it this year for seed. The above is well worthy of consider- ation. Try Oui whole-wheat flour—it is genuine mood stuff—is giving excellent satis- faction.

Digging potatoes in the inontli nf March is certainly on unusnal thing in this country, but such bus 'been thc. occupation of one of our citizens dm i- ing a few moments of lest week. Mr. John Noray failed to get all of his po- tatoes in the garden dug last fall, con- sequeetly as soon as the snow disap- peared he sought out the spot where they were supposed to be and unearth- ed several hills of fine tubers. The potatoes bad notbeen frozen and when cooked were found to be in a, good state of preservation, being better than if they had boon kept in a cellar driving Ig winter. The early snow of last fall, coming as it did before a frost of any extent, and remaining in abund- ance until only a few days ago, ile- co n ft the fact of the potatoes not being fvozen.
