A STRICT FATHER.
From the Arkansas Traveller.

My father was very strict man
with his children, said one of the
Supreme Judges of Arkansas, 'and l
don't think that ever knew him to
swerve one inch from a fixed pur
pose. He looked upon a boyish
prank as a violation of The family
law, and | don't think on. such an
occasion be ever failed to administer
punishment. One morning while the
family we're at breakfast | went out
to the we'll, unwound the chain from
the windlass and let the bucket 90
down to the water. | thought it
would be a good joke to tell bin that
the bucket was in the we'll, and just
as he became concerned, to draw it
up and have a laugh at his expense
Buckets down in the we'll, said,
when | entered the dining ROOM
The old gentleman didn't say any
thing, and | intended to correct the
statement, but bending my energi GO
to the demands of boys keen ap>
petite, | soon forgot my joke. After
breakfast the old gentleman walked
to the blacksmith's shop, about four
miles distant, and had 40 iron hook
made. He returned home. cut q
long pole, and spent some time in
fitting the hook on the end of it |
noticed the work, but it did not ocs
cur to me that | was the instig ator of
the performance. When the pole
was properly arranged he went to
the we'll and began to fish for the
bucket. The bucket that l had
lowered had been drawn up, but the
other one had been let down. was
afraid to say anything, so l went
down to the barn aud played around
long time Finally | went back
to the house, reaching there just as
the old gentleman brought the buck
ct from the well He looked at the
chain, then at the windlass and then
at me.
'Didn't you tell me that the buck
ct was il the we'll =
Yes, SIR
Don't you know that you told ne
q lie =
But it was in the we'll, wasn't it 7
and l laughed, hoping to impress
him with the humorous side of the
affair.
That's very funny the old gen.
tleman replied, but I'd better take
you in hand, or you might be telling
funny stories in the Legislature one
of these days and taking up q limb
be thrashed me until all the humor
faded from the joke.

TESTING FURMAN'S INTENSIVE
SYSTEM.

Charlotte Observer A good deal
has been said in our columns lately
about the intensive system of farm
ing pursued by Mr.. Parish Furman,
of Georgia, and on trip to Cabarrus
county the first part of this week this
writer saw a practical demonstration
of its wonderful results. Mr.. Erwin
Harris, a young farmer of Poplar
Tent, became interested 10 the &C.
counts of Furman's intensive system
and concluded to try it. He selec-
ted an acre of ground which be plan
ted in cotton after Furman's PLAN
He put on this acre of ground 1900
pounds of compost. The early sea-
son was bad and the cotton did not
get good stand, but, this fact to the
contrary notwithstanding, be will
make fully three bales from this one
acre. The cotton is neck high to
man and there are from so to rs
bolls to the stalk. Mr.. Harris never
hoed the cotton, but ran a pillow
through to cultivate it. He is SO well
pleased with the result that next
year he will, he says, cultivate as
much land as bis means will allow
under this intensive system. 1t is
simply wonderful and with these
practical results before their eyes, it
will not be long until all our farmers
are pursuing Furmsn's method.

thrilling details of the morrow escape
from death of NJ A. j. Swinton, of
Swiuton's Cut, Columbus County, on
the Wilmington, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad, about seventeen or
eighteen miles above Wilmington,
on Thursday last. He was standing
on the edge of we'll which he had
been digging, when he was pushed
in by strange negro who had come
up and engaged him in conversation.
The negro went to his house, stole
gun and some other articles, came
and threw crosstie and board 10
the we'll aid then went off when
Mr.. Swinton climbed out, not seri-
ously hurt but very much overcome
with fright.

A Nebraska thief devotes bis time
entirely to the larceny of hogs, and
with great success. He goes forth
by night armed with long stick, to
which sponge is fastened, and a
bottle of chloroform. The porcine
victim is lulled to rest by the sn@s-
thetic and then borne silently away.
The other night one of the slumber

wagon A kind-hearted farmer who
came along the road assisted the
thief to load up again, amid profuse
thanks. When the farmer reached
home he discovered that the pig was
from bis own sty.
