Of last week, Huff Dunkin, . well

ly farmer, then q shipper Of live
stock, and latterly proprietor of q
livery stable, left home without ma
king his destination known. He left
q letter, we understand, directed to
his father r-in-law, in which he said
that he did not intend to return. He
had become badly involved, financial
ly, while shipping stock, and finding
that he would be unable to pay out,
seems to have lacked courage to re-
main and witness his own financial
collapse, the grief Of his estimable
wife and the distress of her relatives
and his own who had gone his secur-
fly. We understand he left an as
signment of what property he had to
his securities. He leaves behind him
numerous small debts to business
men Of our city, besides the larger
ones which were secured. We do
not know that he was owing the far
mers for any Of the stock he shipped,
and, If not, his losses ON stock as q

Deep blowing enables in dry

the roots of crops and in wet weather
the superabundance Of rain can sink

drowned.
This extra blowing enables the
roots of crops to feed deeper, but II
also destroys the eggs of crop enc.

crops it gives us greater length a

inches added to carrots, beets and

Frequent plOwing aids the absorp

Wade and Toombs.

Wade one day replied to Toombs,
of Georgia, and to all appearance us
ed language which would compel
Toombs to challenge him. Several
friends went to Wade and begged
him to desist, but the old man grew
more and more violent, until Toombs
indicated his intention Of calling
Wade to account for the language he
was using, when Wade quietly sat
down, seemingly having accomplish
ed his object.
The Southern men looked at each
other in surprise, and it was manifest
to oil that Wade had deliberately
sought quarrel with Toombs. That
night friend of the southern Sena-
tor called on Mr.. Wade to know If
he would retract the offensive words
he had used.
"No, i won't take back a word"
was Wade's emphatic reply.
"Then," said the friend Of Mr..
Toombs, "it will be necessary for SEN
ator Toombs to challenge you to NOR
tai combat"
"That is just what want, and we
might have got to the point without
all this palaver," said Wade.
"You surely cannot be in earnest,
Mr.. Wade," said the Southerner.
"Why, of course I am. You see,
sir, we northern men do not like to
fight. Now, l am opposed to the
code, and so are my constituents but
you fellows have broken Summers
head, and we must spunk up little
or you will break all our heads. The
shortest way to end the matter 10 to
kill Off few Of you, and have pick
ed upon old Toombs 40 my man; he
will have to challenge me. Thon,
Of course, will have the choice OF
weapons, and will take my old rife
and - me If don't bring him
down at the first crack" 8
| When Toombs heard of what Wade
said he replied, II can't challenge
him If do he will kill me"
| II appears that Toombs and Wade
had been out together shooting with
q rifle several timcsand, while Toombs
could shoot we'll witha pistol, he waa
q poor rifle shot. Wade was an old
hunter. and at distance Of 100 yards
could hit dollar almost every shot.
l Mr.. Wade afterwards said to the
writer: III old Toombs had chal-
lenged me that time. a. I expected he
would I would have made him put q
patch on his coat the size of a dollar,
over his heart, and the old fellow
would have got demoralized when he
saw me drawing bead on it, and
missed me, while - me il / wouldn't
have cut the patch
| Not only did Toombs refuse to
challenge Wade, but no Southern
nlember could ever be induced "a
to send him . challenge, NO matter
what he might say.

A half hours pleasant interview
with Hayes Is not sufficient provoca-

is q pleasant, unpretentious, amiable
gentleman, with q good digestion,
healthy body and good head Of brains
of indifferent quality. He has never

put wrinkle in his forehead. Life
has been smooth-sailing with him
and has never stirred him to any in
tensity of conviction or reflection
He got two fortunes by will; q Con-
gressman's least important place to
which it just suited his own powers
to give NO Importance of his own. He
got Governorship by negative avail
ability;a q Presidential nomination by
happy accident for him when his
party abdicated it's search for brains
and leadership and turned to the
chances blind luck would give it. He
got Presidency like his fortune-s
lucky good title to prosperity which
another man had earned. And prob
ably the motive predominant with

title. He would rather be growled

why Don't You Run Away.

in Warrington to beg money from
Northern Congressmen to buy their
freedom. A poor but smart-looking
boy accosted Mr.. Wade while he wal
in conversation with . promiscuoua
company Of Northern and Southern
Senators, and began to beg for money
to buy his freedom. II never give
money to buy slaves, said Mr.. Wade
when, seeing the pleasant looks Of the
Southern men, he turned I'd the boy
and asked: "Why the devil don't
you run away?" The Southernera
stared at one another, and the darkey
started of with new idea in hii
