Tobacco Notes for January.

We begin our suggestions for the new
year to the tobacco plarter, by advising
the diminution of area planted in tobacco.
That does not involve the necessity of a
lessening of The crop by any means. 1t is
in the experience of every successful
planter that two thousand pounds Of to-
bacco can be raised to the acre as easily
as one thousand pounds, so far as culture
is concerned. 1t is simply question Of
manure or no manure. Twenty five wagon
loads of manure per acre will be found
cheaper than FIVE wagon loads. In the
culture of tobacco, more mind or intellect
can and ought to he exercised than in the
culture of any other crop. 1t is impos-
slble, if our whole journal was filed month
ly with essays upon the culture of tobacco
to do the subject justice by giving direc
tions upon everything to be done in every
locality. We therefore earnestly recon-
mend that even he experts in the culture
of tobacco spend the present month in
studying up improved methods of culture
and give the public the benefit Of their
theories and practices in this journal dur
ing the coming year. In the meanwhile,
let each one 60 on making tobacco beds.

Got his Wish Gratified.

One of the disciples of Blackstone, in
neighboring county, has proved that to
wish for thing is to obtain it. He Lad
frequently expressed wish that his
Christmas present would be a nice "Afri-
can" Some of the ladies hearing of his
wants, generously concluded that so small
a craving should not be doomed to dis
appoin ment, and accordingly procured
for and presented him with as beautiful a
china negro baby dol as could be obtain
ed in EastoH for tive cents. It's character
istics were that it was as black as coal, the
curly head vel s!own, eyesas bright teeth
as white. lips as red as the finest specimen
Ethiopia ever produced. The young law
yer has searched the dictionary since and
discovered that it was an afghan" he
wanted instead of an "African.
The poor sufferer that has been dosing him
self with so-called Troches and thereby upset
his stomach without curing the troublesome
cough should take our advice and use at once
DR.. Bulls Cough Ryrup and get well.

THE Ashton Comedy Co., which made
an attempt to show here short time
ago, made its final "burst-up" at Clays-
vile. w. Va, last week, leaving the
members of the troupe without cent.
The company was practically disbanded
at Cadiz, before it came here. where the
manager, the leading lady, eloped with a
travelling salesman named Kent, taking
the assets of the company and leaving
salaries unpaid. With the company was
young girl. aged 16, who q of a good
family in Cleveland, named Madigan,
and who had always aspired to be star,
and being offered this position by the
remnant of the company continued with
them. After the "burst-up" at Clays-
vile she had barely money enough left
to return to Wheeling, where she tried
to sell her hair as last resort to raise
money to take her home, being too
proud to send to her father for assist
ance. She was fortunate enough to be
unable to dispose of her hair,
which was very beautiful and reached
below her waist, although she offered it
for S5. As a last resort she telegraphsd
her father, from whom a money order
was received, and she started for home
wiser and much happier girl. The re-
mainder of the troupe is left at Clays-
vile literally penniless.

MRS. ELEANOR G. SUTTON, relict of
the late Lewis Sutton, died suddenly, on
Tuesday night, at the residence of her
son, David M. Sutton. Esq, 21l miles
east of this place, aged "a years. A few
days ago she fell in the yard, from a
slight attack of vertigo, suffering some
slight bruises, but was about the house as
usual on Tuesday. complaining of moth
ing save pain in the breast. The fam
lily physician, DR.. Alexander, visited her
in the afternoon, but did not discover
any alarming symptoms in her case.
Her daughter, Mrs. George Brown, of
this place, went down during the day,
and remained. The family retired as
usual. Mrs. Brown and her mother oc-
cupying the same bed. About midnight
the daughter awoke and found the
mother cold in the embrace of death,
she probably having died without a
struggle. Death, in its most cheerful
phase. is cruel enough, but when it
comes into home where love and ten
derness dwells, and claims for its VIC
tim an aged mother, without granting
her children and friends the sad privi-
lege of ministering to her dying wants.
and of watching the life-light fade from
her eyes. is verse than pitiless.
In maidenhood, deceased bore the
name OF McWilllams, but in April, 1917,
she united her life and fortunes with
Lewis Sutton, who died the 9th of
April Of the present year. She was a
woman of rare good sense, and all along
her pathway in life she left the impress
of her good works. Fondly loved by
children and relatives, and respected by
all who knew her, her death is greatly
lamented.
The funeral will take place from her
late residence, on Friday, at o'clock

/: THE large barn on the farm of VIM.
Knox. in the southeastern part of this
township. near Franklin station, with
all its contents, was burned shorty after
noon, on Thursday. The men folks had
gone to the fields, and the first intima-
tion had of the fire by the women at the
house, was from the cracking of the
burning building. About 500 bushels
of wheat were in the barn. besides hay
and large lot of farm implements, all
of which were burned. The loss will
reach $500 to $4,000. The fire cannot
be accounted for on any other theory
than that it was the work of An incen-
diary. Insured in the Ohio Farmers for
5000 on building and $500 on contents.
