The Boss Sugar Bush.--On his farm in Alexander, Mr. Delos DODSON has a
ten acre sugar orchard on which there are growing, great and small, some
3000 maple trees. This season he has tapped 460 of these trees and from
their sap, has manufactured 1,000 pounds of sugar and has syrup enough on
hand for 300 pounds more; and he claims that no other bush in this county or
vicinity, with the same number of trees tapped, can equal his in production
or profit. We guess he's right--but if any one thinks differently let him
come to the front and "sugar off."

Lillian J. CROSBY, the youngest daughter and child of Mr. and Mrs. L.L.

months. Lillian was a bright, beautiful child, and her death is a sudden
and almost crushing sorrow to the bereaved parents and friends.
But, be this your comfort, sad, grief-stricken friends,
As ye mourn 'neath the chastening rod;
The bud just removed from your garden below,
Now blooms in the garden of God.
