Suspend a sweet potato in a jar of
water so that half the potato is in the
water. It will sprout luxuriantly, and
y
ou way train the vines anont your

Young ladies, who have been
teaching this fall, should avail them

Normal School this winter.
All of us have heard of bad
scrspes, but if you want to see a good
scrape just go over and look at that

works beautifully.

our county will feel that their inter

munications tn the Chief upon any
topics which will enhance the dignity
of the teacher's profession. Our col
umns arc always open for the rccep
lion of such matter.
