Thick ana Thin Sowing Of Wheat.

Wherever the question ofthick ard
thin sowing of wheat has been care

ring a series of years, judgement has

thin sowing. The question is one of
great Importance to Southern farmers.
and vet il is ono to which they have
generally given but little attention

Father Accolti. of he SAN. Clara

CdtDlict the following article -
Dominic PerDnc was very anxious 20
reduce his own extensive vineyard To
one single and particular kind of
grape. To destroy all the old vines
ut once and replace them with new
',nes, he thought was a plan which be
sides requiring an eXtraOrdin'Iv out
lay would be against the tender feel
in.s ofan agriculturist, who naturally
cannot but with grcatrcpugnance Rear
the idea of destroying those plants
which for years have proved bcnci
cial. To engraft all these vines anew
would be a matter of doubifl success.
and besides would deprive the proprl-
e,Or of an almost certain income tnr
many years to come. In the mid>t
of such pcrplcxitics an idea occurred
to the mind of PerOne. and this was

Ayers
Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so UNI
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

A Swim For Life:

| We copy rs follows from The Mem
phis 1vdidncAe OF the 29th:
Eor several days past all water
furnished to the Jail has been pump
ed from the Wolf river through pipes
leading into the reservoir. Gang
of prisoners have been detailed to do
the pumping, and up to yesterday
morning there had been 40 trouble
with them. AT that time, however,
while eight negroes were engaged in
pumping under the supervision Of
guards Ben Garrett and &. Il. Agnew,
one of them made sudden bleak for
the water and liberty. Mr.. Agncw
at the time was looking directly al
the negro, William Wallace, and be-
fore he could make n second ump,
he ordered him to halt. No atton-
ton being paid to his order, Mr.
Agncw drew his revolver and fired
at the negro while the latter was
not over twenty-five feet from him.
Whether the shot hit him is not
known for never stopping Wallace
plunged into the river. When he
arose to the surface Of the water
some fifteen feet from the bank, Gar
rett and Agnew fired at him. AS
soon as the shots were fired, the ne
gro again disappeared, and the guards
thought they had killed him.
That such was not the case was
soon evidenced by his again coming
to the surface, this time thirty or
forty feet distant from the shore.
Both guards again fired at him, with
what effect is not known, for by this
time he had reached the opposite
shore, and scrambling up the bank,
disappeared in some small under
growth. The whole affair did not
occupy over minute.
Short as the time was, it proved
sufficient for four of the other ne
grocs to breakc and run. Seeing the
by this time rapidly disappearing
negroes, the guards cmpted their re-
volvers at them, with no effect, how
ever, as all made good their escape,
and up to dark last evening none Of
them had been captured. The re-
three negroes stood still
and made no attempt to escape, al
though they could also have easily
cotton off. The escaping negroes
were John Baxter, petit larceny;
Jack Singleton, grand larceny ; Mon
roe Williams, cotton stealing; Willis
Harris, grand larceny William Wal
lace escaped convict.
