"Th sre is nothing like stone," is now the saying among builders, and Oolitic. Limestone of Southern Indian (surpasses anything yet developed for ease in working and satisfactory results afterwards. It has beon but three years since there were but two quarries in operation in Moioe county: those of Perry Bros. idtdV Matthews Bros.

The Oolitic limestoue is found io other locations of the U. S., bnt not in quantities or quality to make it desirable pr use in buildings. Men interested in this sub ject ec culifically, and. by reason of their desire to iuvestin It tor nrotit, have len lorced to the conclusion tlwt the district in which this stone is confined is in the' two counties nl Lawrence and Meuroe. The Lawrence county qaarries have been developed a nuiuber of years, while I hose in Monroe, couuty are just bt ing oiencd, their treat value uou Hirtt"iiuy UHViiiu- ucea vuiy recently understood. The Monroe county stone has a peculiarly fine grain find a solidity that adapts it osjKicia.lly to receivings high polish, and the tests as to its resistance have nlweys been of the most satisfactory diameter. While a number of quarries in Monrae county are in lull opera1 ion shipping stone daily to distant points and to localities in our own State others arc bucy making the preliminary preparations, which consume much valuable time. We refer to preparing to build switches iuto die quarries, and getting the na?si'.-o machinery ready for the opjutjpjw.pl.fliiarry work. 1 0itf-tWwoiil desire qiafry iites 111 thj whole county in that of the Hunter Stone Company, located ou t piece of land just north ol blootnington, and which con tains t least one hundred acres of solid intone : gray, buff and blue, aud ol an unkunwu llnuknew, as many cdrcs have been drilled into it a depth of forty feet without rcocliiuy a seam or the bottom of the ledv Two beautiful streams of freshHtpring water flow through this valley one from the south, aud tli other from the east thus supplying an. abundance of water for tli&purpose of running quarry machinery successfully. The rock lies nrar the surface in fact a wainsotitiing of rock to the bight of four trpsix feet tollowa the niearderin)f of the creeks,sbowing how gener jus.tlie deposit is. A switch will 6,oou be completed to this quarry'from the main line of the Monnu-i end it will then prove lo be the most wonderfully productive quarry property in this locality.

The Harbison reunion an Tiiefl day, June 17, wax the occasion for a fine old family pio'nic, at the old Harbison homestead. This is how the farm home of Sam. Wylie, four miles northwest of Bloomiogtog. All the Hying ntembeiuof the Hajr bison family were there. Dae Harbison and Mrs. Jennie Curry of Fayctteville, Ark,; Sam. Harbison and. Mrs. Mallie Phillips,, of Waitsbtirg, in the Walla Walla Valley, Washington ; Mrs. Lizzie Dunn of Louisville ; Clay Harbison and family of Bloomington, and Mrs. Sam'. Wylie, who still lives on the old farm all were gathered home again for sueh a reunion as is eocn but once in a life' time. Mr. Phillips of Washingtoa and Mr. Dunn of Louisville were

a. It was rjlty-ibur years ago .this summer that Samuel Harbisob, the father ot the family, came from South Carolina and settled on the farm and began building the home at which the reunion was held. That was in 1838. He was the lather of eight children all living save one Mrs. .Joe. Roddy. ' After a generation of marrying and giving iu marriage a family picuic would naturally include a host of relatives, if all the sisters, cousins and aunts should be couned, not. to mention the fact that nearly ail the old South Carolina oolonj&s which .came to Monroe county in "the thirties" were more or .less closely related. The. Strongs, the Wilsons, Ihe Moffats, the Webs, the Reeds, the Gourieys, the Woodburns, the WyHes, the Currys, all somehow touch the Harbisons in kiotthip, add they all had their representatives at the pio nio. Rev. Lynns, Miss Mattie Cherry, Mrs. Gordon, Dr. McGee and family. Newton Allen, were incorporated in the family guild for the sake of marriage relationship or good fellowship, or both. Grandmothers, and babies in arms, and all ages between;, were represented and every one bad a . good time in an old-fashioned way. After dinner such as a hungry family of 125 people would appreciate there were some recitations and rendings from some young ladies ancl after dinner talks from Rev. Lyons, Mr. Phillips, Prof. Woodbur:) and Dr. McGee. All united in the wish for' other reunions like this in yenrs tocbme, For wlit is there in this world happier than flftelibme gathering -of bvtrtfers $m sisters after years tf separatiop. There are many old famiHts jof Monroe county ;; of the last gt aeration, whose uieaibera' are now scat; tered and fled"; som are married and some are dead: Their reunions, as they come back home, to the love of kindred,- t- the sceues aud acquaintances of childhood, are of interest to their friends and they add to the pleasnrct of life in a busy hum-drum world in such . a way as will leave lasting memories. Many frieuda far and near are congratulating the Harbisons on their reunion. Give us more such times and the community life will be richer.
