ed for the present under the name of
The Marietta Journal and Courier. The

deserving success, and, having definite
ideas as to what a good county puper‘
should be, we feel confident that our

great body of the people.

[ot the psper will be very nearly
‘doubled.

A HANDY TREE.
Did you ever hear of the thread
and-needle tree? Rather a handy
tree to have growing in. the back
yard, don’t you think? especially
when there are boys in the house,
with buttons coming off about
every other minute.
This strange tree grows in nearly
all tropical countries, and in some
places nearer home, where the cli=
mate is warm and even. In Mex
ico it is found in great numbers,
and the Mexicans call it the
‘‘maguey,’”’ which is proneunced
‘“‘magway.’’ It gete the name by
which we know it from the curious
formation of its leaves. At the
tip of the leaf there is a sharp
thorn, which is the needle. If you
grasp it firmly and pull it out, a
long thread of fiber comes with it,
{and there you are—with a needle
already threaded for your sewing.
This fiber thread is verv strong,
and the Mexicans use it for weav
ing a coarse kind of cloth as well
as for sewing. The .eaves of the
tree they use for roofiug their
houses, instead of tiles, aud a fine
roof they make with them, strong
'and water-proof—just the sort of
‘rouf that is needed i a country
Iwhere the rain pours down iu
' sheets. —Examiner.
