Directions for Planting and Cults
waiting the straw WbeFry.

We prefer planting in the spring as early as the
ground will permit; but pOtgruwn plants set in
August or September VII produce good crop
the next season. For garden culture, the most
convenient method is to plant in beds four feet
wide, three rows in each bed. and plants one foot
apart in the row. Thoroughly enrich the soil dig
deep keep cican Of weeds, cover lightly in winter
with corn stalks or some coarse litter, Iake off in
the spring, dress the beds and mulch with the
same Litter or S !Ort grass from the lawn.
Plant a new bed every year, spade under after
the second crop, and 50 insure plenty OF berries,
and eyado unsightly beds.

Of the movement being one Carpenter,

foe out Of him for some service
claimed, and on his refusal dared him
TO fight it out, and called him liar.
Cox went to tho State House and there
met Aston. After some talk he was
going out, when he was pulled back
by somc one and Alston began firing.
He returned tho fire and killed
Alston. His testimony closed with
tho words, GAS God Is my witness,

Before God, no man can regret it moro
than do" AS he went to his scat
tears were IN his cycs and the audience
was affected. His plea is TINT a con-
