a Tree Inhabited Seven Years.
Midway Ky.l C%lipper.l
Since giving an account last week of
the large sycamore tree on Mr., +. B.
Harper's place, we have learned that
its history is even more interesting
than we supposed. The mar who
made it his place Of refuge was named
Charles COlston, and was an uncle.
aad not grandfather of Harry Colston.
He was the grandfather of Abe Perry,
the trainer, and also of Luke Black
burn, the Versailles barber, and was,
at that time, nearly sixty years ago,
the carriage driver of Lerd Robert
Alexander, Sr. Taking offense at
something, he informed the house girl
that he intended to drive the carriage
over the precipice and kill his master.
She reported what had been com
mUnieated to her, and Charles was
sold TO a Southern trader, as stated.
He was shipped South, where he
picked cotton halfa day, and knocked
his oyerseer in the head with a hoe.
Escaping Immediately, he made his
way to Kentucky and took refuge in
the tree referred to, where he lived
seven years before his hiding place
became known. He was taken to the
Versailles Jail after being captured,
where he was confined for some time.
He was a~fterward bought by Mr..
Miles, who hen owned the Harper
place, and at a later date was sent
South again, since which nothing has
been heard Of him.

Little Rock Democrat: Freighting
on the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad is still heavy. We are glad
to know that the 'old reliable is

The State land Office is still dispos-
ing of a large amount of lands. There
are about fifty applications for land
that have not yet been reached, on ac-
count of press of business.
After the 9th of February all par.
ties holding certificates can purchase

Pine Bluff Press: 1t is to be hoped
that our farmers and planters will not
90 wild over the advance in cotton
this season and forget to plant plenty
of corn and SOW a sufficient quantity
Of spring oats. 1t may be hat they
will have to sell their cotton at lower
figures next season and pay higher
prices for corn, hay and other feed
stuffs. Would it not be the wisest
course to raise everything we can for
eating purposes and then the balance
of our cleared land to be devoted to
cotton.
Little Rock Gazette: The work of
removing the Richardson pavement
began yesterday. The entire chain
gang were employed and started to
work in front of the city hall. There
is not q sound block in the ~paven.est.
Since 1872, the time when the unfOrt-
unate plan was executed, the blocks
have been absorbing water, and, being
too deeply buried to be dried by the
suns rays, we had for some time a
wet, rotting bed beneath us. Macadam
will supplant the blocks. Then and
and not until then, will we have the
streets at all worthy the lame Of a

Fort Smith Independent Big
Creek Township is never backward
in any thing, and now adds another
laurel to its proud banner. Miss
Susie Cobb, about u years old,
daughter Of our old friend MI. j. II.
Cobb, raised a bale Of cotton the past
season on three-quarters of an acre,
that weighed $50 pounds. 1t was
brought to this market and sold to
Nh. VIM. Breen for S61.9s. The only
assistance Miss Susie had was from
her father, who plOwed it for her.
This is industry in its purest elements,
and is a lesson that ought to ring in
the ears of the boys of this county.

Mr.. Peters, of Georgia, says =
AS an instance Of the precocity and
fecundity Of the Jerseys, | mention
q case which recently occurred on
my farm. On the 18th of January,
1879, one of my thoroughbred Jer>
seys dropped fine heifer calf
This calf, for special reasons, and
contrary to my custom, was allowed
to run in the pasture with her moth
err. On the 10th Of December, 1879,
the COW dropped another fine heifer
calf, and on the 14th of February,
1880, the heifer calf that was drops
ped 18th of January 1879, brought
a heifer calf Of vigorous constitution
and Of average size. She is now
yielding over six quarts Of milk per
day. Il will be seen, therefore, that
this Jersey heifer dropped a calf
when she was only twelve months
and twen,yssix days old. ] am in
formed that gentleman in Mobile
had one to drop a calf when twelve
months and ten days old. Instances
Of their breeding at thirteen or four
teen months are not uncommon.

by mixing it with oat meal, and the
neighbors called in to enjoy the
feast. In England they use the
milk after the third milking. In
the Northern States it is used after
the ninth milking, and in Virginia
after the ninth day. In Georgia
the old rule was thirty days. The

GRASS.

Mr.. Peters gives his experience
in sowing grass : "This spring l
have sown eighty-fve acres in culti'
waited grasses, sixty of which are
sown without small grain and TWEEN
ty~fve wheat land. All sown in
February and March. used
mixture of two bushels orchard
grass, one bushel meadow fescue,
known at the West as English blue
grass, and altogether superior to the
Kentucky blue grass. 1t is known
in England as meadow fescue and is
highly valued by English farmers.
| used also three pounds OF white
clover, and six pounds of red clover
per acre.
This is heavy seeding, but the
object being to secure sod at the
earliest practicable time and making
allowance for some to be destroyed
By the bot and dry weather of July
and August, decided upon the
above mixture and quantity.
For wet places used the red top
at the rate of one bushel per acre,
sown alone.
Timothy has not been of any SER
vice on my farm either for hay or
pasturage ! it has a bulbous root
near the surface and does not stand
our summers, but | understand that
in some of the mountain coves in
Northeast Georgia it is highly val
ued.
A friend recently wrote from Tex
as wishing to put 1000 acres in
grass, aud asking what kinds to SOW
for stock. | advised him to post
pone seeding until September on ac>
count of the native grasses and
being liable to choke out improved
grasses, if sown in Spring. Then
to depend mainly on the orchard
grass, using from two to three BUSH
els per acre. | also advised him to
sow, during the Spring from one to
two pounds of each of the grasses he
could find advertised in the seed
catalogues to SOW them on the
same soil that he intends to use as
his grass pasture, and to SOW in
drills so that they can be kept free
from weeds and native grasses /;
that though nine>tenths of them
would prove worthless, he might
find probably one besides the orch~
ard grass which will suit his soil and
climate.

q. o. Supervisors.

The Republicans desirs the appoint
msnt of supervisors Of The assessment
list or ret istration of voters in order
that there may be fair assessment and
. fGir eec,ion next November. Hereto
fore men who have given their names
TO the asse, s)r have not been assessed
or at least their names did not appear
on the list Of taxables and they were
consequently disfranchised. The OBJ
jsct is TO prevent such wholesale dis
franchisement, and If names HANDED to
the ass 1884, do not appear on the dupli-
cate next Spring, the said officer shall
be cited to appear before the U. s.
Court and show cause for such omission
Or suffer the penalty provided for such
offence. The assessors, clerks of the
peace and collectors will take notice
that they must deal honestly and fairly
or bear the consequences. The Repub
lieans appear determined to have
pretty full assessment or they will find
ont if possible the reason why. If the
officers will persist in an effort to dis
franchise citizens they will take notice
that they will get into trouble, and in
the end may learn that honesty is the
best policy and fair dealing the highest
sxpediency.

Mixed schools.

The education Of boys and girls in
the same school room appears to have
been attended with advantage wher-
ever the system has been adopted. In
the college as well as the primary school
the experiment has been found to work
we'll. The young ladies appear to exert
a restraining influence over the conduct
Of ysung men, leading to the mainte-
nance of better order and stimulating
each sex to greater effort to attain thor
oughness in their studies. Both sexes
when in the presence Of each other ap-
pear to be put on their good behavior,
leading to neatnsss of dress, chasteness
Of language, and desire TO please,
while there have been very few com
plants Of undue familiarity. This has
been the experience at Vassar, Della
ware College and other institutions.
We therefore see no good reason why
the system Of the co-edueation Of the
sexes should not be tried in the high
school in our city. In the boys de-
partmsnt there are many vacant seats,
while the girls department is full and
many pupils are waiting for admission.
The Board of Education should there
fors permit the experiment TO be made
80 that the vacant seats shall ba ecou-
pied. We understand that the Super
Intendent and other teachers favor il,
and it seems to us that sound policy re.
luires the trial of plan that has sue
,esdeu so well elsewhere. At any rate
provision should be made for the &C
Of the young ladies who
wish to bs promoted, and new room
hould be provided or the seats in the
'cys' department should be occupied.
