Sowing Seeds,
For (lie benefit of our fanner friends we
shall give,an article regarding their busi-
ness occasionally, as it is well to try and
please all. One thing that is noticeable is
the carelessness with which the seeds are
sown or planted. The proper distribution
of seed in sowing is quite important, and
there are few who can do it- just right.
Machines have been invented for the pur-
pose, and many of them do the work more
evenly than it can possibly be done by
hand. Some seeds, from their peculiar for-
mation, have to be sown by hand. It is a
difficult matter to give directions for sow-
ing seeds, and to say how much is required
to the acre. Much depends upon the sea-
son, and also upon the freshness of the
seed—and even seed known to he new may
he deficient in germinating properties.
The best rule is, when sowing in rows, to
be governed by the character ot the seed
and relative strength of the young plants;
for instance, carrot, parsnip, and some oth-
ers lyive light seed, and the young plants
are feeble. Such should be sown thickly
and afterward be thinned out. Other
plants, such as cucumbers, melons, etc,,
are liable to be attacket by bugs, and it is
well to make some allowance on this ac-
count. Most heavy seeds can be
sown thin, especially if broadcast, the
chances being that they will be too thick
in case they are sown by inexperienced
hands. Take for example, the seed of the
flat turnip, one pound of which, in meas-
ure but little more than a pint, will sow
an acre of land, but it requires a very nice
calculation to get the seed evenly distribu
ted and makes such a small quantity cov-
er so much ground.
An See MacSiisae.
The amount of ice consumed in our city
during hot weatner, would justify the
erection of an Ice Machine on the Clear
Fork of Trinity above the city. We have
uo continuous railroad line to the ice hous-
es in the northern cities, consequently the
cost ot transportation over two or more
roads, and the distance, adds so much to
the cost, that is too expensive for general
consumption. With the improved meth-
ods of making ice, it can be manufactured
and sold here at a less cost than it can be
brought by rail. We hope some enterpri-
sing person will take the initiative in this
matter.
The neighboring towns of Cleburne,
Weatherford, and the surrounding coun-
try, would consume large quantities ofice
if sold at a reduced price.
Tke Driag-e.
Now that the building of a free bridge
across the Trinity is a fixed fact, which
will be an accomplished fact before the
first of March next, every one in the
county should sustain the county com-
missioners in the plan they have adopted.
The planters in the southern part of the
county are entitled to an equal amount of
public money, for erecting bridges across
all the streams which obstruct travel du-
ring high water. They must abide then-
time. So soon as the bridge tax is collec-
ted, and the other outstanding liabilities of
the county are paid off, then it will devolve
upon the county court to lay a special
bridge tax for the southern portion of the
county.

Not exactly a flirtation either, but an ele-
gant display of millinery goods at the popu-
lar fashion bazaar of Mrs. Brown's, on Main
street. Those tine, handsomely finished
cloaks, and tasteful and stylish hats are to
be sold at cost, and vve take this opportunity
of mentioning it, so that the ladies can take
advantage of the low prices. Sirs. Brown
has also a beautiful lot ot fancy worsted
goods,' which she is sellihg remarkably
cheap. Call and examine this handsome
stock of millinery. nl05-2t
'FHe Standard.
Our friends will notice that we are ma-
king every effort to improve the Standard.
and make it as newsy and interesting as
possible. We have made arrangements to
give our readers the latest telegraphic news
from and after the first day of January, and
with the kind patronage that we hope to
receive, and to merit, make our paper
what its name implies. We shall begin
the new year with the firm determination
of placing the Standard in the lead, and
giving all news, foreign and local, as cor-
rectly as possible, and in the most interes-
ting form, and feel confident that we shall
meet with a liberal patronage.

Mexico.
The depredations committed on the bor-
der by the Mexicans, causes considerable
excitement at Washington, but what the
citizens'of this section wantto know is, how
J. T. Mason manages to sell furniture so
cheap. Well, that is easily accounted for.
First of ail, Mr. Mason is a clever and ac-
commodating gentleman, and buys such a
large stock at a time that he gets his goods
cheap, thus enabling him to sell cheaper
than any other house in the city. Call and
examine his stock, and you will be induced
to buy, Houston street. nl04-6t

Marshall Courtright is doing something
to-day that will meet the hearty approba-
tion of everybody in town, and of pedes-
trians more especially,—he is having the
sidewalks cleared of obstructions. Some
ot the walks have been almost impassable
for weeks past, being obstructed by boxes,
barrels, show goods, etc. We are glad to
see this step being taken. Go for ’em,
Jim, and never let up until the streets as-
sume a look ot respectability.
It is often the case that men throw away
a boot or shoe, when it becomes ripped-or
has the slightest hole in it. Don’t do it,
but take your boots and shoes to G. John-
son, and lie will mend them at a slight cost,
and make them as good as new. Mr. John-
son makes the best boots we have ever
seen, and does it just as cheap as the cheap-
est. Call around and see him, shop back

A Wife Worth Having.
A Mississipi paper advises all men in
search of a wife, to come to Claiburn coun-
ty. A man in Alabama married one of
these girls who raised 114 turkeys, which
she sold for $376,20, 228 pairs of chickens
and 286 dozen eggs for $247,00; total, $623.
The expenses incurred was only $30.
The average price of eggs was twenty-
eight cents, and the turkeys fifteen cents
per pound. She made as much clear mon-
mo may on her poultry as her hosband did
on an 800 acre plantation.

The corner stone of the Episcopal church
in this city, will be laid on Saturday next,
the 29th inst. Owing to bad weather,
these interesting services were postponed
to that time. Bishop Garrett will be pres-

on the following Sunday. There are no
ceremonies connected with religion, more
solemn and impressive than the laying’ of
a corner stone of a building, to be devoted
exclusively to religious services. vVe do

FAST FALLS THE EVENTIDE.
When the setting sun in splendor
Slowly sinks from mortal sight,
Crowns the earth with clouds of crimson,
Robes the sea in living light—
When the rainbow hues of sunset
Fading from the hills are seen,
And the night, with dusky mantle,
Reigns our sable-shrouded queen,
Calming earth with all its passions—
Envy, hatred, fear, and love—
And the pale white stars are throbbing,
Throbbing in the heavens above—
When earth’s sister orb, ascending,
Tints with light each hillock green,
And the ferns, with dewdrops bending,
Glisten in the silvery sheen—
Then I feei how sin and sorrow
Stain the earth by mortals trod,
Ear from man the troubled spirit
Seeks its fellowship with God.
Fashion Notes. #
Gentlemen’s coats are a little shorter,
and their trousers not quite as large as they
were last season.
Four or five bows are used on each slip-
per, fastening high on the instep by means
of kid or elastic straps.
Light casimers in evening colors are com-
bined with grosgrain silks of the same
shade, for evening dresses.
New neckties are of fringed ribbon with
a narrow band of colored embroidery run.
ning through the centre.
A new material for evening dresses is
peluche grenadine, which has a transpa-
rent ground with plus mixture.
Collars and cuffs of fine linen cambric,
finished with a broad hem, are the correct
thing for first mourning.
Christmas green this year will be very
elaborate. The imported designs, consist-
ing of immortelles and dried grasses, are
very handsome.
A very handsome artificial wreath is
made ofcardiualsoed satin Marguerites and
leaves of the same color, with a few black
satin leaves interspersed.
Grecian bodices and yoke waists, with
gathered or pleated backs and fronts, are
seen among the late imported dresses.
Wide striped silks, so much worn a few
years ago, are again fashionable, those with
the stripe an inch wide being the favorite.
Sea-otter bands of dark brown shades^
with silver hairs inserted at intervals, are
seen among the handsomest high-priced
fur trimmings.

Tiie members of the Impromptu club

changed to that of the Merry Few, and
Friday next is the time for their hop at
Evans’ Hall. Mr. Samuel Spencer was

The energy and enterprise of D. M. Wil-
liams & Co., is commendable in the high-
est degree. These gentlemen try to excel
