(Greenville Advocated
in the Circuit Court of this district of
Alabama, during the past week, Glasgow
Bell was sentenced to be hanged of the 26th
of July for the murder of Sam Blair. A
singular feature in the case was that the
only with ess to the killing was the father
of the murderer, whose evidence was given
owed Bell for labor, and they had some
difficulty about it. Bell went to Manning
ham and bought ammunition and loaded
his gun, saying that he was going to kill
Blair if he did not pay him. He then
went into the field where only his father
and Blair were, and, after few words
shot Blair, who was unarmed.

Picnic Postponed.

We understand that the grand picnic
which was to take place at 81. Joseph's ON

been employed to make the affair the most
enjoyable that Perry county has known
in years. A band of Zsnesville's best mu.
sicians have been secured for the occasio n
The proceeds of this picnic are to b.

The most treacherous enemies Somerset
and Northern Perry has is not the men of
New Lexington who have grown up with
the town, or men whose homes have always
been in Southern Perry and whose interests
were with New Lexington, but it is class
Of men who live off of the people of North
ern Perry and Somerset. Men who were
unable to get living and were too lazy to
work and lived off of the charities of Som
erset, which they are ever ready to de.
nounce. They came to Somerset as va.
grants and through sympathy were furnish
ed livelihood. These very same meu
will go out of their way TO injure the town
and when here cannot give it too much
praise. They are nothing more than a SCI
of deceitful liars who make a business
of lying on those whom they pretend to b.
the most intimate friends with. They ar

1 have for several years sayed my plums
from the ravages of abe curculio by the use
OF coal-ashes. They become SO completely
disguised with it that they leave for other
parts. Just so soon as the blossoms fall I
commence with my ashes. take buck
etful of the ashes under my arm, and with
the other hand dash the ashes all over
and through the trees, covering the plums
completely with ashes; and 90 round every
few days and give them another dose. If
the rain washes it of, renew the dose,
and keep at it until my plums are ripe,
when am we'll paid for my trouble. I
had last year eight bushels on seven small
trees, which sold for thirty two dollars.
1 have several trees of the Rheine Claude
variety, upon which did not use the
ashes, because the plums were SO scattering
thought it would not pay; but there was
one limb of one of those trees that was close
to those put the ashes on. 1t got its
share of ashes, and that limb ripened up
all of its plums; but not plum was there
left on the other part of the tree or any OF
the other trees of that variety. This was
conclusive evidence to me that it was the
ashes that saved my plums. When I first
commenced the ashes my brother told me
l would not succeed; that he made sure O.
saving his plums by placing sheet un
der his trees and shaking the little Turk
off his trees and catching them on tn
sheet and killing them. But when plum
were ripe had plenty and hn had none
