An improved gang plow to be used in
the cultivation of corn and other serials
has been patented by Mr.. Milton Mckee
Ritch of Laurinburg, N. c. The inven-
tion consists in placing three beams par
allel with one another. to which the cult
vator teeth are attached, and connecting
them by two screw-threaded horizontal
rods. By means of nuts and washers on
these rods the relative distance between
the plow carrying beams may be increased
or diminished as the case requires, and
thus the furrOws brought nearer together
or further apart. Devices are also suppl-
ed by which the guide handles of the plow
may be separated from one another, or
may be elevated to any desired position.
A noted New York State farmer, S. ID.
Pratt, writes the American Institute farm
ers' club about the care of fruit trees, as
follows: Remembering Prof Liebig's
theory that when vegetable is burned
the part which came from the air in the
process of its growth returns to the atmos-
phere, and the part which came from the
ground is reduced to ashes, came TO the
conclusion that ashes would be beneficial
when applied to the roots of the trees
They were standing in the soil strongly
inclined to clay, with turf around them
that had not been removed for several
years. After pruning them properly, re-
moving every indication OF worms, etc,
and washing the body and branches with
soapsuds, i began operations below, first
removing the turf two feet around the
tree, then with garden pick the
ground was loosened from six to
twelve inches in depth. taking care not to
injure the larger roots. Twenty or thirty
quarts of loose dirt were removed, leaving
a large cavity, shaped like saucer, with
the tree standing in the center. About
one pint of unleached ashed was sprinkled
about the tree. and upon this chip manure
was placed. nearly filling the cavity. An
other pint of ashes was sprinkled upon the
fertilizer. which was gently pressed down.
and the hole covered with the loose dirty
taken from the cavity. leaving the surface
nearly as it was. excepting the turf. a
Young orchard was treated in similar
way. The effect was wonderful. Plum
trees that were "going to the bad" re-
vived Peach trees that had presented
small and shrivelled leaves threw out
luxuriant foliage, and cherry trees gave
fruit larger and fairer than ever before.

that its dignity and self respect are
lowered when it stoops to contro-

no higher sense of right and justice

cause the Heraid knows when it
strikes that there is no one to resent
the blow. a community has no re-
dress against such assaults as the fore
going. An individual, firm
a business conducted under
corporate powers can all seek re.

mated. But the Heraid can plunge its
dagger into community and see its
life blood flow in copious streams, and
chucile IN its malice, conscious of the
fact that the hand of the law cannot
be laid upon it. 1t was such malicious

CORA'S CRIME.

Waco, January 19.--Last night
bloody affray occurred at the Georgia
House, noted bagnio in this city,
kept by n woman named
Cora Mcmahon, in which Hous-
ton negro musician of the estab-
lisflment, was instantly killed ana w.
G.. Wright, white, and visitor to tie
place, severely and perhaps fatally
wounded. 1t appears that Wright,
who lives in Falls county,
came in on the evening train,
and after night, with two young men
also from Falls county, visited the
Georgia House, where d dance was GO
ing on. A disagreement arose be-
tween Houston, the negro must
elan, and one of the young men When
the former struc the latter and
then drew pistol threatening to kill.
AS the quarrel progressed Cora Nc
Mahon ran into the room and brought
a shotgun to the negro but just rs he
was in the act of leveling it on one of
the young men another of the three
drew II pistol and shot Houston
through the heart, killing him instant
y
gun was discharged shooting Wright
through the breast intlicting terri
BILE wound from which he
probably will die. The gun was load
ed with bird-shot, some of which it is
believed penetrated the lungs. An
inquest was held to-day in which il
was shown that Wright and his com
panions made no hostile demonstra
lions until the fatal shot was
fired and "A verdict was
rendered that the homicide was iusti

guilty of aiding and abetling the
assault with intent To kill, and war.

Denison, January ia negro wo-

Woodward street, informed the local
authorities that she saw eight or ten
men on Wednesday night in cousulta-
ton near Legate's carpenter shop. On
the east side of this building are the
cannons and caisons of the Denison
Artillery. Under the gun carriage
were found, yesterday, all the papers
that were in the safe in Yeidel's sa-
loon, which was robbed on Thursday
morning, and it is thought that
these men are an organized band of
burglars from some Northern city.
Last night a negro struck another
negro ON the head with an axe, frac-
turing his skull. The wound is proba-
bly, fatal. Al the same time he struck
a negro girl ON the arm and nearly

was that the assailing party found the
