Biuffton Banner: All fruit trees like a
rather dry, rich soil. On cold, clayey bot
tom diseases are usually frequent. Do not
plaut deep; cut off TAP roots and encourage
surface tibeTs. Surface manuring is the best
mode of doing this after the tree Is planted.
Do not allow anything TO grow vigorously
around your tree the first year of planting,
nor allow the soil to become hard or dry.
Patrick Dugan, an unsophisticated old
| farmer of Johnson county, on Saturday
| lodged a complaint at Shelbyvilie with
| Prosecutor Ray concerning shameless effort
| to swindle him. He says one NJ. T.. NIGEL.
| vain recently came TO him and entered into
| a 1vTltien contract to furnish patent medi-
cines, which Dugan was to pay for when
sold. Shortly after a third party named
Sayles presented a note for $780, drawn by
| Dugan and payable to McEl vain. Sayles
| demanded payment of this note from DugaD,
claiming TO have purchased the same. The
latter refuses to pay, and says the note is a
barefaced forgery, and if collection is insisted
on he will proceed criminallY against the
holder.
Muncie Times: The invitations sent to
| this city to attend the Northern NJ. f. con-
| ference at Anderson next week specially re-
quest ministers to not bring their wives,
| times are hard and they can not be enter
| tanned. Now We would like to know whether
| the invitations We're all alike, or whether
this notice was specially served on Mancie.
| If so, We want TO know what Muncie has
ever done TO deserve it. If Anderson is
| really so hard up Muncie will send relief
committee TO her aid. In fact we under
stand our people are already making ar
| rangements 10 attend and take their dinners
along and alsJ abundance for the visitors.
| We hardly thought this OF Anderson. Last
| year the conference was held at the town of
| Button, and yet the ministers were allowed
10 take their wives, and there weresforty va
| cant places of entertainment after all were
provided for. Now the city of Anderson,
| with gas works and hydraulics shuts her
doors upon the ladies' and even intimates
| that the preachers ought not eat too much.
| Say, send up provision wagon and we VIII
| fill her up and take gas for pay.
| Ledger-Standard: Good advice in this
| paragraph, and applicable to scores of other
places beside New Albany. New Albany
young ladies, a word: The next very pious
| stranger that comes here and attends all the
/ red white and blue ribbon meetings, goes to
gospel gatherings and seeks Sunday school
| seances, don't go crazy over him. Don
| throw open your parlor doors to him, don't
play croquet with him publicly, don't take
| buggy rides with him, don't attend public
places in his company, don't write several
afiectidnate notes to him, don't send him
bouquets and rare flowers, don't tell him
| there are no young men in New Albany that
are fit for young lady of education and re-
| finement to associate with, and thousand
other things that have been done and said to
swindlers, wife whippers and family de-
serters, forgers, libertines, liars dead beats
and tramps. Think better of our New AL
bany young men, who are respectable,
though they may not have wealth and posi-
ton. Think of these few lines" girls, and
be careful who you go With, even though he
be not a stranger; bat be careful OF strangers.
