You might follow up one branch until you come to the visible source, but you cannot follow it down into the depths of the earth and find where each drop of water is collected, so with the influ- ence of our organization, you may trace it until you can see no more effects, but still it has settled deeper down in the hearts of our citizens and it is working quietly and peace- fully, and will some day in the near future, in all probability, blossom torth like the rose, We have, how- ever, accomplished much that we can readily see. We are creating an interest in the growing of choicest fruits and ornamental! trees, flowers and shrubbery, and learning what kinds of truits succeed best on the different soils and locations and to grow such as will bear regular and tull crop of the most choice fruit, and to combat the insect enemies which would, but for the vigilance of the horticulturist, overrun and ruin our truits and vegetables. Again, the moral improvement of society 1s of primary importance and should be the grand aim of every one, be his occupation in hfe what it may, and we believe that in horti culture we have more ot that refining, eleyating and purifying influence on men’s thoughts, desires and actions than in any other vocation in lite ex- cept the ministry. Horticulture is of Divine origin. **The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and he took the man and put him in the garden to dress it and to keep it’? and there he walked in sweet communion with God. And so the vigilant horticulturist has much ot the elevating influence.

Hicciysviie, M. of the seat of Government.—Kansas City Times. A miner in Leadville, Co.., who can neither read nor write, 1s worth to-day at least $3,000,000. Four years ago he hadn’t a penny except what he earned from day to day as amuner. His nameis JohnL. Mor- rissey. He is a young man, not over thirty-two or thirty-three years ot age. The Crown Point mine, like Tom Bowen’s Golconda, was just about paying expenses. Her owners offered to sell her for$40,000. Morrissey went to Chicago and in- terested “Diamond” Joe Reynolds in the matter. Reynolds knew that Morrissey was an authority on min- ing, even if he couldn’t write his He finaliy purchased the Crown Point, agreeing to give Mor- rissey a half interest after the orig- inal sum was paid. Within thirty days they struck a vein of high-class ore that has yielded them a monthly income of $18,000 apiece ever since. There 1s said to be $5,000,000 worth ot ore in sight. Morrissey cannot even tell the tme of day, It is a stock joke among the boys if you ask sweets of perfume laden flowers; in Summer with its rotation of small truits, the delicious raspberry, the luscious blackberry, the cherry and the classick fruit of the vine; in Au- tum the delicate peach and the pear; in Winter, that never failing staple, the apple, yielding sweet enjoyment to the tamily circle. Looking at it trom a financial standpoint we have certainly accom- plished a great deal and brought thousands ot dollars into this county that, had it not been for our organi - zation, would have never found its way here. Before the adyent of our society we had nothing but the local markets tor our fruits. Now we have buyers trom abroad ready and anxious to buy all our surplus, and mostly at remunerative prices, and this we know has been brought about by our association withthe State and other societies. Letting buyers knew what we are, who we are, where we are and what we have for sale in Bates county. And vet, we have but commenced the good work. There 1s much more for us to learn and work for us to do. Our ability for accomplishing much good and valuable service is limited for want of funds to properly advertise our- selves. It we could have at our command twenty dollars to give an Premiums at each of our monthly meetings, seventy-five or a hundred to make a display at each of the great fairs in St. Louis and Kansas City, and then one hundred dollars to make one grand Bates county Morrissey what o’clock it 1s, tor him | fruit show in Bates county once mn dent, it would be a step in the right direction.

In Lowell, Mass., where it is made, it is now, as it has been for years, the leading medicine for purifying the blood, and toning and strengthening the system, This ‘good name at home” is “a tower of strength abroad.’ It would require a volume People to print all Lowell people have said in favor of Hood’s of Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert Estes, living at 28 East Pine Lowell Street, Lowell, for 15 years employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett, president of the Erie Telephone Company, had a large running sore come on his leg, which troubled him a year, when he began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew less in size, and in a short time disappeared. Jos. Dunphy, 214 Cen- tral Street, Lowell, had Praise swellings and lumps on his face and neck, Hood’s . which Hood’s Sarsapa- Sarsaparilla Tilla completely cured. Mrs. C. W. Marriott, wife of the First As- sistant Fire Engineer of Lowell, says that for 16 years she was troubled with stomach disorder and sick headache, which nothing Telieved. The attacks came on every fort- night, when she was obliged to take het bed, and was unable to endure any noise. She took Hood's Sarsaparilia, and after a time the attacks ceased entirely. Many more might be given had we room. On the recommendation of people of Lowell, who know us, we ask you to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. $1; sixfor $s. Preparedonly by C. I.
