Hon. Gus. a. Henry, whose death
was briefly mentioned in last weeks
CITIZEN, was born in Kentucky, and at
an early age removed to GAINESVILLE to
follow his profession, the law. He
was the oldest, as well as the ablest,
member OF that bar, which is one of the
most distinguished in the state. He
was elected to the lower house of the
general assembly in 1887, and again in
1851. He was elector for the State az
large during the memorable Clay cam.
paign of 1914. He was a member OF
the Baltimore convention that nominal
ted Bell and Everett. He was defeated
for congress by Hon. Cave johnson,
and, after a brilliant campaign in 1853,
was defeated by Andrew Johnson, for
governor. He was elected to the Con-
federate senate in 1861, and became the
confidential adviser and administration
leader. At the time of his death he
was in the seventy-sixth year of his
age. His funeral takes place in Clarks-
vile to-day.

THE FIRSTIGUNI
Sends a Solid Shot Straight into
the Republican Stronghold.
NJ aine Elects, Democratic
Governor and Legislature.

Almost complete returns from the
election in Maine Monday assure the
election of Plaisted, fusionist, over Da-
Wis, republican, by from 5000 to 5000
majority. The largest vote ever re-
corded was polled. The fusionists Sc
| cure the governor, three congressman,
a majority on joint ballot in the legis-
lature. This gives a fusion senator to
succeed Senator Hamlin. The success
! is substantially a democratic victory, as
nearly all of the fusionists came from
the democratic ranks. Senator Blaine
comedies the governorship and two
congressman to the fusionists, in a
plaintive dispatch to Gen. Garfield, and
charges fraud-of counsel He claims a
majority in the legislature, because he
hated to give it all up in one dispatch,
but the returns make it doubtful, while
the democrats boldly claim a majority
on joint ballot. He says it was a great
surprise to his lieutenants, who had just
finished counting noses that brought
their ticket out 5000 ahead. Sad, how
everl Sometimes a man knows the
noses are all noes, when he opens his
eyes to find some of them ayes. You
can't always sometimes tell. This is
the first boom OF the great Hancock
boom. Democrats all over the Union
are jutilant, and republicans all over
the RATION are bowed down and their
knees smite together as they read the
handwriting on the wall.

Bill the Banker,

The annals OF the poor are short and simple.
They record, however, heroic deeds One
of these records tells how poor NAVY be-
came Il hero by forgetting SELF even while
death was clutching him.
Years ago, when England was digging
canals, the laborer who delvcd therein was
called NAVY.
The name, an abridgement ofnavigator, con-
nected i'll the public mind the digger with
works for internal navigation. In the course
of time it came to designate laborer on rail
roads and other public works.
This navy was called "Bil the banker

lie was a "top,man" over a shaft ola tun-
mel which was being cut on railway. The
shaft was two hundred feet deep, and ran
down through solid rock.
Bills duty was to watch the large iron
bucket filled with rocks, as il was hoistcd from
the bottom run it to the t0p-cart, and return
ii empty to the navvies below.
If rock fell off the bucket Bill shouted
"Waur out below !" and the men ran further
back into the drive.
One day, as Bill was leaning over the
shaft, swinging in loaded bucket, his foot
slipped and he fell into the shaft. He knew
he would be dashed to a jelly; but he thought
OF his mates below.
If he screamed, they would rush out to learn
the cause ofthe unusual noise and some OF
them would be smashed by his heavy body
Ifany of them were at the bottom and he
did not give the usual warning they wouldbt
killed.
His mates heard one moment his clear voice
"Waur out below the next, the thud OF his
smashed body. They were saved.
"Bll the banker" was more then Il poor
uneducated navy; he was a hero. For the

Directions for Pruning.

T. Du Boreuil in his work on pruning and
training fruit trees published in France, laws
down the following rules, based on the fun
damental principles underlying the whole
method:
l. The permanency of form in trained trees
is dependent on the equal diffusion of sap.
2. Prune the strong branches short, but al
low the weak ones to grow long.
3. Depress the strong parts of the tree, and
elevate the weak branches.
4. Suppress the useless buds on the strong
parts as soon as possible, and as late as posi-
BILE on the weak parts.
D. Nail up the strong parts very early, and
very close to the wall
q. Delay mailing the weak parts as long as
possible.
z. Suppress a number of leaves on the
strong side, and leave all upon the weak
side.
8. Bring forward the weak side from the
wall and keep the strong side close to it.
.. The sap developes the branches much
more vigorously upon a branch cut short
than upon one left long.
III. The more the sap is retarded in its cir
culation, the less wood and the more fruit
buds will develop.
IL. 10 retard excessive growth, durug all-
tumn, either root prune, or remove the trees
or in the spring expose the roots to the sun,
and keep manure and water from them; retard,
ing the excessive vigor of the tree leads to its
fruit bearing
II. Keep the fruit as far as possible vertical,
and their stems lowermost.
IL. Let the leaves lap over the fruit till
nearly ripe, when the light, as well as heat,
must be allowed to bear on the fruit

The Possible Yield Of Corn,

fcorn be planted in drills three and one
hmlifeet apart, and four kernels in Hill, every
twenty eight inches of drill there are 1888
hills or q 1882 stalks to the acre. A nine
inches ear of Waushakum corn, thoroughly
dried, yielded 2, 10 grains weight; or thirty
one hundredths of a pound of shelled grain.
If each stalk should average but one such ear,
the harvest would be 1913 pounds, or one
hundred and thirty-siX bushels per acre. 1t
would require but an average of about enc
half grain per stalk to furnish two-hun-
drcd bushel crop. Expcrimentaly in the gar
den we have secured over forty ounces or two
and one-half pounds from single kernel
planted, so there is no end to the possibilities
OF the crop. In practice, however we have
never realized over one hundred and twenty
three bushels per acre while an average crop
on large areas has not exceeded seventy or
eighty bushels The first effort to improve
corn now, starting with satisfactory kernels
and ears, is to eliminate the barrenness of
stalks so the each and every stalk shall per-
form its duty. There is no trouble in secur-
ing large percentage of fruitful stalks, or
even small percentage of twin or triple
cared stalks; but when we hope to secure
all such, then we find the difficulty Seed
corn must be bred, and skillfuliy bred, toward
fruitfulness, before we can anticipate very
striking results.-PlOacmdn

and it may produce lameness for months /; in
deed we know of cases in which this was not
got over for five, six and even twelve months.
In such cases, however, we think that the
horse should remain carefully shod, but the
shoes should not be removed or changed in
some cases for two months, and in most cases
for from six to seven weeks.
The hoofs of some horses naturally become
very brittle and even powdery In such
cases they should be frequently moistened
with wet cloths tied around them until
brought to II proper condition. Common
moss is excellent, and should be kept con-
stantly ON hand and moistened when used
frequent driving in wet weather on muddy
roads will have the same effect. In shoeing
such horses the utmost care must be taken,
so that while giving the nails secure hold
to avoid pricking, as little pairing as possible
should be done.

way in which he would wish to be advanced,
His Majesty having particularly noticed his
courageous conduct, and being DESTROYS to re-
