as much a matter of general interest, as was
the celebrated trial Of the Tichbo.ne

The four persons who were condemned
to dolth for the Penge murder and subse-

retire from q not9riety 50 painful, and

prisoners, Louis StAunton. Patrick Staun.

wheat is an uncertain crop and liza
BILE TO rust. Cotton is also uncertain,

Fifteen years ago the same cry was
made against the oat crop, but by
constant perseverance,, and saving
seed from extra fine and sound heads
we have to>day the best oats in the
world, and there are more oats made
10 Thomas county, Ga, than in any
county in the United States. If we
viii take the same pains in selecting
the best heads of wheat, and take
the additional trouble to prepare the
land and fertilize it, wheat will be-
come as certain a crop as oats, corn
or cotton. We overlook the matter
that there is at times failure in all
crops and simply because of fall

we should not be discouraged from
planting it again, just as surely get
US perfectly reliable wheat, as it
gave us celebrated rust proof oats.
Now that the season to cut wheat
is nearly at hand, our planters ought
to be making arrangements to pro-
cure the very best seeds to plant the
coming September, October, Novem-
Der and December. Let US try to
make our -four at home.

Louisville, June IA startling sensa.
tion has been developed here. A lady occu-
pying high social position, Mrs T. T.
Hawkins by name, as the story is told,
within the last few years obtained $4,000
from her mother on the pretense that she
was investing, it in tobacco speculations.
She claimed that Senator Stevenson, George
II. Pendleton, Colonel Taylor and others
were in partnership with her. The mother
believing this advanced the money The
gentlemen named deny any business rela-
tlons with her and the story SO far as they
are concerned is utterly devoid of truth.
The lady made several attempts to secure
cash on notes but failed. They were
forged and signed with Taylor's name.
The relatives pronounce Mrs. Hawkins
deranged. The affair causes considerable
excitement.
