 troit, visiting her sister. 



Mrs. J. O'Mallejr has just returned 

 from a three weeks ' trip along the Ohio 

 river. She stopped at Ironton, Hunting- 

 ton and Charleston and reports having 

 had a fine time. She was accompanied by 

 her son. 



L. F. Benson has returned from a trip 

 to Nebraska, Ind., and left immediately 

 for Oklahoma City, where he is interested 

 in a ranch. 



George, R. A., Ed and Eay Murphy 

 and Sam Kuhn left August 3 for their 

 camp on the Ohio at Darby's Bar, 

 to be gone a week. This is an annual 

 event and is looked forward to with a 

 great deal of pleasure. They are nearly 

 all good fishermen and the fame of their 

 catches is known all over that part of 

 the country. C. J. Ohmer. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Current Comment. 



The dull season through which we are 

 now passing gives plenty of chances to 

 the florists to repair or build their green- 

 houses and maiiy are busy at it. Ihe 

 weather has been rainy, and where the 

 chrysanthemums have not been really 

 damaged by too much water their growth 

 has been rapid in the last two or three 

 weeks. They are well advanced for this 

 time. Mrs. Robinson, the sort which is 

 the most cultivated, is almost ready to 

 show buds. As this flower is the most 

 needed for November 1, the proper time 

 to take the buds is about August 15, as 

 they take fully sixty days to open. 



B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, a little town 

 on the Mississippi river, opposite New 

 Orleans, is adding to his specialty ot 

 nephrolepis ferns the culture of hardy 

 palms on an extensive scale. He had 

 purchased some years ago eighty acres 

 of ground on the Bayou Barataria, con- 

 nected with the Mississippi river by 

 locks, thirty miles from New Orieans 

 and the first piece of high ground on 

 the way from the Gulf of Mexico. The 

 . situation is ideal as to soil and climate 

 for the culture of phcenix, washingtonias, 

 chamserops and the like. Communication 

 with the city not being very reliable, Mr. 

 Wichers found out that the best plan for 



him was to have his own boat. So he 

 has just finished building a 35-foot 

 naphtha launch, the Lotus, which will 

 carry him and his products from his set- 

 tlement to the market in a few hours. 



M. M.L. 



Lynn, Mass. — On the crowded plat- 

 form of a railroad station in Boston 

 not long ago, Howard L. Gowen, of 

 this city, was robbed of a sum of money 

 and a railroad ticket. 



Dover, N. H. — Charles L. Howe, of 

 Garrison Hill, has an extensive garden 

 which is said to give clear evidence that he 

 is as good a farmer as a florist. His acre 

 of sweet corn is particularly productive, 

 and the corn is said to be equal in quality 

 to any ever seen in the local market.
