| From the Bristol News.
We have in our previous articles
insisted on making tobacco of large
size-whether intended for wrap
ping or shipping purposes--to do
this, two two thigs are necessary, good
land and good cultivation. The
working should commence as soon
as the plants starts to grow. If the
ground is light and loose, GO oyer
with the hoes scraping down the
hill, and putting little fresh dirt to
the plant-wherever it can be done,
the new ground coulter and bull
tongues should be fully used. Moth
ing but deep and thorough tillage
will secure size and substance so
much desired in the leaf One scrap
ing down, and two plowings and
killings will be enough, except in
very foul land. One thing is certain,
if the grass ever gets a good start in
the tobacco ground, you may never
expect good crop of tobacco. If
the tobacco starts to grow off with a
narrow leaf, the remedy is deep
blowing either with a coulter or bull
tongue. Run close to the plant so
as to break all the roots possible.
This checks the growth and causes
new and more vigorous growth
to set in as soon as it rains.
To be a good tobacco planter, a
man must have pluck, patience and
experience. He must be ambitious
to excel. Then experience is the.
best teacher. Beginners generally
expect too much. They fail, become
discouraged, and abandon the bust
ness. This came very near being
the case with one of our most sue
cesful planters. He tried tobacco
two years in succession, and failed
utterly every time-did not get but
4 cents pound for his tobacco-a
poor nondescript leaf He was the
best farmer in his neighbOrhOod, a
progressive man, and we were anX-
ious for him to succeed in tobacco.
We persuaded him to try once more.
He agreed to try one acre only.
We got him to use one sack of
fertilizer on that acre. The product
was sold in our ware house for
$4,000. That set him all right. |
Last year he had in four acres. We
sold his crop at an average Of 20
cents. The four acres yielded him
s657OO. Two of the four he cult
waited himself, the other two were |
cultivated by tenants. The tobacco |
on the acres cultivated by himself
sold for $500, being 1920 per acre.
He used 200 lbs. of fertilizer to
the acre. He says he is not salts
fed with $3.50 to the acre that he
to go to 1915 to the acre
this year. This crop was made on
End and Bird year land. The name
of this planter is J. M. Shankle, and !
his post office is Bristol, Tenn. So
much for pluck, patience and perse-
But for these qualities
Mr.. Shankle would have abandoned
tobacco entirely after his End years

When the happy time comes that
the work of the Church will not be
left to the few while the many
shirk, rate of progress will be
realized undreamed of now.
When a Christian stop praying
vaguely and eoolly for the salvation
of all men, and goes to work for the
salvation of one man within his
reach, you may be sure he is in
earnest.
United Ireland could at any time
during the last half century have
been free Ireland. The concession
just made by the British Govern
ment is a recognition Of compare
tive Irish unity. 1t is hoped that
the lesson will not be lost on that
warm blooded and gallant people.
The habit of half;jocular irony
and badinage among ministers and
other Christians often destroys the
sweetness and profit of their associa-
ton with each other to an extent
not thought of by them. It's evils
are both objective and subjective.

also been reported.

A Haunted Churchyard.
From the London Telegraph ]

lFrOm tue Louuon IeleSrhpn.J
In the county Of Stafford, about
two miles northwest Of Dudley
and one mile from Sedgley, lies the
village Of Lower Gornal. This
place during the last few weeks
has been IN y state of great excite
ment, in consequence of certain
rumors being prevalent that ghosts
were to be seen walking about st.
James's Churchyard.
The Rev. ]. Y. Rocker, the vi
car, two years ago was fired at and
badly injured, and several persons
who knew Mr.. Rockers would.be
assassin asserted that they had
seen him lurking about, while 9th
ers declared that figures had been
observed walking up and down the
field which led from the viearage
into the churchysrd, performing
all kinds of strange antics. In
consequence Uf these statements, .
large num- ber Of persons became 80
terrified as to declare openly that
on no account would they walk
nsar the churchyard after dark,
and sOfrlghtened were the female
members Of the choir that they re-
fused to 60 to practice 1t night un-

for protection. The police have
been called upon to inquire into
the truth of the rumor, but they
have not in any way been success
full in solving the mystery.
Knowing that the vicar had
been permanently injured by
former attack, band of young
men pledged themselves to watch
and infiict summary punishmsnt
on any person found attempting to
attack him or his family. On the
very first night one of these velun-
teerr, not acting In concert with
the others, appeared on the scene
to take his share in the watching;
but, not being recognized In the
dark, a cry was raised that he was
the guilty individual, and it was
only by scaling the garden wall
and getting into the back OF o
house that he evaded his pureuere.
On Saturday evening, Nov. 26,
voices were heard in the vicarage
garden, and the police we're sent
for. but no person could be discov-
cred, although every corner was

and Mr.. RooFer, upon going out,
was seized by a man, who cried
out, "YOu have come to kill the
Vicar, have you? I've sworn to
take your life, yeu villain, and I'll
do it quick" Lights being pro-
cured, the reverend gentleman's
assailant was found to be a neigh.

The Sidewalks.

EDITOR HERALD: Out Of the
g ieat number of visitors who
throng Los Angeles, there 10
scarcely an instance in which they
do not complain of our dilapidated
sidewalks. In days gone by, when
material was scarce and labor
high, it was oil very well to adopt
the best and cheapest means at
hand to provide sidewalk; but,
now that the town is occupying a
high standing among tbs cities of
the West, II is, to cay the least,
strange that 1t should not be some.
what ahead In the matter of town
conveniences OF what 1t was ten or
fifteen years ago. People who
have resided here some time, have
become accustomed to the condi-
tlon of the streets; and. conse-
quently, have expended their
rightful amount OF grumbling.
Now comes the strangers turn.
The sidewalks are depiOrable and
everybody knows 1t. A walk
along them, instead of being q
pleasure, is a burden. What with
nails sticking out half an inch and
more, and the large knots that are
not worn down to the average level,
walking is hard tack. THIS is an |
evil which the new Council can
gain great reputation by remedy |

not incur any great outlay there.

have, more or less, some hobby |
horse to ride, or some scheme by |
which to propitiate their con.
stituents, and It would be wrong to

not only for the good Of the people
but Ter the credit of the city, 1t
would be we'll for all the members
to take this subject under carefal
