The high school grad¬ uate will find that when he has tapped, the oyster will reveal a maze of passageways, each one leading to different achieve¬ ments. In the human realm of know¬ ledge, there exists many ways to acquire the necessary beginings to adult life, but it is difficult to choose the right way. Some¬ times even the right road seems wrong, but who CAN be sure of the right way?

Case, Milton Case and John Tatum made their first solo flights from the Trion Lafayette School of flying where they are studying. After so many hours of flying and satisfactory learning there comes the big moment when you take a plane up by yourself. If you successfully pass this test you become a student pilot. After 30 morj hours of satis¬ factory solo flying you receive your pilots license. Tommy Sims and Roy Mc- Bryar still have a few more hours to go before they will bi ready for the thrill of their first solo flight. In spite of not having located suitable land for a flying field in Dade County, these prospec¬ tive aviators remain enthusi¬ astic and hopeful. There is an eloquent silence; It serves sometimes to approve, sometimes to condem; there is a mocking silence; there is a respectful silence. —La Rochefoucauld.

THE DADE LOOKING BACKWARD pOOOQOOOOOQOfc^g^^^C^OOOe^COOCOOOCX^OQ&OOOOOOOU the DADE COUNTY GAZETTE_ Rising Fawn, Ga., October 30, 1879 A Young Gent in Trouble ! A young lady gave "her young man," a beautifully worked pair of slippers, and he acknowledged the present by sending her his picture encased in a handsome Frame. He wrote a note to send with it, and at the same time replied angerily to an oft-repeated dun for an unpaid for suit of clothes. He gave a boy ten cents to de¬ liver the package and notes, giving explicit directions as to the destination of each. It was a boy with freckled face and he discharged his errand in a man¬ ner that should give him a niche in the temple of fame. The young lady received a note in her adored one's handwriting, and flew to her room to devour its contents. She opened the missive with eager fingers and read— “I'm getting tired of your everlasting attentions. The suit is about worn out already. Please go to thunder." And the tailor was struck ut¬ terly dumb when he opened a parcel and discovered the pic¬ ture of ftis delinquent customer, with a note that said— "When you gaze upon these features think how much I owe you." When the unfortunate man called around that evening to re¬ ceive the happy acknowledge¬ ment of his sweetheart, he was very ostentatiously shoved off the steps and over the fence by the young lady's father, and in the morning he was waited upon by his tailor's attorney, and im¬ peratively ordered to settle or suffer. The Hair We Wear The South of France and Britt¬ any contribute to the human hair market the largest amount the black hair. Thither each year agents of the Parisian wholesale houses go to gather an average crop of more than two hundred thousand pounds of weight. From one to five francs is about the usual price of a head of hair. The dealers are provided with ribbons, silks, laces and jewelery, which they often succeed in exchanging in black or golden treeses. They attend all the fairs and merry-makings, and at a Breton fair may be seen JLc k e Care of Your Garden * —Photo Courtesy Perry-Morse Seed Co. The time to kill weeds in your garden is before they begin to Hoeing the surface soil in vegetable or flower garden not only sprouting weed seeds; It actually prevents their germination. As soon the seedlings break through in the garden rows so that they can ”'Ee seen, it is time to begin stirring the soil between rows and as close the plants as possible without dis- < turbing them. Either a hand hoe or a wheel hoe is an excellent tool. If it rains a few days after the first cultivation, stir the surface soil again as soon as it is dry enough, but do not wait longer than a week before cultivating a second time,— rain or no rain,—unless tire ground is too wet to work. Weeds within the row will prob¬ ably have to be removed by hand while the plants are small. Some gardeners find an old kitchen knife a handy helper. Or, a hand weedei is a convenient tool. As plants grow larger, they usually dominate so that weeds in the row do not prove troublesome. Onions are one ex¬ ception: the spear-like leaves do not shade the ground enough to keep down the husky weeds. Let The Times Do Your Job Printing number of them surrounded by girls ready to be sheared sheep as they stand in a row after another with their caps in their hands, ready for the and their long hair out and falling like a about them. Sometimes it is a man and sometimes a wo¬ man who cuts off the hair, placing it in a large basket, pro¬ vided for the occasion and into which every successive crop of hair, tied up in a wisp, is thrown by itself. As it is tjie fashion in those parts to wear a close cap which throughly obstructs the view of coils or braids of hair, it can make no difference whether they have them or not. Hence, it is said the girls seem to bring their hair to market as regularly as they do peas and cabbage and eggs, and that a peasant girl parts with her hair as readily as the stern uncle in old-fasioned plays parts with guineas in the last act. For choice heads of hair, like choice old pictures or choice old china, there is no limit in the price they may command. Local Options Nov. 6, 1879 Wheat is booming—downward. We notice that our Ordinary, has the public well fitted up O. K. Mrs. Rodgers left for Jasper last Friday to visit her daughter Mrs. Darr. Mr. Green O Powell paid our sanctum a visit this week A heavy crop of wheat is being sown in the county. We gathered 600 bushels of corn off 15 or 16 acres of land. See new advertisement of the wide-a-wake merchants, Geo. W. Cureton in this issue. Mr R. S. Coleman was visiting his father last week. He gave us a call and paid for a subscrib er to the Gazette. Another one of our old citizens has passed off. This time it is Mr. George Sutton. He died on the 28th of Oct.,'in rtis 90th year. Mr. Sutton was the father of Leroy Sutton late of this county. We are much obliged to Mr. W. H Boatman, for those fine Irish potatoes. They were indeed fine some of them weighing IV 2 lbs. Mr B says he made 105 bushels on one acre of land. Who can beat that? For the good of the vegetables flowers and for the sake of a den’s appearance, it is important cultivate all through the season. Besides keeping ahead the weeds, tilling the surface lightly forms a mulch to evaporation of moisture. It is ticularly essential to stir the around plants as soon as soil a plants are dry enough after rain. Care should be taken, ever, net to dig to deeply a tar plants as to injure the loots. Another reason for cultivating th garden ail summer is that stirrir. the soil rllov/s air to enter. Next moisture, ventilation is one of most valuable means of releasing food to growing plants.
