storms have passed over the lower part of Gin
ton county Fences were swept away like
chat, trees wrenched out by the roots, cattle,
hogs and poultry were taken up into the air
and carried great distance and killed. At
Malone, small station on the northwestern
road, nearly every house in the village was lev
eled to the ground. One woman was killed
and several others severely wounded. The
damage to property is estimated at several
thousand dollars.

teen committed suicide, and the remaining
twenty were submerged in the waters.

How TO PLANT HEDGES. Mr. Robert An
derson gives the following as bis plan Of plant
ing hedges: r
MY way Of planting hedge is to plow the
ground about twelve or fifteen inches deep, and
pulverize completely; then set my stakes in
range as want my hedge to stand. Then
take common garden hoe and dig hole as
deep as | want my plants to be set. standing
with my face in range with the stakes; then
put plant down, with the top toward me,
leaning at an angle Of about forty-five degrees,
being careful to put it a little deeper than 1t
grew in the nursery: then cover that one up
by digging the dirt out for the next plant, and
so on, standing in the range of the stakes. 1t
will facilitate the job by having dropper to
put the plants in their places as you need them.
