 LOCAL AND GENERAL.
A despatch from Prince Rupert
states that George R. Naden, M.
L. A., of Greenwood, has establish-
ed an office at Prince Rupert and
will make his home there. Com-
ments from Lowery o' the Ledge
are now in order.
Duncan Woods, of Summerland,
passed through last week on his
way to Hedley. Mr. Woods has
taken quite a long trip in the east,
but is returning with the intention
of hanging on to and developing
his property in the Hedley district.
The humiliating confession must
be made—the Union Jack has been
hauled down in Keremeos. It has
been flying proudly over the customs
office, but has now succumbed be-
fore the assaults of King Boreas.
It has been suggested that a sheet-
iron flag should be put up which
would at least be economical if un-
conventional.
Greenwood (eels now about as
proud as Ladysmith did after its be-
leaguerment by the Boers. Green-
wood has endured a six-month's
siege of idleness, but its plucky bus-
iness men, stimulated and encourag-
ed by the one and only Lowery, have
hung on and stood off their credit-
ors and come out triumphant. The
mines have been re-opened, and
now the Greenwooders propose to
show us what long enduring hearts
can do.
Having come as far as New York
on a business trip, a Washington
man took a run into Connecticut,
where he had lived in his childhood.
In the place where he was born he
accosted a venerable old chap of
some HO years, who proved to be
the very person the Washingtonian
•Ought to answer certain inquiries
concerning the place. As the con-
versation proceeded the Washing-
ton man said : " I suppose you
have always lived here?" "Oh, no"
said the native. "I was born two
good miles from here."
Sweet potatoes for planting are
not sold by any Canadian firm.
The sweet potatoes that you pur-
chase at your grocers, probably in
your own town, will do. This crop
is not grown commercially in Can-
ada, although some persons have
had good success with them in pri-
vate gardens. The tubers may be
started in an outdoor hot-bed early
in spring. In a few weeks lhe buds
will sprout and, by the time all dan-
ger from frost is past, a dense
growth of slips will cover the bed.
These are removed from the tubers
and set by hand in the field or gar-
den three or four feet apart,
in the rows. They seem to thrive
best in a warm soil, which should
be deeply cultivated and well en-
riched. Canadian Dairyman.
Two pilgrims marched through
Keremeos on Sundav, whose ap-
pearance brought such vivid recol-
lections of Sunday school books
that they were recognized as Hin-
doos at the first glance. The many-
