The first case of smallpox appeared in the city about four months ago, and the expense to date totals a nice round sum, and there will be further expen- diture befors the cases are all cleaned up. The ¢ity had spent, up to June : $4,568.70, and that sum did not in- clude Dr. Keating's salary, which has not been paid yet, nor the salary of the nurse at the isolation hospital The town, up to the same date, had spent $1,764.12 for meats and groceries, elc., which makes a total spent by the city and town of $6,222.82. Tuesday there were exactly 20 pa- tients at the hospital, 18 of whom are from the city, one from the town and one from Vernon. Monday evening one of the Chalifoux children of lower Main street was released, and by the last of thepresent week two others will be released.

C., Will Establish Con- clusively Its Practicability or Fu- tility, Cultivation of broom-corn as a side- line is urged on Southern farmers from time to time, but usually by type- writer-agriculturists, who neglect to inform their readers how, in the ab- sence of local product to advantage. pose of their product to advantage. Obviously the lack of an accessible market makes it impracticable for a farmer, here an there to grow broom- corn profitably, The industry can be established in a community only by agreement among growers which will insure the production locally of a suf- ficient quantity of brush to create a market there ;and this seems to be the idea of the Florence Chamber of Commerce, which has induced a num- ber of Fiorence county farmers to plant this year experimental broom- corn plots of a quarter-acre each. A similar effort was made some years ago in middle Georgia. An exhibit of | broom-corn and machinery for prepar- ing the brush was featured at the state fair in Macon. The apparatus was simple and inexpensive, the not at al lcomplicated, and llvely in terest was taken in the subject by the farmers yisiting the fair; byt the in- dustry failed of a foothold in that re- glon because not emough brush was produced In any one community dur- ing subsequent seasons to create & market. No reason appears why broom-corn should not prove a profit- able crop for this section provided market facilities are furnished. Culti- vation of the brush and preparation of it for market require, it Is said, about the same labor a8 corn, and the product averaging a ton to the acre varies in price between $80 per ton and $140, standing just now at about $100. if the Florence experiment is so made as to be reasonably conclusive At will prove valuable to the whole South, whether it argues for the new crop or against it.

Think of the hundreds of needless steps every wom- an you know could save by having her table, pantry and cupboard, with all her tools and supplies centered in ene spot.

The Hoosler Company mends its 3,000 ggents a limited number of Hoosier Cabi- nets each year to be sold under direct supervigion of the factory on the famous Hoosier Club Plan, instead of This year most cities received only 15 cabinets. Our urgent request secured us 25 of these cabinets for the ladies of Nor- wich, Only 25 women, there- fore, can join the club and have a Hoosier Cabi- net delivered immediately on payment of $1.00; bal- ance in a few weekly pay- ments of $1.00.

The Jlow price of the Hoosier Cabinet is fixed every- where by the factory. No Hoosler agent can sell for less or more on anj terms. So club members get a great benefit from the libe clyb terms.
