A beautiful young girl was arrested
last night at place of bad character,
on information that she had run away
from home, and she was locked up in
the stationhouse. She arrived here
from Greenville, Mississippi, on Satur-
day morning last and at once entered
the place whore she was found. Her
name is Maud Stafford, and her father
is prominent citizen of Greenville.
During the spring she visited in this
city and was much admired. A num-
Der Of her former suitors visited the
stationhOuse last night and cndeAvored
to obtain an interview with her, but
were all refused. One of them grew
SO impatient that he lost lis self-con :
troll and in a fit of passion dashed a
fine gold watch to fragments on the
window sill. Parts of it we're found
lying about this mornint. The girl
talked freely aud was horror struck
when shown the cell she must occupy
at the station. 1t was not sild-d. She
seemed determined to plunge deeper
into the dark way she had. chosen,
Her father WAS notified and she wa,
sent to the Mission Home.

WILL Hang To-Day mt the City of
COrinth, MississtDDi.

Will Hang To-Day at the City OF
COrinth, mississippi.
People arriving in the city to-day
by the Charleston railway relate an
immense crowd gathering at Corinth,
Mississippi, to witness the hanging
announced to come off between noon
and two o'clock this afternoon.
A gallows had been erected in the
eastern part Of the town, at a point
where the view was unobstructed, and
the surrounding grounds were spacious
enough to accommodate the people of
the whole country round.
The name of.the murderous male
factor whose end is to be SO ignomini-
Gus, is Henry s. Smith, a white man,
who killed James Burke, also white,
in April, $780, four miles north of
huntsville, Mississippi. The MUIR
derer escaped capture at the time, but
was afterwards taken near West
Point, conveyed to Iuka, was convict
ed at Corinth, to which point he was
taken for trial upon change of venue,
and was afterwards confined in jail at
Tupelo, Mississippi.
Some time since Smith made some
notoriety by trying to starve himself.
For twelve consecutive days he tasted,
not touching the slightest particle of
food, but the pangs of hunger being
too much for him he began to devour
his regular rations at the expiration of
the time named.
The culprit was taken from the
Tupelo Jail and escorted to Corinth on
Saturday last so as to be the prime
actor in to days hanging frolic at that
place.
The circumstances of the killing
are stated to have been that the two
men were travelling together in com
pany with woman, going toward the
Tennessee river. A quarrel occurred
between the two men while at Corinth
Leaving there together some time
after night, while Byrnes was fixing
the harness of their team, Smith
slipped up on and murdered him with
an ak, afterward hiding the body in
pond. He travelled on with the
woman, threatening her with death if
she divulged what she knew of the
murder. At the next stopping place,
however, she related the particulars,
when Smith ran away, but was after
ward taken as related.

he acquitted himself so we'll that pro-
motion to a more responsible post,
and an increase Of salary soon follow
ed. He is pronounced too young

It is said that his absence in the city
of Vicksburg kept a steamer waiting
two hours for inspection. We venture
to say that there is no young man Of
this city who has braved and borne
more in the presence Of epiaemics
than has DR.. Ashe during our past

ORCHARD.

A practical frui! grower gives the
following as his orchard management
which in the main will be adVan'
tageous 10 all climates and sofia:
iIn three years, | improved tho
production of my fruit trees from fit
teen two hundred bushels by treat
ing them in the following manner :;
| first reduced the top one fourth !;
then 10 the fall plowed the soil as
we'll as could, it being quite rocky,
and turned q short furrow toward
the trees. AS worked from them,
I let the plow fall little lower, and
when between the trees, | allowed
the pillow to run deep, so that the
water would settle away from them
in the spring l hauled fair guam
ti.y Of coarse manure, pulverized 1t
we'll and ma ked out hills, manuriug
each hill. planted corn and beans
and pumpkins. The following spring
/ repeated the same cultivation My
trees began to grow very fast, and
that fall | harvested seventy bushels
of very good apples. The following
spring, | MANFRED for the third time;
planted it to potatoes, which grew
very large, but rotted badly. l
made up the loss, however, by bar
vesting two hundred bushels OF large
fruit. changed the production OF
a yellow bellehower tree from three
fourths of bushel to seven bushels,
and sold them for $l.25 per buShel,
which | think a very good return
for my labor. From my experience,
am of the opinion that most trees
have too much top for the amount Of
roots, and a deficiency of nourlSh
ment for producing a developed
fruit. | like fall or winter pruning
Always cover cut with grating wax

FOOD FOR FOWLS.

A writer 10 the Country Gentle
mau discusses the flavor in fowls
flesh. Among other remarks he
says:
That breed has something to do
with it may not be denied, but that
food has more can safely be credit
ed. Food not only affects the flavor
but the quality and quantity also.
Fowls that are fetteued on corn alone
produce not Only sweet Favored
flesh and plenty of it, but the fat is
apt to be oily and possess & strong,
unpleasant odor. This is in a great
measure groverned by the breed.
The email fowls are superior where
quality is desired fact but where
quantity is desideratum, irrespec-
tive of other qualities, the larger
fowls may be cultivated, especially
the Asiatics. Buck wheat max es
fine, white flesh, but nothing havors
it like ground corn or oats intermix :
ed equally, and scalded or mOisten
ed sufficiently with either milk or
water, but not enough for the milk
to run. This should be given fresh
each day, aud not allowed to sour OF
ferment, Fowlsrequire good, sweet
food. MuSty meal or mouldy grain
are always unsuitable. For table
use, where fine flavor is desired,
fowls should be confined in clean
quarters, and be fed on wholesome
food for at least one week be
fore slaughter. Where fowls are
confined in small compass, some alb
eoroeut should be used to neutralize
the droppings, otherwise. the flesh
will become tainted from the disa-
greeable odor arising therefrom.
For this purpose there is nothing
better than air slaked lime or IN.
leached wood ashes, where there is
sufficient ventilation.

COST OF FENCES.

To give some idea of their great
cost we here append these facts,
taken from the Farmers Union, up
on this subject
The fence is a costly fixture.
IIloinois is said to have ten times as
much fence as thu whole of Ger
many, and it is claimed that Duch'
ess county, New York, has more
than all France, Germany and Hol-
land. A few years since in South
Carolina the improved land was es
,imsted to be worth s2O,0OO,Ooo,
The fences at The same time had est
S17.O00,000. The annual repair is
a tenth of this. a calculation made
some eight years sioce placed The
cos, Of the fences in the United
States at 1900, 100000. Nicholas
Riddle, more than forty years ago,
SAID the fences in Pennsylvania had
cost 100000, 900. In Ohio they
cost more than that sum, and in New
York only few years since, they
had cost Sl44, 100000. Some day
fences will probably disappear, and
boundaries will be marked with
fruit and shade trees or neat hedge
rows.

ways been held preeminent. Her popu-

she has been held, has been increased, il
1t were possible to increase 1t by the
course she has taken in regard to the
sad event which has thrown the United

messages of sympathy and coincidence

sincerity Of the sentiments expressed
